Re: Premier League "Team of the Decade"
No surprises really, but I agree with you - Shearer was at his peak in the 90's before the leg breaks and old age set in.
I reckon the 90's team of the decade would also have been dominated by Man Utd, Schmeichel, Neville, Bruce, Pallister, Giggs, Scholes, Cantona anyone? Maybe a few Arsenal players to make up the rest.

Re: Premier League "Team of the Decade"
Gary Neville and Edwin Van der Sar...Hahah...mind you, not too many Premiership managers other than Baconface have been around for the necessary ten years. What on earth is Shearer doing there? He was around much more than 10 years ago, surely. People have such short memories. Marcel Desailly (Chelsea 1998-2004), Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry and Gianfranco Zola are conspicuous by their absence. Arsenal's 2003/4 invincibles were so much better than United's current squad.

Re: Premier League "Team of the Decade"
Keane??? You must be joking............. the man who earned his 'legendary' reputation running up and down the pitch in a straight line?? Oh but of course he was 'talismanic', 'inspirational', and always 'led by example'.... oh yes I always forget that bit.........
A one-dimensional grunt was 'the greatest midfield player of his generation'?? He wouldn't even get in my "Five Best Man Utd Midfielders Of The Last Twenty Years" list (Cantona, Scholes, Giggs, Beckham, Ronaldo, off the top of my head, but I might add some even better names later when I've had more time to think about it).
Useless tosser...........
