Spurs goalkeeper

[Daxter]

I don't understand how he is a professional goalkeeper.

Gomes signed for Tottenham Hotspur on 26 June[2] for a fee believed to be around £7.8 million

Off wikipedia, but still....LOLZ

Well like Elmander he just needs time to settle into the demands of the Premier League.

Gomez thinks he has to run out and catch every ball, dunno how we never put a goal past him...

Prior to last weekend nobody had saved more on-target efforts

He's a liability in many ways but he stops shots

A long-running joke in our club is that we describe any goalkeeper in the world as a "good shot stopper". That's because it's the absolute minimum requirement for a fecking goalkeeper, and shouldn't really be considered when talking up a goalkeeper. It's the rest of the game - the command of the box, the communication skills, the handling, the distribution, the organisational skills at set pieces, and the decision making - that makes a 'keeper a good 'keeper.

And that's all Gomes is - a good shot stopper. It ain't a compliment.

Fair enough. Just pointing out that he's statistically the best in the league at it. Suck that, Jussi.

With the shape of the team in front of him before Droopy took over, I wouldn't have expected anything else. Enough practice, and all that.

Arsenal 4 - 4 Spurs (DVD)

It was always going to be a dramatic night at the Emirates Stadium; with Harry Redknapp's recent appointment as manager, the Spurs players with a point to prove and an Arsenal team looking for revenge following the 5-1 humiliation at the hands of Tottenham earlier in the year. The stage was set for a classic encounter and it didn't disappoint.
David Bentley set the tone of the game with a dipping swerving 40 yard wonder strike early in the first half, but Arsenal fought back to lead 3-1 in what was a pulsating rollercoaster of a game.

With seconds remaining of normal time Spurs were 4-2 down and seemingly heading for defeat. The team; infused with a renewed sense of belief and never say die attitude drove forward and a last-minute double salvo from captain Jermaine Jenas and substitute Aaron Lennon leveled the match and stunned the Emirates Stadium.

It was night to savour for David Bentley, returning to his former club with magical inspiration. For Harry Redknapp and all associated with the club there was a great sense of unity and pride as Spurs ushered in a new era with a memorable and explosive evening of football.
