"Premiership Team of the Year"

I agree with most of them. However:

- Ruud Van Nistelrooy - I don't think he's had a great season to be honest.
- Lauren - Wtf. Scored a stunning own goal though, it must be said.
- Howard - I don't think he's been that good. I'd go for Lehmann definitely. Ha. Jaaskelainen, Niemi, or maybe Hislop.....Nah
- Cole - Nothing to do with who is a better player at all, but I think Bridge has had a better season than him.

Thoughts?

[Edit: Given's been pretty good]

Howard - On his original form yes, but to the latter of the season, not been so great. Sir Alex's team selection confirms this.

Lauren - You make me laugh, done nothing this season at all.

Campbell - Had a god awful season, I would have put in Woodgate, he's had a good season.

Terry - Most definately

Cole - Prfft, Bridge anyday, purely for his celebration against Southampton and goal against the Gooners.

Pires - Yeh but there's a lot of cometition, mainly Duff and Gronkjaer.

Ruud - Had a pretty poor season, I wouldpick one of:

Beattie
Gudjohnsen
Angel
Forssell

Mu'uh!

I think Nicky Hunt deserves a mention for right back. And Ian Walker in Goal. How many premiership goalkeepers do you know of that have scored an over head kick? Top stuff Ian.

Given should be in net or possibly Robinson or Maik Taylor, Shearer up front, even Forsell or Angel deserve a place more than Nistel this season. Have my own little choices for right back but some of those are hilarious, the typical anal faced generic public, god bless them.

Tch, may as well have stuck the Arsenal team sheet up there

I pretty much agree with the selection, but not Lauren. There are plenty of better defenders than him; his style is not at all spectacular, and only a few displays of skill got him in there.

I thought you were talking about me until I saw the Liverpool bit....

Most of the changes that I suggested....

Great minds think alike...

Obviously some quicker than others tho... :P

I'd have Jamie-I-can't-spell-his-last-name-Liverpool-bloke instead of Lauren.

I'd have:

Shay Given or Jucci (sp?) Jaaskelainen instead of Tim Howard.

Wayne Bridge (maybe) instead of Ashley Cole.

Alan Shearer instead of Ruud van Nistelrooy.

And maybe Okocha would get in there somewhere as well.

I was feeling generous...
