When the nominees (Rooney, Aguero, RVP, Parker, Silva, Hart) for 'BEST FOOTBALLER IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE' were announced yesterday, I was not too pleased with the list because one player was inexplicably omitted from it. There is no law that says the shortlist should consist of only 6 players. If FIFA could break their rule in 09, how much less the Professional Footballers' Association of England! 3 years ago, the World football governing body, FIFA went against their usual routine of trimming down their final shortlist to three when they announced a strong 5 man list as final contenders for arguably the biggest individual prize in football---THE FIFA WORLD FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR.The list comprised of Xavi, Kaka, CR7, Messi, and El Nino.
This year's PFA 'FINAL SIX' without doubt merit their nominations, but the obvious omission was NORWICH's GRANT HOLT. Don't crucify me peeps, it's my HONEST OPINION. The Canaries skipper has done no wrong this season. His 13 EPL goals including strikes against MUFC, LIVERPOOL and CHELSEA have proved invaluable and helped Lambert's wards to an impressive showing in the LEAGUE so far. Against all odds, the Landlords of Carrow Road are already safe from relegation and could even climb into the top half when the final EPL table is drawn. Among Englishmen, Only Wazza (Wayne Rooney)-(24) has scored more league goals.
It is undoubted that HOLT will not win the award even if nominated....Nevertheless, it would have been satisfying and a thing of pride knowing that his heroics haven't gone unnoticed.
