Liverpool; 4
Tottenham; 2
Saudi Sportswashing Machine; 1
Aston Villa; 1

Shows the dominance the top four have had over the PL, I think. Still, I think we can look with pride on our distinguished Premier League past, and reflect fondly on proud footballing luminaries ,superstars such as;

Paolo Tramezzani!

Ramon Vega!

Mauricio Taricco!

Mbulelo Mabizela!

Andy Reid!

Sergei Rebrov!

Lee Young-Pyo!

Pascal Chimbonda!

And Didier Zokora!










What the hell were we thinking? :-&

Discussion for a different thread, but Lee Young-Pyo doesn't deserve to be in that list I don't think.

Too right. Okay he could be a bit ordinary defending but some games Lee looked quite classy - even our best player.

 

[Yiddo]

I thought this may have been picked from players this season.

Would have made more sense to be fair.

 

[Mulletperm]

Would have made more sense to be fair.

Why?

 

[Spaceman]

how can anyone have vidic there and not ferdinand?

 

[Mulletperm]

Cos he's better than Ferdinand (in my opinion)

 

[Spaceman]

which is laughable really

 

[totman]

Why?

Cos I cant be arsed to think of all the players it would take to make the list!

I liked YP, so I definitely wouldn't stick him in there. But how you can put him in ahead of Gilberto is anyone's guess... He probably managed to scrub the horrors of those memories from his mind

 

[Enter the Pitbull]

Mbulelo Mabizela!

OLDJOHN

 

[WookieD]

Old John was a ledge, you put that one back in the box son...

...Now how about

 

[Mulletperm]

which is laughable really

What would your top 5 for each position be. The reason I started the thread was to get some friendly banter going. It's all opinions

 

[totman]

OLDJOHN

Did they ever find the lad?

 

[ArcspacE]

Mabizela

LOL - He fcuked out massively back in the PSL

 

[Rossi22]

Top 5 keepers this season have been:

1. Hart
2. Krul
3. Vorm
4. Friedel
5. Al Habsi

Order is debatable, but I believe these have been the best 5 this season.
