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.

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.

Tokyo, that is them most outrageous statement I have ever read. You sir are an absolute legend of the game, a true superstar.
Attack the argument of the person, not the person of the argument- except Carl.

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?

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!
