Joe Hart

He’s a legend in his own head.

He had all the tools to be one of the best but there were a few technical issues in his game that he didn’t or wouldn’t rectify. He made some amazing saves but also so outlandish mistakes. That one vs Southampton where it went through his legs was such a basic mistake that should not be made for a prem keeper. Maybe he thought he was too good to work on his weaknesses but he was brutally exposed a number of times and he never seemingly worked on it. Which is either arrogance on his part or neglect of the coaching team.

He did have some great games for us and never really says anything too negative towards us in the press so I have no real ill feelings towards him but he could and should have achieved so much more than he did rather than scratching around the likes of Torino and Burnley and spurs on the subs bench.

I'm scanning this and can't help but feel it is a little contradictory.

When he left us his career was effectively over, for whatever reason his skills had deserted him, was it all the paper chat about him being superhyped and the way they went for him after the freekick goal?

He was never the same since he shagged that tart Jordan and all the super injunction stuff and no doubt the grief he will have been rightly getting from his Mrs.

All contributing factors, he should still be in his prime but he isn't but this does not detract from his time at City and what he did for us as we went from losers to winners, he was a major part of that.

All keepers make basic mistakes every so often even the worlds best make howlers that they wish they could forget
 
Maybe I didn’t quite word it correctly. Just because I feel he should have done more with his career or made basic mistakes doesn’t make me dislike the guy or have Ill feelings towards him say like someone like Barton who has talent but was a plank on and off the pitch and has never really said anything complimentary about us.

Again I know what I mean in my head but I’m probably not articulating it as well as a want. Apologies in advance for any confusion.
 
Could you fuck. You couldn't do it if you were 22 and fit as fuck, you old ****. You need to come home, America is melting your already mangled brain. Just as well im so mild mannered and accommodating in the face of blatant misrepresentations. Some people!
They called me Mad Eyed "The Cat" Screamer back in the day for a reason......

Always pisses me off when that goal is bought up. If fucking Rooney hadn't lost the ball cheaply then given away the free kick with a petulant foul maybe Harts career would've been different.
 
You're dead right.
Always did his best. Didnt fit in with Peps philosophy. Went on a downward slope when he left us but when he was with us he put in some great performances.

Probably took it harder because there wasn't much he could have done to fit in with Pep's philosophy and play as a Sweeper keeper. 10 years at the club and then cast aside for not having skills that weren't seen as important when he was a rookie.

Gary Lineker has mentioned when he played at Barcelona and Cruyff played him rightwing because he wanted to change the style of play and force GL into moving on.

Parallels with Guardiola and Hart, he could have knuckled down and tried to improve his footwork but he would have always been a square peg. That's no good for a perfectionist like Pep.
 
Did Beyonce not sing a song about him...

"To the left, to the left, everyone shoot into Hart to the left...."?
 
Shite and has been for years. Shame really, wasted his time at Spurs and proved by that switch he wasn’t really arsed.
