Kid Dynamite 5905 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) I can think of three periods during my time supporting NUFC when we had a genuinely European Class first XI and had the ability to beat any team we played on our day. Keegan 1995 Pav Barton Beresford Albert Gillespie Batty Lee Ginola Beardsley Ferdinand Shearer Bobby 2002 Given Bernard Hughes Dabizas Dyer Jenas Solano Robert Speed Bellamy Shearer Pardew 2012 Krul Simpson Santon Taylor Coloccini Tiote Jonas Cabaye Ben Arfa Ba Cisse Which was the best?

Tooj 17 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 We'd also be playing much better football if Keegan was manager of Pardew's current team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy 12 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Keegan's for entertainment value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarStripes 0 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I think potentially the current group can be the best. Mix the three and what's your best team? ------------------------Krul Beye---Woodgate---Coloccini---Bernard -----------------Tiote-----Lee Ben Arfa----------Ginola-------------Robert ---------------------Shearer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5905 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Beye wasnt in any of those teams and as good as Woodgate was we only got about 20 games from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Woodgate, regardless of how much we got out of him he is one of the best centre backs I've seen at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYD 0 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 The current team would get trounced by the 95 team. Yes I agree. The current team is no where near as good as the '95 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TicTacWoe 0 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Keegans team came closest to winning the league, played the best football and featured several of the premier leagues best players at their peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2188 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Keegan's. The number of "long passes" rules out Pardew's team for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Keegans. The annoying thing is not long after these sides peaked they were destroyed by the next manger not tweaked to push on. Apart from Pardews ofc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19819 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 the sbr and keegan lineups don't look right, only three defenders in them for starters; they're more a list of the better players that appeared in those eras. the keegan team was the best of my lifetime, the mot entertaining and the one that got closest to success. whether that sort of team would do as well today is another question. football has changed a lot since then.

Dr Gloom 19819 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Nobby played RB a fair few games mr thread factual accuracy policeman yeah, but you've asked people to compare the best players of those eras rather than the teams themselves, not including cloggers like peackock, howey, o'brien and bramble who played a lot in both sides. not that it matters much. general consensus is keegan's was the best.
