Interestingchoice of Best XI

[chocco boxo]

Most of us will be chilling on a Sunday, like CD after yesterdays result!

[Bearsy]

"There’s a difference between someone who can play football and someone who can play football."

 

Still a fvvckwit I see!

[capitalsaint]

good choice at left midfield.

[adrian lord]

No Channon or Alan Ball? Maybe they'd be on the bench.

[Tokyo-Saint]

I can't see Shearer being happy in right mid.

[Bucks Saint]

Not attacking enough for me. Interesting back four! Guess he never saw Ekelund play

[Cabrone]

That's a very strange team he's selected.

 

Shearer right midfield? Ostenstad left midfield

 

Benali left back above Dennis\Bale\Bridge

 

Flowers above Shilton\Niemi

 

Very odd.

[Window Cleaner]

not to mention the centre backs. It's just a team from a very brief period in the main with Keegan and Paine tacked on for good measure. Any real long time supporter would know that any 2 of Watson,Nicholl and Wright need to form the central defence.

[Crab Lungs]

No Vialli, Zola or Drogba?

[Golden Balls]

By the looks of it, he's not a massive fan. Which is fair enough. That is a terrible 'best XI'

[The Kraken]

Very strange XI. Not just formation, but I'm wondering how he knows just how good Keegan and Paine were given that he wasn't old enough to have seen either of them play for Saints. An all time XI is really only relevant for pleyers you can remember seeing live (which is why KK never gets in my all time Saints XI, I think I can remember seeing him just the once).

[Spudders]

Reading the comments left on the sun page, it's like people aren't happy these days unless they are having a b!tch at someone.

[ottery st mary]

For me he is a Saints fan. As is the family.

 

UNLIKE quite a few of the posters on this forum ...many who have never been to The Dell/St Marys.

 

Good on the Lad giving the mighty Saints a write up...

 

His Mother and Grandparents (film/TV) probably told him about some of our older stars. (Posters with some of the Saints teams of today and the greatest selection on here leaves a lot to be desired:rolleyes: )

 

Well done Craig David

Yeh,obviously he's too much of a star to use Youtube or buy any DVD's of Saints history.

Youtube and highlights DVDs; the very bastions of judging a player!!

 

:lol:

Just got a preview of that great Southampton fan and Millbrook Girl Fiona Phillips Best Sainst 11:

RM: Roberto Di Matteo

CM: Frank Lampard

CM: Gus

LM: Arjen

ST: Gianfranco Zola

I hate that woman with a passion.

[Golden Balls]

If a saints best 11 doesn't include Ron Davies or Channon its just wrong.

[krissyboy31]

Charles

 

Davies Knapp Gabriel Traynor (or Hollywood)

 

Wimshurst (or Huxford) Melia (or Burnside)

 

 

Paine O'Brien Kirby ( or Ron Davies) Sydenham

I'd have yesterday's starting XI ahead of those. By the time they had picked up their hobnailed boots Punch, Lallana and Gaston would be gone!!

[Cabrone]

Shilton\Niemi (can't choose them apart)

 

Mick or Steve Mills - Mark Wright - Michael Svensson - Mark Dennis

 

Terry Paine - Jimmy Case - Gareth Bale

 

MLT

 

Alan Shearer - Ron Davies

you are not alone

[The Kraken]

Or maybe people just aren't old enough to have seen them in action over any period of time and therefore have an informed opinion about how good a player they are?

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

He's so full of ****. I heard him tell Jamie Theakston that he was a Chelsea fan.

[Saint137]

Strange, when he was first "famous" he said he was a Chelsea fan in interviews.

Really?? Always thought he had promoted himself as a Saints fan. He even wore a Saints shirt on stage once during a gig.

[Avenue Saint]

He's so full of ****. I heard him tell Jamie Theakston that he was a Chelsea fan.

 

Think we'll believe him over you...

 

Especially as I grew up with him.

 

***t.

[krissyboy31]

Always!

[adrian lord]

Craig David has never been shy of telling people he is a Saints fan

[Glasgow_Saint]

He is saints thru and thru! His brother also posts on here....... Miltonroader07

[Avenue Saint]

Highly doubt it.

 

Judging by post history, maybe fudpucker and miltonroader share a relationship.... of some sort.

[Secret Site Agent]

He's so full of ****. I heard him tell Jamie Theakston that he was a Chelsea fan.

 

Nope always been a Saint Fan.

 

Are you sure you'll not confusing him with that paragon of vitue, worlds biggest saints fan and Millbrook girl, Fiona Phillips?

She became a Chelsea Fan as soon as we were relegated.

 

 

Any chance for me to throw sheet her way.

 

I Really, REALLY, hate that woman.

[Bensfcno1]

I remember before the 2003 cup final craig was interviewed and he said he couldn't wait to see Pahars do his stuff. Any saints fan at the time knew he was out injured!

[for_heaven's_Saint]

Where was he when we were sh*t? Not a peep for the last 7 years then as soon as there's a chance for some publicity he's number one fan.

[krissyboy31]

Think that's more to do with the media not having the slightest interest in us over the last 7 years and him for probably 5 of them TBH.

True, but I wonder how many games he went to in those 7 years?

You’re based in America these days but do you ever come to visit St Mary’s any more?

"I haven’t been able to get over this season but I went a couple of times last year in the Championship. I bought my mum three season tickets so she and a few friends can go to the games and I can always use them when I’m over there."

[pap]

My youngest brother is mates with Craig David's sister. That is all.

[aintforever]

He's so full of ****. I heard him tell Jamie Theakston that he was a Chelsea fan.

 

I remember hearing him say that on the radio, think it was during the 2006 World Cup. He was asked who he supported and said something like "being from Southampton I should support them but I'm a Chelsea fan".
