luckyluke 1 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I think Harper has been consistant when called upon. He has made some great saves and his kicking is far better then 50p foot Given. He should retain his place until he looses form As for England I would have him above Robinson,Carson and Kirkland. James is knocking on a bit now so maybe he will get a chance if he keeps his place and form his for with us, I hope so Was gonna say Harper's no spring chicken himself, but I checked and he's actually five years younger than James, who is 38 this summer, a few weeks older than Shearer!

Guest Patrokles Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Going by today's game, I know who I'd trust more in goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Going by today's game, I know who I'd trust more in goal. Harper has looked very sound, he's not dropped a ball or spilled a shot. He's done very well, these are the basic points and he deserves to keep his place on merit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Good to see a David James 'special' in the first half, just a shame his air kick didn't result in a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 He fucked up 3 times!!! Missed the ball totally with a kick, jumped under the ball when he tried to head it and then threw it straight to geremi 20 yards out. Better teams could have been 3 nil up. He should be dropped like a bird with the clap imo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 He made a couple of canny saves (although the Owen one was a case of a bad miss imo) but I'm not sure he deserved the 8 out of 10 he got in The Sunday Times like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoggeordie 0 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Can't believe he's being credited for the Owen one...he knew fuck all about it, it just hit him. The best save he made was the Martins one low down at the post, all the others were regulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Can't believe he's being credited for the Owen one...he knew fuck all about it, it just hit him. The best save he made was the Martins one low down at the post, all the others were regulation. From a distance it looked like he maybe knew something about it, but looking at the photos if it had been 4 inches left, right or up it would have been in, which probably explains Owen's reaction and James's reaction to Owen. His stop for Martins try was pretty decent though, but I'm sure Owen was sat completely unmarked and calling for it on the penalty spot when he drove that one in.

Probably the same bloke who gave Gerrard 9 out of 10 for the CL game. I got the feeling the bloke who wrote the match report decided he was going to big up James so long as he didn't let in a few. Even the likes of the Sunday Times take the piss with some of their sports 'journalism' like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would have struggled to do the same with Roy Carroll this weekend though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
