I'm not suprised to see Giggs in there to be honest as he has played superbly. If he wins, it might be a bit of a sympathy vote as he's never won it before
AFAIK. VDS, I don't agree with, although he had that incredible record of clean sheets, that was down, in part, to a superb defence playing in front of him, he hardly had a save to make! We all know what happened after injuries and suspensions afflicted the back 4.
The biggest surprise for me though was why Fat Frank wasn't included.
For me, though the best player of the season has been Vidic. He is one of the best defenders in the world by a mile. Stevie G would be a close second for me.
