Given threatens to leave

[The Man In Blue]

He's a whiny bitch not willing to fight for his place, he lost his place in the first place because he wasn't good enough. He couldn't get a minute at the world cup behind a 40 year old and robert fucking green. He came back and played like muck in pre-season and he still has the neck to say that if hes not playing hes off somewhere else. The sooner he realises he's not fucking good enough to play first team for a top club the better player he'll be at the end of it.

harsh but true imo.

Here the video interview with Shay.

Looks like both keepers aint gonna budge on there stance for the no1 spot, so only see one option and thats one of them to be shipped out.
5 days till the Prem starts and we get this shit now.

Yawn, was asked leading questions just like Hart was last week

[Sister of fu]

Fucking keepers eh?

;-)

I think we are that good we don't even need to play with one!!

Yawn, was asked leading questions just like Hart was last week

so why not refuse to answer? anyone with half a brain would be able to detect the agenda the interviewers have, so how about "no comment" or "let's see what happens"?

You do realise you are talking about a footballer right? And a keeper to boot

Yeah exactly who needs em

[Nige]

Wankers, both of them. The club needs solidarity and team spirit. What's next, Toure (k) demanding to start ahead of Kompany?

Fucking pre madonna football twats.

Sell both and buy a decent foreign goalie is my view,

Bobby Manc needs to come out with a "......I'm the guvner" statement otherwise the spunky media divs will be all over this.

[Goaters 103]

Pick one of them, keep the other one and if the one on the bench sulks then tough $hit. We arent a charity and I dont personally give a toss whether Given/Hart are happy or not. They signed good contracts, are paid daft money, so they can honour them.

[Blue2]

Given beat down Hart when they contested the position under Hughes and has done a stellar job ever since. To drop him would be no reasonable sense and would (in my opinion) purely be down to media pressure and appeasing the fans for giving an "english" player a chance. He'd be right to leave if he was dropped for those reasons and he'd go to Arsenal and kick the shit out of city then.

So I hope Mancini is smart and doesn't let that cunt hart anywhere near the team until he deserves to be, which is a long way away from what I've seen.

So Hart is a cunt and Given isn't for
saying more or less the same thing?

[BlueMoonAwoken]

Given has come out and said this because i bet he thinks with all joe harts crying and moaning to the media might get him the nod against spurs. So given probably thinks right fuck ya you little moaning bitch im gonna do the same.

[Crossie]

lol nice pic.

There are enough games for the 2 of them, 3 games a week for most of the season, we should be looking to stay in all cup comps until the later stages, theoretically they could be get 30 games this season

Yes, because they're in different positions. I would say Given is justified, he's earned his first team place and has done nothing to lose it. If he was dropped this week there would be something shady about it and he'd be fully justified in looking for the door.

Hart has done nothing to warrant a first team place, he couldn't keep it the last time, he couldn't get it at England, he did nothing to deserve it in pre-season. There's no reason to start him so him coming out and saying "start me or I'm off" is ridiculous since if he considers himself the best goalkeeper at the club at present he needs to get his ego checked in for a dose of reality.

Hart was selected as the best keeper in the Premier League last season, how is that not staking a claim for a first team spot?

[MaineRoadMemories]

Sack em both and get Fulop back. Job done!

On a serious note I'm very disappointed in the attitude of both our senior goalkeepers. The lack of ambition to be our number one and just take an easy number one job elsewhere is not the mentality of a title winning player.

Given has been playing at the top level for donkey's years & has nothing to prove. Hart's just on the verge becoming a top class keeper & needs to be playing right now not sat on the bench. It's absolutely crucial to Hart's future both at domestic & international level that he keeps improving & he can't do that without playing. I don't understand why you can't see that. Imagine how you would feel if you'd just established yourself as one of the best in the Prem lg, a possible England keeper, & found out you may spend the forseeable future sat on your arse while other keepers take your place as england's No 1, possibly for years to come if they do well?

Beat me to it mate, abslolutely spot on.

Sell them both, and get Buffon :)
