Oh, the first game to vote on will be the Standard Liege game on Wednesday.

The Liverpool Supporters’ Player of the Season game. Hello everyone. Some of you may know me. I am a visitor to quite a few LFC sites and have been the custodian of the player of the season game for 4 years now. The game has spanned 5 different sites in its time and last year the main voters came from Est1892, 6CM, Scouser Tommy, TLW and YNWA. I am hoping that more voters from other sites will give a more accurate picture of our feelings as Liverpool supporters. I am hoping that you will play a part in this 5th year to enable us to get a picture of our players’ performances and to crown a worthy winner come May 2009. Previous winners: 2005 – Jamie Carragher 2006 – Steven Gerrard 2007 – Dirk Kuyt 2008 – Javier Mascherano Many people felt that last year’s winner should have been Fernando Torres or José Reina, and I admit to having some sympathy with this, but the votes were cast and the outcome was fair. This year, the format will be the same. Instead of voting for a single player as your Man of the match, you vote for your top 3. This enables a “steady Eddie” like Reina or Finnan to get his mentions and gain some points. (I did think about a top 5 list, but can foresee problems when the result goes against us…getting people to vote for 1 player is hard enough!) Points are the same as last year, top player gets 5 points, second player gets 3 and third player gets a single point. All competitive games are counted, CC, FA, CLQs, CL and league matches. I shall post current league tables so that we can follow the players’ performances throughout the season. Hopefully, the tables will put an end to the “Pennant is s****” type of arguments. If a moderator could ensure a sticky when I post a Man of the Match thread, I would be grateful…also it would be nice if I could have a sticky league table thread for the game throughout the season. Thanks for your support in this. YNWA. Stu.

Dirk Kuyt will be our new Kevin Keegan.

Result: Tottenham Hotspur - Away - PL 1. Torres..............................102 votes............................5 points 2. Reina................................44 votes............................3 points 3. Gerrard..............................34 votes.............................1 point. An end of season feel to the game this week...no stream available so not many people saw the match. Most people were more inclined to vote for their player of the season though...more later. ST and TLW voted as above. Est1892 and 6CM voted Gerrard and Reina in swap positions. YNWA had Skrtel 2nd and Insua 3rd...a unique perspective on the match. FINAL TABLE: 1. Mascherano.............................................93 points 2. Gerrard.....................................................88 points 3. Torres.......................................................80 points 4. Kuyt..........................................................36 points 5. Hyypia.......................................................31 points 6. Pennant.....................................................26 points 7. Benayoun...................................................25 points 8. Carragher...................................................22 points 9. Skrtel.........................................................21 points 10.Babel.........................................................20 points 11.Reina........................................................16 points 12.Lucas.........................................................14 points 13.Aurelio......................................................11 points 14.Alonso.......................................................8 points 15.Voronin/Finnan/Crouch............................7 points 16.Arbeloa......................................................5 points 17.Sissoko/Itandje..........................................4 points 18.Plessis........................................ ...............3 points 19.Kewell......................................... .............. 2 points 20.Hobbs/El Zhar.............................................1 point. I added up your nominations for Player of the Season in the same way each match day is calculated, 3 points for your first vote, 2 for your second and 1 for your 3rd vote. The results were: 1. Torres.............................162 2. Mascherano........................91 3. Gerrard..............................62 I found this fascinating. The perception is that Torres is our winner although the season long table only has him in 3rd place, behind the Captain. I believe that we tend to forget what has gone on in the past, and focus on the last 10 games or so...in which case Torres has set a new Premiership foreigner's scoring record etc... Also, Pepe Reina picked up a few votes in this thread since it has been noted he has won the Golden gloves for the third time in a row. Mascher is therefore our winner, and in my opinion rightly so. His harrying performances in the centre of midfield have singled him out for special praise from the Kop choir this year...in a year where Xabi has been under-par for most of it, and Gerrard has been more free to roam forward... The Winners table: 2005..................JAMIE CARRAGHER 2006..................STEVEN GERRARD 2007..................DIRK KUYT 2008..................JAVIER MASCHERANO!!!

Liverpool 25 Reina 17 Arbeloa 23 Carragher 37 Skrtel 48 Insua 18 Kuyt (80 Lucas ) 08 Gerrard 20 Mascherano 19 Babel (59 Benayoun ) 09 Torres 10 Voronin (71 Finnan ) 1. 2. 3. Thanks. Also for a bit of fun, please put your Player of the Season preferences just to see whether they tally with the official figures. (My take is that we forget the season as a whole and just concentrate on the last 5 or 6 games). Player of the season: 1. 2. 3. Thanks.

Result: Manchester City - Home - PL 1. Torres...................................209 votes.......................5 points 2. Kuyt......................................175 votes.......................3 points 3. Mascherano............................174 votes.......................1 point. This was a classic contest this week. Torres won by virtue of such a big score on one particular site. ST and Est1892 had Kuyt ahead of Torres, then Mascher. 6CM and TLW had Mascher top with Dirk and then Torres. YNWA had Torres then Mascher and Dirk. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION. Amazing how people think different thoughts ain't it? Current standings: 1. Mascherano..............................................93 points 2. Gerrard.....................................................87 points 3. Torres.......................................................75 points 4. Kuyt..........................................................36 points 5. Hyypia.......................................................31 points 6.
