Tony Coton?? Hart isn't in the same league!!

I loved Coton as a kid but that was because he played for City and I liked playing in net. I was too young to appreciate just how good Coton was. I'm not disageeing, as I didn't see TC play anywhere near as much as I have Hart. So genuinely interested to know why you think he was a better keeper than Hart?

I think tonight could decide who stays. I think whoever gets sold would want the chance to play CL football elsewhere so could do without being picked tonight.

I thought I'd read that Hart was likely to start tonight so not sure if that holds true? I'd agree with it otherwise.

Clue: it won't be Joe who stays.

There is no way this is about football because, if it was, he'd have been given a season. Keeper was not a position that gave us a problem.

I'm even beginning to think this decision was actually made a while ago but we were waiting for Pep to arrive and basically give the club a smokescreen to carry it through.

not really, maybe he is willing to learn ? how do you know he isn't. the second part might be true though he might not be capable

I've not seen him in training so I may be wrong in that assumption but his performance against Arsenal mainly and the fact Pep favours Willy leads me to strongly believe he isn't showing the coaching staff the appetite required to master the short accurate pass.

He was my hero growIng up, got to spend loads of time with him during the holidays as a kid, as my mum worked for city for a number of years and would leave me to wander the halls of the Maine stand, until fat franny rocked up.... Alas, I'm probably biased but for me he was the best keeper in the league for a number of years (outside of Rudolph up the road), scandalous how he was ignored by England for so long... His shot stopping, distribution, control of the 6 yard box, was second to none...

He'd be on the phone to a different bird everytime I came in, normally in Jimmy frizzels office, I thought he was the dogs bollocks, however, he then went and had an affair with those cunts up the road and he's now like that 1st love, exciting at the time but a bit of a **** (:

well I'll rephrase. Give the clearest indication, of course the club have decided.

Pep has come out and said Hart is training very well and he's the ultimate professional so enough of this bad egg bullshit. Put simply Pep just doesn't think he's good enough to implement his system, which makes me sad but ultimately we have to support the manager.
Some people have very short memories. Joe has been our most consistent performer for the past 7 years.
Good luck Joe in the future and thanks for the wonderful memories.
Let's all get behind our new keeper and pray Pep is as good as we all think he is.

Also enough of putting words in Peps mouth... post match Sunderland conference:

I just think some of you should watch some of the post match press conference before putting words in Peps mouth about why he made the decision to start Willy(he had more time with what Pep's had them working on) and his thoughts Joe's abilities(in his words it's not that he thinks Joe can't do it) and don't give me he wont tell us what he's really thinking that's just an excuse to put more words in his mouth after he's already said different on record, he may refuse comment but he wouldn't say the opposite.



We'll find out soon enough whether he's really on his way and possibly whether he did step out of line and we'll move on but there's a lot we can't be sure of from the outside.

I agree until this rumor is confirmed nobody should be getting on his back about the player power/bad apple thing but it's NOT that Pep doesn't think Hart can do it because he quite literally dismissed that yet people are still repeating it, how far is Joe off being ready could also be a factor(the rumor that Pep said 6months is unconfirmed as far as I know) and whether Joe would be prepared to wait that long for a game perhaps. There's so much we don't know, yet both sides of the Hart in/out fence are saying they know it all(so many know it alls on this forum), when the facts we have either don't line up or are yet to surface.

Brilliant. I definitely get why you think so highly of him then! Like I say I was too young to appreciate just how good he was when he was at City. Sounds like you had some great Maine Road memories! One of mine was down at Platt Lane in the days where it was access all areas... Paul Lake and Tony Coton were both coming back from serious injuries and were doing some light passing exercises. One of them hit a stray pass in to the groundsmans shed, I went and got the ball back for them so they started including me in their kick about. Absolute gents. Like everyone else I was gutted when Cotton signed for United the next year!
