Turkish Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 Indeed. Now excuse me while I find that razor blade and bottle of Jack Daniels. Actually, no, lets make it Glenlivet. Only pussies top themselves. No wonder she wants rid before you are even married FFS.
Colinjb Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 Back on topic...... Svensson in our post 2005 team. I can understand his inclusion, but it would purely be a sentimental pick. His post relegation form, while fine at times, was just too overshadowed by his fragility. Had he not been so fragile relegation may not have been a concern in the first place.

Saint_clark Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 I may be completely on my own here, but who is the Mills you're talking about at left back? (EDIT: nevermind, you meant centreback, obviously Matt Mills).
Thedelldays Posted 10 June, 2011 Author Posted 10 June, 2011 my point was those who are playing today.... neimi and svenson would get creamed
hamster Posted 10 June, 2011 Posted 10 June, 2011 I'd have loved to see bale, lallana, Walcott play together behind the main striker. Rickie would get a lot of chances. And miss most of them..
Thedelldays Posted 10 June, 2011 Author Posted 10 June, 2011 They aren't footballers today so that's alpine style stating the obvious. Is this dream team playing in the championship or league 1?! So basically it's just saints now plus bale, Walcott, surman, jones and Baird in the squad, it is what the OP states....if we could pick players still playing today that played for saints since relegation..what would it be.... neimi and killer would get creamed.....

whizzpop Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 Not often this happens, but I agree with Charlie here. How could you miss out Pulis? and AND Jermaine Wright, personally i would drop Idiakez and Quashie to make way for both.

david in sweden Posted 13 June, 2011 Posted 13 June, 2011 No-one would keep Niemi ahead of Kelvin? Don't get me wrong, I love Kelvin, but for me, Niemi is quite possibly the best keeper we ever had - believe he played for us first half of our first championship season I wouldn't want to disagree with that but..some of us recall a fellow called PETER SHILTON who played for us in the mid 1980's .. recognise the name ???
david in sweden Posted 13 June, 2011 Posted 13 June, 2011 and possibly Tim Flowers, got his first England cap whilst with us, great keeper and a great bloke. of course SHILTON was also the most-capped Saints player ever...49 caps between 1982-1987
NickG Posted 13 June, 2011 Posted 13 June, 2011 in my time of watching (mid 70s onwards) Shilton would have a strong case for being our best player.
Crazy Diamond Posted 13 June, 2011 Posted 13 June, 2011 Looking back on the 0 - 0 draw with Wolves on the opening day of the 2005/06 season, I wonder what ever made me think we could get promotion straight back up to the Prem that season. I don't know if anyone will agree... But what a terrible squad we were left with. I don't think we were much better a year later under Burley, but it was an improvement of sorts. Then again, some terrible teams have been promoted before. That Derby team were a bunch of also-rans and were figured out very quickly. Sheffield United were mainly a bunch of dressed up thugs, somehow managing to blow a ten point lead over the relegation zone teams in 06/07 to go down. Add to that Stoke, how they got promoted and finished 12th is to my mind almost baffling given they had players like John Halls, who today signed for Wycombe Wanderers.

I don't know if anyone will agree... But what a terrible squad we were left with. I don't think we were much better a year later under Burley, but it was an improvement of sorts. Our team in both seasons was good enough for promotion, we just made some terrible cockups, we ditched Redknapp and replaced him with Burley a decision that took us from just outside the play offs to the brink of a relegation fight and then in the following season Burley effectively dropped the leagues leading goal scorer from the side in January in all my time as a saints fan I've never been so baffled as I was by the sight of Rasiac warming the bench for half a season. Following that the wheels came off financially so we were basically screwed.
