Violate the bad man bungz

I would mate but the secretary of defence Tim Howard would dive in front of his arsehole and stop my tiny penis penetrating him

Anybody who thinks that we'd be the best defensive team in the league with a different keeper, which seems to be the majority of the people posting here.

We're 14th in the league in shots conceded. More than 14 allowed per match. Top defensive teams don't do that, no matter who's in goal. We'd definitely be a better team with Cech or De Gea, but we still wouldn't be in the class of Arsenal or United.

so we agree then...we'd be around 4th or 5th...yes?

sorry, you are talking sh1t to suit your own agenda... nobody here is even remotely suggesting we could be champions.... swallow that daft American pride and open your eyes ffs

Amazing though, the yanks all like "People thinking a new keeper will win us the league", well that would be nice, but I'd rather just get a new one who could catch the bloody ball. I thought Americans were good at ball sports?

Apparently the Harlem Globetrotters want him to play for them.

I think they need to have a long, hard look at their selection policy.

How many times has this been the case? He needs to be dropped now.

The problem is, Martinez sees Robles in training on a daily basis, if he is not a better option than Howard we have major difficulties

I honestly reckon, without exaggerating, that if we had someone like Butland in goal we'd win the world cup easy.

Let two in today and I bet there's a thread on Stokes GOT saying it wouldn't happen under Begovic (who also let two in today) both for teams who are a lot more defensively minded than us.

You're not trying to defend Howard, you're just blaming everyone else.

Take the star spangled banner down lad.

Yes, I'm blaming everyone. Including Howard. We aren't a Champions League quality team right now. There's potential in the squad, and we obviously won't get to that level with Howard in goal, but he isn't the only problem.

Joel is poor too, probably even worse than Howard.

New goalkeeper has to be a priority next summer, but I'm pretty sure it won't be.

He was quite simply 99% of the problem today. If you can't see that you need to go back to watching that jarg rounders game you lot play.

his problems are vastly deeper than just shot stopping. everyone on here is using their eyes and not looking at stats. i don't even know how the stats show him in good light, every shot on target vs us seems to be a goal these days anyway. been a while since i've seen him make a top save for sure, and people are still talking about villa away 2 seasons ago as the last time he made an important contribution.
