Did you people know the award is given by the fans and it's 100% their decision? Whether justified or simply the feel like voting for DP, what does it matter? It's not like this thing has any bigger meaning. It's simply the people choosing the player the felt made the best progress or sumthing..
I would've voted for DP too because Camo is performing good week in and week out and everybody knows and appreciates his efforts. He doesn't have to get an award for it every week..
Why does it all matter now... Next month's another contest. Vote people, make a difference.

Amen to that
The Bologna match has been by no means the only game that Zlatan has been sub-par but for whatever reasons no-one remembers when he plays poorly or misses sitters. When it comes to Del Piero however, everyone wants him out of the first team even though his strike rate is better than Ibrahimovic's and he's less selfish. Alex has been just as good as Zlatan so far this season IMO, but in the eyes of many the latter can do no wrong.
No one denying that Zlatan makes a lot of mistakes Stu, but Ibrahimovic has had much more influence in our games. Sure, he might not have as many goals, but you know just as well as I do that without the "assist," there is no goal. Zlatan has contributed many more "assists" than Del Piero and has been much more of a force. Its either Del Piero is involved in the match, or completely invisible. Sorry to say when Del Piero has not scored, its been mostly the latter, except for the Bologna match. Zlatan is certainly not playing up to his potential, neither has Alex, but the former has been the better player thus far.
Compare how often Ibrahimovic has played to how often Del Piero has and tell me if it isn't obvious why the former has had in your opinion more influence. Zlatan has been less impactful than Alessandro in alot of games so far this season but still DP has been the one replaced by Capello. Don Fabio's favouritism towards Ibra has alot to do with why the Swede is making more of a difference than Del Piero.
I really do not think its favortism on the part of Capello, rather, he fields the player who makes the bigger impact, and subs the player who is struggling to make an impact. Why would Fabio favor one over the other? Is Capello just the opposite of Lippi in this aspect of coaching? Just because Del Piero is more active in the matches does not mean he will make a bigger impact. I don't think you can look too much into this "favoritism" you speak of. Good coaches will play who has the better form, no question. I don't understand why its not easy for some of you to realize Zlatan has played more towards his potential and is more of a force than Alex. Its fairly obvious to me.
