I'm not sure whether Wheater done it over a sustained period of time to get a call up.

He's the best keeper I've ever seen in b&w too but while he has been a world class shot-stopper I think other aspects of his game are what prevents him from being 'world class' in goal. In particular his distribution and his inability to command his area / being weak at collecting crosses. It's just being realistic imo. Yup he definitely has had his weaknesses, but at his very best he was pretty good with very few really noticeably better than him overall. Although I'd agree with maybe not being world class, but that's mostly because very, very few players actually are "world class". That was sort of my point too. It's an overused phrase. I was using the term world class as in "one of the best keepers in the world at the time" kind of way. You said he was world class now though. Well he is one of the worlds best. Is he fuck. Was up until this season then.

This is going nowhere !

I'd disagree. We criticise our own players too much imo. Then watch Cech for 6 games a season and declare him the best in the world. Whatever class you rate him in, he has been our best keeper in my lifetime and possibly ever.

So we'd swap one keeper who has had 1 bad season for another? Do you reckon world class goalies will be queuing round Barrack Road to join us like? Why do we need to sign a world class kepper when we've already got one?? Hopefully this op will sort him out.

I've always wondered why Edgar hasn't had a sniff despite our woeful defensive displays. I've always wondered why Huntington always seemed to be ahead of him in the pecking order. And Rambo.

Might get some kippers with buttered bread. .....yum.

As footballers or people?

I dont particulary hate any clubs on the whole and especially not for years on end. Managers and players change. Dont really care about supporters to be honest...although Arsenal fans do think they are gods gift at the min (well, maybe a month ago!)

Given and Harper can hold the fort for me until Forster, Krul or the new Scandy steps up,

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ted/7304490.stm Tosser. Whats wrong with that???? Every day he's got something to say. Times yesterday, Radio Newcastle today. He should concentrate on his own game rather than worrying about Keegan or the fans publicly. Footballers do get interviewed. Its probably part of their contract to be honest. Way OTT reaction imo.

Because he's constantly spouting shite about contracts what he's going to do blah, blah, blah when he should be concentrating on his game Wasnt it is father/agent doing most of it though?

Spot on team for me as well.

I agree with Sima....for possibly the 1st time ever.

I dont get all this Taylor bashing. Guess it fashionable these days though.

He has been terrible for Liverpool this season by all accounts.

Do you believe he's going to come out and go oh yes he was shit? Of course he's not man. Then again it's not like you not to be negative at all about anything is it? People just find a way to moan about anything. The did enough defensively imo. Enough to play 3 up top away from home - which is quite impressive - anyway.

Fulham will be a BIG test.

I thought he was steady. Would have got a 6.5 out of 10 if he wasnt on set pieces !

I think we should just start again in midfield. Clear them all out.

His style of play seems not only to be far too intelligent for most of his team mates but unfortunately for most of the fans as well. He wasnt that good! looked out of shape to me.
