2020 Association Football Awards

It's that time again! The time where reflect on a year of some sensible discussion, shitfights, posting factual, humourous and factually humourous twitter links, shitfights, matchday commentary, shitfights, talking about films, shitfights, speculation and, of course, shitfights.

Same process as usual, voting will be open until 10:00pm AEDT 19/01 (AKA next Tuesday) and then I will tally the votes and release them in an orderly fashion. Past winners of the prestigious Poster of the Year badge have been:

2017: RossFC
2018: chef
2019: Bojan

There have been some changes to the awards courtesy of Ross. The "worst" awards have been discontinued (it's been a tough 12 months, so let's just focus on the positives) and there is no more Favourite Poster, because that doesn't really differ from Best too much. Vote away!

I'm a little worried that next year's Most Biased Supporter Award is going to be renamed the Zidane Award.

So having said that... ahem.

Klopp is the best manager on the planet and probs all time, better than SAF.

Henderson is the best CM in world football and also the best captain.

Fabinho is not only the best DM in world football but he is also the second best central defender on the planet. Options.

VVD is the best CB on the planet, even injured, in the stands, he's still better than anyone just cos of his off pitch influence.

TAA is the best RB in the world. He will be better than Gerrard eventually.

Joel Matip is the 3rd best CB in world football. Could be better than Fabinho if he could stay fit.

Joe Gomez should be the first English player picked for the upcoming Euro's such is his importance to football in the UK. He would be a better captain than Kane.

Robbo is the best LB on the planet and the most important person in Scotland's national history.

Thiago is so good that Bayern have turned to s**t without him and Lewandowski's goals have dried up without Thiago's assists.

Wijnaldum is the best Dutch footballer of all time.

Mo Salah is so influential on the ring wing that much like Makelele, the right wing position should now just be referred to as the Salah role.

Whoever we bring in on the left to back up Sadio will be the second best player in world football in the Mane role.

Sadio is first.

Firmino is the best Brazilian striker of all time.

Shaq's calfs are the biggest in the world. Moving forward all animals who have calfs will now be referred to as having Shaqs. He also has the best shooty gun hands.

Jota is the greatest Portuguese player to ever play in the PL.

James Milner only retired from international duty because he's such a great bloke and wanted to give other nations a chance to win silverware.

Kelleher would start for every other PL team, only reason he doesnt at Liverpool is because he's behind Alisson.

Pep Ljinders is the best coach named Pep in Europe.



Right I think that should do it for a few more years...

I'd have to strongly disagree there, have only ever stated factual information when it comes to stuff like that and those same posters are generally nowhere to be found when exactly the same thing happens against Liverpool which it has on a large scale this season.
