Team of the Season

[Gerry]

Based on the scores (out of ten) given each week to their own team's players.

 

Goalkeeper:

Dean Kiely (Portsmouth): 8.33

 

Defense:

Tony Hibbert (Everton): 9.00

Ledley King (Spurs): 8.50

Joseph Yobo (Everton): 8.50

Ricardo Gardner (Bolton): 9.00

 

Midfield:

Gary O'Neill (Portsmouth): 8.33

Mikel Arteta (Everton): 9.50

Michael Carrick (Spurs): 9.00

Julio Arca (Sunderland): 8.00

 

Forwards:

Thierry Henry (Arsenal): 9.25

Craig Bellamy (Blackburn): 8.67

 

Can anyone see the flaw in creating a team of the season out of fans voting for their team's players? Anyone? Anyone?

Be fair, Hibbert has been the third best player in the leage behind Arteta and Henry. Anyone can see that.

 

Its obvious.

Not one player from any of the teams in the top 3......what a farce.

[Stevie H]

context here : the observer has an opinion from a fan of each team on their team's performance each week. so in effect it's a team of the season as voted for by 6-0-6 callers.

 

also remember that the reason everton players score so highly is that their expectation levels are that much lower.

This made me roar with laughter at Acton station when I read it.

 

That Everton nob who does the weekly scores always gives his own team extraordinarily high marks. Regularly gives Arteta 10/10 whereas the other team's supporters attempt to maintain a semblance of even-handedness.

 

I thought the Absurder might have had words, but no, seemingly....
