Brilliant 
VVD was second as well.
19 players received votes for Footballer of the Year from Football Writersā Association members. Mo Salah deservedly won with 90% of votes cast by @theofficialfwa 900+ members, ābiggest winning margin this centuryā. Top 4: 1 Salah #LFC; 2 Van Dijk LFC; 3 Isak #NUFC; 4 Rice #AFC.

Not every voter is a neutral.

Yeah there was a prick campaigning for Penandes.
Except for Van Dijk.

Salah for LāEquipe:
āI scored a lot (44 goals in my first season), and then Sadio told himself it was his turn to score more too. Yes, there was tension with Sadio. But look, we remained professional until the end, and I donāt think it affected the team. Itās natural for someone to want more, and I understand that - heās a competitor. Off the pitch, we werenāt very close, but we always respected each other.ā
āAs for the comments about me being selfish? I donāt care. People have the right to think what they want - thatās their business. But I invite everyone to notice that the player who provided the most assists to Mane was me (18 assists). People can look at the facts, but clearly, itās easier to throw out statements like that - they make big headlines.ā
Interesting that he gave LāEquipe an interview.
What, to explain to PSG fans and the French why he decided to stay here?

It feels like there ought to be more context to that? Sounds like he was asked a rather provocative question from the tone of his reply.

Great interview.
Interesting that he made it clear he would only commit to a two year deal and the club wanted a longer deal. Also he sees himself playing to 39/40.
Also the end 
(i wont spoil it)
Fascinating because I think all the reporting around it was the other way around?
I thought Salah was just joking about the club wanting more.
This is something Gary Neville does well. His expert analysis is not so good. But he is good at interviewās actually (though I prefer Lineker in that role too).

Well heās interviewing a fellow pro so the rapport is easier. Wonder how heād go interviewing non footballers. Lineker is a level above.

Salah rarely gives interviews, but when he does, heās pretty chatty and open. Doesnāt always say the obvious answers or what peoole want to hear, even part of the Liverpool public. Maybe the club prefers when heās silent! I liked a few of those answers, especially at the start with what should be the ambition/standard at this football club. Hopefully more players of that same mentality. And a cheeky little dig at Dom at the end.

Dom is the new Lovren.
That chance on Monday to make it 1-3 and possibly kill the gameā¦
Please Mo, right foot.
