Just for the giggles! If you were to start a team who would you start it with and why? Please don't answer this if you plan on being a jerk off and say something like Mike hunt from lakeside!

Minw would be Patrick Viera with Henry coming in a t a close second! Viera just dominates the midfield and can have an effect on every game! PLus he brings that leadership mentality that so few have!
this shouls be a good topic .Look forward to reading your responses!

Oh yeah Shearer would be a close third of course all he does his scores goals!!!!!!

I'm biased as heck (GO GUNNERS), but there's little doubt that of the EPL teams/players that I would select Thierry Henry #1 and Patrick Vieira #2.

Here's some statistics to ponder according to the OPTA INDEX:

EPL

GOALS -- James Beattie (21), Thierry Henry (19), Ruud van Nistelrooy (17), Alan Shearer (16), Mark Viduka-Gianfraco Zola-Michael Owen (13)

ASSISTS -- Thierry Henry (12), Eyal Berkovic-Geremi-Ryan Giggs-Dennis Bergkamp (8)

SHOTS ON TARGET -- Thierry Henry (66), Nicolas Anelka (49), Michael Owen (45), Ruud van Nistelrooy-Harry Kewell (41)

DRIBBLING -- Fabrice Fernandes (184), Thierry Henry (157), Jesper Gronkjaer (147), Jonathan Greening (138), Joe Cole (126)

CLEARANCES -- Sami Hyppia (358), Darren Moore (327), Dean Richards (324), Olof Mellberg (312), Sol Campbell (310)

CROSSING -- David Beckham (80), Fabrice Fernandes (69), Laurent Robert (65), Ian Harte-Geremi (53)

TACKLES -- Sylvain Distin (107), Patrick Vieira (95), Dietmar Hamann (94), Per Frandsden (93), Lucas Neill (92)

DISCIPLINE -- Alan Smith (81 Fouls, 9 Yellow Cards, 1 Red Card), Sean Gregan (68-9-0), Gavin McCann (62-10-0), Gareth Barry (60-9-0), Marc Vivien Foe (66-7-0)

SAVES -- Brad Friedel (125), Mark Schwarzer (121), Kasey Keller (119), Jussi Jaaskelainen (109), Dean Kiely-David James (104)

I would first like to say that man that was a pretty good score for a team that was "not in good form right now", and not able to beat man u anywhere becuase they are just too dominant. Givin we still have one game to go but man if i were one of those people talkin all that stuff bout how man u is just too strong and blah blah blah maybe tuesdays score will open your eyes to what most people out side of the united states already know, for it seems that the U.S. view of soccer outside its country for the most part consists of only the epl. Anyways since i have noticed predominantly english league rosters out there for the top 11 then let me give you mine!

RS Rivaldo
LS Raul
CAM Zidane
DM Flavio C.
LAM Mekelele
RAM Figo
RD Salgado
CD Helguera
CD Hierro
LD R. Carlos

Now that would be a team to dream about.....oh wait wake up they already exsist!!!

p.s. how did people like Ronaldhino, and Peitiet make it on the starting 11 before ZIDANE arguably the best player in the world for the past three years

Hala Madrid!!!
