Steven Gerrard nominated as the PFA Football of the Year. Captain of liverpool was one of the six contenders announced yesterday. However, do you think it is fair to have five contenders from Manchester United and only one player represent the rest of league.

Daily Telegraph reported, “Ferguson’s side have already won the Carling Cup and still lead the league. But their current form is shaky and they could find themselves eliminated from the Champions League and the FA Cup by the beginning of next week. ”

Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Edwin van der Sar are nominated, along with Cristiano Ronaldo, who could become the first player to win three times in succession.

The voting process for PFA player of the year is interesting. The voting process goes as follows: ballots are sent out to each club’s PFA representative and once all his team-mates have voted he sends the ballots on to the scrutineers. You are not allowed to vote for your team-mates and if you don’t vote, your team-mates will not be eligible to win. This means the vote is fairly comprehensive, especially as PFA membership is pretty much 100 per cent.

Gerrard could benefit from a split vote for United players as David Ginola did during the 1999 treble-winning season, a fact which still irritates Sir Alex Ferguson.
