yeah I don't get why Hart's being blamed. It was the defender that looped the ball over his head with that daft attempt at a backwards clearance.
Hart's just like all the English goalkeepers before him is just a media scapegoat.

Hart was definitely at fault, Nastasic could have prevented it though.

This is absolutely fascinating.

Asked on his views on the Glazers (1st question) and avoids answering.

Loses his temper halfway through: 'you've got your facts wrong'

Mad to see Ferguson spoken to like that. He was very uncomfortable. Media aren't scared of him anymore cos he can't ban them.

That was a stupid interview, the guy kept asking him about politics. Christ he's the greatest manager of all time and your gonna ask him if he supports Blair or Brown more?

He should have known Nastasic was going to head it to him, there was just no need to run out. Nastasic forgot his keeper is a klutz though and should have headed it away from goal for a corner.

I would say he has been very lucky with the way the media have treated him up until now and has come away relatively unscathed each time he's made an error for England. Compare the infamous Robert Green + Ben Foster blunders vs Croatia + USA to Hart's vs Poland + Scotland.

The only person who's came out and criticised him was Roy Keane. Neville slams De Gea for the goal he was at fault for at Spurs last season but won't say anything negative about Hart (understandable because of his role in the management of the England team), but when you've got sections of the media suggesting things like the ball being too shiny you know something's up.

3rd time Hart has done that this season as well (Villa + Bayern). He has a track record for this type of error.

Hopefully, come January a decent Prem team will sign Forster and then if he proves himself as he has for Celtic he will become England's new number 1.

Drop Hart, win 7-0.

Please with the Man U result but we're still 8th which sucks. If we can get a good string of results till January, then sign a big, world class player, we can still easily get champions league and maybe still challenge for the title.

Welsh derby on now (kicks off in 10 mins)

Going to be mental. Would like Swansea to win.

0-0 so far.

I've watched three games this weekend (West Ham/Villa, Everton/Spurs and Cardiff/Swansea) and so far they've all fucking finished 0-0. Not a goal in sight for fuck's sake.
