Hear Hear, said the same for years o other forums.PHP wrote:If you're going to win the league you need a world class keeper. Almunia will never be a world class keeper!
You might want to pull your neck in there a bit, mate - it is a forum.Bergkamp-Genius wrote:If Flappy was our first choice keeper within a few weeks he would be getting slaughtered on here, you would be picking holes in everything he did, he is no better than Almunia and he is far more prone to error, which would stand out a mile if he became our first choice keeper and had all the focus on him.
I'll admit Almunia is not good enough to be playing for a team that has pretentions of winning silverware but he is like it or not, the best we have at the moment and due to our managers lack of desire to spend any significant money in defensive areas he is likely not going to be improved upon in the near future.
I can see Al has certain limitations in his game but they are the same limitations that all but the very best keepers have in todays game, so knowing we are highly unlikely to buy one of the very best there is not a lot we can do about that.
Even though i know we need a better keeper it's getting a bit ridiculous reading the constant attempts to look for a way to blame him for almost every goal scored against us, even though most of them are caused by bad defending, i'm actually surprised he wasn't in some way blamed for last nights goal, i mean he was watching the game, it must have been his fault![]()
Lets agree we need a better keeper and by all means discuss Als obvious errors, but the weekly over the top demonization of him needs to stop, it's getting silly.

Where people go to express opinions, debate back and forth? Or should people now only debate what you deem it proper to debate? If someone wants to come on here and have a pop at any player they are welcome. Who is to say they are not allowed? I think that's the official forum you are thinking of...
