@Stephen, of course he’s not ready right now, but he looks like he has potential, without him on Saturday, it could easily have been 6-0

I think I agree with Rio and all the other sane people in this debate. If a dog is born in a barn it doesn’t make it a horse. He doesn’t WANT to play for England. He just would, given the opportunity, assuming spain would never ask.

Hargo is English, he just speaks a bit funny.

England are not that desperate for keepers to have to get an old over-rated Spanish Keeper to play for England, Its just not the England way.

England is not like france and co. Where we get as many forigners to turn English.

How can you compare my Hargo with a flop that started wearing gloves at the age of 30. He cant even stand Ben Foster when fit. I will advise him to start training with Ben Amos for him to be near perfect,if not,he should battle it out with Casillas and Reima.

Actually Owen’s Mam is Welsh, hence his Welsh first name – obvioulsly he chose England as the best option for him to play international football with Canada being too shit (do they have a team?) and Wales being too good – the competition on our sick bench is just too good for Hargo….. Bellamy, Collins, Giggs (hmmmn), Gabbidon, Bale,

He made a good choice me feels!

^^^Just what i was about to write, we have up and coming keepers that can take over from calamity James when he retires. Theres Foster, Green and even that Blackburn keeper(i’m not sure if he is English though) who looked good(at least against us). Nothing special about Almunia, they younger keepers should be given a chance.

Calm down rocafella..no need for that.

Anyway Almunia is hedging his bets. Which means he’s the whore….pimping any country that will give him a game. That smacks of desperation and lack of class.

You’re a shite keeper for arsenal…shite that spain wouldnt look at you twice…and even shite enuf not to play for england…END.

Now p off….and if you want to play international football that much…go to kazakhstan for 5 years and get citizenship there. You may just get a chance there.

bye

1 ) I have issues with Almunia because this is a man who’s wavering back and forth with his nationality and will obviously play for whichever country lets/chooses him. It smacks of a mercenary attitude. This is in contrast to Hargreaves, who made it clear that whatever country he was born in, he was going to choose England because of his parents (or other, unrevealed reasons).

Rocafella – those comments to Sue are way out of line and distasteful.
Scott – Is there going to be action taken against Rocafella? There’s freedom of speech and all but calling a fellow commenter “whore” and “cunt” is NOT acceptable behaviour, even if such remarks (perhaps, I’m not getting that impression) made in jest.
