You're just mad cause I said I didn't know you, now you're trying to get yourself known.

I'm not arsed about being known just found it funny because you're Real team would not beat that Premier league team.

And you think that team would beat Real Madrid easily or something? Can't see that at all.

If we saying that all the Prem players are inform then eys i can see them ebating Real Madrid.

But that's a simple way of putting it isn't it. No way is that Premier League a lot stronger than the current Real Madrid team.

Both quality sides but I'm seeing nothing that distances one from the other.

I'm not saying the Prem team will smash them 10-0 i cann se them winning like 2-1 or maybe 3-1 not a massive distance between them both though.

The EPL team is as good or better in every position compared to the RM team.
Obv it won't be a stroll in the park for them but quality wise the EPL team is better.

You managed to make an embarrasment of yourself once again.How can you think the current RM team can win the all time premier league XI?The latter is better at EVERY position.

Didn't you say Nzogbia was better than Mata or Cazorla

By form.


Schmeichel vs Valdes - Schmeichel
Neville vs Alves - Alves
Ferdinand vs Pique - Ferdinand
Adams vs Puyol - Hard....Puyol
Cole vs Abidal - Cole
Scholes vs Xavi - Xavi
Viera vs Busquets - Viera
Giggs vs Iniesta - Iniesta
Shearer vs Pedro - Shearer
Henry vs Villa - Henry
Ronaldo vs Messi - Messi

Premierleague 6 - 5 Barcelona

Would be a very good game though....

???Hell no.

If this team is based on players in their prime then that 4-4-2 would be played more like a 4-3-3 or a diamond at the least because Scholes would be attacking and creating and Vieira would be a link man and box to box at the very least. Henry would be all over the attacking end and only Shearer would be parked so the it wouldn't really be a 4-4-2, only on paper.

You cannot be serious...

Actually I am very serious.

I would have to go with Barca's team. Although the EPL team is composed of the greatest talent in it's prime, Barca has more if not equal talent. In addition, Barca's style and team composition would destroy any togetherness the EPL would have. It would be a close game though.

@ Bold: I disagree.

Cole is alot better than abidal.....

Abidal had a phenomenal season last season. The best LB of the year imo.

I thought this was about each player in there prime! If so then Abidal isn't anywhere near the quality of Cole even in his worst game during his prime years.

I think Neville is rated due to his longevity of doing a "job" more than his actual ability.

Ability wise he doesn't touch a player like Alves.

I mean over their career though.

So far, Ferdinand has had beastlier times than Pique.

I think Cole has had better seasons than Abidal also. Not with what he has won......but Cole could easily be at Barcelona and have achieved what Abidal did anyway.

As some people have already said, that Barca midfield would dominate that of the EPL, the overall result might not be a 3 or 4-0, but I think that Barca team has massive advantages over the EPL team.
If you swapped Scholes for a midfielder that could actually tackle, then you would stand a better chance, otherwise they would just walk all over you, the only other thing I could think of to help the EPL would be to push Ronaldo to a RW position, for Henry to drift out to the left, and to swap Giggs for Gerrard or Keane and play a 4-3-3.
Even then the chemistry of the Barca team and it's almost telepathic understanding would edge it, in my opinion.

Adams in his prime > Puyol.

I just realised that Ahly said Abidal was better than Cashley.

I hate the cunt but no way. And Ferdinand is better than Pique.

Its not always about 'tackling' its about intercepting and reading the game.

Ferdinand at his best was actually phenomenal. I imagine if they had a good manager and the outlined personnel the PL team would play 4-3-3

--------Schemiechel

Neville Adams Ferdinand Cole

---Scholes Vieira Giggs

---Ronado Shearer Henry

As for the idea that Scholes can't tackle, that's bollocks. Go and watch United's game in Camp Nou in 2008, or almost any United match from 2006/07, he could certainly tackle, he just tended to wound his opponents when he mistimed his tackles.

Would Ronaldo work hard enough, if they could not get the ball back. But i think it would be a great game to watch.

Probably not, that's part of the reason I think the Barca side would win, the Premier League side doesn't really have the players to deal with Barca. I do think one could build a team from all Premier League players who could beat them though, if you were specifically targetting beating them.
