Which keeper would you rather have?

[Victor Meldrew]

Shay Given used to go out with my cousin

What's his name your cousin?
Oops there's me thinking that more than two of the current Irish squad are gay.
As for which one is better I think Given is now better in the post-Hunt period as he nearly always seems to be in the right place at the right time and that's skill,not luck..

[No Fixed Abode]

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

Who has the most clean sheets?

Stats don't lie I'm afraid.

Better defenders .......

[TBM]

The stats i would like to see are, shots on target to save ratio.....crossed claimed......penalties saved.......clean sheets etc.

Then we'll know who's the better keeper

I suspect Cech will win all of those. If Given was that good he wouldn't have signed for Newcastle in the first place. He'd have been at Chelsea or Manchester United.

Signed for Newcastle in the summer of 1997; they'd finished 2nd in successive seasons, so they were a better team than Chelsea.

Wonder how Givens back is.

LOLz @ being such a bottler you need to wear a hat to play football.

As you said not-Kes, why did he sign for Newcastle over Chelsea in the first place.

94 - 3rd
95 - 6th
96 - 2nd
97 - 2nd

Is a much better record than 14th, 11th, 11th, 6th.

So I would say he did sign for the better team at the time.

Sounds like a pretty amazing team..

Cant believe Torres gets in, infront of Drogba, considering he's been injured for most of 2009

It's average scores. Had Torres played only once and played very very well and received high scores from the newspapers for that one game, he would have made the final 11.

Tbf this has been one of Gerrard's least impressive seasons for a long time, coinciding with his team's dire form. Still a world class midfielder though. Torres - wtf are you saying?
