The Daily Diatribe: Paul Robinson is shite
By: Brian | April 7th, 2007I just watched a pathetic goal by Richard Carvalho* trickle past England’s #1. He was a few yards out of position and reacted slower than a three-toed sloth. And this is England’s #1. McClaren may not be the man for the job, but neither is Robinson. David James, Ben Foster, can John O’Shea please be eligible for England?
Also, Mido is shite, but I think every Hotspur fan knows that by now. What is Jol thinking teaming Defoe with Mido? Is he trying to make Defoe look bad? I think Jermaine’s on his way out of there and we would be more than happy to take him. He seems to play well with Gerrard on the English National Team anyhow.
This post has little to do with Liverpool and I apologize, but my second love, and first curse, is England, and I just could not hold that one back. You’re comments on anything, what you had for breakfast, how many girls you banged last night, who killed JR, are welcome. Gracias, ciao, and have a glorious Saturday.
* I would just like to make a sincere apology to all my Portuguese fans out there for calling Ricardo Alberto Silveira Carvalho, Richard. I feel really bad about it. Lord Percy Percy is a great player. The greatest player to ever play the game in fact. Thank you and don’t go fuck yourself.
Because I care.

That was a bad goal for sure, but Robinson is the least of England’s problems. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, even the best. Robinson is a very good keeper. Fans like you don’t notice 10 superb saves that could have been goals, but pick on one mistake. For example, he was savaged for the goal he let in vs. Croatia, yet to anyone with a brain there was nothing he could have done there. It was a terrible bounce off a bad field. As simple as that. He was actually brilliant in that game. He was not the reason England lost. He was the reason that game was even close. Croatia could have scored about 10.
By the way, you’re not perfect either. It’s Ricardo, not Richard.
I’m a fellow Liverpool fan, but try to keep silly rants to a minimum and be a bit more objective. How many horrible errors has Reina made this season?
Mido is not shite either. Defoe has been missing tons of chances this year.

I didn’t say anything about the own goal vs. Croatia. I also didn’t say Robinson was the only problem with England. I just think he’s not part of the solution. McClaren’s stubbornness not to play anyone else, like say, David James, who was tremendous in goal today, is more the problem.
Yes, I claim to be perfection. My blood is the blood of Gods, ambrosia that provides immortality to all that drink it.
Reina is ten times the keeper that Robinson is, because he’s got balls.
Be more objective? It’s a Liverpool blog. Liverpool is the subject.
Mido is shite. Ask any Tottenham fan, he was good to start out with but shite ever since. He’s not even in Defoe’s class.
We’re gonna win the league, we’re gonna win the league.

Yeah whoa tonto.. yeah whoa.. how about giving Carvalho a bit of credit for doing the job that his forwards couldn’t do!!
Plus give a BIG UP to David James for making sure Portsmouth beat MANURE tonight.. and aq BIGUP to Rio for the own goal LOL LOL LOL LOL !!!
Plus Reina isn’t exactly world class either.. he flaps at crosses like a curtain blind in the wind
COME ON CHELSEA!!

Hey Andy, I’d rather see Chelsea win the Premiership than the Moors Murderers.
That was a very saveable goal though.
Reina’s better than Cech. I hope we play you guys in the next round of the CL.

Brian: “Reina’s better than Cech.”
Someone must have spiked your Carlsberg, because you sir are delusional. Reina’s not usually this awful (though I bet you remember that one), but there are at least a half dozen keepers in the prem alone that I would prefer over him, including Robinson.

Delusional? 30 clean sheets in 55 appearances last year. Yeah, you take your six including Robinson and have your circle jerk of idiocy.
Wait, before you get all giddy in the ectasy of your own personal reality, what was the score last time Reina and Cech faced off? Oh, nevermind. (Please give me an excuse.)

Reina and Cech played one on one recently? I’m sorry I missed it. And look, having X clean sheets in Y games says a lot more about the quality of a team’s defense than the quality of the goalkeeper. If your team concedes a penalty and you lose your clean sheet, does that make you a worse keeper?
The best keeper on the planet is the one who makes the saves that no one else can. I think no one comes close to Cech in that regard right now. Against Pompey the other week he made a some of the most jaw-dropping stops I’ve ever seen, 100% certain goals if it had been anyone else between the pipes. Had Reina been in Cech’s shoes that day he would have picked the ball out of his net three times at least.
Finally, your analysis of the Carvalho goal shows you to be about as observant as Stevie Wonder. Robinson was in good position and reacted just fine. However his center back (Rocha?) leaned into the path of the shot, forcing Robinson to stop his momentum in anticipation of a likely deflection. When the center back changed his mind and let the ball by he left his keeper no chance. That goal was clearly the defender’s fault.
