20 Years Of The Premier League

[Cripps_orig]

**** knows how Cantona tops the list of nominations. Man Utd have such warped views of their players compared to football fans in general - that's positive and negative. He was terrific & a cult hero but no world beater. I know the votes are purely Premier League but as a general point, how many European games - away ones especially did he ever have a half decent match in?

Best striker is laughable - in what way is Cantona a better striker than Van Nistelrooy who probably trebled his goal ratio? I'd have said Andy Cole was a better PL striker for them too and Solksjaer and Rooney.

Good Player - Absolutely
Good Striker - Not particualrly
Top 10 PL players - I wouldn't have thought so.

and are defenders inelligble for any of these awards?

Best defender award maybe?

Also agree on Cantona.

How the ****ing hell can Steve Stone & Ashley Young be on the list of wingers, but no Kinkladze? I know who I'd rather have parted with £20 to watch.

I loved Peacey & Barnes, pheonmenal players but can't even remember them playing in the P.L. I suppose Pearce was in Euro 96 so he must have done.

I can think of better suggestions for an award than 'celebration' -

Beckham's hit & hope lob sticks out a mile amongst the other 9 goals for shiteness. Le Tiss got 10 better PL goals than that on his own, so did Bergkamp & Henry. Limpar's lob (season before PL) was twice the goal of Beckham but no c**t ever shows that.

Put Irwin, Mc Grath & Le Tiss in my team, pity Zola had to miss out as I like all of them. The rest were Arsenal and deservedly so.

Ive voted

Best team i picked was

Seaman

Dixon Adams Campbell Winterburn

Ljungberg Petit Vieira Pires

Bergkamp Wright

Was tough choice between Overmars and Pires but Pires got it cos he didnt go to the ****s. Likewise Henry and Wright.

So much talent back them compared to today tbh is so hard to choose.

[Young Guns 11]

My team:

Seaman

Neville - Adams - Terry - Cole

Ronaldo - Vieira - Keane - Giggs

Henry - Bergkamp

[Niall_Quinn]

Vieria and Keane would be too similar. Vieria and Scholes, that would be immense.

[Coney]

Vieria and Keane would be too similar. Vieria and Scholes, that would be immense.

Vieira and Gerrard.

[Cripps_orig]

Alan Shearers best XI

Schmeichel

Neville, Vidic, Adams, Irwin

Ronaldo, Vieira, Scholes, Giggs

Cantona, Henry

He didnt pick himself on purpose although he'd be in most peoples team seeing as he was the best striker around

No RVN?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Rooney's overhead kick wins best goal

Bergkamp vs Newcastle and Henry vs United came 2nd and 3rd.

[Master Splinter]

RVP's flying volley versus Charlton woz robbed. As usual.

Disgusting that Neil Mellor wasn't represented on that shortlist.
