Sælir.
The Sun púslaði saman einu liði sem væri skipað leiðinlegustu, grófustu og kjaftforustu leikmönnum deildarinnar. Þ.e.a.s. þeir leikmenn sem áhorfendur elska að hata :) Dennis Wise, Patrick Vieira og Roy Keane komust, þótt ótrúlega megi virðast.. EKKI í liðið. Og hér er liðið með útskýringum þeirra hjá “The Sun”.

FABIEN BARTHEZ (Man Utd). Let's be honest, which of us didn't have a little chuckle when the floundering Frenchman was chucking them in every week? He's not particularly nasty, just incredibly arrogant for a bloke who has hardly covered himself in glory at Old Trafford.

DANNY MILLS (Leeds). Seems guaranteed to be involved in at least one scrap every week. The FA will not just have to worry about behaviour off the pitch if the Leeds defender gets an England call-up for the World Cup finals.

ANDY TODD (Charlton). Who needs enemies when you have friends like Todd in your dressing-room? He broke assistant-manager Phil Brown\'s jaw at Bolton and whacked team-mate Dean Kiely in another training ground ruck at Charlton. Still, in his favour, he did also thump Stan Collymore once.

GILLES GRIMANDI (Arsenal). With Frank Leboeuf no longer at Chelsea, his place at the back goes to his fellow Frenchman. Grimandi is not a regular in the Gunners' team these days, but still a useful late substitute when Arsene Wenger needs to increase his team's yellow card count.

GRAEME LE SAUX (Chelsea). Pleasant and articulate off the pitch, Le Saux appears to be transformed the minute he crosses the white line. Just ask David Batty, Robbie Fowler, Lee Dixon, Danny Mills, Patrick Vieira and a few other of his opponents

LUIS BOA MORTE (Fulham). Recently cleared of biting Everton skipper David Weir, but Jean Tigana's Portuguese wide man has been sent off for spitting, butting and diving in the past…which is nice.

LEE BOWYER (Leeds). What more can we possibly say about this loveable rogue that has not already been said a million times in recent weeks? To put it mildly, he is not the sort of bloke you would invite to a party.

ROBBIE SAVAGE (Leicester). Now that he has run out of opponents to argue with, the Leicester lip has turned to rucking with his team-mates. Dennis Wise was spot on with his Christmas party assessment of Savage when he described him as a certain part of the anatomy we're not allowed to mention.

DAVID GINOLA (Aston Villa). You either love him or hate him and, unfortunately for the French shampoo salesman, everyone at Villa seems in the latter camp. Still, that doesn't matter because Ginola has enough love for himself to make up for an entire army of critics. A player you can always rely on…to disappear when the going gets tough.

ALAN SMITH (Leeds). Ask any player in the Premiership and not many would have had him on their Christmas card list. Every striker needs a bit of aggression but Smithy seems to have enough to start World War Three.

NICOLAS ANELKA (Liverpool). Insists he has changed since flouncing out of Arsenal and Real Madrid, but the moody monsieur will still win few popularity polls.

MANAGER: STEVE BRUCE (Birmingham). OK, so he is not working in the Premiership and he probably never will. But how could we leave out the boss who is to loyalty what King Herod was to babysitting?
