Saw this on Twitter and thought it might make a good thread here. Make your best XI from premier league players who have never won it.
I need some time to think of mine.

David Ginola.
What, 11 of him?Originally Posted by Giggles
He was all that came to mind.
Alan Shearer too, and Paul McGrath.
Shearer won it with Blackburn.
Ah yeah, forgot all about them. Had Newcastle in my head.
Harry Kane.
Fellaini
James
Carragher
McGrath
Desailly
Le Saux
Ginola
Gerrard
Xabi Alonso
Kewell
Zola
Kane
Quick draft. Avoided players from certain clubs and just targeted certain teams from certain eras. Early nineties Villa, turn of the century Leeds, late nineties Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham. I've definitely missed loads (nearly forgot the two centre mids).
Bale and Sanchez at their best worth a shout.
Suarez too.

FFS. Bale in for Kewell. Sanchez cleaning Zola's boots.
Pele
I've gone 3-4-3 with:
------Suarez---Zlatan---Zola------
Bale---Alonso---Gerrard---Juninho
----Carragher---Desailly---King----
----------------Given----------------
I almost had Shearer in but then remembered about Blackburn.
Mascherano somewhere in there, too.
Oh, and Phil Babb.
Modric.
TBF the midfield three if you were looking for balance could easily be Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and Mascherano. Should've won the league with Torres up top.
And anyone who overlooks McGrath is either a moron or a child.
Pogba?
Lol.
Pogba is currently the best midfielder in the world.
I am having Pepe Reina in goal, and then the rest picks itself so whatever.
Great banter.
Did Cudicini win one before Cech stole his spot? Fabrizio Ravanelli. Maybe Juninho as well.
He is a virus.
Yes, he's been good for a month, after 2 years of, well, shite. He's not Luca Modric.
What does a bullseye mean?
50 points a dart.
Or some top notch prizes.
Since OGS took over he's been the best performing midfielder in the world.
Whether he keeps it up is of course another matter. People only lol because of the Mourinho debacle - if Pogba were playing for Barcelona it'd be a different story. Him convincing people Pogba is shit was his greatest achievement.
@Giggles I presume assist, fuck knows why they chose that symbol.

I'm pretty sure James Beattie was the best striker in the world for a few months.
So what you're saying is that Pogba is just Michael Ricketts with a twitter account.
Alright Liam Neeson.
Pogba was also excellent at the World Cup and very good for Juventus (and extremely highly rated as a youngster at Utd). It's not like this is one random good month in a mediocre career.
He was even Utd's best outfield player for 95% of the time before OGS came in. People are just desperate for him to be bad.
I need to go back at some point and delete my good riddance Anthony Martial sentiments from the summer.
I can't deal with 'OGS' as a thing. You don't have Ice Cube as your manager.
Mourinho (4)
Randomlegend (2)
Lewis (3)
Martial (1)
Pepe(17)
So what we're saying is Newcastle are the best team in the league.
Still seething about that one.
I'm not seething, I'm broken.
I meant me.
It does look gangsta as fuck
