1!
Voted Enrique!
2 StuW // May 8, 2010 at 2:08 PM
I voted Coloccini, as he has silenced the critics from last season, and has become a solid, consistent performer for us in the heart of defence alongside Stevey T
3 The Entertainers // May 8, 2010 at 2:10 PM
Not the most exciting of players, but where would our season have ended if we didnt have Kevin Nolan?
4 Geordie Matriarch // May 8, 2010 at 2:12 PM
I went for Lovenkrands – he cost us nothing, he gritted his teeth and played in a vital game just afer his dad died and scored a goal, and seems a perfect gentleman.
5 boater // May 8, 2010 at 2:14 PM
the Entertainers – EXACTLY. Maybe not the most technically gifted player but without Nolan we’d be in the play offs. How could it be anyone else?
6 Danish_Magpie // May 8, 2010 at 2:17 PM
My opinion:
1. Jonas: Quality, work-rate, importance to the team, and consistency throughout entire season
2. Nolan: Goals. Constant threat and gave us versatility to move between different systems. Fantastic season.
3. Enrique: What a season for ever-present Jose who was part of a very strong left side of the pitch
4. Andy Carroll: Led the line well in his season of regular first team footie. Big threat in the air and was vital ingames where fluid football wasn’t flowing. Lots of goals too.
5. Lovenkrands: Scored many and very important goals. Period.
6. Coloccini: Played well in defense, and has found his feet in England. Very important in keeping the backline pretty tight this season
7. Harper: Clean sheets en masse and gave us leadership and calm at the back. Important figure at the club
8. Routledge: Only came in for part of the season but his pace, skill and creativity gave us another dimension we badly needed – will be vital in PL as well

I honestly had to vote for the Bull, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to look at myself in a mirror with a clean conscience! I part wanted to vote Colo, as he has been very composed all season, and a mall part of me wanted to vote for Simpson as he has been hammered by the fans this season for no apparent reason. Seriously though, if anybody other than Hose or Nolan wins this I will be amazed.
8 dutchy // May 8, 2010 at 2:26 PM
enrique it is; tireless displays all through the year. Last couple of years the player of the season has been a defender despite our (apart from this year) defensive frailties. Weird?
9 dutchy // May 8, 2010 at 2:28 PM
who voted for butt!? why o why?
10 Turkish Magpie // May 8, 2010 at 2:30 PM
I voted for Enrique, never seen a foreigner (apart from maybe Beye) give so much for this club evry game.
On another note, can’t believe knowone has voted for Ameobi, pretty much a goal a game all season and got us off to an amazing start this season!
11 boater // May 8, 2010 at 2:37 PM
Turkish Magpie – true shola got us going at the beginning, but by missing the middle third of the season he can’t really get the overall vote.
I think you guys are voting for our best player with Enrique – which I agree with. But ask yourself, would be champions with kadar at left back for example? Possibly,, certainly in the mix,, where would be without nolan? It doesn’t bear thinking about.
12 Turkish Magpie // May 8, 2010 at 2:37 PM
dutchy- i dont get it either
Beye
Bassong
Possibly Enrique
Defenders as players of the season with our ‘appauling’ record
13 NUFC HOPE // May 8, 2010 at 3:56 PM
Tough decision. For me it was a toss up between enrique, jonas, and lovenkrands. Thought about routledge too. But ended up considering jonas number one because of his creativity on the wing, ability to draw defenders and fouls, set up plays and break down the wing to cross or cut into the middle and beat defenders .
14 wilkyvondooom // May 8, 2010 at 4:25 PM
Its got to be the bull. He’s come on so much in the past 12 months and i’m looking forward to seeing how he copes with the likes of aaron lennon next season
15 andoni // May 8, 2010 at 4:26 PM
Coloccini, honestly one of the players who have developed most
16 seanp // May 8, 2010 at 4:54 PM
Just wanted to spread the word that a similar vote on the club’s official website is being hijacked by the mackems of readytogo.net trying to get Stephen Taylor to win for some reason – seems to be working as well – he currently has 60% of the vote!
17 eltoro // May 8, 2010 at 6:37 PM
Had to be Enrique. He has just been so dominant all season and even though it is of course a weaker league, I think he has proved himself one of the top left backs in the country. Unbeatable one-on-one and more confident by the game in the final third. We played most of the season with no real shape or attacking reliable passing structure to help create chances, and his partnership with Jonas was always the biggest attacking threat.

Its been reported from Toulouse have confirmed that Newcastle representatives are interested in Andre Pierre Gignac. The 24 year old striker. He is a regular goal scorer and would be perfect for our team. Hope its true. Would cost about 7 million out of 15 million.
19 baro // May 8, 2010 at 6:56 PM
By the way did anybody see Blackpool beat Nottingham 2-1?!! I hope Nottingham don’t go up.
I want Cardiff City to go up.
20 andoni // May 8, 2010 at 6:59 PM
Baro, I hope so! He seems a good player for us!
21 baro // May 8, 2010 at 7:07 PM
Andoni
A very, very good player for us!!
22 andoni // May 8, 2010 at 7:07 PM
I don’t mind if Nottingham go up. There’re some good players which i liked.
Morever, if Cardiff City don’t go up we can take Ledley from it
23 baro // May 8, 2010 at 7:09 PM
Ya Ledley would be a awesome player from them and his contract is about to expire. He would be awesome player!! He is like Steven Gerrard.
24 Turkish Magpie // May 8, 2010 at 8:47 PM
Ed- Your polls are brilliant however a slight fault
Butt has 3 votes and 0%, Ameobi has 0 votes and 2%
25 winaldo // May 8, 2010 at 9:49 PM
i vote for Alan smith he was brilliant
26 sirjasontoon // May 8, 2010 at 11:44 PM
Lovenkrands-Amazing Attitude,Proper Gent.
Deserves the number 9 shirt way ahead of Carroll.
27 henok // May 9, 2010 at 9:21 AM
no
1 must go to Nolan…he improve and did the unexpected scored a lot of goals
2nd Carroll..have good assists and a lot of headed goals
3rd Colo…i say he deserves it
4th Jose…improved, but can wait until he messes up in the EPL
5th loven i like him very good but i bet he will score more goals than Carroll next year
my top list players
6th Danny boy…he would have been my first if he started all the games but i think he is going to get next years player of the year
1st “BEST” the worst player since luque and i just want to say “fuck u best
2nd simpson…useless and i have to say he can learn a thing or two if he sees dany alaves, Rafael or even Hilbert
3rd Jonas i know all of u see the positive runs but i see the whole game in general first he cant pass the call straight. second, can only play with Jose if we loss him with injury we r fucked
4th butt i didnt know what the hell he was doing the whole season
5th Rayn Taylor ..i like him but he had a bad season cause of our genius coach
