Could we have a final poll for the manager who would manage these?

It's a good idea and I wish I'd thought of it at the start...but I want to get this all wrapped up tomorrow so we can start the next one off.

But I'll add something in when that's finished to chuck a manager in on this one (it'll all become clear in the end).

Ronaldo, anyone who gets applauded off at opposition grounds really needs to be number 1.

Raul
Henry

There were lots of candidates but I went with those three as they would work with ronaldo and messi

 

[Lycan]

Batistuta batty goal

What is wrong with you?*

*Meant in the nicest possible way

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Eh?

Just because it should be bati gol??

 

[Lycan]

Batty goal?

Come on now. :icon_lol:

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Really?

Seriously?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Batty for me is just a vastly overrated midfielder.

Your are deliberately trying to read something that isn't bloody there mate.

 

[Lycan]

I'm not reading anything into anything. It's just a hilarious mistake.

On yerself though Paddy. Don't let me stop you.

The final scores are in and to no-one's surprise:

Ronaldo - 72
Thierry Henry - 26
Marco van Basten - 17
Alan Shearer - 14
Gabriel Batistuta - 8
Dennis Bergkamp - 8
Raul - 6
Francesco Totti - 6
Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 6
Eric Cantona - 5
Didier Drogba - 4
Michael Owen - 3
Robert Lewandowski - 3
Roberto Baggio - 3
Gary Lineker - 2
Luis Suarez - 2
George Weah - 2
Filippo Inzaghi, Wayne Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Diego Maradona, Miroslav Klose - all 1

Which makes our final team:

-------------------------Gianluigi Buffon-------------------------


Philipp Lahm------Franco Baresi--------Fabio Cannavaro---------Paolo Maldini


--------------------------Patrick Vieira------------------------------------


-----------------Andres Iniesta---------Zinedine Zidane-------------------------


---Cristiano Ronaldo---------Ronaldo------------------Lionel Messi----------------------

Not bad, eh?

Would our second choice team give them a game, I wonder...

---------------------------Peter Schmeichel-----------------------------

Javier Zanetti---------Carles Puyol-----Rio Ferdinand----------Ashley Cole

----------------------------Andrea Pirlo----------------------------------

-------------------Xavi---------------Paul Scholes------------------------

--------Ronaldinho---------Thierry Henry---------Ryan Giggs------------

And if we just restrict it to UK and Ireland:

---------------------------Neville Southall-----------------------------

Gary Neville-------Rio Ferdinand--------John Terry---------Ashley Cole

---------------------------Roy Keane-----------------------------

----------------Frank Lampard---------Paul Scholes------------------

--------David Beckham----Alan Shearer--------Ryan Giggs-----------

Which brings me on to the sequel thread! Same premise, but we'll just be going UK and Ireland. There'll be a couple of differences that I'll explain when I set the thread up (in the next 15-20 mins) and hopefully we get just as much, if not more response.

Thanks all for playing and debating!

 

[FrankMunro-371]

A great thread Dan, but can you allow us oldies to select the great players from years gone by?

 

[Alan]

No bite in the 2nd team's midfield. First team actually looks to have a realistic balance to it.

Top work, Dan. Some team that would be!
