As well as Ronaldo taking the individual spoils, the PFA Team of the Season was also announced last night. It makes sweet reading for Man Utd fans, with no less than eight United players making the cut: Edwin van der Sar; Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra; Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Cristiano Ronaldo (all Man Utd), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool); Didier Drogba (Chelsea), Dimitar Berbatov (Spurs)
I don’t argue with Vidic, Evra, Scholes and Ronaldo, but I would dispute the claims of Van der Sar (Petr Chech, Ben Foster and David James have had better seasons), G Neville (Steve Finnan has been the best right-back in the Prem by a mile), Rio Ferdinand (not as good as Jamie Carragher or Ricardo Carvalho) and Ryan Giggs (no Michael Essien?). Liverpool and Chelsea have conceded fewer goals than United and it seems wrong that not one defender from either club makes it into this team.
