Noisy Neighbours - the Man City thread

[mulhuzz]

In fact I'm not sure that a 2015 Henry doesn't get into team somehow!

[horseplayer]

Absolute comedy some think yaya should not be in

Tikay will be pleased with the post count rising

I can begrudgingly see that Henry deserved a place and he shouldn't overlooked. Gary Neville has said on a couple of occasions that he wished he'd had been as good as Zabaleta. You drop a '99 Neville and Irwin in the league today, how would they fare? They were both pretty solid if unspectacular, but offered little going forward, and the pace of todays game would cause them problems IMO.

Adams wasn't a part of the 04 team, it was Campbell and K Toure at the heart of the defence. Hence Vinny K has to be in there. Amazed anyone would have Lehmann over Hart.

Why? He's got some competition with Viera, Keane and Scholes plus others

Would you have a 2004 Pires or a 2015 Silva? A 2004 Campbell or a 2015 Kompany? Henry or Aguero? Vieria or Toure? Gilberto Silva or Fernandinho? Bergkamp or KDB? Lehmann or Hart?

I would take the Arsenal player in every single instance here, and I'm not even an Arsenal fan. One of the greatest teams in PL history compared to what is a debatable best team in a very average premier league year. Silva might get in above Lindberg but he'd be the only one.

Who takes the pens?

Guess that's a minus for Irwin being included with all these geniuses ahead of him 😂

Defo Lehmann > Hart btw, Hart nothing more than quite an average keeper compared on world stage.

Lehmann almost, but not quite as good as Schmeichel imo. And if he's a clear choice so is Lehmann.

What makes me sad is that not a single Newcaslte player, of any of those eras or any other, would get into either team.

Shay Given might make the bench, as might Shearer. Sigh.

Shearer's biggest mistake was not going to United. Kinda glad he didn't cos he's a cock

Shearer had his chance...

[mulhuzz]

Why?

He valued playing for his hometown club, the shirt he'd dreamed of pulling on since being a boy.

He also knew he'd be the best player at Newcastle ever. He knew he'd break records and the fans would adore him.

Sometimes it's ok to be a big fish in a decently sized pond

Anyway, back to Man City - who is managing these merged teams and if the answers aren't SAF and Arsene I'll explode.

[George2Loose]

Because he would have some silverware to go with his talent. Probably a LOT of silverware. Could've played for his hometown club when he was shit like most do

[hhyftrftdr]

People forgetting how dodgy Lehmann could be? He'd pull off a world class save, then spill the resulting corner in his own net. I think Hart has come on loads in the last couple of years (since Pellers dropped his arse), and he often produces for us in the biggest games in both domestic and Champions League games. Just stop flipping punching the ball, Joe!

[mulhuzz]

Also, on reflection, Shearer starts up top in both teams. Most Prem goals ever.

I guarantee you he gives up 20 trophies at MUFC for one at NUFC. came close a couple of times but wasn't to be.

I don't think you'll understand my saying that without you being from north east, but it's true.

Not sure if:

A) he's taking the pens
B) a Newcastle player who makes the team, or
C) managing the teams!

Really? It wasn't the money then?

Anyways, Aguero, is he really any good? Is Pellegrini just keeping the seat warm? When's Yaya's birthday?

Shearer can't start up top in these teams regardless of how many goals he scored in his pursuit of that one Winners Medal.
