It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
There isn't a 3rd, 2nd or 1st is there? Fourth is as good as it gets![]()
Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
Don't think he's been "superb", mainly decent but given the quality of performances from some of the other players he probably deserves to be 4th. Still think we need an upgrade on players like Arteta if we want to be serious about challenging for any trophies next season.
A pretty low key award for player of the season this year I would have thought.
Be interesting to see how it pans out.
Cazorla will obviously come first. Probably Theo next, then Kos?
My order would be different, but I guess that's how the kids of today see things.

fwiw, Kos is my player of the season.
IMO it should be 3/Theo 2/Koscielny and 1/Cazorla. Koscielny would have won it if it had not been for his poor early season form.
My top 4 pick would be Merts, Kos, Theo and Cazorla. Merts gets overlooked by too many on here because of his size and pace but he’s cemented his position as a first team starter in no time. He’s been pretty solid and has only had a few blips in form but overall he’s been solid. An intelligent defender and much like Arteta, he’s had to make up for his limitations by making smart decisions and good positioning. A commander at the back that helps keep the shape to the backline. I should get a mention because we’d never have achieved 4th with a Kos and Verm combo.
Theo has had a record breaking season for us and we’d have been sunk without his goals and assists. We still need more from him but can’t be too harsh on that record. 21 goals and 17 assists. 14 goals and 13 assist in the Prem. Like Cazorla, he played in patches and couldn’t influence a game for 90 solid minutes but he delivered.
Cazorla had a very solid first season but as said with Theo, he had plenty of games where he went missing when we really needed him. But you can’t argue with 12 goals and 16 assists for a debut season. He’ll continue to get better if he keeps the hard work going.
Either one of these players would be worthy of player of the season.
