Dejan Lovren Has Saints Fans Vote For Liverpool Player Of The Year
Wednesday, 15th Apr 2015 13:25

Liverpool FC's website has seen an influx of votes for a surprising choice for their player of the year 2015.

Its fair to say that Dejan Lovren is not the most popular man on Merseyside, well at least not in the red half of it, the truth is he was never going to be a player that Liverpool fans would truly take to their hearts, many of them read straight through him with his behaviour towards Saints last summer not to mention his infamous "My heads already at Liverpool" exclamation.

That marked him out as a wrong un to many Liverpool supporters and their opinion wasn't changed by a series of inept performances in a Liverpool shirt.

However not all of Lovren's games at Anfield have been poor as shown in the picture accompanying this article when he headed the winner for Saints last season a goal that ultimately contributed greatly to Liverpool's failure to win the title.

Now Saints fans are finally getting their chance to show their appreciation for Lovren and his place amongst the early pacemakers for Liverpool player of the season is being attributed to Saints supporters who are going to the official Liverpool FC website and registering their vote, which is surprisingly easy to do as it is open to everyone.

However Lovren is facing stiff competition from Mario Ballotelli who is being boosted by the votes of Arsenal and Manchester United fans.

Media coverage of what is happening is meaning that the Liverpool website is being overloaded and it is very difficult to actually get through and vote at present as supporters of other clubs join in the fun.

Saints supporters are sure to be back on the site though on April 27th when voting opens for Performance of the season when Lovren's penalty miss in Instanbul brought much glee in the Southampton area, for those who missed it the first time around, the ball is due to pass over Southern England on April 29th at 10pm and it should be visible to the naked eye if it is a cloudless night.

Sadly I think the sheer volume of United fans will ensure that Ballotelli will pick up the trophy which is a shame for Lovren as im sure in his mind the trophy is already in the cabinet.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
