[The Left Side]

Well done Alan, got my MOTM yesterday.

[Toronto Villa]

there's something so completely bizarre about the whole thing though isn't there. There is no animosity towards Lambert whatsoever. Hutton has publicly stated how much Lambert supported him through it all. And out of all of this he has not only returned, he isn't the clumsy buffoon we all took him for under TSM, and he is running away with our POY vote. He has been the consummate professional and proving beyond a doubt he is the player Spurs spent a lot of money on when they bought him from Rangers.

I know.  And I just love it.  Such a great turn around, if he keeps it up I can see him becoming a real cult hero for the Holt.  Can't praise him enough in my book and I really hope he keeps it going.

[Jon Crofts]

You're right there is something quite bizarre about it all, it still begs the question who's idea was the whole bomb squad thing though.  I'm beginning to think it wasn't Lambert.

[Villa in Denmark]

After all the trials and tribulations, finally something positive from McLeish's year at the helm, because I can't think of anything else.

I'm trying to think if anyone else has managed to turn around being widely vilified in the way he was under McLeish to cult hero this season.  Regardless, well done to Hutton. It's a pleasure to see a professional footballer worthy of the name professional.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

They should cancel the vote for PFA player of the year and give it to him, because I doubt there's a better example of professionalism in the English game.

But he doesn't play for Chelsea!
(Yet?)

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

And he took that goal so well - could easily have whacked it to the far post (as my mate said "What would Weimann have done in that position?") - but he showed composure, took a glance and slotted it inside the near post perfectly.

Am extremely pleased for him.
He deserves any accolades he receives for his professional approach to the mess and to how he has applied himself this season.
My MOTM too.
Not for the first time this season!

[Nastylee]

Never understood the attitude towards Hutton and I believe the negativity was down to his association with McLeish. He was played in some outrageous positions in a team that was on the slide. He also got vilified for that challenge when any other player doing a job on a player in a locla derby would normally gain cult status instantly. I think the fans wrote him off harshly and now some are being forced to admit they're clueless twats.

Is there really any need for the last bit? Especially when you've called him average in the past.

Holt? Holt?!
There are threats to rename the Holte and you've already done it!!
You'd better proof read 'your book', young man!

[WestleyArmsAV]

Completely out of order calling him average, outrageous.

[Mister E]

Completely out of order calling him average, outrageous.

Youre right: when he first arrived he was far below average and very poor value for the money we paid.
His dignity, re-modelled game and game-focus now are really impressive.

[Dave]

Konchesky has had his red card overturned. Which probably isn't unreasonable, but doesn't that now mean that Hutton has been punished for that incident more severely?

Which if so I would say IS unreasonable.

Not really, it means that the FA have realised the ref made a mistake in the red and a yellow for both players sufficed, which is perfectly reasonable.

[Clampy]

I thought he was woeful in his first season and let's face it, not many would have cared too much had he been sold. He's done well to stick with it though and this season he's been much better. Let's hope he can keep it going.
