It's pretty much the end of the English Premier League season and the awards have been dished out for writer's/player's/young player of the season. Gareth Bale aka the Chimp-man aka Bale-zilla, has been the stand out player combining super charged speed with razor sharp dribbling and powerful accurate shooting.

Overseas transfer of the Year
- Michu- Rayo Vallecano to Swansea City
- Jan Vertonghen- Ajax to Tottenham Hotspur
- Christian Benteke- Genk to Aston Villa
Benteke came to Villa as a fairly unknown Belgian striker. However a string of goalscoring cameos has rocketed his market value and reputation to the top of the Premier League food chain. As a young, strong, fast, agile and skillful striker Benteke would have been close to winning this award if Aston Villa were not flirting so close with relegation.
Vertonghen has given finally given Spurs a real classy centre back replacing (when fit) Ledley King. Composed and with two good feet, he adds an extra goalscoring element to Tottenham team who are on the verge of Champion League football for next season.
Michu is my winner for Overseas Transfer of the Year. The converted attacking midfielder was signed for just £2.5million and not many would have tipped him for doing anything of substance at the Liberty Stadium. But Michael Laudrup's knowledge of Spanish football was astute enough to sign Michu and play him as a forward. A lethal left foot and cultured all round game has turned 22 goal Michu in to one of the deadliest goalscorers in the Premier League right now. Many feared for Swansea this year with 'second season syndrome' after losing some key players, but with a solid season and a League Cup Trophy win, Michu has been the instigator for all things positive and my winner.
Worst Attitude Award
Jose Bosingwa once hailed as one of the finest right backs in world football has certainly fallen from grace. A woeful season from QPR is one thing. But for a number of players who are quite happy to receive outrageously high pay-packets, Bosingwa is the worst. After being relegated from the PL, Jose was seen having a bit of a laugh down the tunnel as players like Clint Hill were in tears on the pitch. Bosingwa is pretty much the epitome of what is wrong with the modern game. Disgraceful.

David Brent Managerial Award
This quiz is genuinely difficult to determine whether It was the fictional tragic boss David Brent or the factual tragic boss Brendan Rodgers...
Wernham Hogg or Anfield?
The above quiz is tough. Brendan Rogers is a modern day Brent, but I don't want to watch re-runs of his interviews on Sunday night.
Best Extra-Curricular Activity Award
Andrey Arshavin
Absolutely nothing creepy about this and completely normal.

| Beautiful man |
I love Phil Jones. He is a gifted defender and a very hard working individual, who also has the best game-face in football.
That is the first instalment of Pie Sports News awards, there will be some more of the same and probably a bit more of a analytical and serious look at the up coming awards.
Part 2 Coming Soon...
