official poll has started on the website...got to be the toughest choice this year...thought didier had it in the bag...but the way the season is going I can't help but feel unwilling to vote for anyone!!! I will wait a bit longer me thinks...

those in contention: Drogba, Ivanovic....err...that's it! of course Ash would have been in there if he hadn't got injured so early in the year

Ivanovic for me.

He's okish Ivanovic, but Bozwingha is

better, lightning pace and great going forward.

I reckon Ashley Cole or Didier Drogba with Florent

Malouda as outsider to get it.

I think Drogba will get it but i would prefer Ivan to.

You might say bosingwa is better but Ivan is a centre back by trade and has played out of position all season and has been our ONLY consistent performer. Top stuff from Ivan this year.

Ivan. No contest.

Ivan. No contest.

Drogba - no contest

forgot about malouda...he should get a mention, but can disappear at times...didier's 28 goals (and counting) will probably win the day...take him out the team and we would have been truly f*cked this season

For me it is a straight competition between Drogba's goals and Ivan's consistency and I don't feel there is very much at all to choose between them.

Ashley Cole would been my choice if he hadn't missed such a chunk and also if that chunk wasn't the all important run in (and obviously if he had maintained his form).

So for me... err... Drogba by a midge's ball hair.

Ivanovic

Ballack for me, he's worked so hard, scored

so many important goals, well worthy of his

reported £135k a week.

imo there should be no doubt about Drogba beeing our POTY.

Gotta be Ashley Cole for me.

ashley was the best till he got injured so i would say it's between drogs and ivanovic

Ivanovic

Ivanovic, cant remember a bad game.

Ivanovic. Any time of the day.

Drogba might win it on the basis of goals he's scored this season because fans who don't think too deep tend not to look at a defender's performances over the season.

But to be honest, Drogba may have a very good scoring record this season, but sadly, whenever he has performed, the rest of the team has not lived up to it which has resulted in us dropping points. Also, unfortunately, our style of play depends way too much on him, so it becomes make or break at times. That said, he still remains one of our major driving forces and could yet play part in a fruitful run-in for Chelsea.

Ivanoivc´s performances are getting totally overrated imho ... Its not Drogba´s fault that we rely too much on him.

Ivanovic's taken some huge steps this season, and is definitely the one who's improved the most. I really love his attitude. He was the only one playing well in december, but over the season Drogba's been the best.

Not really sure what to make of that comment.

Its Drogba , and for me its not even close.

Take him away and its hard to imagine where we would be.

Special mention for Ashley who was fantastic and from Aug to Jan so was Anelka, sadly his Feb and Mar have been appalling.

Those voting for Ivanovic are in for a disappointment i feel. He has been good, and at times very good, but not player of the season, no way.

If that makes me a brain dead , simpleton of a fan then so be it.

Tough choice.. Drogba for his goals, Ivan and A.Cole for their performances, and Malouda as an outsider.

I would have to go with Drogba or Ivan, can't decide.

Ivanovic. He has played well and consistent even when all others have been bad.
