Roo favourite for top award


The nominees for the PFA Player of the Year have been announced and unsurprisingly Wayne Rooney has been installed as the overwhelming favourite to land the coveted prize. The Manchester United hitman, was joined by fellow EPL aces Cesc Fabregas, Didier Drogba and Carlos Tevez on the short-list announced on Thursday. But with a whopping 34 goals for Manchester United, the England international looks most likely to walk away with the prize. If he does, it will be the fourth consecutive season that it has gone to a Manchester United player, following on from Ryan Giggs last year, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who was player of the year in the two seasons before that. But let’s not forget the other players, with Fabregas almost single-handedly holding together Arsenal’s title challenge and Tevez and Drogba weighing in with a glut of goals for Manchester City and Chelsea respectively!
