Carlos88 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) I love their sunlun legends thread and all the best sunlun 11s of the last 30 years. Cloggers and hatchetmen like Bally and Catts in there as well as likes of Reyna, Don Hutchison, Summerbee, Allan Johnston and Julio Arca . All talked about with misty eyed nostalgia about the good old days. None of them would get anywhere near our bench of our best 11 of the PL era. No shaming them man.

Expand Build like an all time prem squad of ours, a squad of 25 players. Philips might break into our second squad but wouldn't get much game time. He's their best.

Sima Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I reckon we could put out 4 XIs who would beat their best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Tbh we could probably (injuries aside!) put out an XI tomorrow who would beat their best: Wilson ASM Fraser Willock Shelvey Bruno Targett Burn Schar Trippier Dubravka ASM, Bruno and Trippier alone are on a different level to anything they could ever hope to field.

Billy Warthog Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I honestly do try and be objective when I read what's in that place, and in the past I've chuckled at the odd bit of fewm. But this... this is on another level to anything I've witnessed over the years. Every other post now drips with so much vitriol, ratcheted up to screeching point to ward off their terrible emptiness. Please, mackems... for your own sakes... concentrate on getting out of your shitey league (perhaps starting next season). Release those straws you clutch to so hard. You'll feel better!

Chris_R Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 What even IS their best XI? Anyone want to have a go?

Guest Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Aye, he was a classy player. There’s a handful of players they’ve had that I’ve had here at the time they were there.
