West Ham's Scott Parker wins Football Writers' award

Who thinks that?!

He is overrated, but I think a lot of his contributions are off the pitch (not that that really matters when choosing the best player, though).

Last time there was a thread about Parker this is what I was told..

Wait, I remember that. People saying that he's good enough and deserves to have a big move to a team like Liverpool or Man Utd this summer then us two saying how he's had his chance with Chelsea a few years ago?

Yeah, that's the one.

Parker found his level.. fighting a relegation battle.

Fucking hell Kyro, your really not a fan are you?

Some prick of Sunday Supplement said that he wouldn't vote for him because West Ham haven't won any silverware, how the fuck people like that get on TV as "experts" is beyond me.

Good player but overrated

Parker is a good player in a shit team.

Shitecunt in a shite team.

This again

You're a moron.

Good player, as long as he stays in a shite team he should be alright. Big fish in a small pond,

He's so underrated.

lololololol

He's not underrated at all.

He's just taking all the credit because he wear his heart on his sleeve.

Funny how the big team glory hunters get mad when a good player at a lower team wins something.

It's not like that at all

Everyone got angry at Bale winning the PFA player of the year.

Don't try and take the usual 'I support a lower league team so I'm the best fan in the world' stance. It just makes you look like a cunt.

I'm not but kyro is basically being a tit because it wasn't a Man U player that won it.

Yeah yeah cool James.

Seriously, theres more to his game than just passion and commitment. He has alot of technique as well but people just ignore it cause of the "He must be shit because West Ham are pants" card.

No.

Was Matt Le Tissier shite because he played for Southampton all his career? No.

Parker isn't just a defensive mid, he is great at keeping the ball. Don't see many players turn like him nevermind defensive mids doing that.

To be honest, he's alright.. but I don't like him and think he's overrated.

Rooney is overrated and a thug but you worship him.

Rooney is brilliant and I'm biased.

Nice to see him get an award. Very good player.

Parker is obviously a media favorite, and while I don't think he's had a better season than a number of players, in some cases these individual awards goes to a player who's done brilliantly on a bad team (based on the fact that a lot of people assume it's easier to play on a good team -- different argument though) and I can agree with that. While I wouldnt pick Parker myself because I would give this award to the best player, I understand the reasoning behind it and it's less of a disgrace than Bale winning PotY and Nani not even being nominated.

Even though he's overrated, I'm gladding he's not playing tomorrow.
