David James, Andy Johnson, James Beattie and Adam Lallana have all been nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award.
Not that weird, good but not world class players having the best season of their career plus one who sorted a lot of brown envelopes for referees.
Would you think they'd been amongst the 6 best players in a season though?
Surprised at James as keepers don't usually tend to get nominated but the other 3 yes.
2 are strikers so a good goalscoring season will likely see you nominated and Lallana was quality for Southampton, that's why he got a move to Liverpool.
Nottingham Forest and Notts County are separated by just 200 yards
They both played at home tonight for the first time in 30-years
Aren't Dundee and Dundee Utd closer ?
Yeah 200 yards is as the crow flys, but unless you want to get wet and can swim, its more like 0.5M between those 2 grounds as you need to cross a bridge.
But Dundee and Dundee United are virtually on the same street

Possibly, if others they'd be compared against had a bit of a stinker. Didn't Johnson, for example, have a purple patch where he couldn't stop scoring?
there was already an older defender playing for Brazil called Ronaldo so when Ronaldo (PSV /Barca/ Madrid) started in the team he was called Ronaldinho. Then when old Ronaldo retired Ronaldinho became Ronaldo and then another Ronaldo joined the team and was given the Ronaldinho name (the buck toothed lobber of David Seaman)
I remember reading somewhere that all three Ronaldos where in the squad, at least, at the same time so the defender was Ronaldo, the PSV one was Ronaldinho (little Ronaldo) and the buck toothed one was Ronaldinho Gaucho.

I'm so glad you qualified it as 'David'. My screen reader might have told a very unpleasant story.
According to the pundits and commentators Leeds United are an amazing team with an amazing coach and even though they were 4-1 at half time today, they were likely to pull it back. They lost 6-2 and could quite easily have shipped 12, but it's apparently a fact that they are a fantastic team!
Both Rooney and Gerrard were given massive pay rises to stay put.
Aubamayang will be on 250k a week for 3 years at the Arsenal ! Not bad for a guy who is now 32 !
Matt Le Tissier, may have been an exception and the Guernsey born player was the most naturally gifted footballer I have seen on the ball who have played for England (Paul Gascoigne was the main rival for that title)
Matthew was loyal to Southampton where he played for 16 years but his work rate and stamina was problematical, he had no pace and knew that he wouldn't be given a free reign at any of the top clubs. Only 8 caps for England proves that unless you build a team around him, Matt wasn't going to chase back.
This is not a fact. What about Steve Bull?
Not where near a fact, just an opinion.
Gerrard may have got a pay rise to stay at Liverpool, but I bet he could have earnt more at Chelsea. Yes it wasn't complete loyalty because he got an incentive to stay, but loyalty nonetheless.
As recently as the Alex Ferguson regime, Man United have played two top flight games in two days. 1st January 1988 v Charlton at Old Trafford (0-0 Bob Bolder heroics) then the next day they played away at Watford winning 1-0

That can't possibly be true, but someone has just sent me it. Must be premier league?
@golfaddick would have a heart attack
But Dundee and Dundee United are virtually on the same street
Yerry Mina (Everton) last 4 Premier League goals have all been scored in the 45th minute
...like a load of houses.
Eh. The teams and/or league and year.
