Vs

----------------Howard--------------
Coleman--Jagielka--Distin---Baines
Mirallas--Gibson--Osman--Pienaar
---------Fellaini----------------------
--------------Jelavic-----------------

With players on form... our current team looks a country mile ahead of the other team. I do love how much the team has developed in under a decade with very little money spent.

City have been bought since then, Tottenham have been Redknapped since then. Much more difficult for our current team.

Swap Howard for Martyn and Osman for Arteta and how boss would that team be?

Not just City and Spurs... the majority of the league have progressed leaps and bounds.... our 04-05 team would be struggling in the current league!

Is that even the team that finished 4th? Where is Yobo? Also the form of Gravesen was massive in us getting 4th that season, when he left for Madrid we weren't the same side and were hanging in.

The Cahill of that season as well... was his top scoring season right?

I was going for the team we finished the season with... i'm pretty sure Yobo was injured and Gravesen had left in January.

You're 100% correct though, the centre mid partnership when we were getting all those 1-0 wins was Carsley Gravesen with Arteta on the Right and Cahill behind the striker..

It's amazing to think that squad managed to finish 4th,

Look at the results here,

13 clean sheets, nine 1-0 wins. Shows what grinding out results can do.

I'd take Martyn, Carsley, that Arteta and that Cahill anyday. Probably have Stubbs and Weir as back up too
