Everyone’s taking the p*ss out of James Milner’s appearance at Liverpool’s big bash

Poor James Milner.

He really can't win. When he tries to say or do something in public, he is lampooned for being boring, but on occasions when he simply wants to blend into the background, we stands out like a sore thumb. Thursday night saw Liverpool host their end-of-season Players' Awards 2016. It was perhaps somewhat premature seeing as they may yet win the Europa League in Basel on May 18, but busy schedules must. It was Philippe Coutinho who cleaned up in terms of actual awards, winning Fans' Player of the Season, Players' Player of the Season, the Performance of the Season (vs. Man City in November), and the Goal of the Season (vs. Man United in the Europa League).
