he's their vice captain.

i'm pretty sure almunia is ahead of valdes in the spain gk picking order since both don't get a look in. almunia is eligible now to play for england and will do great but i don't think capello is very keen on that idea since they already have a foreign coach.

they've lost away to manchester united and manchester city.

one is manchester united,

and the other is city who they've lost against 3 out of the last 4.

when arshavin gets back they will be fine again, you can't count them out after these 2 losses when they had 2 impressive wins prior to that.

At the same time though, their wins were against an Everton team whose defence was turned into a shambles by the Lescott shenanigans, and at home to Portsmouth, who are the only team in the football league without a point...

He's not among the top 10 goalies at Ar5ena1

If his grandmother were dying and she called him in to see her so she could pass him a family secret that could never be heard by another voice, he wouldn't be among the top 10 goalies in the room.

If he were on a lifeless, soulless vacuum of a planet with no sounds, sights, smells or tastes and the prospect of an infinity of nothingness, he would still have to undergo a trial to get himself a spot on the bench for the Under 12's B side.

when almunia has won 9 major trophies in 5 seasons like Victo valdes come back to me and hasnt always had the quality of back 4 he has now.


almunia had ashley cole, gallas, toure and clichy 4 excellent defenders in his back 4 and he has won fudge all.

and this crap about Valdes making clangers comes from the english press only a from a certain Guillem Balague mainly. he happens to support espanyol. last season he was very consistant.
