No way the likes of Rivieire should escape the Hall of Shit just cos we wheeled someone's Grandad onto the pitch in injury time to run the clock down. 49 minutes ago, joeyt said: Would have Remy instead of sissoko in Yorkie's team too Yeah, fair enough to swap a midfielder for an additional striker cos we've had some very good ones. Remy probably just about wins it but peak Carroll, peak Wilson and peak Rondon are all in the conversation. I mean there's an argument to include 2011-12 Cisse by these rules. I tried very hard to find somewhere for the ear-fingering greasy soft shite but sadly it wasn't to be, as much as I love him. First name on the teamsheet was Hatem, like.

Kid Icarus Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Dubravka Beye Lejeune Coloccini Jose Enrique Tiote Cabaye Ritchie Ben Arfa Carroll Remy Not necessarily the best, Ba should be there instead of Carroll, but definitely my favourite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well atleast not Merino. He controlled the game better and was generally more involved. Had a bit more finesse imo and was great at winning balls in the air.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 24 matches 1 goal 1 assist v 93 Matches 18 Goals 14 Assists I liked Merino but come on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I stand by my decision I liked Cabaye but thought at times he could be quite poor. Where as I think Merino was/is more consistent and apart of the game more(though obviously he only played for us for about half a season). Cabaye sometimes played further forward too which would help him with some of those stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Haha, nice to see more people were inspired by making a best/worst Ashley era XI. Maybe split it off in one or two separate threads though? I think we’ve got best pretty much covered and it’s a matter of taste. We have much more shit to swivel through for worst XI though Edited November 17, 2021 by Unbelievable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Actually I was thinking of these two, which is slightly different. I'm sure it'll have been done before but don't see the harm in cracking another one open seeing as Ashley's gone now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Had a part-time job in Primark while completing me master’s dissertation (it was as miserable as you’d think) and he came in with a mate. Obviously we spoke to him - and got a photo on the shop floor. He had baskets and baskets off clothes so someone on tills politely asked him why. Said he was buying it all to ship back to Argentinian orphanages. The bloke’s a class act. Hope he enjoys his retirement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, Tiote’s, and Bruno’s recent fourth v Brighton - all for different reasons. Desperate for Jonas to feature in some ‘Newcastle Legends XI’ like we did for Harper’s testimonial. Would not surprise me if he could still do the full 90. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
