    Agree with previous thoughts, as they showed the 8 Saves on MOTD2 I said 'what about Forster's one against Arsenal away?'

    Of the ones on the list I'd ahve gone for the Hart free kick save....only one that wasn't just down to instinct but took a lot of goalkeeping skill to get to

    Yeah, I thought that save of the season list was a really poor selection. I swear De Gea made better saves against us than the one that won it.
    i doubt that was Butlands best save of the season either.

    I thought that Schmeichel's or Hart's was the best of that particular bunch, but I've seen better from this season. Frankly, it felt like it was a fixed bunch of keepers and the voting was rigged. Honestly, I wouldn't let the public vote on these things. They just vote for their man, irrespective of the quality.

    It's why, for example, Jack Wilshere has won the last two Goals of the Season. Rigged by Arsenal voters.

    I'll tell you what, I'll do this much for you. If I find it, I won't tell you.

    Now you can't do fairer than that, can you. ;)

    Just thinking that if we want a team of Thunderbirds we need to get a Scott, Alan, Gordon and John. Who's eligible and good enough out there.? It ought to be easy enough after filling the toughest name on the list. ;)

    Well we already have Brains (Koeman) :)

    Off the top of my head - Scott Parker, Alan Shearer, Gordon Banks and John Terry. Ok the last one is ridiculous ;)

    Also the defence completely switched off, then virg flew in, then fonte fell over, and the midfield were nowhere to be seen, yeah not great all round.

    The silly thing about the whole save of the season scenario is the fact that the last few games are ignored to be able to put the list together. You could argue Boruc's penalty save could have been included. It was a bit like the goal of the season competitions which used to miss the last weekend when the FA Cup final was not shown on the same channel as the Premier League. Don't get me started on the fans voting in competitions like this, it is beyond the ridiculous.
