worst chant in the history of football Have you ever heard "On the ball City" (Norwich)? I refuse to believe City til I die is a worse song than one that includes the line "Hurrah we've scored a goal". [insert club name here] till i die is a fucking stupid chant, worse and more cringeworthy than most ive ever heard

Carr was terrible at Watford but still scored a pen

aye not allowed to film people under 18 It's not that!, we all know most 16 year old girls are easily impressed by some footballers and rock stars or anyone with a bit of fame, so they should have more f***ing sense but at 18 I think you are adult enough to know what you want. As said, the article seems to make out they didn't know her before they met her that night so would they have even known her age? Yes I know some 16 yr old's certianly do look like 20 with a bit of make up. lets share one of them

Thats the thing, what Given doesn't do very well is something he can get away with, what he excels in is something that often wins us games. Its like writing off Van Nistlerooy because he rarely scores from outside the area and isn't exactly quick! Aye, spot on. Given definately has weaknesses, and they do lead to a goal once in a blue moon. For example, hes piss poor when it comes to penalties, in comparison to keepers like Buffon who actually excell at saving them hes a novice. As another example, if a cross comes in well flighted into the penalty box, and an opponent meets the ball with a good header getting it low either side of Given so that its "unsaveable", Given will concede. Other keepers, who might be considered better, will get their fingertips to those "unsaveable" shots (not literally unsaveable, but onces youd expect a keeper to have no chance in saving). Thats not what Given is about, and it doesnt really matter, because penalties and "unsaveable" goals arent frequent - its the shots on target that are just about saveable, or the shots that have an awkward swerve or bounce, or the crosses that should end up in the keepers' hands, or the through balls that should be cleared by the keeper, or when players are in a one-on-one with Shay - all of those are extremely frequent, and Given down the years has been so utterly efficient and consistent at "winning" in all those situations that it imo gives him an advantage over keepers like Lehman, Van der Sar, Cech, Reina etc, because they havent shown the same level of consistency or efficiency at dealing with all those basic parts of goalkeeping as Shay has shown, despite being behind considerably better defences. Its not to say Given is perfect, hes bound to make a mistake once in a while, but including those mistakes hes still alot more consistent/efficient than most others, and thats all you truly need in a keeper for a top side. Not suprised that he wanted out a while ago, but also not too suprised that hes not at a top side already. The likes of Lehman and VD Sar are just about good enough for their respective teams to win trophies with them - from their point of view, yes, Given would most likely be an improvement, but not a 10mill+ improvement, which is what I expect he'd cost, money which could be used to fund big signings for other positions. Apart from Buffon (who imo is a wonder keeper, no weaknesses and is very good in every department), extremely few top sides buy keepers for anything approaching 8-10 mill, they all tend to scrape by with what theyve got and whatever they can land on the cheap. Look at Barcelona - theyve got a poor keeper overall in Valdes, without a doubt their weakest link, yet wont spend anything in that department.

Just a note about the squad nufc.com is wrong ----------------- We travel to Ewood Park on Saturday for a 3pm kickoff in what will be the first Premiership meeting between the sides when the name of Alan Shearer hasn't appeared in one or the other squad lists on the match programme. NUFC: Given, Srnicek, Solano, Taylor, Ramage, Huntington, Babayaro, Butt, Emre, N'Zogbia, Milner, Pattison, Troisi, Gate, Edgar, Martins, Sibierski, Luque, Rossi, Carroll. --------------- Gate didn't travel but Alan O'Brien did

A big talking point in the season occurred on 5th February 2006 in a league game against Chelsea. Reina, having made a clumsy challenge on Eidur Gudjohnsen moments earlier, was controversially sent off for putting his hand on Arjen Robben's face, who fell down somewhat easily and theatrically. Liverpool ended up losing the game 2-0 and Reina was given a three match ban. In the final domestic game of the season — the FA Cup final on 13 May 2006 — Reina was both a villain and a hero as Liverpool defeated West Ham United. During the normal time Reina made a number of errors to allow the Hammers to lead 3-2. The match ended 3-3 and went to penalties, where Reina lived up to his penalty saving reputation as he saved three out of four penalties. Early 2006/07 season saw Reina being in the center of series of blunders and shakey Liverpool defence. This is contrast to the strong defence being put forward by Liverpool side the season before. Most notable one happened on the 9th of September 2006 in the Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park, Reina had a torrid time, but it was in the final minute of the game that he decided to 'drop' the ball onto the head of Everton striker Andy Johnson, Johnson scored with his head and it summed up Reina's day, this laughable mistake cost Liverpool and Everton won 3-0 in a historic win. ---------------- aye best keeper in the league :roll:

have to disagree there, he is not one of the best premiership keepers He's streets ahead of Given as a keeper. Fucking hell, deluded as fuck, don't turn into Spurs
