Haha I forgot about him. With hindsight it's surreal that Arsenal had a keeper costing them 10 points a season at a time when they were regularly finishing within 10 points of the title. I can't remember anyone quite that bad starting every game for a team that was otherwise so good.

Before your time, but, if we're only talking about goalkeepers, Gary Sprake springs to mind. If we're including out-field players, then Phil Neal's the obvious candidate.

Keepers one area where Wenger's signings (apart from Lehmann) were almost all universally poor actually. Got lucky with Chesney coming through the youth system, but Richard Wright, Shaaban, Ospina all terrible

I vaguely remember some stuff coming out about how dreadful your goalkeeping coaching was. Fabianski especially has been good-to-very-good for years now, but he was poor at Arsenal.

Gerry Peyton. Wojciech portrayed him as a bad, bad joke but he was close friends with Arsene so was able to hang around

There was an Almunia for England bandwagon at one point. Fell off a cliff not long after though

Nah they were much worse imo, it's just that right now England continually pick the worst of all their possible options

Scott Carson was getting picked for England back in those days ffs

If he wasn't playing for England at major tournaments he'd be smashing up town squares and throwing chairs while singing about two world wars and one world cup.

I was going to post the headline from yesterday's edition of The Sun as evidence for the prosecution, but this article rather puts it in its place.

Jordan Pickford 'at centre of' nothing but Sun opportunism in brawl reports

The 'aren't footballers absolute pricks?' train stops at Jordan Pickford. Except it doesn't really because he wasn't even involved.
