    Had too much time on my hands at work this morning because of a typhoon leaving us locked indoors. Read an article about this year being the 20th of the premiership. The article had a best 11 but with so many players to pick I went a bit further and did a uk and Ireland v foriegner one. Again with so many players this then turned into a first decade and second decade split.

    Imagine a Four team tournament with the below teams, all players in their prime. Who would win, or who have I omitted/selected wrongly.

    British pre 2002 (4-3-3)

    Seaman
    Neville
    Irwin
    Adams
    Campbell
    Keane
    Beckham
    Le tissier
    S*****r
    Sheringham
    Fowler

    Foreign pre 2002 (3-4-3)

    Schmeichael
    Desially
    Stam
    Berg
    Vieira

    Giggs
    Rooney

    On paper in their prime, that would be four awesome sides.

    Not sure who would win like.

    Agree with the old foreigners to win, but only if they changed their formation, stuck Irwin on the left and a decent full back on the right. 3 at the back doesn't work!

    The old foreigners would win, nobody would be able to get the ball off King Eric.

    I'd actually change: Pires for Ljungberg, Owen for Sheringham, Hart for Given and Giggs/Scholes should appear in both UK & Ireland sides to be fair ;)
