We’ve all enjoyed yet another exciting top flight season, well perhaps not all of us (Derby, Birmingham and Reading fans). But the rest of us have knocked back a Premier League cocktail of excitement, thrills, skills, goals, sulks, celebrations, foreign owners, moaning and outrageous refereeing decisions…ahhhh tastes good!

You can forget your League titles, your FA and Carling Cups, your PFA awards or LMA awards. We at the New Football Pools have got together and voted for our very own winners from the 2007/08 Premier League season.

Let’s meet the lucky winners of The New Football Pools End of Season Awards…

The Butcher than Pat Butcher Award

And the winner is…Liverpool

Awash with luscious locks, it’s the long haired lovers of Liverpool - Torres, Benayoun and Lucas - who give the Reds their first trophy of the 2007/08 season. Lengthy showers, pricey water bills and swopsies on hairbands and scrunchies have been a common occurance at Anfield this season since the arrival of this bunch of manly beauties.

It doesn’t matter though because they’re worth it!

The Nicest Threads Award

And the winner is…Steve “sex bomb in blue” Bruce

Straight off the catwalk…from a decade ago, Brucie Baby wouldn’t look out of place in the London Stock Exchange.

Forget Steve McClaren’s Wally with a Brolly, our winner for “Best Dressed” is by far is Steve Bruce: Looking buff with those mismatch cuffs.

The Role Model of the Year

And the award goes to…William “the whinger” Gallas

One of your team mates suffers a horrific injury; the others are clearly distressed at the sight of it so your captain spits his dummy, stomps on some banners and sprints the length of the pitch in protest to a penalty. Captain credentials if ever we heard!

The Greg Louganis Award for Diving

And the winner is…Didier ‘the Dive Bomber’ Drogba

There were a few contenders for this award but only one man consistently performs triple half-pikes with a half twist every weekend. The man-mountain from the Ivory Coast has a gift, a gift for leaping in the air at every physical touch from any opposition player. He cares not for their size or if they actually catch him with a flailing boot or if they don’t. This modern day jack in the box will always spring into life if he feels a slight breeze around his ankles. His athleticism is a delight to behold and therefore we award him a 9.9 from the New Football Pools Awards panel.

The Solid as a Rock Award

And the award goes to…Titus “Coco the Clown” Bramble

The Wigan defender has been extremely consistent this season…consistently poor. Titus has proved that a Leopard doesn’t change its clumsy spots as he’s picked up where he left off at Newcastle by scaring the hell out of Latics fans every time the ball goes near him. Congratulations!

The Best Striking Partnership Award

And the award goes to…Arsenal’s Emmanuel Adebayor and Nicklas Bendtner

The best striking partnerships often have a unique telepathic understanding of each other’s games. Keegan and Toshack had it, so did Beardsley and Lineker. Well in this case only one of the pair decided to use his head…Ade-butt-more. The best striking partnership award literally has to go to the Arsenal pair whose display in the Carling Cup semi-final 2ng leg hammering at White Hart Lane revealed they perhaps aren’t the best of buddies.

The Jose Mourinho Larger than Life Personality Award:

And the winner is…Avram ‘can’t shut him up’ Grant

We didn’t think anyone could replace Jose Mourinho’s larger than life personality…we were wrong! Avram ‘laugh a minute’ Grant has won over all his critics with his charm, humour and dress sense. The suave Israeli has taken Jose’s mantle as the one for the ladies and even a vow of silence when miming to the Sky cameras after the Everton away match couldn’t stop the charmer winning this award…the big smoothy!

The Walton’s Happy Family Award

And the award goes to…Liverpool

So much has happened here on Walton’s mountain. A couple of rich uncles joined the Anfield tribe last summer with promises of a wealthy inheritance. But life at Liverpool soon grew sour as Rafa “john boy” Benitez failed to live up to the expectations of his uncle’s. They tried to bring in an understudy but the rest of the family rebelled and now the uncles aren’t even talking to each other anymore. Tune in next week for the next exciting instalment of Angst at Anfield!

The Hindsight Award for Decision Making

And the winner is…Paul ‘What were you Thinking’ Jewell

There was a close run contest for this award between Paul Jewell and the Birmingham board (for the departure of Steve Bruce) but it was the Derby manager who just managed to edge it. His decision to turn down his former club Wigan’s advances where he was loved and respected to join the rock bottom relegation fodder Rams could only have been a cry for help. After all, it was a career breaking decision tantamount to self-harming. After a run of 24 League games without a win, 19 defeats, just 5 points, a total of 56 goals conceded and many an angry weekend press conference - There could be only one winner.

So these are our 2007/08 Premier League Awards BUT are there any categories you’d like to have seen added? Let’s have your views on just who should have won what!
