    Can't get much better than that IMO. Although I would have a hard decision to make between Malbranque and Wright-Phillips but the former would probably have won out. He's a class act.

    I'd go with kaids team except for the defence and goalie. My back 5 would be:

    Taylor

    Samuel
    Cunningham
    Terry
    Bridge

    Cunningham has made rapid improvement in the last 1 or 2 seasons. He couldn't make the Ireland team for the World Cup and when Stan eventually retired people weren't happy with the Breen-Cunningham partnership. He has totally changed this season. At the start of the season Birmingham had about 8 clean sheets in 10 matches (?) with Cunningham in the team and as soon as he was unavailable the back four couldn't hold. He has been one of the most consistant centre half's this season. Soutgate, Toure and Woodgate have all performed very well this season but I have to be a bit biased and stick Cunningham in :) although thats not saying he doesn't deserve it.

    Samuel is a left back is he not? And sorensen has been awful imo, yet loads of people have him!

    Mine based on performances in the premiership this season:

    Howard

    Gallas
    Terry
    Toure
    Bridge
    Malbranque
    Lampard
    Gerrard
    Pires----

    Henry
    Shearer

    I know Gallas is not a right back, but he can play there and deserves a spot in the team.

    True, Saw Cunningham against Arsenal, made two mistakes (which he got away with) but otherwise flawlessly marshalled Birminghams all out defence who spent 90 minutes under pressure.

    Wouldn't say he'd out Terry or Toure this season but he's top 5 Centre half this season easily. If only he were 5 years younger.

    Cunningham has been Mr. Consistency for years and years... i dont think he has made a rapid improvement as such, it just people havent noticed him.. only because he is ireland's best defender - people take note.


    Some people may not know he was irish player of the year 1998
