  • Good on you buddy. Your obsession with trying to bring the Eels down every chance you get has finally paid off.
  • I hope he remembered to thank Spags for all the inside info during his acceptance speech.

    No matter how successful you are it is very important that you never forget the little people.

  • Is there a journalist that hasn't won an award? It's an awardathon.
  • This must be a gee up. There were better, more balanced articles about the salary cap drama than any from Proszenko. Anyway, sucked in Adrian. You wanted the club to curl up and die, but we will be so much stronger for putting up with you pathetic attemps to destabilise the club.
  • Well on truth we all should share this award here at 1eyed as we know prosenko just trawls here for his stories anyway lol
  • ROFL SEIZURE

  • I think you are trying to stitch us up Poppa.

    8 yo winning a sewing award - bet your Gran was happy as.

  • I wonder why he never extended his Journalistic Excellence to follow through on Seward, Irvine, Nolan, Managers, Todd etc
  • Clark Kent at daily planet will be upset
