EWB Premier League XI - The Full-Backs

[DavidMarrio]

I went with Ashley Cole at left back and voted for other at right back. Went with Rob Jones who was an amazing right back for us throughout the years but was unlucky that injuries shortened his career.

[MJB]

Gary Neville and Ashley Cole.

Both utter cunts but the best two full backs by a mile.

Denis Irwin at cover for both sides would be awesome though, great defender.

[9 to 5]

Aye, Cole and Neville.

[Gazz]

Pearce > Cole

[Dingle]

And once again, I can't go for the easy choices with Dixon/Neville because I never witnessed either play a whole lot. Obviously saw Neville for England but I'm going to have to choose a RB based on the past couple of seasons. Cole is easy for LB, having seen him for Arsenal (couple of matches here and there), quite a lot for Chelsea and obviously for England.

So RB... I really struggled with this one because whenever I get asked about who I think the best RB's are in the world, it's either Dani Alves or Lahm for me, but okay, prem... I'm gonna have to go for Micah Richards. Strong, dominant and lethal going forward (something that Neville probably wouldn't be too great at). He had that off season last year, but since then he's been solid this year and although he's decent at CB, he's often unstoppable when he piledrives forward.

[Dynamite]

I went for Neville and Irwin. LB was a tough one to pick as I don't really think there's all too much between Irwin and Cole. Went partisan in the end and chose the one I enjoyed watching the most.

[Adam]

Lee Dixon and Ashley Cole. Cole is just world class and this has been a pretty barren spell for left backs. Irwin isn't too far behind though.

Dixon was better than G. Nev in my opinion. Just an all round better defender and part of a truly brilliant defensive unit at its best for Arsenal.

[Matt]

Cashley and Dixon, just ahead of Neville. Neville would have probably got the nod had he not been mediocre for the last 4-5 years of his career.

[MJB]

Neville wasn't really the same after a bad tackle against Bolton in 06-07.

[Berober]

Cole may be the better LB, but John Arne Riise

[DavidMarrio]

Cole may be the better LB, but John Arne Riise

Gotta agree with the for Riise. The amount of screamers Riise scored for us is unreal, I want him to start doing it for Fulham.

[stokeriño]

Riise is immortalised in our song about why we love Salomon Kalou, don't you know.

Oh?

[stokeriño]

Riise is immortalised in our song about why we love Salomon Kalou, don't you know.

Oh?

He comes from the Ivory Coast, Kalou, Kalou,

He don't do coke like Adrian Mutu, Mutu,

He crossed the ball in from the left

It landed right on Riise's head

THAT'S WHY WE LOVE SALOMON KALOU

[Jam]

Ashley Cole is a nailed on left back for me, Right back I've gone for a different approach and gone with Lauren. Had a solid spell and was a key player in the Invincibles season. Always seems to be one who gets overlooked

[DavidMarrio]

THAT'S WHY WE LOVE SALOMON KALOU

Why did you have to bring up that own goal, painful watching it back thinking WHY!!!! Tbf it was a good finish like. Riise just wanted to share the love after the numerous times we had advanced in the Champions League during that period at the expense of Chelsea, Garcia's "wonder goal" was better than Riise's own goal though

[Dingle]

The Traore own goal is the best O.G that Pool have ever scored.

My Chelsea-supporting mate sings that song a minimum of once a week. And he hates Kalou!

The Traore own goal is the best O.G that Pool have ever scored.

With the exception of Chris Brass I think it may be the greatest own goal anybody has ever scored.

I dunno Popovic's was a cracker.

Just in-case you don't know who Chris Brass is . . .
