If it wasn't for the fact that our goalkeeper Gomes is a bit like Dracula - he hates crosses - it would have been four-nil to Spurs. Mind you, I agree Liverpool should have had a penalty but we were by far the better team last night. I can't believe the form we're in at the moment since Harry has taken over. I just hope we can keep it going to the end of the season.

I don't think they'll be any cash on the table for Harry to bring players in but he's pretty good at wheeling and dealing in the market and our top priority has to be a goalkeeper.


Also, Harry has made the best start to a managerial reign at Tottenham for 110 years (five wins and a draw) and ironically the manager at that time, Frank Brettall moved on to manage Portsmouth.

The goalkeeping situation for England at the moment is a strange one. There is a lengthy list of possible to successors to, essentially, David Seaman's jersey. Yet none really stand out head-and-shoulders above the rest. Some of the performances from the below between the sticks this season have been excellent though....


James

Robinson

Kirkland

Carson

Green

Turnbull

Hart


But to choose one for a consistent England place seems problematic. James won't last much more than another year so seems nothing more than a stop-gap solution. Robinson was dreadful but seems to have found a new lease of life at Blackburn. Last weekend he nearly stopped Chelsea single-handed.

Gomez does actually look like Nosferatu as well. Theres no getting away from it hes shite and has cost us a lot of goals this season. Thats fine when your winning but when we're up against it hes going to start costing us games. Still, nice to see Ronnie Corbett come on in his place!

I believe Almunia will soon be a serious contender as he is due to get his British passport soon.......

To be fair, he does have Casillas and Reina ahead of him and he has only been our first team regular for a season

Not as many as you, I'd hazard a guess - but through the magic of TV replays/highlights, press commentary and having a few Arsenal-supporting mates I thought it was a common assumption that he's not looked as steady as last season.


I'm happy to stand corrected though if you say different.

Nothing against him being Spanish old bean just that he's a Gooner and he's not as good as the English goalkeepers that are available.

Right thats enough Gooner bashing!

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
