Ridiculous? He's England's no 1 with a world cup just around the corner. Imagine Gerrard getting dropped by Liverpool for poor form.

Gerrard is one of the greatest players in his club's history. The same can't be said for Joe I am afraid. Hopefully one day Joe will win a Champs League for us but he has already put out title notions at risk.

Cheerful upbeat Tim pontificates again. Gerrard is part of the club's history because of his age. By the time Joe gets to Gerrard's age, he'll still be young for a goalie and will be one of the greatest players in OUR club's history

I hope so too mate but while Joe is a good goalie, he is a bit short on footballing sense, for example, which balls to come for and which to stay in his six yard box.

I would take Panti becoming a legend as well if it meant lots of trophies.

I'm old enough to remember Keith MacRae.

Sadly me to- Wembley 02/03/74 :(

I don't remember Keith McRae . But I do remember Joe Corrigan and Alex Williams in the 80s. I remember Alex Williams being a decent number 2 keeper to Joe Corrigan in the 80s .It was a shame injuries cut short Alex Williams career .

Things could have been a lot worse than Joe and we had a keeper like Paddy(Roach)Perch whom played for the Rags.
Comedy at it's very best.

He wasn't 'short of footballing sense' for the 3 years he won the golden glove. He's just having an off spell fuelled by the microscope he is currently under every minute of every game. I was astonished at the last home game to see that ALL the press were behind the City goal despite the fact that we normally score 3 or more goals at home and normally the press would want to capture that. But no....they were hoping for a mistake by Joe. How must that make him feel - and when the fans desert him too .... Joe's already a legend for us. A young goalie still, playing for US who has been England's number one for some time now.

The fans have been very loyal to Joe and sang his name at every game over the last month. It is a credit to the Blues that we sang Costel 's name in midweek after a fine display.

The decision to leave Joe out midweek was much publicised according to ssn.

That is a gross contradiction and why did you feel the need to say that the fans have been very loyal to Joe? He DESERVES our loyalty. As for the midweek game, I expect ALL City fans to support whoever is wearing the shirt on the night - so why is a credit to the blues that we sang Pants' name? Actually, did we sing his name? Where were you sitting? However, the fact that we sing for Pants when he's playing doesn't mean we think any the less of Joe.

joe hart should get a pay cut now that he is dropped to the bench.

But we don't know that he is dropped to the bench. It is only press speculation and does Pantilimon/Kompany/Lescott/Milner/Richards et al get a pay cut every time they are dropped to the bench?

It would been hard for you to miss the Costel chants because many fans were singing his name on the way down the many flights of steps. You may not have recognised the chants during the game since Costel rarely gets a chance in goal? Costel showed class in not coming to close to our end at the end of the game to lap up the appreciation.

Yes we have given Joe good support and Joe has recognised this.

I hope Joe does become a legend for us (you think he is already there) but I suggest he has some way to go -'particularly when I hear the Nicky Weaver song sung on Wednesday night and no mention of Joe.
