    It appears modern thinking agrees with you. I am unconvinced

    Totally agree, loved Brad.

    Someone else (sorry can't remember who) alluded to the fact that their goal was a bit of a keeper clanger and I'd agree. Days gone by he would have caught it, but there is this insistence now to parry the ball away.

    I was listening to a podcast earlier and the guy (who was a coach) said this is the way they develop them now due to the "risk" of trying to catch the ball. Blimey when I played (long time ago now) the big advantage was that you could use your hands.........

    Last season was seriously unenjoyable
    for me whether you believe in the above or not.

    Expectation comes from something rational.
    I didn't expect Spurs to win.
    However I fully expected Wolves to come and
    play a game that could nullify Spurs.


    "... but I simply abhor teams coming to Tottenham to claim their first wins of the seasons!"

    I suspect statistically it happens so little
    in general or to Spurs in particular as to
    not expend any emotion over it.

    It was me - no need to apologise! <laugh>
    Not catching it was bad enough, but then pushing it into the path of two oncoming players was even worse.

    Stick the Spurs goalkeepers squad in a room with their eyes clamped open a la Alex in clockwork orange and make them watch film after film of Pat Jennings doing the job the correct way

    I met him when I was about 9 or 10 in Bejams in Hoddesdon. The Spurs training ground was in Cheshunt and I believe he had a house in Broxbourne at the time so it probably wasn't that surprising but my overriding memory is that he was a giant of a man but as you say, a real gent.
