The Doorsie Awards!

With another Premier League season in the can (a contender for Sky's close-season slogan), it is time for Early Doors to blow the cobwebs off its filthy dinner jacket and substitute safety pins for cufflinks.

It's time for ED's legendary end-of-season awards: The Doorsies!

TWITTER TWIT OF THE SEASON Joey Barton: Why do people always want to solve any conflict with a fight? As a pacifist, I find it incredible........ #mindboggles

This before peacefully getting sent off for an elbow on Carlos Tevez, then earning two violent conduct charges for apparently kicking Sergio Aguero and attempting to nut Vincent Kompany. ED can only dream about what might have happened had Mario Balotelli not been restrained by team-mates.

Ryan Babel: I don't know, I think the ref was on drugs.

Babel hits out at Thorsten Kinhofer, who sent him off during Hoffenheim's recent defeat to Hertha Berlin. Fortunately for Kinhofer, he was not given the full Howard Webb Photoshop treatment.

Nathan Eccleston: I aint going to say attack don't let the media make u believe that was terrorist that did it. #O.T.I.S. ['Only the Illuminati Succeed'].

The Liverpool youngster marks the 10th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist atrocities by blaming the masons. Way to cosy up to the club's American owners, Nathan.

And the winner is... JOEY BARTON!
