    leavin out bruce,vidic and rooney just think ferdinand and stam would be a better partnership. cannot leave out cantona and v.nistelrooy just for his pure predatory instincts in the box. rest of the team picks itself. i wonder how many utd teams will have becks in the startin 11?

    that was actually pretty easy.

    i had to put two strikers on, because leaving either Fowler or Torres out would be sacrilage.

    also Gerrard on the right will cause issues, i know, but we never really had a great RW over this period bar McManaman, and to compensate i'll put him on the left where he'll be just as effective. also Gerrard's most prolific season was from the right.

    :D It's only when you do things like this you realise how poorly Villa have had it at RB over the years, Mellberg is in the first XI for the beard alone anyway.

    personally, i don't think there's much doubt.

    that's not a dig at Utd; i just absolutely adored Arsenal's Invincibles; and smattered with the likes of Adams, Seaman, Dixon and Cesc in his prime, it'd tear everyone a new one IMO.

    Utd's once off would come a close enough second to be fair; there's not really much between them at all.

    Maybe; a couple of Arsenal's players don't have the longevity of their United counterparts but at their peaks their stars burned very brightly.

    I will pick mine, but i have left out Gary neville as i just dont like him anymore. if i had to pick the best 11 on terms of overall through the years performances, i would move irwin to left back, though i think evra is well on his way to becoming uniteds best left back ever. Irwin was something else.

    Van Nistelrooy has to be in there, anybody that leaves him out, is being a little bit daft IMO. Schmeichel is being run very closely by van der sar now, another season like the last 2 and i think he can lay claims to replace the great dane. had we signed him in 99, not only would we have had a better chance of winning another cl in 2001 and 2002, but also he would be the undeniable number 1 in United history. Van Der Sar has been up there with one of Fergies best signings IMO and i really really rate the lad. Schmeichel gets the nod, only on service time. most of the other positions are not up for grabs, its easy to pick really bar maybe center half, but i think the 2 lads have taken defending to a new level. hard to leave beckham out, but well, he is up against a player who became the best player in the world in the same position during his time at united. could play ronaldo up top and relegate rooney to the bench, but i think this team is spot on.


    It sickens me to leave eric out also, but i think rooney and van nistelrooy did more on the pitch, though cantona was my favourite player ever for united.

    I'd have Friedel between the sticks because Given never really played for Blackburn.

    Like yourself I'd have Shearer and Sutton as it would be criminal to name anyone else :)

    As much as Bellamy worked wonders at the club i'd have Wilcox on the left Wing.

    I am going to include current players - so i'm putting in Dunn and Nelsen.
