The BBC have tried to paint him as a brilliant keeper but even they couldn't get him in top spot in any category....and they fucking picked them.

Strangely no mention of amount of goals conceded against the best team in the world and treble winners....he'd have come too of that one!!!

I wondered how long it would take but here we are, as predicted.. Mounts dad waxing lyrical sat in the rag dressing room about bringing him to old toilet as a boy .. Yeah, special isn’t it, he replied …!

It’s special alright.

But not in the way Mount snr. means.

And an FA Cup final!

I think that City would have still won the F.A.Cup mistake or no.

I watched those two goals again the other day (all Ilkay's goals for City), and I still think it’s harsh to blame the alpaca for the second one.

The ball came through a crowd of players, and he could only have seen it very late.

Of course, he could do nothing about the first.

Regardless of his ability, De Gea deserved to be treated better than that.

Yep, glossed over by the media.
Gave him a 375k a week contract in 2019, offered him a new reduced salary contract which he signed only for them to withdraw the offer. Then asked him to stick around whilst they chased a new keeper.
But its the Rags way of treating players

Average goalie for me a shirt arse goalie never commanded is area could pass out shit his pants when defender passed back to him more mistakes than any goalie I’ve ever watched!

A shot stopper who made 99% of his saves like it’s world class with the way he dived!

Shame they getting a goalie now that truly will save them points…

It was amazing that, even when the shot was straight at him, commentators never mentioned the fact that it was, even though they made a point of saying so for practically every other ‘keeper.
