Take note Shay / Joe.
This is how a professional acts when somebody takes his spot, not spitting your dummy out and looking somewhere else.

It's so easy for an outfield player to get a go and to say motivated because they will always get games, but it's not the same for the keepers, Given is a fantastic keeper but despite that he's gotten one game this season whole everyone else was rotated. It doesn't matter what he does Mancini wont give him a game which will mean that he'll leave in January and that's not because he won't fight it's simply because he wants to play.
There was a big interview from Given all over the papers yesterday and it didn't get a mention here. An interview that reflected elvery well on his character and would show Bellamy a thing or two about how to act no matter his frustrations.
