The One Handed Save By Given In The First Half

[Whassat]

I was sceptical when he was brought to city, but he've proved me wrong on so many occasions. Top quality goalie!

How on earth was you sceptical? Drugs for 10 years?

pretty much what I thought on reading that, Given has been consistently world class for years, Newcastle getting relegated after he left is no coincidence, he single handedly saved/won them many a point over the years.

I was jumping for joy when we signed him

'Scuse my ignorance but i truly didnt rate him that high before he came to city. Ive had a good look at him since he arrived tho, and he's been quality thru and thru since then.

Basically, I was sorry for Joe when Given joined. In Hart England have a top quality goalkeeper for years to come I reckon.

He will be worth 15 points at least for us this season. Save of the season for me so far, that was top quality.

i was six rows back, behind the goal. when he hit it, i just said, 'it's in'. tremendous save, no doubt. he's a very good goalie.

While it was a well-placed, fairly powerful shot, I think he'd have been disappointed with himself had he let a shot in from that range. A good save yes but let's not go mad. There is a tendency towards hyperbole among commentators, pundits and fans these days.

Agreed. I had a great view of the shot and while the ball was in mid-air I was always expecting Shay to get a hand to it as he see it early and his view didnt seem to be blocked.Not sayin it was an easy save, but comfortable for a keep of Shays standard.

I think I would've got to it.

Tokyo, that is them most outrageous statement I have ever read. You sir are an absolute legend of the game, a true superstar.

The HYPERBOLE point is well made Tokyo. It was a superb save though.
Lucky to have Given? Or a well made decision to recruit him?

[10.Goater_Legend]

Still think he will proves to be Hughes' best signing.

Is it just me or is the "could of", "should of", "would of" now been accepted into the english language curriculum?

I genuinely think that it's actually how they think it should be written! (or wrote)

I suspect that in the next few years it will be accepted as the norm.

Off topic I know but it get's my Goat!

hennesys save from robbie in the first half was also quality

[bluemoon man]

I was sat 6 rows back and thought it looked like an amazin save!!! The footage on Match of The Day shows it slowed down and it looks like he's flying through the air - unbelievable - he'll be wirth a few points to us this season!
