IMO he's never been as bad as people like to make out.

I'd still prefer him between the sticks for England.

Robben out for 6 weeks, hopefully that means back to 0.8 goals a game chelsea like we saw before, that would be very useful.

Physio Mike Banks said: “One is a chip on the side of his foot, the other is a small break on the third metatarsal. But this is not the traditional metatarsal that has become so famous since the last World Cup and which has kept Scott Parker out for two months, the fractures are tiny and he could be playing next month.”

Could . I hope not, evil as that may seem.

No, because he still makes too many bad errors. Austria, for instance.
Because of his past, these are highlighted more than they should be IMO.

I certainly don't think there's an English keeper with his shot stopping ability.

Still, if only Carlo would take the nationality...

Arteta's not the only one who's moved around.Mido's a nomad too.With Tottenham he's on like his 6th club and he's not 21 yet!

James is a good one IMO.The mistakes overshadow the good performances though.Not lik ethere's a better choice.The only other real contenders for me are Paul Robinson and Chris Kirkland.

The Austria one was bad enough, and he's made a few mistakes for City this season too. He's in good form, I still wouldn't trust him though. Robinson looks to be doing Ok overall.

I would go for consistency over the odd brilliance any time. And thats not to say that robinson cannot pull off the blinder here and there.

Sydney Football club are trying to create a coup by attempting to bring Dwight Yorke down to these neck of the woods.

Yeah, I just don't trust him for England.

Mr Erikkson clearly doesn't want Andy Johnson to play for England, so lets play him wide right where he doesn't play so i can leave him out of my next squad....

Yep, it's ridiculous, he obviously has something against Downing as well. Left/right side midfield is a pretty quiet position so you need a full 90 minutes just so the guy playing there gets involved a few times, not 30 minutes when the game drifts and he barely touches the ball. Bringing on Jenas & Dyer with 10 minutes left is similarly pointless (they're a waste of space anyway). Eriksson seems more and more inept every time England play.

Oh and Neville just tried a clever flick... as if he didn't look like a tit to begin with.
