I’m pleased to announced that—thanks in part to readers just like you—we came home with a pretty decent haul from the inaugural EPL Awards sponsored by EPL Talk. Specifically, we won the People’s Choice award for Best EPL Blogger (me), and the Editor’s Choice awards for Best EPL Blogger (still me) and Best EPL Blog (this blog). We failed, however, to figure in the race for Best EPL Goalkeeper (Thomas Sørensen of Stoke City and Denmark). Next year, I guess.
Many thanks to everyone at EPL Talk, and unsafe levels of “super-thanks” to all of you who voted. Let me know if you ever need someone to administer medicine to your cat while you’re off parasailing in Antigua. (I could also take in your newspapers so that thieves will not know you are gone.)

My vote wasn’t for you Brian ,it was for Vandal-prone.
Very deserved, congrats!
Congrats Brian, well deserved. Hard luck on losing out to Sorensen. Thought you had that one in the bag.
I tried to vote for Vandal-prone and attempted to nominate his MLS draft piece for “timeless obra maestra for all echelons of humanity,” but that category apparently does not exist. But congrats anyway
I think the judgment of the voting body was seriously called into question when they selected Newcastle as the most boring team. Contgratulations nonetheless.
brian, how on god’s green earth did you lose best defender to abdoulaye faye?
Dude, congrats! I didn’t vote for you because of your writing skill, or your football knowledge. I voted for you because I decided to assume that doing so would force you to take care of my cat next week. I’m very happy to see my absurd leap of faith vindicated.
Well deserved.
I voted for you! I feel, as a team, we have all accomplished a lot 😀
But.. Its mainly you who has accomplished anything, Im just poncing some of your glory!
The system works.
Dare I say it – Phillips 2012. You know, if you need a running mate or anything…
Congrats Brian, well deserved. Always enjoy reading your blog and I’m loving the look of it lately too.
