View Full Version : David James now clean sheet record holder 16vmarc 22 April 2007, 18:08 142 career clean sheets. Liverpool, Aston Villa, West Ham, Manchester City and Portsmouth. scoobygav555 22 April 2007, 19:54 Fair play, even though he is a cock:) WR 1mposter 22 April 2007, 22:29 Pleased for the bloke !:luxhello: :luxhello: :luxhello: IMHO Best English keeper by a long way....we all make mistakes mr mclaren:Whatever_ you more than most:lol1: His perfromance today got Pompey a draw, and of the few pompey games I've watched on motd/sky this year he has won them a lot of points Can never understand why Villa got rid of him for "past his sell by date get a few bums on seats" Scmicheal Bad mistake by John Gregory, would welcome hime back to Villa park with open arms. Fat Boy 23 April 2007, 09:17 Schmeichel - 42% of all games he played in were clean sheets, 2nd best Seaman with 41% of all games. Calamity has finally got there (in the low 30% IIRC) but he'd be better concentarting on his team and all those many games where he threw the ball in his own net rather than chasing personal goals CrisPDuk 23 April 2007, 10:36 To be fair though Fat Boy, both Schmeichel and Seaman (especially Seaman) had the considerable advantage of playing behind a decent back four. James has never really had that luxury. When he played for us for example he had the defensive nightmare that was Phil Babb to contend with:eek: P1Fanatic 23 April 2007, 11:27 but he'd be better concentarting on his team and all those many games where he threw the ball in his own net rather than chasing personal goals Surely they (him and the team) have the same goal? Simon Fat Boy 24 April 2007, 16:50 A clean sheet helps both, true. It was just the way he was talking the other night that got my goat up - it was all "I'm very pleased with myself; aren't i brilliant?" ignoring the many blunders he's made over the years which drove some of his teams followers to distraction. Playing behind Phil Babb cannot have been easy, granted, but there have been many poor decisions made in, for instance, one on one situations or back passes where he could and should have dealt with things better. A top striker clean through on goal with Schmeichel, Cech or Calamity in goal in their pomp? I know that as a defending fan i'd be a lot more happy with either of the first two in goal rather than the self confessed legend James. |
