As Aston Villa cancel their player of the year awards do following a disastrous season, here are the best jokes about this admittedly wise decision.
Having accumulated just 16 points in their 33 games thus far, managerless Villa are anchored to the bottom of the Premier League and find themselves a whopping 15 points from safety.
Although relegation to the Championship is not yet mathematically confirmed, it would take something of a miracle for this famous old club not to go down.
No surprise then to see Aston Villa cancel their player of the year awards, nor is it any surprise to see these jokes doing the rounds:

Aston Villa will not have a Player of the Year award for the 2015/16 Season. Simply because the lot of them were monumentally crap.

Aston Villa cancel end of year backslapping awards. Should have a lot of players, not all, in a custard pie throwing contest.

Aston Villa won't be holding Player of the Year awards as nobody has deserved one since about 2010.

The PFA Award for the team best at not showing up is Aston Villa! Sadly they couldn't be here to collect the award today…..
