Liverpool’s Vigilant Vanished!…

In the comedic world of football awards, it appears a cheeky gremlin has mischievously left Virgil van Dijk off the PFA shortlist this season! Despite marching valiantly at the heart of Liverpool’s defense like a noble knight warding off fearsome strikers, the Dutchman finds himself mysteriously absent as two of his saxophone brothers, Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Slippery-Smooth Salah, grace the spotlight. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s dazzling Declan and Newcastle’s Isak the Incredible both pirouette onto the list after a season of acrobatics and bewildering fans worldwide.

Ah, the bewildering PFA circus! As the curtains rise, Bruno Fernandes stands proudly on the stage. Yes, dear reader, this Magician of Mediocrity from Manchester United, stuck in mid-table quicksand, astonishingly fiddled his way onto the list. Conjuring just enough goals and assists, this unlocker of defenses continues to make Portugal proud, and probably grant bonus points for surviving 57 matches in all competitions without forgetting which club he’s really playing for.

But wait, there’s more! Chelsea’s young wizard Cole Palmer, despite seriously misplacing his goal-scoring wand post-January—netting a solitary time—still twinkles in amid a so-so spell. The PFA Magician’s Ball awaits as Mo Salah, golden boots ablaze, aims to clinch his third triumphant award. The heart-pounding award spectacle will unfold on August 19 in magical Manchester, where no ghost can dare steal the spotlight from Egypt’s electrifying enchantment, Mo Salah. Will there be history?
