MUMMY, I WON!: CRISTIANO WINS THE BIG ONE, SORT OF
The PFA awards were handed out to another bunch of douchies this weekend. Take a look at the winners, will you:
Cristiano Ronaldo - Player of the Year
Redundancy appears to have reached new heights now that Crissie, our most beloved fashion-forward midfielder after Freddie, has pulled on a shirt that reads 'soccer' on it. And at a promo shoot for a soccer-minded award no less. (Forgive us but what does that shirt say exactly? Honest question - it's cut off. Anyone know?) Watch for the 'Oh noes, he's shipping off to MLS!' rumours to light up the interwebz soon. His hair is also looking more triangular than usual, like he's attempting to resemble the hunk of metal he's holding. Camouflage, perhaps. Psychoanalysts might have fun with this.
Cristiano says he voted for Adebayor to win; Adebayor says something that sounds a bit like a secret dialect of pig latin. We can never understand a single word the man says. (BTW: We completely went off Ade after he got that haircut. He reached his peak of unlikely-hotness with us round the time of the head-butting incident)
The dejected nominiees -
Fernando Torres
Steven Gerrard
Cesc Fabregas
Emmanuel Adebayor
David James
Cesc Fabregas - Young Player of the Year
As deserving as Cesc is, the first question we've got to ask here is: Why isn't this a clean sweep for dear X-tina? Cristiano should win every award he's nominated for this year. Mind, we haven't even a droplet of United supporter-ness in us so don't you go and push us in that corner - it just seems the obvious choice. If you really want to stretch it, fine: Torres. Nando has come into a club, looked enormous amounts of pressure (hello, record transfer fee!) right in the face and squashed it to pieces. He's managed to become an integral part of a team in just one season scoring some thirty-odd goals along the way. For any newcomer that's difficult (Chelsea, you know), for a young player that is an incredible feat.

It was nice of Ronaldo to dress up, don't you think? And while Cesc dressed up, he looks like he's going to eat my soul.
Cescy won the young one! Woop! He won because it was voted for in January when he was top of his game, and his fellow football peers probably thought Ronaldo (23) and Torres (24) are too old to be considered "young". I'm not complaining. :D
Ronaldo looks like he's just stepped off the set of Grease, though. :S

Yay! Go Cescy! And I think Ronaldo and Torres are like so old! Well, for this award, I mean... Congrats to Cesc and [grudgingly mumbles] congrats Ronaldo.
Ronaldo looks like a weird, contaminated amoeba.
Cesc looks... okay, i guess. His face is looking not so hot like it normally does. But the suit looks sexy. Reminds me of James Bond. Ooh la la... ;)
Kudos to Bac, Ade and Cesc for making team of the year.

Am I the only person who finds CRonaldo all creepy and slimy and ugh? *shudder*
that outfit doesn't help mind. meanwhile Cesc looks faintly cross-eyed but he gets kudos for the suit with its faintly costume-drama like collar. also bonus points for cuff-links. I like a man who knows how to dress up.
I always think that the same players shoulnd't be nominated for both awards, it seems to take away the point of the whole thing somehow.
do you ever cover the Italian WAG scene? and/or those players in the italian leagues who might be, ahem, worthy of female attention?

You're definitely not. He totally creeps me out. In fact, I think the older he gets, the worse he looks.

Ronaldo's shirt does say "Soccer". I watch the clip on Sky and you could see it clearly.
Nope, I don't like Ronaldo, either. He's far too cheesy. And not cheesy in a good way, like Alex Hleb is. He's just immaculately groomed and has a "bod". Personally, if I want to look at a bod, I head straight for Freddie. *Drools.* The original Dr. Schmex!
Sarah - He does look a bit creepy there but at least he had enough sense to dress up. He's got that deatheater-Bond look.
Marnie - Of course, you wouldn't complain ;)
CLB - The thing that bugs me is that Torres and Cristiano are clearly more deserving of the award, older or not. I too am glad Bacary got his due. He's been brilliant this season.
SP - Ronaldo can indeed be very slimy. And his taste in woman is a strong indication that he may have a hollow head as well.
On the Italian WAG/player tip: We haven't gotten around to Serie A WAGs and players lately although Helena Seger's (Zlatan) outfits have been a constant source of amusement. Il Capitano popping up on Italian Big Brother a few weeks back was interesting. If you spot anything you think we'd like, you can always zap us a tip. Our inbox moonlights as a slag-a-WAG-off hotline.
Loz2hi - First, welcome! So it was 'soccer', eh? What a dummie.
