Your favourite Saints XI


Bad Wolf

Recommended Posts

Meh, bad weekend but for a bit of fun, probably been done already but what is your favourite XI? You can only use players who have played when you've supported Saints. Doesn't have to be the best XI in history, just players that you particularly like with 7 subs

 

I'll go:

 

________________________Kelvin Davis______________________

_________Michael Svensson______Claus Lundekvam____________

Alexander Ostlund_________________________________________Luke Shaw

__________________Jack Cork_____Victor Wanyama_____________________

Adam Lallana___________________________________________Djemel Belmadi

_________________Rickie Lambert___________________________________

_____________________________Grzegorz Rasiak_______________________

 

Bench: Fraser Forster, Jose Fonte, Inigo Idiakez, Jhon Viafara, Kenwyne Jones, Nathaniel Clyne, Dean Hammond

Niemi

 

Golac - McGrath - Steele - Dennis

 

Schneiderlin - Ball - Armstrong

 

Channon - Davies - Le Tiss

 

Subs : Flowers, Gabriel, Peach, O'Neil, Williams, Fisher, Lambert

 

Schneiderlin shades it ahead of Williams as I think there is greater potential in him.Just hope he does not do a 'Williams' and p!ss off to North London.

 

Honourable mentions to Paine, and Michael Svenson.

 

Hugh Fisher just has to be a sub for his part in the 1976 Cup success,from the bench.

Williams better than Morgan IMO. How can you leave shilton out?

Aren't these supposed to be 'favourite' XIs not 'best'? Shilton would be the best keeper (best player?) I've ever seen play for Saints, but he was decidedly odd (read David Armstrong's biography), while Kelv was a hero all through the relegation, administration, and promotions. Similarly Golac was great to watch but far too ill-disiplined in away games to be best ever RB. Terry Paine would walk into any all-time Saints team for anyone of my generation, but he was a horrible niggly sod - and a Tory councillor!

might be too young, it does say players you have seen :)

 

Just to be a pedant - no, it says players who have played since you've supported saints. Don't have to have actually "seen them".

Dodd, Fonte, Svensson, Bridge

 

Paine, Ball, Le Tissier, Sydenham

 

Ron Davies, Channon

::Edit::

 

********, forgot Marian Pahars I'll put him in on the bench ahead of Kenwyne Jones

 

You actually forgot Le Tissier. It might well be a cliché, but how anyone can omit him is anyone's guess. He's probably the first person in the all star XI for most people.

If I had to nominate a player just for a 'lol factor',then 'Chicken George' would be on the bench for that.
