6 Steps to Overcome Fear / Self-Limiting Beliefs

6 Steps to Overcome Fear / Self-limiting Beliefs

At first, I didn’t think I’d write about this. The challenge to myself was to just post the video, that’s it. But witnessing such amazing response I thought I’d share more and give you a background of what was going on in my head and how I chose to go past my limiting belief.

I recently uploaded a video on all my social media profiles. This video was purely out of my commitment to my growth and me moving beyond my mind-made fears and limitations. If you haven’t watched the video — Watch it below 👇 (not for content but for context)

youtube

Notice how I put “mind-made” in bold; it is because there are two kinds of fear. One is real, one is not.

One is life-threatening, like you falling down from a height or fear of crossing roads in fast moving traffic, etc.

The other fear is made by our mind to “protect” the ego, to keep us in a safe, comfortable place (emotionally). Basic example of mind-made fears is — one not raising their hand in class which is equivalent to one not sharing / communicating cause of fear of being judged. This fear encourages behaviour which is safe and comfortable. There’s not much to lose per se, but then there’s not much to gain as well.

Growth is outside the comfort zone. Growth is in doing things we’ve never done before, learning things we haven’t learnt before.

I am going to be talking about mind-made fear / self-limiting beliefs.

I am certain we all have gone beyond our mind-made fears / limitations some time or the other, out of necessity if not by choice. However, in this article, I will share the exact steps I took that inspired me to go beyond the limiting belief so it can be replicated and we can choose to move beyond our made up limitations at whim and not only when it is absolutely necessary.

----

I thought of this idea (of sharing a video) last week. I remember I was in the shower, just contemplating life, dreams, goals.

I thought about my dream of leading/influencing people (leading, educating, training, DJing). That lead me to think about the repercussions of coronavirus on the music, entertainment, and training/education industry. How a lot of artists/leaders/trainers/educators are going “live” on various social medias to further their vision and provide value. I thought about how I could also do the same and that’s where I stopped. I immediately said to myself, “Nah, I can’t do that.”

I introspected, why can’t I do that?

The answer was fear of being judged.

Thats when I thought I’d take a step beyond this fear and upload a video.

One half of me (the higher-self) instantly agreed to do this as it saw all the possibilities, the bright side, how it will expand me. It took this as an opportunity. I thought to myself, here I am, one who dreams to perform in front of people, lead people, one who dreams of fame, etc, and I am not comfortable with myself?

How could I lead people when I am not confident about myself? How could I play in front of people if am not confident about myself? — To be specific — When I get conscious of people looking at me and listening to me! [I have been comfortable with 1 on 1 conversations but 1 to group, not that much — working on it]

I thought to myself — How could I be everything that I wanted and more without being completely comfortable with myself — be it with the way I look, the way I talk, the way I am in general.

I assume that all the people I aspire to be like — the ones who are leading, the ones who are performing, the ones who are comfortable putting out videos, etc, are like that because they are comfortable with themselves, how they are, who they are, and are confident about themselves.

I have got to own myself and accept myself as is, I thought to myself! This is it, this is me!

Extra motivation came in the form of the realisation that I will be able to share / contribute much more value via video on top of what I am and will be providing through just writing.

So I said to myself — challenge accepted!

I took this idea as a stepping stone to achieve my goals and dreams.

The other half of me (the ego), however, did not like this idea at all! It was not confident about this. It thought this idea was stupid, pointless. It’s funny how the ego was giving me two contradicting reasons to stop me from recording and uploading the video.

People will make fun of you. You’ll look like an idiot. No one cares about your upload or what you’re doing, etc.

You are just doing this to satisfy your ego (lol) [I read somewhere, as we learn more, become smarter, our egos do too. #JusSharin]

Basically anything to get me not to do this.

My ego was asking me not to take any action — to protect itself. I had a lot of reasons not to do this, one of the main ones being — “what will people say or think?” (Hence I took around a week to upload a 30-second video. I did it nonetheless.)

This question of “what will people think/say?” alone has stopped me from living my best life since forever. I get present to this thought’s deep-rooted nature in my life, in my way of being each day. I get present to the impact it has on my life, the opportunity costs and it drives me to move ahead, go beyond this dialogue and be/do/say whatever I want to be/do/say. [It does, a lot of times, make me feel like a loser too, I won’t lie— mainly when I accept the limitations and I don’t take any action. ]

“Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.”

Benjamin Disraeli

I have been on a conscious journey of self-expression since 2013, I think.

Self expression for me = to be, do, say who I am, what/how I feel — unapologetically.

I have noticed how I suppress my thoughts, emotions, point of views and I am actively working on communicating the same.

I have come a long way from where I was back then, no doubt, but there is still a long way to go!

3-4 years back, I gave myself a challenge to write about my feelings, share my journey, my point of views. I was pretty nervous back when I started. It was new for me. But it was a small step towards self-expression. Once I did start writing however, it felt freeing and I got really positive response from people around me. Now I am pretty comfortable with that — so much so that I started a blog!

Now, I gave myself another challenge — to put out a video of me on social media.

This meant A LOT to me. I don’t know if you have noticed, but I am not one of those who post their pictures, selfies, or post videos of themselves or go live. I’m not comfortable getting clicked… So, posting a video which I took of myself — online? 😅

But I did it. And you know what, I felt great. I respect myself more. I love myself more. I am proud of myself.

----

So down to business, 6 steps I used to overcome my fear / self-limiting belief

Identify the fear / limiting belief

Get present to the impact it has had on your life till now.

Get present to its impact in the future, if things remain the same — the opportunity costs

Imagine if you didn’t have that fear — what would you be/do/say? How would you look like? How would life look like?

Ask yourself, what is one thing you could do today that would take you closer to that you/life without fear? One step to take you beyond that fear/limitation. It could be a baby step.

Take that step and acknowledge / celebrate it (It is extremely important to acknowledge and celebrate. Success breeds success. — Small victories form momentum and bring about big victories.)

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

Lao Tzu

I took the baby steps and I love myself for that. I feel powerful. I guess the most powerful feeling is when you go beyond your own limitations; when you prove it to yourself that YOU CAN DO IT! That’s a different kind of high.

I felt so good and freeing after posting the video and receiving the amazing response, that I made a youtube channel! 😂

Also, I used the above-mentioned method to start waking up at 5am!!! I don’t know if you know, but I have always considered myself a night person. It was effortless for me to stay up till 4,5,6 am and the best time to sleep for me was when the sun was rising. My closest friends call me DK (Dark Knight) cause I always meet them late at night, nothing to do with the fact that I usually wear the color Black (haha). I never saw myself as a morning person, but now I am waking up at 5 am 2-3 times a week. My aim is to wake up at 4 am on weekdays at least.

Late nights were productive (when I was at home). Late night is a good time to work because there’s little to no distractions. Same is the case with waking up early morning though. There is little to no distraction And trust me when I say this — the most productive days of MY LIFE have been when I woke up at 4/5 am!

*Bonus Tips*

If your mind says you can’t do it — Look for other people who have done what you’re committed to doing. If they can do it, you can do it! (Learn how they did it, what worked for them)

Repeat! — If you keep repeating the 6 steps, be it in any area of life, for any reason — you will not recognize yourself when you look back. The amount of growth and expansion you will achieve is going to be insane.

----

To conclude, this method did work for me in different areas of life and I believe it will work for you too if you apply it as per the steps outlined above.

Don’t be hard on yourself if you don’t see results right away though, it is a journey. Be patient, and more importantly, be consistent with your effort and never give up (characteristics of the people who succeed).

Start with baby steps. I am certain that you can accomplish whatever you set your mind to!

Extremely important note — ***All of this (me sharing and expressing my point of views), is possible because of the amazing listening and reception I get from my community (both online and offline) — my friends, family — all the generous, loving, and supportive people who have made this journey of self-expression, self-awareness so pleasant, peaceful and joyous. Thank you so much for being so supportive and encouraging always! Means A LOT!***

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 🙏

Lots of love!

Premier League 2016 -1 7 season evaluate: our scribes’ most effective and worst

Our columnists take stock after the Premier League season, reputation their best actor, finest purpose, most witty parallel, biggest objection and much more

Best actor

Daniel Taylor : NGolo Kant. If he can deter Cesc Fbregas out of the Chelsea team, he must be some player.

Barney Ronay: Friendly midfield interceptors are the fad, but Harry Kane has been the outstanding single actor: top scorer, team man and with just enough comic-book star quality.

Dominic Fifield : Eden Hazard, liberated by Antonio Contes switching in organization, plied the cut and thrust which stimulated Chelsea to their title success. Given his toils last-place season as he contended with a hip objection, his resurgence was eye-catching. Paul Wilson : It possibly doesnt trouble which Chelsea candidate gets the vote, so in the interests of sharing thoughts around I am going to go for Csar Azpilicueta. He seems to be able to play in any standing across the back course and his consistency and persistence are unaffected. Amy Lawrence : If you could bottle the minds of the Kant and grocery it to football clubs it would be a bestseller. He has an ability to manufacture others around him better, to make a game plan quicker. The space he carried his Leicester excellence so easily to Chelsea, to be transformative instantly, deserves all the plaudits. Barry Glendenning : Jordan Pickford. Only in Sunderlands first team because David Moyes was unable to entice Joe Hart on lend to Wearside, the 23 -year-old gathered off the impressive achievement of seeing himself one of the most sought-after young goalkeepers in Europe despite invited to participate in the Premier Leagues worst unit. Although hes prone to the increasingly rare error, its difficult to collect openings in different aspects of Pickfords overall competition and its no exaggeration to say that without him, Sunderland might well have been demoted before the sighting of this springs first swallow. David Hytner : Eden Hazard. Back to his very best. His ability to realise certain differences when it matters the most celebrates him out. Scott Murray : Diego Costa saved Chelsea going throughout the autumnal odyssey that effectively decided the league, all the while staying in persona as pantomime provocateur. Homeric. Well miss his entertaining attendance when hes get.

Jamie Jackson: Dele Alli. Seventeen Premier League purposes at 175 times per impres for a No10 is top class. At 21, a actor with that margin all society players own has to get better.

Andy Hunter: Eden Hazard. The champions were not simply a very defensive crew, as a former administrator demeanour sour grapes hinted. They were also the most devastating and smart crew in the final third thanks primarily to the Belgium internationals return to form.

Louise Taylor: Sam Clucas, Hull City; runner up, David Luiz, Chelsea. There are other, far more obvious, candidates but placed in the purposes of the Clucass achievement in ascending five echoes of the league ladder in succeeding seasons it has to be the left-footed midfielder. Impressive since being shifted from a wide persona to center midfield this expression, the intelligence of Clucass transferring assumes the specific characteristics of Glenn Hoddle, who persuaded him not to give up video games before honing his knowledge at his football establishment in Spain. David Luiz, meanwhile, is lovely to watch and his re-invention in Antonio Contes back three has thoroughly mystified the doubters.

Stuart James: Gylfi Sigurdsson. Directly involved in 22 of Swansea Citys 43 destinations. For a participate to constantly create and tally so many destinations in a crew that wasted nearly the entire season engaging relegation is quite something.

Jacob Steinberg : After last seasons sabbatical, Eden Hazard rediscovered his mojo in stimulating style and discovered the uniformity to go with his outrageous endowment. NGolo Kant was a deserving recipient of the PFA and FWA awards, but Hazard was Chelseas match-winner on so many occasions.

Paul Doyle: Kasper Schmeichel. While the rest of last-place seasons champions lost their style, the goalkeeper was the only Leicester player to improve. Yes, there was that 6-1 demolish by Spurs but, taking a broader deem, Schmeichel was an example to us all in these disturbed times.

Simon Burnton : The bright, hard-working, humble and likeable NGolo Kant deserves all the player-of-the-season honors currently cluttering his mantelpiece. Ed Aarons : NGolo Kant deserves his awards for triumphing two seconds successive Premier League title, but Christian Eriksens return to form coincided with Tottenhams emergence as Chelseas simply sincere challengers. Even 13 facilitates and eight Premier League objectives do not explain the importance of the Denmark international to Mauricio Pochettino. Csar Azpilicueta likewise deserves a mention.

Sachin Nakrani : Gylfi Sigurdsson. The Iceland international instantly contributed to almost half of Swanseas Premier League destinations and, very simply, without him they would have been relegated, accepting all the fallout that comes with that, which, it should be remembered, includes people losing their jobs.

Best administrator

Daniel Taylor : Antonio Conte. Even Jos Mourinho has stopped temporarily, at the least trying to subvert him. How, maybe, can anyone question what he has done to get Chelsea back on top?

Barney Ronay: Antonio Conte. Hurled together on the hoof a wonderfully well-grooved endorse unit, eased John Terry out of the picture without the slightest friction and on equal days remains the most ridiculously stimulated being about anything ever.

Dominic Fifield : Antonio Conte. In a tournament crammed with upper-class directors, he accommodated best to the peculiarities of the Premier League and dissolved up putting all the other big names to shame.

Paul Wilson : It was going to be Marco Silva until a few weeks ago, but now Hull are back in the real world after a brief visit to dreamland there seems no object in ogling past the obvious. Antonio Conte could hardly have hoped for a better first season in England. In terms of affect, it announces it all that he can now parallel Carlo Ancelottis double as well as Jos Mourinhos Premier League chronicle of prevails in a season.

Antonio Conte: Chelsea’s brand-new Special One? video

Amy Lawrence : Conte. From the very first tournament of the Premier League safarus when he celebrated a late win over West Ham with that zealous touchline infatuation, he has managed almost every situation with government, class and style. In tactical modifications and soldier handling, bringing the best out of characters as different as David Luiz, Diego Costa, Victor Moses and Pedro, he just missed a beat. Barry Glendenning : Antonio Conte. Charming and handsome, with the touchline behaviour of a human who has just had a large handful of crimson ants declined down the trousers of his expensive designer dres, the issue is little to dislike about Chelseas manager. His was changed to a back three in the aftermath of defeat at Arsenal has been applauded in some quarters as the greatest managerial masterstroke in its own history of football and while that may be be over-egging the dessert rather, the manner in which he steered his team to the name with a minimum of fuss in a season when one or more of Messrs Klopp, Mourinho and Guardiola were expected to have his quantity was no aim feat. David Hytner : Antonio Conte. It has been another tremendously impressive season for Mauricio Pochettino but Contes has been better. Took over a Chelsea squad with both problems and, in what has been his first season outside of Italy, moulded them into champions. Scott Murray : Heres a respectful gesture to Arsne Wenger, who in addition to yet another high league set and yet another cup final, somehow insisted super-human levels of glory despite intense provocation from an entitled minority. An remarkable feat. His will be much the very best examine when this history is told 20 times from now.

Jamie Jackson: Antonio Conte. He coached the volatile Costa to 20 tournament points and may prevail the classic English double in his debut season.

Andy Hunter: Conte is the stand-out alternative , not only for winning the Premier League title in his first season in English football but for how he responded to potential disasters notably the 3-0 defeat at Arsenal and Januarys stand-off with Costa.

Louise Taylor: Sean Dyche, Burnley. Antonio Conte clearly has a strong speciman while, despite narrowly failing to keep Hull up, Marco Silva altered irrigate into wine-colored in eastern Yorkshire. Then theres Mauricio Pochettino, whose Tottenham team play marvelous football on about one half the collective wage statute of other top six backs, but deterring Burnley in the Premier League is a significant achievement. Committed the same relatively limited resources as Dyche, would Jos Mourinho or Pep Guardiola have done anything like as well?

Stuart James: Antonio Conte. Enormously impressive to acquire the name in his first season in English football tactically astute, full of infatuation for the game and get the impression that every player, even those not regularly in his starting XI, buys into his work.

Jacob Steinberg : A nod to Sean Dyche for preserving Burnley away from the relegation scrap, but it has to be Conte, who outperformed his rivals by revitalizing a misfiring, uneven crew with the dominance of his motivational tones, tactical acumen and virulent will to win.

Paul Doyle: Sean Dyche. Burnley never looked like going down, which is remarkable.

Simon Burnton : Great as Tottenham was again been under Mauricio Pochettino, Antonio Contes affect at Chelsea has been greater. Ed Aarons : Antonio Conte. The Italian simply arrived at Stamford Bridge a month before Chelseas first play of the season but has emerged as a entitlement winner in his first season in English football. The was changed to 3-4-3 has defined Contes success but the former Juventus midfielder has also pictured his man-management knowledge in dealing with Diego Costas regular tantrums. Sachin Nakrani : Antonio Conte. Triumphing the claim in your first season in England is a superb achievement, especially where reference is involves reinvigorating a squad that had been in turmoil during the previous campaign.

Best point

Daniel Taylor : Olivier Girouds scorpion kick for Arsenal against Crystal Palace. Barney Ronay : Girouds passing scorpion attack, a lovely move and a ludicrous finish, made all the more implausible given the fact he seems to stop mid-scorpion to winch his leg up a bit higher, like a exceedingly potent male trying to writhed his route over a garden fence. Dominic Fifield : Eden Hazard against Arsenal, sprinting away from Laurent Koscielny and holding off Francis Coquelins attempts to returning him down, then finishing before Shkodran Mustafi could block. Paul Wilson : Sam Allardyce will have been more concerned about some unconvincing Crystal Palace defending, but Andy Carrolls overhead kicking against Crystal Palace takes some vanquish for wow point. Not a crew point, perhaps, but Carroll placed a lot of himself into it.

Amy Lawrence : The Emre Can/ Giroud/ Henrikh Mkhitaryan showpieces lead the way for individualism, but there was something that struck a chord about Willians goal for Chelsea at Everton in video games that detected so influential for the claim. What a fine team objective. The excellence of Cesc Fbregass control and pass for Willian summed up the brio Chelsea rediscovered this season. That was the moment they find undeniably like champions again.

How the 2016 -1 7 Premier League title was won by Chelsea video

Barry Glendenning : Gastn Ramrez. Maybe not the best, but almost certainly the only happening of interest any Middlesbrough footballer did all season Ramrezs fine solo exertion transported goal-shy Boro on their space to their first dwelling winning. Picking up the ball inside his own half and encouraged by the strange dislike of anyone in a Bournemouth shirt to shut him down, the Uruguayan started on a 70 -yard run down the inside left that climaxed with him unexpectedly cutting inside and slotting dwelling. Buoyed by this rare moment of quality and brainchild, Middlesbrough went on to acquire three more Premier League competitors, while their increasingly unpopular summer signing would go on to tallied simply one more goal as his surface sank below the depths. David Hytner : Andy Carroll v Crystal Palace. Nothing has the ability to raising mouth to the storey more rapidly than the pulsate scissor kick. Specially when it is executed by a big man. Scott Murray : Olivier Giroud against Palace. A finish so nonsensical its easy to forget the six-player pitch-long romp that predated it, embellished by a centre-circle back-flick from Giroud himself. English footballs most eye-catching sweep forward since Terry McDermott scored against Spurs in 1978.

Jamie Jackson: Henrikh Mkhitaryans scorpion kick versus Sunderland on Boxing Day. Zlatan Ibrahimovic pings a cross over from the right and the Armenian lets extend a hovering back-heeled barrage. Delicious.

Andy Hunter: Dimitri Payet, West Ham United v Middlesbrough. Other points carried more heavines in the purposes of the the season Emre Can against Watford and Eden Hazards v Arsenal being the most notable patterns but based purely on its merits this fleeting reminder of the quality the France international could bring to the Premier League “havent had” equates.

Louise Taylor: Robert Snodgrass v Leicester City. The win in a 2-1 sicken opening-day victory against the defending champs for Mike Phelans side. When Wes Morgan could only half-clear Ahmed Elmohamadys wicked cross, the ball fell to Snodgrass whose first-time, left hoofed, half-volley arrowed into the bottom angle.

Stuart James: Emre Cans bicycle knock against Watford must take some thumping. In fairness, Olivier Girouds scorpion kick against Palace is also worthy of a mention.

Jacob Steinberg : Gaston Ramrezs slaloming 70 -yard run against Bournemouth ended with a clever stunt and a cool finish. Sure, Andy Carroll, Olivier Giroud and Henrikh Mkhitaryan all took the breather away with those scorpion kickings and bicycle detonations. But in an otherwise grisly season for Middlesbrough, the fact Ramrezs solo effort was a uncommon instant of hullabaloo attains it all the more precious. Simon Burnton : Olivier Girouds New Years Day scorpion kick wasnt even Januarys goal of the month, and there are a few competitive barrages that compare with it, but to my recollection it is the best of the cluster. It has grown on the scorer as much as it has grown on me: after the game he said he was a bit lucky. It was the only event I could do. I tried to thumped it with a backheel and after it was all about fluke, but by March he was saying: I dont wishes to big myself up but objectives like mine leave a mark on history. Andy Carrolls[ overhead kicking] is splendid, but perhaps people wont recalls that it in two years experience. Mine, yes.

Paul Doyle: Wayne Rooney against Stoke. It was a hell of a way to grasp a late equaliser, prepared a wonderful chronicle and persuade Jos Mourinho he could finally jilt an over-the-hill hero.

Ed Aarons : In a season of spectacular volleys, Emre Can saved the best for last-place. His brilliant overhead kick against Watford left good-for-nothing to fortune, unlike Olivier Giroud or Henrikh Mkhitaryans scorpion kicks. Sachin Nakrani : Olivier Giroud v Crystal Palace. In a season of notable scorpion/ overhead knocks, this one borders it because of the slick counter-attack that preceded it and which Giroud was involved in as well as the stature at which boot converged dance prior to it looping into the net.

Best competitor

Daniel Taylor : At health risks of clanging like a sadnes, its not easy to think of a stand-out match this season. Nothing left home as agitated as, tell, examining Monaco in the Champions League. Barney Ronay : Swansea 5-4 Crystal Palace. Messy, wild and frantic at times, but this is basically what the Premier League is for. Dominic Fifield : Bournemouths madcap 4-3 win over Liverpool was entertaining, but Crystal Palaces acquire at Chelsea in April encapsulated everything about the baffling sort of the Premier League at times. Chelsea were exquisite going forward, playing wonderfully incisive and inventive football. Palace defended ruggedly and, somehow, maintained them out. Paul Wilson : The one that remains in the mind is Manchester City 1-3 Chelsea. An eventful and entertaining tournament, with some dead-eyed finishing by Chelsea to leave Pep Guardiola murmuring about Kevin de Bruynes miss for the rest of the season. A substantial title needle at the Etihad too, for the second consecutive season following Leicesters statement win in February. Amy Lawrence : Swansea 5-4 Crystal Palace. Lovely, incredible, beautiful, panic-struck madness. The excellent of the Bob Bradley experience. Alan Pardew trying to put on a brave appearance. First on Match of the Day for an unanticipated activity. Whats not to like?

Barry Glendenning: Bournemouth 4-3 Liverpool. They dont get much more entertainingthan this white-knuckle rideat the Vitality Stadium.

David Hytner : Swansea v Crystal Palace. Never knowledge the defending at both ends, this was a classic, loaded with drama, and the situations after Fernando Llorentes stoppage-time win seemed to shake the Liberty Stadium. Both of the managers, Bob Bradley and Alan Pardew, were sacked within a few months or so. Scott Murray : Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool. It certainly wouldnt have taken often for this activity to have ended 5-0, 0-5 or 5-5. One of those.

Jamie Jackson: Burnleys emphatic win over Liverpool at Turf Moor on the seasons second weekend perforated a opening in the designation conceits of Jrgen Klopps team and proposed Sean Dyches humanities would live. Those auguries were demonstrated correct.

Andy Hunter: Everton 4-0 Manchester City. Selecting from Premier League coincides attended, this raucous afternoon at Goodison Park stands out for many reasons. In Ronald Koemans attentions it was really perfect and a total crew rendition from Everton. It justified the emergence of Tom Davies, who scored his first destination for the society with an exquisite chipping over Claudio Bravo at the Gwladys Street end, and delivered a introduction aim for Ademola Lookman with one of the adolescents first touchings in the Premier League. For Pep Guardiola, nonetheless, it stressed the defensive and mental fragilities at Manchester City, represented the heaviest league win of his managerial profession and left him surrendering the title was beyond his crew for this season.

Louise Taylor: If this signifies watched live, its a difficult one to explanation. As north-east correspondent Ive surely determined a few campaigners for worst competition at Sunderland and Middlesbrough and the very best ones I covered invariably committed Newcastle United in the Championship. One top-tier play does stick in the recollection though; Hull 3-3 Crystal Palace in December. A six-goal thriller peculiarity a bright, mesmerising execution from Palaces Wilfried Zaha.

Stuart James: Swansea City 5-4 Crystal Palace. A nine-goal thriller that was 1-1 with 25 minutes remaining then all inferno let loose. Bob Bradley and Alan Pardew, the respective directors, went through every passion travelling and, in truth, it wasnt actually surprising that neither guy lasted much longer in the number of jobs. For what its worth, the reporters at video games were also in a appalling commonwealth saw the end.

Jacob Steinberg : Crystal Palace 0-4 Sunderland. Sunderland were so surprised about tallying four goals in a single half that they didnt win another tournament until they were already demoted. In their excuse, Ive only just recovered from the disturbance as well. Simon Burnton : Liverpools 4-3 win at the Emirates on the seasons opening weekend was everything you could question it to be and more. Superb attacking, nice goals from open play, a splendid free kick, brilliant person skill, embarrassing manager-hugging celebrations, sunshine, it had the spate. The only possible reaction was yes satisfy, Ill have nine months more of that. Which, sadly, neither unit could deliver.

Paul Doyle: Leicester 4-2 Manchester City. Thrilling and now and then brilliant, but likewise strange, outrageous and laughter. A snapshot of this seasons Premier League.

Ed Aarons : Swansea 5-4 Palace. Resulting 4-3 with the game past the 90 -minute mark, Alan Pardew must have felt pretty good. His team had just duelled back from 3-1 down with simply 15 minutes remaining to lead, simply to surrender the points to Fernando Llorentes double in injury time. Sachin Nakrani : Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool. A high-octane, end-to-end, relentlessly-thrilling encounter exclusively let down by poverty-stricken terminate. A mention, extremely, for Swanseas 5-4 succes over Crystal Palace. A madcap encounter that witnessed two aims in strike occasion and Alan Pardew horror the worst.

Best referee

Daniel Taylor : Keith Hackett. I understand his analysis of the present crop and wonder that he must never have made a mistake in his life. Barney Ronay : Clatts. Will be missed, in part for his unintentional humor, when he buds for Sauds. Dominic Fifield : Probably Martin Atkinson or Michael Oliver. Paul Wilson : No idea. They all gaze the same to me. Gives suppose Martin Atkinson. Amy Lawrence : Michael Oliver doesnt seem to want to be the virtuoso as much as some. He gives the impression of wanting best available game possible.

Barry Glendenning : Mike Dean. His no-lookyellow card to Ross Barkley in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park was a act of beauty.

David Hytner : I dont have strong impressions on the two categories this season. Id still pronounce Mark Clattenburg is the best. Scott Murray : Refs are lightning rods for impotent exasperation, raging paranoia and myopic storm. Objective kudo doesnt come into it, its not what theyre there for.

Jamie Jackson: The video official what a fearless innovation. What? They still do not prevail despite everybody else having access to ad nauseam replays?

Andy Hunter: Any nomination will incur the displeasure of at least one club though Anthony Taylor continues to improve so in the rights and interests of unison makes just say its not Jon Moss.

Louise Taylor: Probably Mark Clattenburg( despite missing the latter part of the season following move to Saudi Arabia .)

Stuart James: Not much to get excited about here. Martin Atkinson, Mark Clattenburg( yes, I realise hes now become) and Michael Oliver would be in the top three. Oliver, on a good day, gets the nod.

Jacob Steinberg : Michael Oliver goes my referendum, capped by penalizing Manchester Uniteds cynic rotational fouling on Hazard in the FA Cup. Simon Burnton : Mark Clattenburg. He sometimes looks like he thinks hes best available adjudicator in the estate, which is unappealing, but that doesnt manufacture him wrong.

Paul Doyle: Mike Dean. The only one aimed at ensuring respect for the shirt-tugging directive with something close to consistency. And technology will never have foibles as entertaining as his.

Ed Aarons : Mark Clattenburg and Martin Atkinson usually get the biggest gigs from Uefa and Fifa, but Michael Oliver remains the outstanding referee in the country. Still simply 32, the Ashington official has been in charge of more matches( 31) than anyone and issued only two red posters. Sachin Nakrani : Unlike 99% of people who watch football in this country, I dont have a strong panorama on adjudicators. They all seem approximately the same and their corrects, while occasionally astounding, never seduce me into reaching for a pitchfork.

Best signing

Daniel Taylor : Mamadou Sakho. Beings giggled when a January loan signing was nominated for Crystal Palaces actor of the season gift. But without him Palace would be down. Barney Ronay : Leroy San. What a nice mover, what a calm thought, what a nice young man. Seems to have no real limit to how good he could be. Dominic Fifield : NGolo Kant was key to Leicester Citys startling success in 2016, and just as influential to that of Chelsea in 2017. A blur of energy and interceptions, and at the heart of everything Chelsea have achieved. Paul Wilson : Where would Manchester United be without Zlatan Ibrahimovics contribution? Just the best appraise signal, and not exactly one for the future either, but until injury struck he did what he had been brought in to do. Amy Lawrence : Hard to argue with Kant for overall impact. Honest mentions to Mamadou Sakho who made a big difference to Crystal Palaces situation, and Gabriel Jesus for being a great contract who examines bound to glisten more for Manchester City in future. Barry Glendenning : NGolo Kant. David Hytner : David Luiz. Has shown that underneath the mad “hairs-breadth” lies an smart reader of the game. Has exceeded in the middle of a back three. Long passing stands beautiful to watch. Scott Murray : Gabriel Jesus, a score-any-sort genius destined to rattle in an illogical number of purposes. Had he not picked up that injury in February, Manchester City would have given Chelsea a race.

Jamie Jackson: Eric Bailly. Manchester United seem to have filled the Nemanja Vidic-sized gap created by his 2014 deviation. Costing 30 m from Villarreal, the Ivorian is a tough, reigning 23 -year-old who can be a fixture for a decade.

Andy Hunter: Paul Clement. Swansea City were foot and searching certain for relegation when they appointed their third director of awareness-raising campaigns in January. Astute contracts such as Tom Carroll and persuading a force to buy into yet another managerial tone facilitated the former Bayern Munich assistant to have an impact that they are able chassis a clubs short-term future.

Louise Taylor: Eric Bailly for Manchester United. At 30 m he wasnt cheaps but goodness knows how far United and Mourinho might have dropped without Baillys central defensive excellence.

Stuart James: NGolo Kant would have to be up there, though it was a rather obvious piece of business on Chelseas part, having regard to the Frenchmans blow at Leicester the season before. With that in imagination, and taking it account the size of the cost, Ill go for Victor Wanyama, Tottenhams 11 m draft from Southampton.

Jacob Steinberg : On the basis that signal Kant was a no-brainer after last-place seasons exploits, one has to admire Chelsea for acquiring the restore of David Luiz a success. Its easy to forget that there were spate of doubts concerning the Brazilian when he signed on deadline daylight. Simon Burnton : Crystal Palace triumphed six of the 30 plays they played without Mamadou Sakho in their line-up this season, but five of the eight in which the Liverpool loanee showed, hindering five clean sheets in the process( counting their 1-0 defeat at Spurs, in which he was forced off after 57 goalless times and they confessed in the 78 th ). No other signing was so transformational. Paul Doyle : Mamadou Sakho. Liverpool outcast, Crystal Palace saviour. Ed Aarons : Hard discussing this with NGolo Kant for 30 m, who transposed from one blue-blooded title-winning shirt to another with minimum of fuss. Victor Wanyama, 11 m from Southampton, has had almost the same effect for Tottenham, albeit for a third of the price. Sachin Nakrani : Zlatan Ibrahimovic. I was among the people who thought the 35 -year-old, while undeniably talented, would strive in England. Instead “hes having” gone on to become one of best available free carries-over in Premier League history.

Worst flop

Daniel Taylor : Pep Guardiola. Maybe our beliefs were too high but, after all that waiting, it has been a real regret. Claudio Bravo find a close second, which are likely exemplifies the point. Barney Ronay : Claudio Bravo of course, the first goalkeeper Ive ever seen receive an sardonic round of applause from his own love for making a save.

Dominic Fifield : Moussa Sissoko has barely pulled up any trees since becoming Tottenham Hotspurs record signing, which has not start just as much of a surprise to those who watched him regularly at Newcastle United.

Guardiola: Barcelona and Bayern Munich would have sacked me video

Paul Wilson : The male who was tired of London. Dimitri Payet was a big letdown at West Ham United. The clubs 2015 -1 6 player of the year and brainchild for a stadium mural at least ought to have been able to manage a full season before leaving. Amy Lawrence : Jointly awarded to Manchester United and Arsenal, neither of whom were able to organize a serious challenge for the Premier League title despite banking heavily last summertime to apparently boost their push.

Barry Glendenning: Pep Guardiola. Assignment with his most difficult job in managing thus far, even by his own admittance the Manchester City director has come up woefully short.

David Hytner : Simone Zaza. His incongruous retribution at the Euros for Italy was simply the prelude. Saw his loan charm at West Ham United break short after 11 matches and no goals because, had he played a bit more, the squad would have had to buy him outright. Moved to Valencia in January. Scott Murray : Pep Guardiola arrived in England with a big honour … for being super-surly in news conference. His splendid derision for daft topics has at times glint through this was simply magnificent but has still not been with Fergie or Louis van Gaal levels of consistency. Hes got the press corps sounded, though, if the repeated heighten of the subject on the Sunday Supplement is anything to go by. He now needs to go in for the kill.

Jamie Jackson: Claudio Bravo. Pep Guardiola possibly blew Manchester Citys hopes of acquiring anything in his first season when bombing out Joe Hart and 14.5 m for the Chilean on 25 August. Bravo in a word? Hapless.

Andy Hunter: Claudio Bravo. There were more expensive blunders than the Manchester City goalkeeper Tottenhams 30 m outlay on Moussa Sissoko for example but his recruitment was fundamental to how Pep Guardiola envisaged his first season in the Premier League and served only to undercut it. That is not to say it was a mistake to replace Joe Hart, who has toiled at Torino, simply that Bravo was the incorrect choice.

Louise Taylor: Moussa Sissoko, Tottenham Hotspur. Rafael Bentez is rightly proud of influencing Spurs to part with 30 m for a midfielder who played a big its participation in Newcastle Uniteds relegation last year and whose Euro 2016 cameos for France flattered to entrap. Certainly when HMRC lately attacked St James Park, club personnel joked about whether they were investigating the crime of 30m from Spurs.

Stuart James: A few in the concoction here Borja Bastn at Swansea, Jordon Ibe at Bournemouth and Ahmed Musa at Leicester all spring to mind. But Claudio Bravo, Manchester Citys 17 m goalkeeper, is surely the standout nominee. What were you thinking of, Pep?
