And Eto'o in Rome.

And falling over for Lampard's in Moscow.

VdS had a shocker across the three finals, but will forever have the save that won the trophy

Always nailed his colours to the red mast, prefer he hadn't gone to City but he never hid where his loyalty lay and that's why they never took to him.

Hughes, the Danish keeper, Kidd etc all played to the bertie gallery.

In order of @#%&!ishness it's

1/ Kidd (by a million miles)
2/ Hughes
3/ Schmeichel

Harsh. Deflection played him in on goal, VDS guessed near post and Lampard shot across him. Probably a goal even if he'd had stayed up.

Also made a very critical excellent save later in that game to prevent a Rio own goal.

Who now supports City. If he was a mate down the pub he'd have been laughed at and then @#%&!ted comprehensively.

What at? Certainly not goalkeeping.

debatable really.

VDS would have struggled 1992-2000
PBS would have struggled 2000-2009

When I say struggled, I mean 'not been as effective'

and most mportantly, IMO.

Because of their ages at the respective times? Experience? Haircuts? I dunno what your criteria are. But the Dane was a better goalie than the Dutchman. imnsho

Shut up you #@&%!.

He's a judas bastard that's been fully converted.

Even his own family think he's a @#%&!.

Maybe, but he might have closed the shot down quicker? He slipped in the second half too on an Essien shot which luckily was off target.

I also recall him clattering into the back of one of our defenders when they nearly scored. And I thought he should have done better with the Lampard and Cole penalties. Honestly, I think it might have been his worst big game, but his best ever moment at the end

Agreed.

Schmeichel would have saved the Eto'o goal in Rome IMO.

Absolutely adore Edwin though. Probably not as good a 'keeper as the Great Dane, but a better representative of Manchester United who just oozes class.

Schmeichel is an awful television pundit, FWiW; chats endless shit. Happy belated birthday @#%&!o. Best 'keeper I've ever seen, tbf.

You not having it on the pens, then? To me the Lampard one he looked slow and the Cole one got enough behind it to push it out?

Remember in live time thinking he wasn't doing well enough with them, but I dunno if that was just the occasion

Loved the way he laughed at Terry

So would VDS on most occasions. It was a mistake. Schmeichel made plenty.

I can see that. They weren't brilliant penalties.
