Brilliant article. How he didn't get in the team of the season is beyond me!

Everyone seemed to agree too, very odd. Cahill has had a lot of problems this season, hell he's even been pushed out of Chelsea by Zouma...can't even get in his own team, let alone the PFA TOTS!

Absolutely. Disgraceful that Jose Fonte baby isn't in that team. But what a living legend he has been and continues to be for us.

Nice article for recognition, however I don't like this bit:

 

Being sold for £1.2m by Crystal Palace to then-League One Southampton in 2010, Fonte would have been forgiven for thinking his career was on the dwindle.

 

I think he was highly rated at Palace and he was in a team that was on course for the playoffs. His move to us was because Palace were strapped and we paid him a lot of money. He was a bit of coup for us, rather than us being someone who he had to turn to because his career was on the downslide.
