OHAI! Another year has passed, and another Football Manager game discussed and dissected, and then often discussed again (though only for a short while, they were linked to the correct thread soon enough!) A year provides a years worth of thrills and spills, confessions and misconceptions, promotions and demotions, which gives us plenty of categories for this installment in the Football Manager Forum awards. Will you be the one winning like Spain, or will you be left crying on the side like Cristiano Ronaldo!? That, of course, is up to YOU as the members to decide!

So there we have it ladies and gentlemen! There is the shortlist for the winners of the Footmall 2008 Forum Awards, and now all that is left for you to do is vote away!

Good luck to all the nominees, and bad luck to those who didn't make the list! This thread is now the official forum awards discussion thread, so use it and don't abuse it!

Can you pick yourself?

No, lol. That should be obvious.

AIDAN O GRADY FOR SEXIEST MEMBER.

Hmm, not bad, although most of my nominations are for bad things. What am I hear for though?
Looking to take one away tbh, I'd be well chuffed.

AIDAN O GRADY FOR SEXIEST MEMBER.

*SOMS's.

Turna and Stu should be in the biggest nub award.

Delexo wins by default

*SOMS's.

Lol Delexo.

I'm casting my votes.

No u!

Why am i in the biggest ass lick

Underated should be in that, he spammed the forum to get mod

Will make my votes tommorow

Shortlisted twice! I'll vote later.
Three things I predict happening-

1. No-one votes for Trinity SOMS because they think everyone else will
2. Everyone will vote toby21 for member who most look up to because it says you shouldn't
3. At least one person will be annoyed because they didn't win an award
