Cech had a blinding season around 5 years ago, apart from that he hasn't been close to being the best.

I think the voting stems from that 1-0 defeat you suffered at the Mad Stad. Not what you really all think.

Most top teams in the World would rather have Cech than Given. But then, these top coaches know nothing about football. :lol:

Although I must commend the good fishing attempt on this topic! :lol:

Does Trappatoni know nothing then gr8 m8? He said Given is the 2nd best keeper in the world after Buffon. Not sure I'd go as far as th@ but he is far more consistent than Petr the h@.

But then I'm sure Mourinho/Ancellotti/Hiddink would rather have Cech. So I don't see your point really.

2 of those managers have inherited him. I don't think any manager would actively go out and try replace him, he is still a decent keeper but if you had both keepers at one club and were picking, I'd personally go for Seamus.

Thought Chelsea did well at the weekend and put up a good fight despite the obvious financial disparity between the teams. Showed plenty of fight and good team spirit against a team who are just splashing the cash to buy the league

I wonder how Cech would have fared behind that newcastle "defence" last year? I remember watching the Liverpool game in the pub before Soton away last year when the toon lost 5-0 and feeling genuinely sorry for Given as he was extraordinarily good, but he had to be

Has he ever had a defence in front of him like Newcastles last season?

Given by a country mile.

I still think that Given is Hughes best signing at Man City.

Shay Given has always been a quality keeper and must have single handedly won Newcastle shed loads of points year upon year. It was only when he left that they went down. Tbf he's not as good as Cech was 4 years ago.

Is it slightly wrong that I view Cech as our remaining mark on the Premiership? He is though. He's the main reason why neutrals will remember Reading.

Shay Given is by far a better keeper, Cech has been pants for about 2 or 3 years now.
