Chelsea overcame their largest remaining title obstacle on Sunday, a comfortable 2-0 win at Anfield where an unfortunate assist from Steven Gerrard helped officially eliminate Liverpool’s chances of returning to Champions League. On this edition of the EPL Talk podcast, myself, Laurence McKenna and Kartik Krishnaiyer review the weekend that was in the Premiership, a weekend that featured Manchester City eliminating Aston Villa from the race for fourth place, beating the Villans 3-1 on Saturday.
Question of the Week
In the show’s second segment, the panel debates the choices the Football Writer’s Association and Professional Footballers Association made concerning their awards. Wayne Rooney won each association’s player of the year, a choice one of the show’s panelists thought erroneous.
Who would have been your choice for player of the season? Did you find similar faults with the PFA’s choices for young player, goalkeeper and team that the EPL Talk pundits expressed?
Give you feedback, below, and give us something to talk about on this week’s weekend preview show.
