Odegaard out until mid-November at the earliest.

Jens was ok but he was no Almunia.

Almunia was excellent. Peter loved him.

All right, I?

I simply pointed out that he was better than Fabianski- an opinion so ridiculous that it was shared by our third greatest ever manager (work that one out for yourself )

I also pointed out that his stats over the year and a half where he was at his best put him alongside the top four keepers in the league.

And bear in mind I am supposed to be the one who always moans and sees the worse in everything and everyone...... shame on all of you for your treatment of Almunia....

Almunia did have one good game. At OT in the CL SF. Made 4 or 5 world class saves to keep it to 1-0. So we had a chance in the return leg, before young Gibbs slipped over on the ball after about 7 mins and gave them a goal.

Manuel then decided to let in a 40 yard FK from that Portugeezer and that was that. A late Cesc pelanty for a 3-1 defeat.

Speaking of 'keepers making 4-5 world class saves in a losing cause, my fave ever Sperz player {excluding ones who went on to play for us} was Paul Robinson. Every time he played for us {and this was true at Leeds, too, before he joined Sperz} he would pull of 4-5 absolutely stunning saves but would still let in 3-5 goals that he had absolutely no chance with, where we'd just scythe them open and get tap ins into empty nets.

And the reason I really like him was in one of his final games against us, possibly the last, the Gooners were giving him stick saying "That's 60 you've conceded against us now" and he gave us a wave. Top lad.

He was outstanding for an hour at home to Barcelona. Then came charging off his line and got lobbed.

He was never great when he came off his line....

PS: Are left footed right wingers gay fascists?

They can go both ways, just like fascists.

They can go both ways, just like fascists.

As a left footer, I always got pushed out to the far left when I was younger. But was much more comfortable in the centre....

Flappy won us a cup by winning that pelanty shoot-out. They'd have all been retaken nowadays cos he bounced up and down on his line as they ran up and then the final bounce before they kicked it, he jumped forward a good 2-3 feet. That's why he saved them.

We cheated our way to that cup win. Unfair on the team we beat, but the Scousers robbed us with those handballs on the line in 2001. We'd have won 3 cups on the trot without that, and if Ars?ne had played Titi from the start in the semi, we might have done the double in the Invincibles year. Then we'd have had 5 on the trot, not three, a lost final and a lost semi in 5 years.
