Terry and Rooney take player of the year awards

Terry takes award
Rooney takes award
Now while I dont think anyone can argue with Terry, I am a little surprised at Rooney.

While Rooney has done well, someone like Stuart Downing or SWP should have got it I think, as they have both been consistantly outstanding. Rooney has been solid, but in a much better side.

As for Terry, well pleased to see him get it. Deserves every bit of it. I cant wait to see him lift the Premiership trophy.

I am convinced Andry Gray knows something we all don't. He knew Man Utd would sing Rooney and he knew that it would be Rooney and Terry. Well deserved for both players.

And Rooney is the youngest of that group so he deserves it even more so!

Terry deserves it however Rooney doesnt.
He has scored 10 goals this year in the league which is very average for a striker.

couldnt agree with you more.. Robben deserved it. Totally changed the chelsea team - when he returned from injury.

Well who does then. Downing hasnt being playing well for a long time. SWP is the only other but he hasnt being on form all the time. Im not saying Rooney deserves it hands down but i wouldnt argue that much with the decision

Downing and SWP have both been playing very well all year.

Rooney has done well, but by United fans own admission has had his fair share of poor games too.

Rooney blows hot and cold
Great goal today but he was anonymous up to that.
He has a habit of one good game then 3 poor matches in a row.
He is very inconsistent.

Fair play to Terry, he truly deservews his award
Rooney????
surely either Fabregas or SWP would have been better choices, as pointed out earlier Rooney blows hot and cold

Its the players that have to play against him that decide it - you gotta trust their judgement. They see a lot more than the goals.

Well done to both of them they both thourghly deserve their awards. The senior one coulsd have gone to any of the nominated Chelsea players TBH. The players player of the year is one of the more meaningfull awards and is coveted by the players because it is voted for by their fellow professionals.

Anyone hear about this ?

On ITV Teletext the viewers vote so far gives the nod the Jamie Carragher,with two weeks to go.

glad to see john terry get it. who was the last defender to get it? as for rooney he has had a good season playing at the top level of competitions but i think swp was that bit more impressive especially doing it at a club like city-no offence,

Paul McGrath I think although that may have been the football writers one .

It the player of the year awards, and although it is just the premiership, last summer in europe is taken into account. There Rooney was amazing, so I figure he has won it on that.
