Alright, as the end of the season approaches I thought it would be fun for us to create a premier league best 11 as voted for by us.

A poll only gives 10 options, so we will have to do it the old fashioned way, nominate who you think the best keeper is and we can total who has the most votes. So this doesn't go on forever I will set a deadline of Friday morning for your votes to be in.

Similar threads for other positions coming up!

Can you vote for players on your own team? If so i vote Cech, if not then Given, closely followed by Reina.

Oh fgs clarify the ground rules cuz despite the word 'premiership' peeps will break it.

This season for me - Reina
All time English - Clemence or Shilton
last ten years - Schmeichel
Most consistent this season, well the stats say it - Reina.

And why the hell have man u got their current goalie, their defence buckles and he has no answer, the dood is useless. New goalie for Man U in the summer transfer market imho :)

Ben Foster has been touted as being good and having potential. Although if you look at Reina and Cech they're all the same age so there's some immense potential with them.

I thought we were voting for the best 11 this season. Red Nose would obviously win it if were best Premier League goalkeeper ever.

Oh and Cech is nowhere near as good as he used to be, hasn't been the same since the kick in the head :(

Sorry, current premier league players, and only ones that have featured this season. You can vote for your own teams players, but think and justify it, we are voting for a best 11, not the lineup of your team.

I am torn whether to vote for VDS or Reina, or go for a keeper that has had more to do. Isn't the mark of a great keeper commanding their defence so well they hardly have anything to do, but doing it even if they have been bored for 89 minutes? A keeper like that wouldn't have had many shots to save.

The OPTA statistics say Carson is the best keeper as he has made the most saves. However, having seen him at the Villa for a season and again when we played West Brazil Albion earlier this season ... he is utter gash.

The hallmarks of a good keeper:

Organises the defence
Distributes the ball well
Quick off his line
Good positioning
Can make a wonder save, even if it is the only thing he's had to do all match

For current Premier league keepers I'd say Reina ticks all those boxes and more. VDS is good, as is Friedel, but both are a little past their best. Cech was the best in the world before his kick to the head, but he protects himself a little too much now.

Plus bald > stupid hat anyday.

Van Der Sar most clean sheets only 23 goals all season and he missed some of them games so he is my pick.

Unless we vote on most obviously dyed hair when Almunia takes it ;)

vds. may not be the greatest shot stopper anymore but no keeper can organise the defense as well as he has. clean sheet record etc, though defnse played a big part he was organising them and he made some key saves during the games still

Man U have conceded 23 games all season and VDS has not played every game its not the same thing really.

Maybe a best 11 outside of the "big four" would be better, and more interesting. I can see people just choosing their team at this rate.

Jussi Jääskeläinen imo, plays for a rubbish side but keeps them in games singlehandedly. VDS in a close second.

Reina - Has a solid defense infront of him, when he is actually called into action he is made to look like a chump as he cannot seem to save for the life of him.

Cech - Never been the same since his head injury, similiar to Reina in the only reason he is hyped up these days is because he's made to look good by the solid defense infront of him.

how would that be more interesting? I'm trying to see what our opinions of the best premier league 11 is, not the mediocre premier league 11 :p

Really though Turamber, you are getting old and tired with this constant grudge.
