WHO Awards 2008/09
Vinny 14 Jun 2009

Over the last few weeks you have been voting for your best and worst of the season and here are the results from the 3rd WHO Awards.

We have had a really good response and many of you have voted.

WHO HAMMER OF THE YEAR

Hérita Ilunga 26%
Matty Upson 22%
Rob Green 15%
Valon Behrami 11%
Scott Parker 9%
Carlton Cole 7%

Herita Ilunga is your Hammer of the year for 2008/09. The left back was brought in on loan from Toulouse although has since signed on a permanent basis

Ilunga has shown good form throughout the season and his strength and positional sense has made everyone sit up and take notice.

With Scott Parker winning the official award and Robert Green coming in as runner up it was a bit of a surprise that the people of WHO have decided that Ilunga and Upson were the best players of the season, but I believe it is fully deserved.

Previous Winners
2006/07 - Carlos Tevez
2007/08 - Robert Green

YOUNG HAMMER OF THE YEAR

Jack Collison 68%
James Tomkins 24%
Junior Stanislas 4%
Mark Noble 3%
Freddie Sears 1%

As the fans did not get the chance to vote for this award in the official awards this poll proved popular as Jack Collison won by some way.

It was not too much of a shock that Collison would win this as he has been terrific this season. Collison has a lot of talent and I still think he has much more potential to fulfil. He is going to be a big player for us next season.

WORST PLAYER OF THE SEASON

Julien Faubert 64%
David Di Michele 23%
Diego Tristan 7%
Luis Boa Morte 4%
James Collins 2%

Julien Faubert was the clear winner of award as the French winger has gone from an exciting signing to a player most would be happy never to see play for the club again.

A loan spell at Real Madrid of all places does not seem to have gone all that well and a return to West Ham looks likely unless someone comes in with a decent offer for a player who cost us a fair amount.

Previous Winners
2006/07 - Nigel Quashie
2007/08 - Henri Camera

GAME OF THE SEASON

Portsmouth (a) 4-1 37%
Blackburn (h) 4-1 13%
Hull City (h) 2-0 12%
Newcastle (h) 3-1 12%
Chelsea (a) 1-1 11%
Wigan (a) 1-0 9%
Manchester City (h) 1-0 4%
Middlesbrough (h) 2-1 1%

The boxing day destruction of Portsmouth at Fratton Park is your favourite game of the season. Pompey opened the scoring early on but it didn't take long for Jack Collison to get us back into the game.

Despite Portsmouth having a number of chances we managed to score three second half goals which all came on the counter attack.

Carlton Cole scored a tap in to put us in the lead and then a superb double from the man of the match Craig Bellamy secured the win which really kick started our season.

Match Report - http://www.westhamonline.net/article.php?3216653

Previous Winners
2006/07 - Manchester United (a) 1-0
2007/08 - Manchester United (h) 2-1

WORST GAME OF THE SEASON

Tottenham (h) 0-2 50%
Middlesbrough (a) (cup) 0-2 26%
West Brom (h) 0-0 9%
Manchester City (a) 0-3 6%
Liverpool (h) 0-3 5%
Watford (a) 0-1 3%

Another clear winner here with a game against Tottenham winning the worst game of the season for the second year running.

Losing to Spurs is never a good thing but this game was worse simply because we never looked like beating a side who were struggling in the league at the time. Having Harry Redknapp as their manager didn't help either.

Match Report - http://www.westhamonline.net/article.php?3174997

Interesting to note that a defeat in a cup competition to a lower league side (Watford) does not rate as high on the worst game stakes as a 0-0 draw against West Brom.

Previous Winners
2006/07 - Reading (a) 0-6
2007/08 - Tottenham Hotspur (a) 0-4

GOAL OF THE SEASON

Cole vs Wigan (a) 71%
Kovac vs Everton (a) 6%
Cole vs Newcastle (a) 4%

There was little point in even doing this poll as the winner was always clear. This goal was fantastic and by far our best goal of the season.

Here is the goal - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrqfj0VuCy8

Previous Winners
2006/07 - Noble vs Bolton (h)
2007/08 - Ashton vs Manchester United (a)

PERSON I WOULD MOST LIKE TO SEE WRESTLE A HUNGRY TIGER

Kevin McCabe 35%
Harry Redknapp 17%
Frank Lampard 14%
Neil Warnock 14%
Oliver Holt 8%
John Terry 5%
Craig Bellamy 3%
Ian McGarry 2%

Kevin McCabe the Sheffield United chairman is your cunt of the season and it is an award he should have won for the last couple of seasons.

There isn't really too much more to add other than his Cunt status will remain for quite some time.

Previous Winners
2006/07 - Dave Whelan
2007/08 - John Terry

Thank you to everyone who voted. The response was excellent.

Have a great summer.
