Players player looks like its going to Blind :eek:

The players are blind.

That's no surprise at all really. He has been excellent this season and formed part of a rock solid defence. As one of our best new signings.

Seems very likeable and has real leadership qualities.

Not surprised in the slightest if he wins players player. Players will have totally different criteria to fans.

Maybe I'm blind then

Weakest link in our defence apart from Rojo/Valencia

Blind getting player of the season would be a joke.

Would be in keeping with the nonsense of a season though.

Has anything happened yet? Watching the Spurs game

I think Blind is only getting it because LVG likes to run his fingers through his long hair

DEmbele Eye gouges Costa.. probably Fellaini's fault!

Wouldn't think so. Early on the view was "He's doing okay, but he is going to get destroyed by <insertstrikerofthemonthhere>" He's played an entire season and done very well, key part of the 2nd best defence in the PL and hasn't been destroyed by any striker. Only game I recall him being brutal in was the game against Watford where I think TFM was having his first start and Blind was simply awful, giving the ball away multiple times.

I don't know that Blind is good *enough*, and United seem to have real problems dealing with crosses, but he's done well in the role and seems to have the players respect. I'd have though De Gea would get it, but not incredible if Blind does.

Dembele is now second favourite behind Jose for the United job after that.;)

“For a manager winning a title is much more important but I am manager of Manchester United, for United it is much more important to play in the Champions League. And it is still possible. We have to win the last three matches and I said that before the match against Leicester City.

Jayop

So the easiest comparison to Blind is our other CB this season Smalling and lets face it, out of the two of those it's pretty clear which one has been better.

Please don't even say it is, he should of scored 4 or 5 that game if he had his shooting boots on, it was nothing to do with him being in blinds pocket

It's really not, they've had as many bad games as each other. Blind's had to cover for Smalling a lot and hasn't looked out of place against big players who should by all rights be able to muscle him out of games.

As for the comment above, I've never seen a defender make a fool of a striker in the same way as Blind did to Lukaku in the league recently. Was just taking the ball from him at will.

Its not from the FA Cup, its from after the league game

Rashford has won the U18 award. Mad to think he can win that award having been a huge player for the seniors!

Did he even play mutch for the u18s? He played for the 21s as well.

Thought a player like Gribbon would of won it although he has been injured lately.

No not at all he was stating how it was. Imagine the backlash if he said it be ok to win the FA cup and be a successful season.

He actually only played a couple games for u21s he played more for the U18 then any of them.

Weir should have won that u21s award

Worthy Champions, amazing stuff. Fairytales in football still exist between all the bull**** money and corruption (Fifa) involved in soccer

Roy of the rovers ****, glad to witness it. Even if I didn't want them to win yesterday, still wanted them to do it outright. Nobody else deserved to be near them this year.

It's too do with how they've done it,with spending little too no money and it only being there second year back in the Premier League after being not in it for over a decade,while we've spunked away,I think a quarter of a billion and are struggling too get into the top 4,and as you've said it's more so me being bitter at my own team,then towards them.

Did anyone watch the match tonight? Delighted for Leicester. Unbeievable achievement.

Spurs were an embarrassment tonight. A bottle job of the highest order. Should have had 3 possibly 4 players sent off. Not one ounce of sympathy for them after that.

Sure the top 4 or 5 teams in the league haven't performed but that's not Leicestershire fault and even taking that into account, if you took the "top 4" out of the betting at the start of the season would Leicester be anywhere in your mind as the top team after that? Puts it into even more perspective IMO.

Not taking anything away from Leicester but for multiple reasons including the manger we have simply not been good enough. The best team won the league. The team spirit has to be admired. Football is full of mercenary bull**** but not Leicester and that's what make it such a great story
