    When Shaaban joined Bob Wilson spoke about how they tried to amend his technique to include actually catching the ball sometimes, rather than punching. His technique was so ingrained that they eventually decided they couldnt change it.

    We signed a goalkeeper that literally couldn't catch and couldnt be taught. If that isnt the definition of a **** keeper I dont know what is. On his debut he punched a rather slow shot that was heading gently towards his stomach. He was hopeless.

    Compared to him, Almunia was Peter Shilton (I would have said Seaman but I dont take His name lightly).

    Well, a fist.

    We let a perfectly goodgoalkeeper leave because he had a fag.

    I remember when Richard Wright punched one into his own net and we lost to Charlton.

    It's fair to say we haven't had much luck with keepers.

    Indeed. Obviously a case of jobs for the boys with Arsene.

    Still, that does mean there is a role going as Arsenal scout, SW. Best get that CV in top shape.
