Benteke or Wilshire for the young player.

I like Carrick, but he isn't even close.

I actually kind of think it's between Suarez and Bale, but I don't see Suarez winning because he's largely a giant piece of crap.

3 game suspension for Giroud with that red

[d_phaneuf]

that being said red was harsh, I could see them appeal but who knows what the FA does

Bale, Mata, Carrick, Van Persie, Hazard, Suarez

Young Player of year: Bale, Hazard, Benteke, Lukaku, Welbeck, Wilshere

those are my guesses, although I would give young player to Lukaku (excluding Bale/Hazard as they normally do as he is nominated for the main one)

.....who is leading the PL in scoring....

Bayern blow out Hannover 6-1. Claudio Pizarro with 2, that guy is just ridiculous.

I'm really surprised that Carrick got the nomination, and was thinking he's finally getting the recognition..

While RVP, but more so Suarez & Bale have been lighting it up, Carrick has gone on to be United's most valuable player this season.

If Totts finishes top 4, Bale takes both.

[d_phaneuf]

voting all ready finished I believe, which is why I think it's between Bale/RVP

I believe voting ends in mid-march (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/foo...-a-revamp.html in 2009 it ended March 16) and I remember it being mentioned last year as well

so RVP's dry spell hadn't really started yet and Bale was unplayable in February/March

I had no problem with the Carrick Nom

my top 6 would have been

Bale, RVP, Suarez, Mata, Michu, Carrick

[The Big Chill]

What a game. Very entertaining.

[d_phaneuf]

incredible scenes

[devo22]

I tuned in after the F1 Grand Prix, about with about 20 minutes left. Was not disappointed.

[azzarish]

Wow, it's not often you see City collapse like that.

[d_phaneuf]

decent player

[azzarish]

Come on Liverpool!

Hoping we can get an early goal. Haven't scored in our last 2 games.

Hope we give Rafa a good reception.

[d_phaneuf]

Liverpool win here would be fantastic

Torres purposely scoring an own goal, ripping off his shirt with a Liverpool kit underneath would be icing on the cake

And maybe a Rafa OG too!

[d_phaneuf]

wow just realized

RVP guard of honour at Arsenal next week if United win or draw on Monday, that's better than them winning the league there

INCREDIBLE

yes please

[Locke]

Well, at least it wont be 0-0. Again.

[The Big Chill]

It's amazing how poor we are at defending set pieces. It usually isn't an organization problem either, it's just someone not tracking their player.
