Voting in the KUMB.com 2007/08 annual awards has now begun.

This year our annual polls consist of ten categories, full details of which are below. To cast your votes (which should take you no more than 60 seconds), please complete our entry form.

Hot favourites for KUMB.com's Player of the Year include Rob Green, Matthew Upson and George McCartney, whilst our current Young Player of the Year - Mark Noble - will be up against some stiff opposition from the likes of Fred Sears and James Tomkins this time around.

The full list of nominees (excluding Player of the Year, Worst Player and Most Improved Player which feature all squad members) are as follows:

Young Player (21 or under at start of season)

Jack Collison
Mark Noble

James Tomkins

Best/Worst Signing

Henri Camara
Kieron Dyer
Julien Faubert
Freddie Ljungberg
