Brighton & Hove Albion’s goalkeeper Matthew Ryan has been named as the Premier League’s PFA Bristol Street Motors Fan’s Player of the Month despite getting the same number of votes as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
With the vote tied, the award was given to Ryan as he played more minutes than the Arsenal forward which, if you ask me, is a stupid reason.
If you are just as good over 500 minutes as someone else is over 1,000, who is really deserving of the award?
Yes, yes, I know, I’m just bitter.
