All time Premiership XI

If you had to choose a team of all time premiership legends, who would you have on it?

Difficult one this.

                      SCHMEICHEL
NEVILLE     CARRA        CAMPBELL    RIISE

       BECKHAM   GERRARD   GIGGS
       
                        BERGKAMP
                HENRY         ZOLA

                                Seaman

Neville       Carragher          Terry            Cole
                
                  Keane              Gerrard

Beckham                                               Giggs
                  
                   Henry           Fowler

------------------------Scheichel

Babbel--------Carragher--------Desallise-------Cole

Ronaldo----------Gerrard-----------Viera---------Pires

-----------------Henry-----------Torres

Schmeichel

Babbel      Adams     Carragher

Gerrard     Keane     Scholes     Giggs

Zola

Henry     Shearer

                         Seaman

         Carragher    Adams      Terry    (how about that for a hard back 3!)
               
                          Keane
               
                  Viera         Gerrard       
 
     Barnes          Scholes            Giggs

Cantona----Henry

Cantona----Henry

But you're no United fan are you lad?

You'd end up with 8 men left on the pitch with Rio, Keane and Cantona starting.

But you're no United fan are you lad?

Tell me why they don't deserve to be there? 11 out of a possible 16 titles..

Tell me why they don't deserve to be there? 11 out of a possible 16 titles..

Rio's sh*t and Cantona would make Jackie Chan look like a pussy cat.

Tell me why they don't deserve to be there? 11 out of a possible 16 titles..

Firstly you've left out Pallister or Bruce to fit Ferdinand in. He's nowhere near the quality Pallister was, let alone Bruce. And you've selected Evra over Irwin, knowledgeable United fans, which you clearly aren't, would abuse you for that. Irwin is the best left back in the club's history.

Secondly you've picked Cantona over Shearer? Shearer was the greatest forward the Premiership has seen, anybody leaving him out is wrong though a few have gone with Liverpool players - showing their biases as well. Cantona was good, nowhere near the best this division has ever saw. Zola, Bergkamp, Le Tissier were all better forwards who dropped off.

And if you're going on titles, Gerrard wouldn't be in there at all. So that argument is pretty silly isn't it lad?

Schmeichel

Neville----Rio-----Adams-------Evra

Ronaldo----Gerrard----Keane---Giggs

Cantona----Henry

Get on your F***ing bike.

Just ban the c**t Res.

Agree with that, what a shocking choice of a team, even for a Manc I'd expect better.

And what about Brian 'Chocolaty' McClair?

Disturbing lack of Fowler in this thread. That man was unstoppable.

don't want to open a can of worms here but to add to Eem's comment about the lack of fowlers inclusion, putting aside his current employers what about Owen ?

Schmeichel

Anyone but Neville----Carra-----Adams-------Anyone but Evra

Barnes----Gerrard----Alonso---Giggs

Torres----Rush

Fixed it for ya, ya manc c**t.

So hard to be unbiased, i just want to include half of Liverpool's premiership legends but this is mine:

                                  James/Schmeichel

Gary Kelly               Adams                HYYPIA                   Ian Harte

Beckham            Keane/Vieira           GERRARD/Scholes       Giggs/Overmars

                          Henry             Shearer/Bergkamp

there are loads of others could name them for ever but this is my best ever (trying to be 100% unbiased)

Sorry James is not even in the same class as Schmiechel. I wouldn't have him near any all-time 11 because he's a F***ing joke.

I'd go with

Schemichel

Neville, Carragher, Adams, Cole

Gerrard, Keane/Vieira, Giggs

Henry, Shearer, Bergkamp/Fowler

how in the world people havent included big sami is unbelievable to me!

........................ .........Schemichel
....Neville............. Pallister...........Adam s........Irwin

........................ ..Shearer.........Henry

That being objective would be the best all time prem xi

how in the world people havent included big sami is unbelievable to me!

Because this wasnt a 'lets all pick our favourtie players' thread it was or i thought an honest appraisal of the all time best players since the premier league was formed.....can some people not look past their own bias and be honest?? people including Torres are stupid....hes been here not even 3 years for christ sake....

F**k off. Just because he has only been here 3 years, he has already established himself as one of the most dangerous ever marksman in the Premier League and if someone including me wants to include him in our team then we fully well can.

Although i didn't include Sami in my team, he has been one of the best backs since the league began and held manure pretty well last year!

You don't even have one Liverpool player in your team!! FFS, Manc tw*t. Go back to jacking off over Ronaldo "highlights" tapes.

Okay then hesbighesred, let's go all "honest appraisal" on your ass then. Let's look, honestly, at Torres, in comparison to your two chosen strikers, eh?

Torres' (P.L.) strike rate is - a goal every 1.39 games: Shearer's (PL) strike rate was - a goal every 2.04 games: Henry's (P.L.) strike rate was - a goal every 1.45 games.......them's the facts.

Now, the chances are, you'll use the 'longevity' argument but i'll put this to you: if Dalglish, Pele, Best or Maradona had been able to have appeared in the Premier League for only three seasons; would they not have made your team? What 'cut off point', in terms of seasons played, are you using to gauge excellence?

By the way, calling your fellow Reds "stupid"?

Who would you have instead? Im starting to much prefer RAWK to this place you can atleast have a grown up conversation over there here its like a bunch of angry 12 year olds who foam at the mouth whenever you give praise to anyone outside of liverpool...

Ill explain my selections for the fanbois out there:

Schmichel is clearly the best keeper in the premier league era (which is what this article is asking for)

Neville most have him in their teams at right back so nothing contraversial there..

Pallister was one half of what many consider one of the best centre back pairings in this league and others have selected him to not just me...

Adams was a collosus for Arsenal and a great leader of men...easily deserves to be there...

Irwin well name a better left back at the top level for over 10 years?

Ronaldo is the only player from these shores to ever win the worlds best player award and has broken nearly every record in the book in his time at United..the current best player in the world and regarded one of the best foreign imports to this day....whats the problem here??

Roy keane....are you saying he wouldnt make an all time premier league XI??? ask our captian who his hardest opponents were....

Vieria....same as the above..Keane and Vieira were two warriors of the premier league for years...and will be remembered as the most feared central midfield titans for years to come..

Giggs....dosnt need explaining most if not all agree hes one of if not the greatest players in the premier league....and by most i mean pundits current and former managers players etc...hes highly respected...name a better left winger in the premier league era???

Shearer was a goal machine and is the current all time premier league top goalscorer...easy selection..

Henry is in my opinion the best import to this league and was and remains in a class of his own...led the scoring charts in England for 5 years running whilst bagging up to 20 assists along the way season after season...league of his own no striker past or present touches him....

OK. Explain why Gerrard isn't there.

7/11 United players. Are you taking the piss? 

Well United have won 11 of the 16 premier league crowns there have been since the premier league was formed so its hardly surprising theyd have more players in this sort of team than anyone else really.....hardly rocket science...

He can't ! he's as biased towards the team he supports as we are to Liverpool !

OK. Explain why Gerrard isn't there.

Because Keane and Vieira in the era of the premier league have been the 2 most feared central midfield players without question....they dominated midfields for years whilst winning league titles along the way...Stevie would tell you himself he dosnt compare to those two yet and probably wont until hes led his side to the title...Vieira and Keane both led their sides to back to back titles...in Keanes case 3 in a row....if an independant panel were picked to select an all time prem eleven ill tell you now Keane and Vieira would be picked without a moments hesitation...

If Ronaldo is there because he has had many records and regarded as one of the best foreign imports... how about Torres?

He can't ! he's as biased towards the team he supports as we are to Liverpool !

Erm..i just did.... :

If Ronaldo is there because he has had many records and regarded as one of the best foreign imports... how about Torres?

Ronaldo was at United for 5 years winning 3 league titles in that time as well as the champions league..winning the leagues golden boot and the coverted world player of the year award as well as back to back player of the year award titles....Ronaldo to this day remains the only player from these shores to win the world player of the year...the ball'on dor and european golden boot all together...for those achivements alone he deserves his place in the premier league hall of fame as hes accomplished such heights that no other player ever has...

Torres has not even finished top goalscorer yet and has been here less than 3 years...hes not won single title at the club either....to compare him to what Ronaldo achieved is rather silly at this point as he simply dosnt match up....if he wins what Ronaldo did both personally and collectively with the team then he would enter the equation....until then Shearer and Henry are way above him in the pecking order.

I guess that's fair but Torres did break the record of being the most profilic goal scorer with 24 goals in a debut season. In the same season, he's scored in 8 consecutive home games and had 2 consecutive home hat-tricks. He topped it all as being the goal scorer in the Euro 2008 final, ending the la furi roja's wait of 44 years and did finish 3rd last year.

Well, i guess he hasn't won any titles at club level but 58 goals in like what? 87 games? is a fair stat to be proud of.

F**k off to RAWK then, half of them on there don't even go the F***ing game and are a bunch of anoraks.

And for fucksake what the F**k is a fanboi?

And instead of being a Sky generation fan - give us a an all-time 80s football league XI then?

Here's mine

Grobbelaar
Nicol
Kennedy
Hansen
Lawrenson
Souness
Whelan
Johnston
Barnes
Dalglish
Rush

And I bet it would beat your premiership team, let's face it Souness would kick F**k out Keane and Viera all on his own.

Giggs....dosnt need explaining most if not all agree hes one of if not the greatest players in the premier league....and by most I mean pundits current and former managers players etc...hes highly respected...name a better left winger in the premier league era???

John Barnes. Next.....

Ryan Babel 

John Barnes. Next.....

 

Giggs....dosnt need explaining most if not all agree hes one of if not the greatest players in the premier league....and by most I mean pundits current and former managers players etc...hes highly respected

He's also an illegitimate with no birth certificate, oh and he also has aids.



I agree with the John Barnes statement. Just because his career wasn't as long doesn't mean Giggs is better than what he was.

Finally, if you prefer RAWK then just do one and stop constantly complaining about how you feel its better than here. Although RedCafe is more suited to you.

Ill explain my selections for the fanbois out there:


Gerrard....dosnt need explaining most if not all agree hes one of if not the greatest players in the premier league....and by most I mean pundits current and former managers players etc...hes highly respected...name a better attacking midfielder in the premier league era???

That's a bit better.

Because Keane and Vieira in the era of the premier league have been the 2 most feared central midfield players without question....they dominated midfields for years whilst winning league titles along the way...Stevie would tell you himself he dosnt compare to those two yet and probably wont until hes led his side to the title...Vieira and Keane both led their sides to back to back titles...in Keanes case 3 in a row....if an independant panel were picked to select an all time prem eleven ill tell you now Keane and Vieira would be picked without a moments hesitation...

Hang on a minute there soft lad, Keane may have led United to back to back championships but Vieira didn't with Arsenal because the Gunners have never won back to back Premier League titles. 98 was followed by United in 99. 02 was followed by United in 03. 04's unbeaten season was followed by Chelsea in 05.

Speaking of 05, didn't Steven Gerrard lead Liverpool to European Cup glory in that year, something neither Keane or Vieira did during their time?

Hasn't Steven Gerrard win Player of the Year as well, something Vieira never did. Didn't Steven Gerrard win Young Player of the Year back in 01 after helping Liverpool to a fantastic treble. I don't recall either Vieira or Keane winning the PFA Young Player of the Year award, do you? Truth is Gerrard would walk into Premiership XI and is a much better player than Vieira ever was. He's better than Keane was, but Keane comes much closer to him.

Most people on this forum can give praise to other teams when needed, it's just when some dickhead comes on here, praising the manc cu*ts 24/7, it's going to rub a few people up the wrong way.
Don't like this forum? F**k off then, no one wants to hear it.

So why don't you?......

F**k off with your rickets.

Just for a bit of fun if anyone wants to come up with a team and bench of the last decade.

Mine is:

                            Given

G. Neville     Carragher     Terry     A. Cole

C. Ronaldo     Gerrard     Scholes    Giggs

                 Henry        Owen


Sadly I have 5 Manc related players and only 3 that were among our ranks.
Picking Owen may raise a few eyebrows but from 2000-2006 he was top notch...

My bench:

Reina, Cech, Ferdinand, Vidic, Lampard, Vieira, Pires, Van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Beckham, Hamann, Zola

Funny, Owen wasn't even in the Premier League for part of that time you mentioned he was top notch.

Surely an all star Premier League side must include the entire Premier League i.e. starting from 1992.

He was with Newcastle in 05-06 no??

Surely an all star Premier League side must include the entire Premier League I.e. starting from 1992.

Grand dosent matter.. Include before 2000 so.

Now there's a F***ing team and it would tw*t that lot above.

And stick the premiership up your arse, overbloated, money-obsessed sh*te. Part of the reason football isn't as good as it was is because of the greed of the premiership.

Rant over!

Oh and Scholes really is not that good.

Scholes is a fantastic midfielder. Passing ability that can match Xavi and Alonso's. I would say he's better then Gerrard in his prime but he can't tackle though.

                 Reina
  Neville Adams Hyypia Cole
              Makelele
    Ronaldo Gerrard Giggs
            Henry Fowler

Scholes is a fantastic midfielder. Passing ability that can match Xavi and Alonso's. I would say he's better then Gerrard in his prime but he can't tackle though.

You have an awful dislike for Gerrard mate (that much we already know) but there's no F***ing way, as long as your arse points South, that Paul Scholes is, was or ever will be better than Stevie.

This.

Johnson Hyppia Agger Arbeloa
              Didi Alonso
       Suarez Gerrard Macca
                 Anelka

A part of me dies inside every time I see Gary Neville mentioned as a great player.

All about opinions really. Xavi thinks he's the greatest midfielder of the last 20 years and Iniesta rates him as one of the greatest midfielders around.

Sure he's a proper c**t but the way he's still playing at the top flight at 35 is admirable.

I do think I should give Gerrard more respect, he's a fantastic player and leader but I guess the last 18 months he's been poor which has changed my opinion on him.

Topics merged.....again. Next time it will just be locked.

I find it difficult to find a team but Bergkamp, Henry, Gerrard, Vieira, Keana, Beckham, Shearer, Giggs, Schmeichel, Hyypia, A. Cole, Alonso, Fowler, Zola, Ronaldo, Reina and many more have made such a huge impact in the league throughout the years.

All about opinions really. Xavi thinks he's the greatest midfielder of the last 20 years and Iniesta rates him as one of the greatest midfielders around.

Sure he's a proper c**t but the way he's still playing at the top flight at 35 is admirable.

But Zinedine Zidane believes Steven Gerrard to be the best player in the world Even Kaka has said the same!

I don't want to do this because I don't want to put any filthy Mancs on there 

Definitely would have to put Henry, Vieira, Gerrard, Shearer, Ronaldo and Bergkamp in the squad though.

It's all about opinions. Gerrard was argueable the best player on the planet 18 months ago. Although I think Messi or Ronaldo would say something different.

But in the last 18 months Gerrard has been poor. Scholes has been a lot better and a lot more consistently last 18 months and he is 4 years older, infact it was last month Xavi said he was the geatest midfielder of the last 20 years.

I'm sure Gerrard will get back to his deadly best if his groin injuries clear up but till then I've felt he's been very poor, by his high standards.

I changed my opinion that if they were both in their prime, I would take Gerrard over Scholes.

Creating a premiership team is difficult, so many top players who you could pick.

But you're no United fan are you lad?

Ha haa.

How bout an anti-manc 11.

Love this type of thread by the way.

Gerrard all day. More to his game and can actually tackle unlike the bungi bush Scholes.

Even Scholes at his very best is still not a patch on Stevie G, Stevie has everything you need in a footballer and much much more, comparing him to that manc little twunt really pisses me off 

I wouldn't exactly call Gerrard poor in the last 18 months. True, he has some really sh*t games in that period but just because he hasn't been scoring like back in 2008/2009, doesn't mean he has been a poor player.

It's also called the All Time Premiership 11 and not the Last 18 Months Premiership 11 and a Steven Gerrard at prime or overall in his football career, he's generally way better than Paul Scholes at prime.

Bad news for Paul Scholes is, he can never be as good as Gerrard but the good news is, he can try. 

                       Reina

Sagna       Adams      Ferdinand    Irwin

Ronaldo      Gerrard    Lampard      Giggs

                 Shearer    Henry

Scholes will never be better then Gerrard, we can agree there although Gerrard is not "way better", just slighty better. Although I think Scholes is more consistent. Even at the age of 35 he is still a very important clog in a title challenging side. Gerrard has been poor last 18 months, i don't think anyone can say different there.

Ronaldo      Gerrard    Lampard      Giggs

                 Shearer    Henry

Sagna best right back since the premiership began? He's good but not quite that good IMO. Rest of that team seems spot on, although I would have Hyypia over Ferdinand but it's a close call.

Schmeichel
Babbel Carragher Hyypia Cole
Viera Alonso
Ronaldo    Gerrard       Giggs
Henry

Subs: Reina, Ferdinand, Vidic, Keane, Ginola, Shearer, Fowler

I know he didn't play for very long in the PL but Babbel was truly immense for us in 2001, such a shame that he got ill.

Marcus Babbel was a truly great player, I still have the shirt with his name on it 

Best right back in the prem is very hard to decide and I am not picking the manc twunt so I am not going to pick my team until I have decided on one

Lee Dixon mate.

Never really rated Dixon as a really great player was thinking of putting Martin Kelly in or do you think it is too soon

Nothing more to be said.
