    Yeah I always liked Le Boeuf as a player. I thought about Keane but I went for Scholes in the end. Try pick your own favourite team, it wasn't as easy as I thought lol icon10.gif

    Schmeichel
    G Neville
    Adams
    Campbell
    Cole
    Keane
    Scholes
    Ronaldo
    Giggs
    Shearer
    Henry

    Subs:

    Seaman, Irwin, Vidic, Vieira, Pires, Gerrard, Lampard, Fowler, Drogba

    it hurts to see so many Utd players in there, but you can't avoid it. you can't reasonably pick anyone but those 4 midfielders IMO, as well as Schmeichel.

    i heavily considered Irwin, and i would have picked him probably, but i just couldn't bring myself to put 7 Utd players in the starting line-up. :D

    and it's a toss up between the two really for the better full-back really IMO, so it wouldn't damage the team too much.

    i almost put Fowler in, because i momentarily forgot about Henry. but leaving him out would've really been moronic.

    Bendtner. Ahead of Shearer and Cantona.......

    I see..... It must be for his prolific strike rate.

    Oh.

    Gary Breen played in the Premiership so the team really picks itself.

    Gary Neville? :mad::(:eek:confused:

    I found a solution to that problem. You can just put Irwin in there because Irwin played right back sometimes. Or another alternative is to put Dixon at right back but I preferd the Irwin solution. :):D;):cool:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,909 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    I can only assume that Emerson is a novelty nomination in the same vein as Breen and Bendtner. Also, Petrescu at left back?

    Anyway, I'd go with -

    Schmeichel

    Irwin
    Cole
    Adams
    Terry

    Keane (:()
    Gerrard

    Ronaldo
    Bergkamp
    Henry

    Shearer

    Subs:

    Seaman, Bruce, Vieira, L. Ferdinand, Le Tissier, Lampard, Zola, Sheringham, Giggs, Scholes, Kinkladze (token novelty inclusion)

    Nice to see Campbell getting mentions. Best CB in the premier league era.

    Bergkamp

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,670 ✭✭✭✭Wolfe Tone


    So the verdict is Schmeichel is the best keeper.

    Well not so much as Breen but yeah in a way. . So he's pretty much a nostalgia pick.

    He had good technique it was just his attitude that let him down. But with me at the helm I'd be able to get the best out of him.

    Petrescu was great.

    Yeah, but he'll play were I tell to him to play or he'll be getting a wage cut.

    Given that you have selected Boogies, Dia, Dundee and Jensen, I shall assume that this is an attempt to be funny ? Sorry, but it aint.

    Morrow, Dicks, Elliott and Jones played crucial roles at struggling teams. They were hard men, who played hard. As a Hammers fan, i can vouch for it that without Julian Dicks, the club would have been a yo-yo team.
