Can't see the point in swinging crosses in.

Would be better off hitting daisy cutters.

Collins and Dunne look very solid and composed.

Collins positioning is excellent.

Milner! Gotta be on target that.

Letting three defenders start together for the first time is a strange decision.

However; would I want Shorey ahead of Warnock? Never.

I would perhaps go with Cuellar and Dunne in the middle and perhaps NRC on the

right back or something. Not sure about Collins at all.

You'd rather put NRC at right back than put a centre back who you ain't seen much of at centre back?

MON>>>>you.

Beye played against McFadden once and got absolutely ruined.

O'Neill might be aware of this...

I notice you have put L Young on the LB list but you didn't put olaf in as rb...hardly an unbiased approach to selecting the true team of the 00's..think olaf would have been a very close bet at rb which wouldve changed the cb selection...

I have gone for freddie on this one though... wrighty was a good little player but think he mainly shined in 90's

That's the reason I didn't put Olof at right back, didn't want him winning that and not being available for his best position and the position he played in most which was centre back.

Young missed out in the right back poll, so might as well stick him in this one as well.

I had Staunton down as a centre back post 2000?

Only 3 months until the end of the year.

Time to pick a best of the 00's Villa XI...

I've come up with a list of whom I believe to be the main candidates.

(The person you pick should ideally be somebody who excelled post 2000, rather than excelled previously and crossed over into post 2000)

So who was our best left back from 2000 to now??

Only run it for 4 days...

(Luke Young included because he played there quite a bit for a season)

Remember, this is purely for what they did post 2000.

Gareth was only here 18 months. Mellberg for 7 years.

Laursen's ran away with one position in the original poll.

Need a conclusive poll for his partner....

Olof or Gareth??

Will run it for 6 days...

Would people say it's getting clear enough in Mellberg's favour or should there be a run off between him and Southgate?

There is 129 votes for Laursen that could go to either side after all...

This one's getting closer and closer....

Personally I voted for Mellberg, because I think we would have got relegated if he wasn't around.

Laursen.....although what i'd do to make a better vote is.

Have this running for 24 hours, then making another poll but just remove the person with the most votes, therefore everyone then picks a 2nd CB!

If somebody runs away with this poll and it's close for 2nd, then I might have a 24 hour run off between the two that were close for 2nd.

Only 3 months until the end of the year.

(The person you pick should ideally be somebody who excelled post 2000, rather than excelled previously and crossed over into post 2000) Worth noting that Ehiogu was with us for 10 months after 2000 and Southgate was with us for 18 months...

So who was our central defender from 2000 to now??

TWO CENTRAL DEFENDERS WITH THE MOST VOTES MAKE THE TEAM

Seems to be the best way to do it without it getting really complicated. If anybody has better suggestions then I will do it....

Poll open for 7 days...

Since Mellberg played a full season there he could actually be considered and he would be right up there for me.

I didn't wanna put him in, in the case he won and couldn't be considered for the central defence poll

Still think Delaney would have won though...

Stone played right wingback for a while under Gregory, that's why I included him.

Yea, Delaney should walk away with this, with 100% of the vote.

Only him and Young on this list were good players at right back and Young ain't been here long enough.

Delaney's slide tackling was awesome.

Poll for the goalkeeper if you haven't voted on it...

Only 3 months until the end of the year.

So who was our best right back from 2000 to now??

Poll will run for a week.

Cant believe Tommy got so many votes after chucking one into his own net at The Sty.

I thought that was Enckleman?

Enkelman let Mellberg's throw in past him at The Sty when the Blues beat us in 2002. Im sure you have seen it a thousand times.

Enkelman also spilled the ball at the feet of Geoff Horsefield when the Blues beat us at Villa Park in 2003.

Sorensen dropped one into his own net when the Blues beat us at Villa Park in 2004

Sorensen chucked one into his own net when the Blues beat us at The Sty in 2005

All four of our defeats to the Blues in the Premier League have been because we have virtually scored goals for them.

Seriously, what the **** was wrong with those two keepers?

Whoa, Heskey looks big, strong, fast, skillful and dominant in those videos...

I want that Heskey please.

Indeed.

Not until I went through our number 1's of the last 10 years that I realised how poor they are.

Only 3 months until the end of the year.

Interesting

It fluctuates.

There was a time when people were calling Young world class and people were saying Milner was anonymous, overpriced, not good enough and why didn't we sign Bentley instead...

Young had a poor end to the season, Milner had a better one, then Milner did more in 20 minutes for England than Young did in 70 and that's why we have our poll results now...

Give it 3 months and Young will probably be miles ahead again in a similar poll.

Beautiful football!!

Delph just did something in the build up to the penalty that Barry could never, ever do.
