Your best Premier League

[Zippity]

Ok, a slight diversionary thread for the weekend. Take our minds off our possible non-participation in the transfer window (or even next year's Premier League, ironically).

If you could take your pick of twenty teams which you think represent the best the 'top' league has ever had, who would you pick? Only restriction is that they have to have been in the Premier League/old First Division. Other than that, any reason for inclusion or non--inclusion goes.

In no particular order:

Newcastle United
Liverpool
West Ham United
Leeds United
Preston North End
Manchester United
Arsenal
Tottenham Hotspur
Nottingham Forest
Aston Villa
Sheffield Wednesday
Everton
Blackburn
Chelsea
Derby
Wolves
Sheffield United
Portsmouth
Ipswich
Blackpool

Would be some cracking games in there, I reckon.

Couple of obvious omissions...never liked Man City... ever and, well, it's funnier not to put the mackems in.

Give it a shot-we've got nowt else to talk about.

Any club that Ian Holloway is managing just for his after game comments.

I was trying to think of specific squads too... like Newcastle's 95/96 squad, Norwich's 96/97 squad (with Craig Bellamy, Ade Akinbiyi, Robert Fleck, Bryan Gunn etc.) but I realised that was way too much thought. Good idea for a thread though!
