Darren Bent and Andy Goldstein clash as they choose the Premier League's all-time team of six as they try to fit in Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry and Wayne Rooney.
To say Darren Bent and Andy Goldstein couldn't agree on an all-time Premier League team of six would be an understatement.
In a lengthy debate that saw the Drive duo label each other “awful” and “disgraceful”, Benty and Goldstein clashed as they picked the best of the best from the Premier League.
Barcelona legend Gerard Piqué He joins Drive on Wednesday to talk about his 'Kings League' seven-a-side football league, among other topics.
That got the talkSPORT Drive team thinking… what would be your ideal six-player team?
But before we get started, here's a rundown of each of the pair's teams…
Benty's all-time Premier League six-man squad:
Ederson, Fernando River, Kevin De Bruyne, Yaya Toure, Danger of EdenThierry Henry
Goldstein's all-time Premier League six-player team:
Peter Schmeichel, Rio Fernando, Cristiano Ronaldodanger of eden, David SilvaWayne Rooney

At least the duo were able to agree on Hazard and Ferdinand, but the same couldn't be said for the rest of their teams as who they had chosen began to be revealed.
So, without further ado, let the debate begin!
Goldstein: “I've gone 1-1-3-1.”
Benty: “I've gone 1-1-2-1-1.”

Goldstein: “One of the 10?! Well… goalkeeper, now I thought about choosing the goalkeeper, which is irrelevant in this game of six. Just choose a great goalkeeper.”
Benty: “Peter Schmeichel?”
Goldstein: “I'm staying with Peter Schmeichel.”
Benty: “Ugh, honestly. I didn't even think about it!”
Goldstein: “If I look at your notebook and see (David) Seaman… Why wouldn't I choose Schmeichel? He was amazing!”
Benty: “Do you know goalkeepers can shoot?”
Goldstein: “He's not going to shoot!”
Benty: “Mine will! Ederson. With your feet, five against five, play, play, play!”

Goldstein: “To be fair, you did well! Right, defenders…”
Benty: “Brucey (Steve Bruce)?”
Goldstein: “No, I haven't chosen Brucey! I've also chosen Ferdinand.”
Benty: “Defender playing ball, I've seen him in teams of five, I played with him in teams of five, yes, he can play.”
Goldstein: “My three in the middle, the order doesn't really matter. I have chosen three of the best players we have seen in the Premier League with the ball at their feet. Cristiano Ronaldo, he has to be there.”
Benty: “Well, he's not in mine.”
Goldstein: “Well, you're an idiot. Hazard, David Silva.”
Benty: “Oo, that's good, I like it. I've opted for the two ahead of Rio: De Bruyne and-“

Goldstein: “No dude, he's only good on 40-yard passes.”
Benty: “No, it's not! That would be awesome. So, power, throw out all the kids, Yaya Toure!”
Goldstein: “No, you're getting too big, man! That's horrible. This is a horrible team.”
Benty: “You wouldn't take the ball away from him! Wait! Schmeichel in goal? Yaya and De Bruyne, ugh!”
Goldstein: “You don't have a player yet!”
Benty: “De Bruyne!”
Goldstein: “On a small pitch, are you mad?”
Benty: “Hazard, number 10. Who would you have as a forward?”

Goldstein: “My striker is someone who played street soccer… Wazza (Wayne Rooney).”
Benty: “I'm gone Thierry Henry“.
Goldstein: “No, he's too lanky! He'll wear knee-high socks and look too stupid.”
Benty: “Honorable mentions, Santi Cazorla“.
Goldstein: “(Ryan) Giggs for me.”
Benty: “Dude, why?”
Goldstein: “Are you kidding?! One of the best dribblers we've seen in the Premier League!”
Benty: “Not in the game of six!”

We'd love to see these sides face off in real life, that's for sure!
