LSTD Award show season 8

21:04 Hello and welcome to a big night of awards, we have a lot to look forward to, starting with the arrival of our guests, they are expected anytime soon. As they arrive in their dribs and drabs we will talk you through a season of thrills.

21:10 Unsurprisingly its Ludy first to show up with his wife, seems like the private jet has served the Villa manager well tonight...

A big season for Ludy as he and his lovely new bride tied the knot. On the footballing front though it was somewhat disappointing as his Villa side wondered aimlessly through the season to a 7th place finish, not what was predicted for a very strong Villa side, especially one that was using Rengade's excellently thought out tactics.

21:12 Wilshere is next to arrive, 2nd as usual.

Unfortunately the Arsenal manager refused interviews tonight.

21:15 Fan and Renegade have showed up together this year, no dates for either of the two tonight, nae luck across the border it seems.

The two come off the back of fantastic seasons though, Fan finally getting his hands on the league trophy in what turned out to be a stroll for him and his side, even he will be hoping someone can give him a bit of a run for his money next season, anything to avoid boredom in his old age. Renegade meanwhile guided his Leicester side to a 4th place finish, pipping Portsmouth on the final day, a somewhat unexpected result but it only farther adds to his high ratings. Both will be hoping for a successful awards evening.

21:19 Here's Tino!

Its a big entrance from everyones favourite Italian as he stops to give the cameras a big smile, as well as a cheeky wink to one busty lady waiting by the red carpet. Tino seems to have high hopes for a player or two from his Wolves side getting in the Young team of the season, this despite their relatively quiet season. Where even is Wolverhampton?

21:24 Next up its Welshy! His side began to develop nicely as the season wore on, future title contenders? Maybe. He stops to give us an interview but all we could get from him was an Über Deutschland! If you say so Welshy, if you say so.

21:26 Its Fud up next, it seems like a second relegation in two seasons has hurt the Tottenham manager...

Don't think he realises he already has employment.....

His plus one is unsurprisingly N'Golo Kante, the two have become inseparable, the handcuffs might have something to do with that.

21:29 Tranq, Ska and Rooney have finally arrived....

It appears that Nadz has driven them to the show, although neither seem to realise his Birmingham's manager, or that Birmingham are even in the league. SKA is the one to watch out for here, other than being a contender for the Manager of the Season award, he's got a history of theft(look at the EL last season), alongside his fellow manager and Liverpool supporter Tranq, everyone should be warned to keep hold of their valuables.

21:32 Its the man of the hour, LSTD has arrived, with two dates would you believe, it seems his year of travelling has done him wonders...

Everyones favourite weather girl on his left arm....http://www.beembee.com/pin/tag/yanet-garcia/

And on his right, Spain's rising film star..http://spanish.fansshare.com/gallery/photos/15252047/days-looks-clara-lago/?displaying

Well he had to get over a season of watching Nemanja Matic somehow, it seems he's found his way.

21:35 Just waiting for JYAF now, not sure if anyone actually invited him but LSTD has gone to the toilet prior to his opening speech so we have time...

21:41 LSTD has finished at the toilet and just in time, JYAF has turned up, better late than never! He walks out to a bit of the Who
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdLIerfXuZ4

Who are you indeed.

21:43 Without farther deal the show gets on the road with a speech from LSTD..."I am delighted to be hear in front of all of you today to accept my award for best manager, it's been a very good season, a very competitive league, but i knew with players like Griezmann that managing this team would be easy, all credit goes to the players, apart from the 99% of credit that goes to me. Fan won the league but finishing third was always going to be the bigger achievement, any one who argues otherwise is just wrong."

Well there you go, think those girls have gone straight to his head. Time to kick on with the awards and as always we start with the wooden spoon, who can take this infamous prize away from the departed Rex?

21:48 This award was voted by all of you manager sat in the crowd tonight, no one really wants it, someone has to take it. In 3rd place is Tino, congratulations on not even winning this award. In 2nd place, despite not receiving a vote from main rival LSTD, its Fan. Fan moans constantly, claiming the whole world is against him, yet when he sees managers do it in real life, he claims they are fud's. Good going fan. That means in 1st place and undoubtedly deserving of such an accolade, Ludy. This is a manager who once felt a CM duo of Hamsik and Yaya Toure was a good idea, that alone makes him worthy of the wooden spoon. At least this is one spoon that will be getting a fancy ride home.

21:51 Its at this moment we'd like to give a special mention to Will Grigg. Just because.

21:53 Continuing on with the pointless awards that are basically just stalling us all from finding out who has won the ones we care about...Best Argument of the season! Unfortunately this year the league has become soft, we think this might be Welsh's fault, he brings too much niceness to the league, impossible to dislike the guy and now all we have left is constant moaning from Fan and Renegade, you guys can enjoy your award together chumps.

21:55 Likewise Worst deal of the season award is just another waste of time, so this year it gives us a chance to say something bad about Welshy, the plonker. Having owned Tah at the start of the season he decided to sell him, little did he know Tah would go on to become a converted Centre Back, forcing Welshy to resign him in exchange for his standout performer, Luciano Vietto. He had both at the start of the campaign

21:57 Biggest flop of the season then brings us to a close with our dishing of the dirt. Radamel Falcao's career hit rock bottom this season, having been forced out of Real Madrid in favour of an average Italian, he was then sold to Everton for just £1m, ouch. To make things worse he didn't last long there either, he takes 3rd. The shame of being worse than Falcao but not being bad enough to win an award, 2nd place goes to Memphis Depay, despite playing for the best team in the league, he simply failed to impress on his debut season, Fan has been trying to sell him ever since the title was sewn up. Ladies and Gentleman, your flop of the season, joining one of his managers in being rubbish, Yaya Toure. The big Ivorian has been passed around like that jumper your nan knitted you for Christmas. No one wants him, no one wants you to know they don't want him.

22:03 So we move on to the more positive awards, but still ones we dont really care about so lets try not to waste time...

The most improved team of the season, last year won by West Brom despite their relegation, Fud's Bournemouth, also relegated, are trying to achieve the same feat. In 3rd place SKA's Stoke City, who just missed out on european season this season, despite being seen as relegation candidates at the start. In 2nd place, meaning Fud can't hold on to this award, Bournemouth. Once again Fud showed an ability to improve a team in the transfer market and still get them relegated, a feat in itself. The winner though, and undoubtedly the shock team of the season Leicester City. Congratulations to Renegade, his work in the transfer market has transformed his side into one that cemented top 4 and has been labelled as a potential title challenger next season.

22:08 Following the most improved team, who are your most improved players? In 3rd pace Antoine Griezmann. He was already world class, it is good to see you guys have now acknowledged his place in the world's top 5 players, Neymar who? In 2nd place Luciano Vietto. This gives us all another chance just to laugh at Welshy and remind him the striker he sold scored 17 goals for him last season. The winner though, N'Golo Kante, everyone's most coveted signing this summer, he won't be going anywhere though unless you can give Fud Ronaldo and an improvement to his defence.

22:11 So we've seen the most improved team and the player, what about the manager? In 3rd place, despite his awful transfer dealings, Welshy, he might have won this had he not sold Vietto for a player he already had! In second place, SKA, he deserves a lot of credit for his work at Stoke and despite his love of boring midfielders, he is quite the tactician these days. Your winner though, despite yet another relegation, Fud Who knows, if he can keep winning this award, he might eventually keep his side in the league.

22:14 Finally an award someone cares about, having beaten LSTD for 1st last season by a margin of two points, Renegade will be look to hold on to his crown. In 3rd place, sharing the award, its two new entries Ska and Welshy, Welshy favouring the more exciting approach, SKA the dull workman like approach, both equally effective this season.

That means in second place, beaten out by just one point.....LSTD, meaning that Renegade retains his status as the master tactician. Can he and LSTD be matched next season?

22:20 We now move on to the first of the awards to have a nominees list, we've finally made it guys. There were 8 great names to chose from for this accolade but only one could take it away. In 3rd place Henrikh Mkhitarayan, whom we can only assume has got this far in the award as he provides some flair to an otherwise boring Stoke midfield. In 2nd place Robert Lewandowski who joined Portsmouth part way through the season, helping them to miss out on Champions League, whilst his previous club won the competition itself, congrats Robert. The winner of the award....Sergio Busquets. He joined Leicester early doors and became the key member of Renegade's revolution, earning himself a big move to the Champions.

22:23 Its now time to find out who surprised you this season...In 3rd place Toby Alderwiereld, a constant in Southampton's back 5, he kept was let down by his strikers, with Southampton relegated despite the 6th best Goals conceded record in the league. In 2nd place Casemiro who established himself as a key player for Arsenal under Fud. The winner though, claiming his second award of the night N'Golo Kante, theres not much more we can say about this guy, he just runs and runs, he's become a superstar.

22:26 Its that time of the night where we take a moment to honour an integral member of the league. On stage now we have Arturo Vidal, here to present his former manager with an LSTD League Lifetime Achievement Award. Everyone put your hands together for Fan. The Chelsea manager, whilst concentrating on storming to his first league title, has also now spent 7 seasons in the league, the 2nd longest time of any manager and has become the glue that holds everything together. Thanks Fan

22:31 We now go on to the Young player of the season. In a league synonymous with a love for younger generations competition this season was more fierce than Adam Johnson's inmates. In 3rd place Raphael Varane, he had to take a step back from Chelsea to re-establish himself, but his move to Arsenal has done him wonders and he has since got his dream move to Portsmouth. In 2nd place, Philippe Coutinho. It's debatable as to whether this guy is even young anymore but rules are rules, the crafty Brazilian is your 2nd place. The winner, knocking Paul Pogba off his perch is.....Paul Pogba. Last season Wilshere stood up in front of you at the awards and told you all he doubts Fan will ever sell him, i echo those thoughts.

22:35 Joining Paul Pogba in your young team of the season...*Tino hides head behind his hands*....In goal Jan Oblak. He is protected by a back 4 of Sime Vrsaljko, Raphael Varane, Aymeric Laporte, Ricardo Rodriguez. The midfield consists of Kingsley Coman, Eric Dier, Paul Pogba, Neymar da Silva. The fire power comes from Paulo Dybala and Harry Kane.

22:39 Next up its your player of the season...we can tell you that Cristiano Ronaldo has just missed out on the top three, the winner of the last two seasons player award will not claim his treble....

BUT FIRST....

a musical interlude....

22:44 Thanks for that....So without further ado...in 3rd place Antoine Griezmann, the star man behind Liverpool's 3rd place also gets third place here, maybe his manager underrates him! In 2nd place, narrowly missing out on first Sergio Aguero who helped fire Chelsea to glory. This leaves Sergio Busquets, Luis Suarez and Marco Reus fighting for the title...

22:45 And your winner is....Luis Suarez. Despite Newcastle's poor season, Suarez bagged 33 goals in 27 games, a big move is maybe on the cards?

22:47 Joining Luis Suarez in your team of the season...David De Gea, Philip Lahm, Leonardo Bonucci, Nicolas Otamendi, Felipe Luis, Angel Di Maria, Sergio Busquets, Paul Pogba, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez and Sergio Aguero

22:48 Its now time for manager of the season, last year Renegade narrowly beat LSTD and Fan to the award, this season one of those 3 has the chance to become the first manager to win the award twice, SKA and Rooney give them serious competition though, Fud not so much. Who are your top 3?

22:50 In third place, missing his chance to win a second manager of the season award LSTD who guided Liverpool to a record high of 3rd place.

Its time for another musical interlude...

Lets hope for a summer of this song playing loud in the streets of Pairs.

22:54 So i can now reveal that this seasons top 3 is the same as last years, which means Fan and Renegade go head to head for the award...who will be the first manager to win it twice?

22:55 I'm afraid JYAF has parked in Fans car park, so there will be a delay whilst the issue is sorted.

23:00 THE WINNER IS......FAN. Congratulations on a thoroughly deserved award, Manager of the Season, League Champion, nothing else needs saying. Renegade just misses out in 2nd place.

23:02 Its been a fantastic night and a fantastic season, i'd like to thank all those who have taken part and continue to do so, let's make season 9 the best so far
