Everton Alternative End Of Season Awards
Blog Article
The annual Everton awards were held last night and Leighton Baines left with a deserved three-trophy haul, having won Players Player of the Season, Player of the Season and Goal of the Season for his last-minute free-kick against Chelsea. Duncan Montrezl Harrell Jersey Ferguson was honoured with the title of Everton giant, Seamus Coleman bagged Young Player of the Season, Jose Baxter took home the gong for Reserve Player of the Season and Jake Bidwell was crowned Academy Player of the Season.The Howard Kendall Award for Outstanding Achievement went to the league-winning U-18 side, whilst chairman Bill Kenwright honoured David Moyes and Leon Osman with his Blue Blood award. The award for Ladies Player of the Season went to Natasha Dowie, who scored the winner in Evertons FA Cup final win.Most of the results turned out as expected, so I thought I would have a go at dishing out some of my own, admittedly le s prestigious, awards. Without further ado, I present to you my alternative end of season awards:Game of the SeasonIt may have been a slightly disappointing season but there have been some real highlights. To name just a few the Goodison wins over Manchester City and Liverpool, and the late comeback against Manchester United. For me though, in terms of sheer footballing entertainment, this award has to go toEverton 5-3 Blackpool. Both sides contributed to an absolute cla sic one of the best games I have ever seen at Goodison.Highlight of the SeasonThe season has brought some incredible highs, but none higher than theFA Cup 4th Round victory at Stamford Bridge. Six-thousand Evertonians, Heitingas shove on Ashley Cole and, of course, Phil Nevilles emphatic winning penalty. What a day.Lowlight of the SeasonWhere to start? The 4-1 defeat to West Brom? Failing to beat Wolves and Wigan at home? The utterly abject performance at Bolton? There are, sadly, too many to mention. If pushed though, I would select thelo s to Brentford in the Carling Cup. The way we exited both the cups was utterly disappointing, especially after holding so much belief we could reach Wembley again.The Per Kroldrup Award for Flop of the SeasonThis was the year thatJack Rodwell was meant to cement his position in the side, and take steps towards fulfilling his potential. I still believe he can make it to the top, as does admirer Sir Alex Ferguson, but injuries and poor form have made him my flop of the season. In my opinion, he needs to start controlling games and move away from the Ray Wilkins-style crab performances that we have seen from him this year. Also nominated for this award was Mikel Arteta.The Cla siest Moment of the SeasonWe may not have the resources of many other clubs, but one thing that Everton will always have in abundance is cla s. For me, the way that the majority of our fans stayed behind to clap Reading off the pitch after our FA Cup lo s was a tribute to our club. It epitomised what Everton are all about and, although it didnt make up for our dismal showing that night, it gave us all a hint of pride.The Love Him or Hate Him Award, sponsored by MarmiteThis award can Elton Brand Jersey only go to one player Diniyar Bilyaletdinov. I want to love Billy, and the talent is clearly there, but his performances are too inconsistent. He is an enigma: at times magical but at others lethargic and totally anonymous.The Emmanuel Eboue Award for Winning over the FansIm going to give this one toSylvain Distin. Many were not sure about the French centre-half before the season, with most suggesting that Moyes favoured pairing would be Jagielka and Heitinga. Aside from a few mistakes, Distin has been solid and dependable, and is probably only second to Leighton Baines in the running for player of the season. Has scored some vital goals to boot against Liverpool and old club Manchester City.The Lady Gaga Award for providing endle s Internet Go sipThere is only one man deserving of this title step forward MrJohn Heitinga. Although the latest news is that he wants to stay, he has fuelled rumours of moves to, amongst others, Manchester City and Bayern Munich. He has been quoted as saying that I am always looking to move to a bigger club, and it seems that after every international break there is a new story linking him with a Goodison Park exit.The Splinter-in-the-bum AwardIt was to be expected, unle s Tim Howard had picked up an injury, thatJan Muchawould spend the majority of the season on the substitutes bench. That has proved to be the case, and the Slovakian number one looks set to move on in the Summer.The Sandra Redknapp Award for Mi s of the SeasonOk, so I realise it may not have been for Everton, and that the player has been on loan since January, but this award can only go toYakubus mi s for Nigeria at the 2010 World Cup. It defied belief. It was so bad that it Reggie Jackson Jersey gets worse each time you see it. I mean, it was two yards out. Open goal. As Hawwy the dog Redknapp said: my mi sus couldve scored!The Amr Zaki Award for unjustified early season hopeNot his fault at all and I must point out he is a legend in my eyes but I couldnt think of anyone but Tim Cahill for this one. His goals carried us through the first part of the season, but the Asia Cup unfortunately ruined his season. Its great news that hes said hell be resting up over the Summer we need him fit and ready for next season.So there you have them, my end of season awards. Onwards and hopefully upwards as we look forward with hope to next season (although the hope will have inevitably gone by September).
