A time-space tear in English football allows the chance for the best ever Saints team to play the best ever Portsmouth team.
It's an envious task when picking from hundreds of Saints legends but could be that the Portsmouth team may feature very recent names.
Anyway are their any Portsmouth fans ready to make a challenge?
And can any Saints fans put up a stronger squad?
My Saints are as follows;
Peter Shilton -Keeper
Ivan Golac - RB
Mark Dennis - LB
Mark Wright - CB
Micheal Svensson - CB
Jimmy Case - CM
Kevin Keegan - CM
Nick Holmes - LW
David Armstrong - RW
Alan Shearer
Steve Moran
subs;
Steve Williams - Midfield
Budgie Burridge - Keeper
Alan Ball - midfield
Mick Mills - defence
Ken Monkou - defence
Ron Davies - forward
Danny Wallace - forward
ANY CHALLENGERS?

He'd always be in my side, only Matt comes anywhere near him in my eyes.

Agreed LD, but it is probably our age!
Controversially I nearly put Morgan in from the current team. Anyone (of my age!) agree that there is a bit of Bobby Moore about him? No higher praise

I forgot to put Dave Armstrong in my squad, unforgivable!
Yes, Morgan is certainly comfortable on the ball ACS, i'm not sure that he can tackle as well as Bobby Moore, but his passing range is better.

AndChannonScores / LD,
I know and it broke my heart but i picked a side that i feel would tear other teams apart and Mick (along with quite a few others) were left out.
My defence is tough and no-nonsense but from there on it's all attack with Case running the show in the centre.
I felt with Keegan running from midfield and Holmes and Armstrong running wide and feeding Shearer and Moran (and having a pop themselves) this was my ultimate team.
Both Shearer and Moran would take 2 defenders out forcing Portsmouth back.
If it was a European tie or Liverpool then my team selection might change.

CGO, I didn't really read the intial post before posting my team. If it was just a team to beat the present Skate line up it would be.
Tommy Forecast
Lee Todd
Davenport
Bennett
Olivier Bernard
Pulis
Lee Holmes
Ripley
Graham Potter
Ali Dia
Chicken George
As for present players, the one who stands out for me is Fonte, he's class. Shame he was cup tied when we played them last time, although they played Quincy Owusu-Abeyie in suspious circumstances so perhaps we should have sneaked him on.

Well that is a fair selection LD but i wanted to beat them by more than 5-0.

GK David James
Back four: Johnson, Scoular, Campbell,Herriedeson
Mid-field: Philips, Kranjkar,Kanu, Dickinson

They would see off any Saints eleven.

Alan Shearer couldn't get in our side and you write "Crouch"

Hey Jack, thanks for going easy on us and not including your big guns like Claridge and Knight.
