My crazy idea is instead of playing for the charity shield, have an allstar game b4 the season begins. Not sure how you could split them up... possibly according to location of the team

Yeah an all star game sounds much better. How about Brits vs the Rest? I.e. the foreign stars in the Premiership!

Depends what you mean by 'Brit'.

Scots, Welsh and Northen Irish players are British but they're also foreigners in the Premiership.

UK vs. Rest Of World


North vs. South
North 2002-03: Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Leeds, Blackburn, Bolton, Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Everton
South 2002-03: Aston Villa, Birmingham, West Brom, Arsenal, Chelsea, Charlton, Fulham, Tottenham, West Ham, Southampton


East vs. West
East: Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Arsenal, Chelsea, Charlton, Fulham, Tottenham, West Ham, Leeds
West: Blackburn, Bolton, Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Everton, Aston Villa, Birmingham, West Brom, Southampton


Any other ideas?

I'll second that....!!!
These teams have earned the right to be there.

Or were you guys thinking of let's pick 30 or so for each team unlimited subs and go off to Hawaii for a party..

In the 50's they played a couple of 'All star' type games with Great Britain playing the Best of Europe.

The first game was won handily by GB 6-1.
The second was 3-1 for Europe, after GB scored first. Mainly because “The continentals had learned how to shoot and move the ball around.” according to Billy Liddell my childhood hero. Only he and Stanley Mathews played in both games for GB.

Be fun to try it now but just imagine the logistics.

alright so lets suppose brits(the guys from the british isles) vs. the foreign legions

Brits

Owen Shearer

Giggs Keane Gerrard Beckham McCallister

Ferdinand Campell Cole

Seaman

would this be a good line up for the brits, and what would a lineup of foreigners look like

mccallister? are you serious?

We all know that the British team is England with Giggs. Keane is from Eire so doesn't qualify (and would probably complain about the training facilities anyway)

The foreign legion would completely stuff us.

Van N. Henry

Pires Viera Veron Kewell

Riise Desailly Hyppia Ziege

Barthez
