RIO FERDINAND..

 DM -Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has called for an overhaul of the Professional Footballers' Association's 'flawed' Player of the Year voting system. Tottenham forward Gareth Bale scooped both the main award and young player honour last month, before adding the Football Writers' prize as well. For the prestigious FWA honour, members could vote virtually until the result was confirmed. Yet the players have to vote much earlier, which Ferdinand feels leads to an inadequate conclusion. 'The problem with the PFA awards is that the voting system is flawed,' Ferdinand told manutd.com. 'There's so much technology at hand that you could do it over an iPad and just say 'bang, bang, bang' at the end of the season. 'I am not just being biased but if it was voted for today Robin van Persie would win it by a country mile. But it was voted for by the players in late February or March. Gareth Bale is a worthy winner, but for me it isn't a true reflection of the season.'

"True reflection of the season". RVP scores one league goal between January 30th and April 16th. United lose one game in that stretch. During the same stretch, Gareth Bale had eight goals and scored in every game but two. The result of those two games? Spurs losses. You tell me which player was more valuable you...I honestly couldn't think of a word off the top of my head so figured any of the below words would work to describe him.
