2007/2008 season Jav Arsenal Awards

I have to say that many people expect the final balance of the season, that I will give, but today is the time for the recognition; the best and the worst, so enjoy. I know SOME bloggers will eventually copy my idea saying "alluding" to "my friend" so if you see any other awards of the year similar to mine you know who did it first (the IFFHS hahahaha) and who copied it. Of course many sites have been doing this a long time but when I refer to SOMEONE, that someone will now. I have seen The Cannon review and it may seem that we both agreed, although some obvious in some remarks. Happy birthday for The Cannon. Also an overall balance by each position is provided.


Best Young Player of the Season
Due to the average of age in the team I decided to make an U-19 account.

Theo Walcott: It is true that the beginning of the season did cost him a lot but when he found his pace the toll of goals increased, covering a position that needed refreshment, and certainly provided the final step he needed; confidence.

Worst Young Player of the Season

Justin Hoyte: It is clear that from the start the youngster was eager in showing himself in the first team, but the appearance of Bacary Sagana fainted the English any chance to at least glimpse Wenger. It is true that his couple of chances were shadowed by Traore's or Clichy's but he has to get out of the club immediately. He has no talent and neither the capacity to play in such a difficult position with the prowess of Sagna

Best Goal of the Season
1-AC Milan 0-1 Arsenal by Cesc Fabregas
The turning point in the Gunners career towards European challenge that ended abruptly in the North.

2-Arsenal 2-1 Tottenham by Nicklas Bendtner
The equalizer that shocked Spurs, even when the Dane was entering the pitch and the first touch on the ball.

3-Liverpool 4-2 Arsenal by Emmanuel Adebayor
The terrific, almost poetical and speedy run that Theo Walcott made was worth the semis, but...


Best Match of the Season
1-Bolton 2-3 (EPL)
A heart-breaking resurging from the bottoms saw the best spirit of the team

2-AC Milan 0-2 Arsenal (UCL)The last grasp to European glory was conceded through a nerve-wrecking enjoyable match.

3-Man Utd 2-1 Arsenal
Although the final whistle shattered all the hopes of a title, the game was nerve-cracking, full of play and a first-class worth game

Best Young Revelation
1-Nacer Barazite
2-Armand Traore
3-Nicklas Bendtner

Best Revelation
1-Bacary Sagna
2-Lukas Fabianski
3-Mathieu Flamini

Injured player of the Season
I obviously will not mention Eduardo for respect but this award is certainly for the players whose season was shadowed by the lack of will to overcome injures and mismanagment by own players. These are the nurse favorites.
1-Tomas Rosicky
2-Nieves Denilson
3-Robin van Persie

Worst Player of the Season
1-Justin Hoyte
2-Gilberto Silva
3-Emmanuel Eboué

Best Player of the Season
1-Emmanuel Adebayor
2-Francesc Fabregas
3-Bacary Sagna

Players to Watch*
Defense: Armand Trore and maybe the inclusion of Nordveit. Surely Sagna and Clichy will develop more throughout the season, regarding what happens at EURO.
Midfield: Certainly Cesc but the replacement for Mathieu Flamini, Kieran Gibbs and Fran Merida final jump to first team should be the main attractions. The new youngster from Cardiff, Aaron Ramsey should be a look too.
Forward: Obviously Theo's development. Nicklas future and above all Carlos Vela and his inclusion to English Football as well as young starlet Nacer Barazite.

*A deeper lowdown on Arsenal young players, from all specters ,can be seen in, a really tremend resource on all of our youngsters inland and abroad.

Best Goalkeeper: Manuel Almunia
Best Defender: Bacary Sagna
Best Midfielder: Francesc Fabregas
