Let's pretend there is a match on!

H'okay since we seem to be bored out of our minds lets say This weekend is Steve Harper's testimonial; Newcastle vs a Newcastle XI

The Newcastle XI will be picked by Harper comprimised of players Harper has played with over the years and managed by former boss Glenn Roeder

Newcastle
Harper
Simpson
Coloccini
Williamson
Enrique
Barton
Nolan
Tiote
Gutierrez
Best
Ranger

Newcastle XI
S. Given
W. Barton
P. Albert
A. O'Brien
O. Bernard
N. Solano
G. Speed
R. Lee
L. Robert
A. Shearer
T. Asprilla

 

Just imagine Colo and Enrique in the Newcastle xi instead of O'brien and Bernard, <drool>

 

That would be quite a team! They'd be in great company!

 

Not sure about Lee and Speed together in midfield, bit like Smith and Nolan, also no chance Asprilla with Shearer, it has to be Sir Les, they were awesome together.

 

I hope that is a joke? Nothing like each other and neither Smith or Nolan are in the same league as Lee/Speed were.
Though I do agree with Les up front instead of Asprilla, though imagine having the option to bring him on!

 

THIS TEAM OF 2001-2002 WOULD ABSOLUTELY DEMOLISH OUR CURRENT TEAM :

Given
Hughes O'Brien Dabizas Bernard
Solano Speed Dyer Robert
Shearer Bellamy

Oh yes sir!!!

 

Not sure Robert could cover both wings

 

Meant to put *Solano in there.

2002-2003 team is arguably better though :

Given
Hughes Woodgate(Jan onwards) O'Brien/Bramble Bernard/Griffin
Solano/Kerr Dyer/Jenas Speed Robert/Hugo Viana
Bellamy Shearer

 

I was thinking that Ferdinand wasn't around when Harper became a 1st team goalkeeper

 

Harper was in the squad as the 3rd Goalkeeper behind Shaka and Pavel if I remember correctly before Shearer joined.

 

I don't think so, our current defense is much better that this one and I think the current players are even more fitter and would win.

 

wheres beardsley??

 

Blacker than knight do you go on so much pun?
