Premiership top ten

Who in your opinion would make an all time top ten in the English Premiership?

All time what top ten players or teams

Players

mine would be:

1. Eric Cantona
2. Thierry Henry
3. Gianfranco Zola
4. Pieter Schmeichel
5. Roy Keane
6. Alan Shearer
7. Paul Scholes
8. Cristiano Ronaldo
9. Dennis Bergkamp
10. Ryan Giggs

Yes a fair few Utd players but I thinks its justified on the number of times they've won the title.

Henry ahead of Shearer?
Ronaldo doesnt deserve to be in there, even Andy Cole would be classed ahead of him

Top 10 players

1. Eric Cantona
2. Alan Shearer
3. Dennis Bergkamp
4. Ryan Giggs
5. Peter Schmichal
6. Thierry Henry
7. Giafranco Zola
8. Robbie Fowler
9. Roy Keane
10. Dennis Irwin

Jesus that list really pains me just shows how crap Liverpool have been

Top 10 teams

1. Manchester United - Champions season in season out
2. Arsenal - Brought a different stlye
3. Chelsea - Changed the game completly
4. Liverpool - Consitant
5. Aston Villa - Consistant
6. Blackburn - COuld have been better if they had did not go down
7. Newcastle - Too Inconsistent
8. Leeds United - Brought a diffferent way of playing in the brief time they were awesome
9. Tottenham - Solid top half (usually)
10. Everton - Always been there

imo Ronaldo does deserve a spot. How many of the players in the Premiership have at their time been regarded as one of if not THE best player in the world?
Yes he's only been great for two years. But in those two years he's scored 65 goals (42 last year), Andy Cole who was regarded as one of the Premierships most prolific strikers only ever managed a high of 34. Ronaldo has twice now been player of the year in the Premiership & the golden boot winner last year.
We think of him now as this money grabbing t**t but I think he's up there as one of the best, if he does stay in the Premiership for a few more years then I think his position would only rise.
Henry won the title twice, runner up in the Champions league, all round a more mecurial genius than Shearer but I've stated before that I've never been a huge Shearer fan due to his wandering elbows that always seem to get forgotten.

but you put cantona 1st?

Cantona changed the game in this country and transended foot ball so yes he is number 1

team wise I'd go with the following:

1. Man Utd
2. Arsenal
3. Chelsea
4. Liverpool
5. Blackburn
6. Everton
7. Newcastle
8. Tottenham
9. Aston Villa
10. Leeds

same 10 teams just slightly different order.

This was actually pretty tough, heavy United "bias" but like Macc said its understandable.

1: Eric Cantona
2: Ryan Giggs
3: Dennis Bergkamp
4: Alan Shearer
5: Thierry Henry
6: Gianfranco Zola
7: Pieter Schmeichel
8: Roy Keane
9: Paul Scholes
10: Andy Cole

I was gonna put Gary Alexander Neville in, but can't be arsed arguing today.

1Mighty Nyron[ok thats out the way]
2Fowler
3Gerrard

Why are people only picking attacking and midfield players lol. Not one person has picked a Tony Adams or Ferdinand yet.

I dont think they have not had too much impact

tony who? rio who ?

I picked mgithy nyron mate check ya facts

Because they always stand out and as a whole have more influence on a game.

As for teams over the whole of the premiership.

1: United
2: Arsenal
3: Liverpool
4: Chelsea
5: Aston Villa
6: Blackburn
7: Newcastle
8: Tottenham
9: Everton
10: Leeds

Suppose, but if you had to pick an actual team of players you would have to include defence.

1United
2Pool
3Arsenal
4Leeds
5Chelsea
6Newcastle
7WestHam
8AstonVilla
9Everton
10Southampton

In that order i put leeds 4th cause of some of the players i.e. smith ferdinand kewell viduka e.tc e.t.c

There is no way on this planet that Liverpool have been the 2nd best team of the premiership era.

But they been a big influence when they won the champo and uefa cup they brang a lot of attention to them and the prem ...plus im biast

Bazza even me as a staunch Liverpool fan I have to agree mate Liverpool are lucky to be included in the top 4 of the era with argubly Newcastle in the mid 90s and Blackburn in the early 90s giving more.

I suspect young JNR may be looking through rose tinted glasses

I think as a whole Liverpool deserve a top 4 spot, but don't see how anyone could put them above Arsenal (who have won it 3 times, and been consistently there), that's some bias you have there Jnr. lol

I agree but if they were to be moved it would certinaly be down not up Jnr gotta sort it out mate.

The arse and united have been the best teams by a million miles in the last 10 - 15 years

Hey somebody has to rate liverpool no one else will

LOL i put them 3rd, Im pretty sure that's me an AVID UNITED FAN, rating them.

Not to worry Bazz ""This Year"" we will win the leuage ""this year""
