End of Year Awards?

With it being the end of the year, every sport supplement worth it's salt is running as many end of year awards as possible.
Why look forward to a new year when there's an old one to look back at? Why not remind everyone who cocked up of how spectacularly badly they did?

Guardian Unlimited's 'The Fiver' included such desirable awards as ''The Gordon Brown award for the most hopeless promotyion of a No. 2 to a senior position'' (Steve Mclaren if there was anyone wondering) and the equally inauspicious ''Joey Barton award for services to Football literature''.

Meanwhile, BBC sport's 'Robbo' went down the slightly alternative route of giving sporting personalities gifts rather than awards. For poor Scott Carson, from premiership non-entity to national villain in one howler: ''some empty crisp packets to replace the gloves he used during the first half against Croatia''. How dry.

Well, if everyone else is doing it, why don't I do the same?

The WYA? award for rubbing up the people who pay your wages the wrong way is shared by Rafa Benitez, Jose Mourinho and Sol Campbell. Benitez for waging a public war with his chairmen, Mourinho for something very similar. Campbell possibly shades this, his attack on fans was disturbing. Not because what he said was grossly unfair, in fact, most would agree with him, but at the same time he failed to accept that a number of his fellow professionals shoot themselves, and by association, other footballers, right in the metatarsal.
Happy New Year Joey Barton!
