lol, you have to laugh at the age and spanish 3rd choice arguments. Lets put it this way if David james was Spanish he'd be their 10th choice keeper. Almunia is far better than James, but lets not do the usual english thing and pretend any single idea will suddenly turn us into cup winners. Buffon could move to england, change his name legally to David James, have plastic Surgery, get a dodgey haircut now and then and play for us in goal, we'd still win nothing.
It would be a far more interesting idea if we had a remotely competitive squad that wasn't full of playboy idiots who couldn't care less about winning and only like the paycheck. AS it is, let him play, he's a good guy, professional, isn't out gang banging, raping, drink driving, drunken fighting, gambling all his money away or doing anything else so he can only improve the teams image and lead to some less embarassing performances.
Its yet another England manager whose using the ridiculous english press by getting them completely focused on one idea so no one notices we're crap. He'll probably not choose Almunia due to "public outrage" then when we get knocked out say blame the current keeper for a mistake/poor performance.
