England keeper beaten from 35 yards

[NMH]

Yep, good old Dave James stood stock still watching as the ball went by, off a free kick from dis-dis-distance. Porstmouth now level on aggregate and not looking 'in' this match at all

and ended up shouting at his defence for the goal!

Comon the Portuguese

I'm off to Wembley a week Saturday when we play Borat's lot, so hopefully he's on song then

 

[SNOOBS]

Crouch scores

Ditto, will demand my money back if he does the same

 

[SNOOBS]

Crouch again superb finish

 

[Napper]

James looks dodgy to me this season but prob still deserves to keep England shirt due to lack of competition

 

[Les Biehn]

Hart looks better than James and is young. Should get his go me thinks.

I quite fancy that as thanks to Borat I now know the words of their national anthem

Has already shipped a few this season though. 4 against Villa.

True but City's defence ain't great.

 

[Knotty]

The number of mistakes he has made in recent weeks is very worrying, but who takes his place? I haven't seen enough of the others to make a proper judgement, though.

When Robinson looked dodgy we brought in Carson for his first full game against Croatia...

True but City's defence ain't great.

The most concerning aspect of City at the moment is our centrehalves don't seem to be working well together.

Hart is okay, but James is a better shot stopper. I think young Joe will be top class in a few years if he can keep a part of the setup at City who knows where he will end up.

With James at 36 years old and Green at 28, it would be a great move to give Hart the job he could be keeper for 15 years, but England have long relied on experience over raw talent, so expect when James drops off the radar that Green gets the nod or Robinson comes in from the cold.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Just give Kirkland a run in the side.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

If I was in the Pompey back four at the moment, with James behind us. I would be alittle worried, he has got off to one of his worst shaky starts in his whole entire career. But with the lack of competition for the England Goalkeeper shirt, I expect him to be playing against Borat team....

 

[Slim-MCFC]

Just give Kirkland a run in the side.

With his injuries I doubt he could keep up with the England schedule alone.

 

[Uncle Buck]

His injury record is the issue. Of the crop of keepers he is part of (Robinson, Wright, Green, Carson etc) Kirkland is the most talented. However ever since he did his knee in at Liverpool (against Palace) he seems to be a bit of a sick note. However the last season or so, he seems to have played more games for Wigan than he has missed.

 

[Scotty Mac]

Just give Kirkland a run in the side.

has always been the best option, but injuries have ruined him. kept a ludicrous amount of clean sheets last year for a man playing for wigan

if not him, dont see what else rob green has to do to get a call up

 

[Barry Izbak]

James might be England keeper but I believe he conceded a hatfull to that premier$hip team with a load of money.

FDM didn't concede that many - and that includes 120 minutes AND a penalty shoot out !!
