Congratulations to Steven Gerrard on winning the Football Writer's Association Player of the Year Award. Well done. That's one trophy going to Liverpool this season... Hang on though, what's this:
Steven Gerrard wins by default because we just had too many players that were better than him? Display that trophy with pride Stevie...The choice of Gerrard has echoes of 1999 when Tottenham Hotspur's David Ginola was named Footballer of the Year even though Manchester United won the Treble that year.
Sir Alex Ferguson has never let football writers forget this 'unforgivable' oversight but 10 years on the United vote was once more split to an extent it allowed an 'outsider' to come through.
It will be of little consolation to Ferguson but United players have been a victim of their own success again as far as the Footballer of the Year is concerned with six of the top eight choices.
