Probably I've watched more one day cricket than EPL/CL games. From what I've seen I'd go for Steve Finnan this season.

Doyle has been the best even of he's not going to win the PFA Young Player award (he would have run it close if he hadn't been injured).
Second probably Finnan or Hunt.
Close but no cigar would include fat Paddy Kenny and Dunne.
Dunne for me. Carsley also having a good season.
Finnan definitely.
Ya all that have been mentioned would be in my list:
1. Finnan
2. Hunt
3. Carsley
4. Dunne
5. Doyle (just as he missed 3 - 4 months)
Kenny for me. Caught an awful lot of Sheffield United games this season and although he had a few well publicized howlers, he kept that fairly woeful team from conceding hatfuls of goals.
Are you for real? Keane's got 7 goals in the premiership this season despite being first choice for most of it.Quote:

Stephen Hunt for me
hunt for me too,love his honest approach to the game
I love his corner flag tackling celebration, that gets him 2nd for me.Quote:

I'd give it to Hunt simply for improving ten fold as a player in the space of a few months...Where he is now is remarkable achievement for anybody, and its a credit to him. He deserves plenty of plaudits.
Finnan.
Special mention to Darren O Dea who hasn't put a foot wrong for Celtic when he played for them. If only for a few months
Richard Dunne, followed by Finnan.
Harsh on Keane.. His stats this year are deceptively impressive. His seven premiership goals came from only 14 starts (with a further 8 aps coming off the bench).. 18 goals in all competitions for Spurs isn't a bad return either.Quote:

keane wasnt 1st choice for most of it only over the past few mths!... he's played 22 league games and has 7 goals..... but in all comps has 18 goals in 39 games 2 off berbatov who has an extra 5 games!...... he's ahead of henry,martins,yakubu,saha,schevchenko...(i could go on) in goals in all comps this season!.Quote:

Probably doyle or hunt for me, especially where you consider these lads were last yr(championship) and 2 years ago (Eircom Lge & English Lge 1).
They play the game with a refreshing honesty & their interviews as well show how down to earth they are, no Prima-donna's there!
Ha ha ha .... nice one, good joke!Quote:

Cannot answer this question, until Rocking Ronnie gets going in the whatever they call the North American League.
Anyone see World Soccer's Team of the Month for March. Portugal's Bola magazine's contribution to the voting included....
at centre half
...John O'Shea.
Hopes are for him to be back on the TFC home opener on the 28th vs. Kansas City.Quote:
