No chance for Robert, all the potential under the sun but other than the odd screamer never showed it. His first season was canny aye, but other than that nowt. Him or Ginola on the left. Ginola hands down. Instead of just disagreeing wi mine, hoy ya own up lads was the purpose of this thread.

No denying the kids talent like but on principle he wouldnt get anywhere near another Newcastle team real or false, in my life.

Woodgate was good aye, but far to injury prone for meself. I grew up around the area when Peacock etc was playing and for me the service he put into the club far blows Woody's so he made the cut for me. Batty's years or Tiote's 10 games, Batty prevails at this moment in time. Tiote simply not in for the same reasons as Carroll and Nolan, yet. Bellamy near a Newcastle squad again, be it a make believe one like this. No thanks. Edit - As for not having Clarky in, behave.

Some of Joey's passing and crossing has been almost Beckham-esque the vision and precision. If it wasnt for his checkered past he would definetly be in contetion for an England friendly squad atleast. I doubt though, because of his past he will ever be seen in an England shirt again, shame like. The full midfield and the attacking two were all MOTM for me, couldnt fault any of them.

Hello boys, nae idea how I havent heard of this place before, might be because I've lived in dark ages for years like. Wanted to put something worthy of reading in me first post so came up (or actually pinched from numerous other sites) this idea. Basically its the Toon's best squad of 23 in the Premiership years, who would you lads have in and controversially miss out? Here's mine, Goalkeepers 1. Shay Given 2. Shaka Hislop 3. Pavel Srnicek Defenders 4. Steve Howey 5. Phillipe Albert 6. John Beresford 7. Jose Enrique 8. Darren Peacock 9. Steve Watson 10. Aaron Hughes 11. Fabricio Colocinni Midfielders 12. David Ginola 13. Rob Lee 14. Gary Speed 15. James Milner 16. Nobby Solano 17. David Batty 18. Lee Clark 19. Peter Beardsley Forwards 20. Alan Shearer 21. Les Ferdinand 22. Faustino Asprilla 23. Andy Cole Very strong squad in my eyes, Midfield and striking options I think any of the Premier League clubs would be hard to rival them. Carroll is definetly slowing getting himself into contention to be in there but who he would replace I would have nae idea. Same goes for Nolan, really warmed to him since last season myself and seems like the kind of bloke who after he retires will live up here, seems to really really care. Honorable mentions also go to Vennison, Fox, Gillespie, Woodgate, Sellars, Elliot & Bernard (1st time)
