Heurelho Gomes Continues His Ode To Paul Robinson

2008-11-16T02:01:45+00:00

Tottenham fans must've thought they were making an addition by subtraction in getting rid of Roboslop in the summer. Added bonus being his not-all-that-inexpensive replacement was fresh off an outstanding season in the No-D Eredivisie, so things were looking up. Well, it appears Gomes is just the Brazilian Robinson - though a few Brazilian keepers [.

Steve McClaren’s coaching methods continue to work wonders

2008-10-28T15:23:05+00:00

So that's where Paul Robinson got the idea... I didn't wake up and decide it was National Pan Steve McClaren Day (surely every day is Pan Steve McClaren Day), but that is the way it has turned out. Thanks to Off The Post reader Koert for spotting this beauty. Fast-forward 4mins six seconds into this video [.

Heurelho Gomes’ Uefa Cup cock-up for Tottenham against Udinese

2008-10-24T09:00:56+00:00

Paul Robinson: allow yourself a wry smile When your team is going through a bad patch it is good to know that you have a reliable keeper between the sticks. Like Tottenham and Heurelho Gomes, for instance. Here is the Brazilian goalie helping his side on their way to Uefa Cup defeat to Udinese last night.

Is Spurs’ Heurelho Gomes Just a Brazilian Paul Robinson?

2008-10-23T21:30:23+00:00

Didn't Tottenham Hotspur replace Paul Robinson because he was prone to horrendous gaffes? If so, were any of them worse than today's UEFA Cup shocker from Spurs' current keeper Heurelho Gomes? The first touch was bad enough, but Gomes at least recovers in time. The smart thing at that point would be to boot it clear.

West Brom Enjoys First Away Win of the Season

2008-09-27T22:59:00+00:00

Defender Jonas Olsson scored in the 53rd minute as a young and inexperienced back four held strong against today's continuous Boro attack. West Brom's players enjoyed their first away victory of the Premiership season. 23-year old goalkeeper Scott Carson performed admirably throughout the match.

VIDEO: Goalie whiffs on backpass

2008-09-23T20:47:00+00:00

Paul Robinson you have some company. Those this guy can blame his defender a little bit for a difficult pass.

Robbo you're still just staring at some bump in the pitch.

Robinson still the best claims Ince

2008-09-22T10:41:40+00:00

Paul Ince is still convinced that his new signing Paul Robinson is the best mean to be in goal for England and still rates him as the best goalkeeper in the Premier League. Robinson had a fantastic game at the weekend and he kept a clean sheet as his side won ...

Blackburn 1-0 Fulham

2008-09-20T16:22:54+00:00

A game we could have won. For one thing we had several good chances to do so; for another Blackburn were fortunate to have eleven men on the field after several brutal assaults on Fulham players in the first half. Good start: Simon Davies' cross was diverted towards goal by Andy Johnson, only for Paul Robinson [.

The thing about Brasilian goal keepers...

2008-09-15T21:40:00+00:00

Maybe this ought to be a referendum for English teams buying from the Dutch Eredivisie, either way it's a knee-jerk reaction. Monday afternoon against Aston Villa, new Tottenham No. 1 Gomes was nothing short of abysmal in a 2-1 loss. Let's put it this way, if Paul Robinson's and Dida's DNA were combined via some sort of Dr.

Theo! Theo! Theo!

2008-09-11T03:23:12+00:00

England beat Croatia as Slaven Bilic's team hit the dirt as Walcott peppered them with some fine marksmanship. Walcott walked off with three goals and a porn star in hand. But this is better news for Arsenal as it needs Walcott to pull the trigger more often.

Capello's men forgot to hit the self destruct button as they entered the Maksimir Stadion.

How many Tottenham players played for England last night?

2008-09-07T16:22:00+00:00

Listen to Spuds and they will tell you they pride themselves on having an English spine and are forever goading Gooners with their foreign legion jibes.

Well, how many Spurs players were playing for England last night? NONE!

That's right, NONE! A club who have sooooooooo much English talent and not one can get into the England team.

Europe’s 10 Most Overpriced Transfers; Or: Prem Transfer Roundup.

2008-09-05T14:00:16+00:00

Sadly, we could've turned this thing into an all-Prem list, but did our best to look elsewhere. Didn't turn out so well. The problem is so many sums paid in the Premiership dwarf that of those in other leagues - Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1, etc. - that it can make their normally [...]

I'm Back!

2008-09-01T15:04:00+00:00

It was a hectic weekend here in Erie, but one that I wouldn't mind living again. I posted early last week that I'd be taking a brief leave of absence to get situated at college, which is what I've been doing for the past few days.

Clearly I've missed a lot in the soccer world with the transfer deadline having come and gone and a whole round of fixtures played.

Weekend Snippets -- August 30/31 2008

2008-09-01T13:03:00+00:00

Bakari Koné... not actual size

Premiership -- Paul Robinson has had a wretched start to his Blackburn career. The Premiership's second worst goalkeeper last season, is off to an even worse beginning to the 2008/9 campaign. So far, 31 shots faced - 7 goals conceded. Leaving aside Robinson (as Fabio Capello should have) Blackburn have been playing well.

Spurs Boss STILL Hunting For New Recruits

2008-08-21T17:35:35+00:00

Spurs manager Juande Ramos has confirmed that he will continue to splash the cash before the transfer window slams shut on September 1. The Spaniard has already spent £40million this summer, but having also recouped big fees for the likes of Robbie Keane and Paul Robinson, is still keen to add to his squad.

Ipswich Town learns of player’s wantaway wish through social networking site: Will he have a job next week?

2008-08-20T14:52:24+00:00

You'd think that after watching former Crystal Palace striker Ashley-Paul Robinson's social networking blunder blow-up in his face earlier this summer, other footballers would be a bit more careful when talking about their personal lives in such an open forum. Well apparently that doesn't seem to be the case, as .

Football video: Brazilian goalkeeper messes up backpass

2008-08-19T09:39:00+00:00

Internacional keeper Cleber seems to be angling for a move to Blackburn Rovers as Paul Robinson's understudy. You see, if Cleber was capable of dealing with a fairly strong knee-high backpass by cleanly volleying the ball upfield, he would probably be a candidate for the Internacional strikeforce. But he can't and he isn't.

Link-o-tron: Soccer Statistics

2008-08-19T09:12:00+00:00

I stumbled upon this rather excellent site last night. These fellows are most definitely kindred spirits. They enjoy data analysis and footballoutsiders.com, they reference Miguel De Cervantes and Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol, and they don't like Martin Samuel.

They've composed a very good piece about the tribulations of Spurs which makes my Paul Robinson diatribe look hideously basic.

Just Say No To The Back-Pass

2008-08-18T23:00:44+00:00

Bruno of Brazil Offside fame found a wonderful clip from recent domestic action featuring a goalkeeper and the goalkeeper's worst nightmare: the back-pass. If done properly it can save the defense's bacon. If not and the plan somehow goes awry, in the word's of Daryl, you can look like "a more athletic Paul Robinson".

England squad for Czech Republic friendly

2008-08-17T07:31:00+00:00

England take on the Czech Republic at Wembley on Wednesday, 20th August in their last friendly before the World Cup qualifiers begin in September. Surprises? Darren Bent misses out with Emile Heskey recalled and Paul Robinson comes back as well. Bentley stays in the squad as does David Beckham, and Theo Walcott will be pushing for [.

Millwall 1-1 Southend United

2008-08-16T18:46:00+00:00

Southend United threw away the full three points as Millwall rescued a point with an injury time goal.

Alex Revell scored after 7 minutes but Ahmet Brkovic equalised two minutes into stoppage time.
The Blues made the perfect start when Dan Harding's free kick was misjudged by home 'keeper David Forde.

Are Tottenham the richest club in the premiership?

2008-08-14T13:23:00+00:00

If the news that Levy is now holding out for £32m for Berbatov is true, it will put the transfer right up there as the biggest in British history, joint top with Carlos Tevez who Utd are thought to be spending the same amount on.

The comings and goings at WHL this close season surely rival that of any other summer, but the figures this year have been off the charts compared to previous seasons.

Spurs Sign Another Keeper

2008-08-12T11:59:00+00:00

Tottenham have blostered there Goalkeeping options with the signing of 36 year old Spanish Goalkeeper Cesar Sanchez from Real Zaragoza. Sanchez is expected to play second fiddle to Tottenham's other goalkeeping signing Heurelho Gomes who joined the club earlier in the summer for £7.8m from PSV Eindhoven.

Spurs close on Real keeper

2008-08-10T01:12:00+00:00

Tottenham are closing on the signing Real Zaragoza keeper Cesar Sanchez. The 36-year old veteran is likely to complete a move to White Hart Lane early next week, where he is to provide cover for Spurs first choice keeper Heurelho Gomes.

The former Spain international has been linked with a move to the Premier League side for a while now as Juande Ramos continues to add to his squad.
