This week, for the symbolic selection of the 13th round of the English Premier League team, for the second time in a row, Chelsea player Geremi entered the squad, four of his club players are from Newcastle, and two representatives are from the Man City team.
This time, in goal, after recovering from a stomach injury and demonstrating a fantastic game against Arsenal, the Irish national team and Newcastle club goalkeeper Shay Given would stand between the posts.
In defense, there would be the aforementioned Chelsea legionnaire from Cameroon Geremi, who scored a wonderful penalty goal against West Ham. Alongside him, would also play Newcastle club defender Craig Moore, Reading's extravagant-haircut Ibrahim Sonko, and another Sharks' left-back Peter Ramage.
The safe line-up would include the recently returned to Newcastle squad defender Kieron Dyer, who scored a goal against Arsenal's goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, Everton's Spaniard Mikel Arteta, who confused several defenders against Bolton and sent the ball into the net from afar, and Man City team captain and one of the leaders Joey Barton, who contributed not only with an assist in the winning match against Fulham but also scored one of the three goals himself.
In attack, the first two goals were scored by the Italian Bernardo Corradi, wearing the Man City team's jersey, Nigeria's national team and Portsmouth striker Nwankwo Kanu, who managed to equalize the score in the match against Watford and earn a crucial penalty kick, and Man Utd star Wayne Rooney, whose two accurate strikes brought victory in the match against Sheffield United.
