BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted October 25, 2011 John Ruddy''s saves to shots ratio in the Premier League this season at 75.5% is second only to Tim Krul of Newcastle at 77.5%. Maybe that''s some evidence too as to why Newcastle prefer Krul to Fraser Foster - and by extension why City prefer John Ruddy to Foster? OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,902 Posted October 25, 2011 But teams aren''t selected by trawling the internet for stats. Teams aren''t selected by watching the tv highlights or a game shown live in some far corner of the earth. Teams are selected by information gathered by people physically going to watch players in competitive football matches. From what I have seen Ruddy should be on the England radar so let''s hope Capello''s scouts have the same opinion. What say you. One banana. OTBC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote] Now let''s use some language and labels that you can understand. In this little banana republic - as in many other little (and big) banana republics around the world plus tinpot dictatorships plus colonial outposts plus communist hellholes plus various american lands plus lands where they speak funny languages - poor souls exiled from Norfolk for months or years can watch 10 televised premiership matches on a full weekend at least 6 of which are live and the others minimally time delayed. Plus of course a full share of Carling Cup, FA Cup and European matches of all stripes. Last season we also saw 2/3/4 Championship matches live most weeks. Not to mention all the live coverage of the Italian, Spanish, French, United Sates and Dutch leagues and assorted World Cups, European championships, Copa Americas, Caribbean competitions et al. Most of us UK exiles get around a bit too so we see our teams live on visits home. And we visit places like Brazil, Argentina, China, Japan ........South Africa, Mexico, Bulgaria, Morocco, Egypt and so on and so on - and take in matches whilst visiting...... Ever been to the Morumbi in Sao Paulo? Oh we get Sky news 4-5 hours per day plus BBC plus American and Canadian takes on thnigs with match repeats and highlights ad nauseum. But of course you see some City matches live from the heights of the Barclay stuggling to see what really happened at the River End and hoping to catch it on some fleeting tv highlights. And poor Cappello, has to see everything live with his very own eyes to be worthy of consideration does he? Like you. No technology. Poor soul. No wonder England are so bloody awful these days. You know last season I saw - apart from a few live on visits home - here in my little banana republic at least 12-15 of City''s Championship matches live on TV - and a great many more streaming on the internet. This season I have seen every minute of every City league match live. And, if life spares, I shall see every minute of every remaining one. When you''re huddled in cold, dank Loftus Road or perched in the gods at St James Park in driving wind and rain squiting to see the matchstick men, I''ll remember that you''re proudly getting, assimlating and processing the ''real'' data live and ''on spot''. Poor Capello, no wonder he can''t get it right. Oh, and we can get Canary call after every match. Remind me again, you call in as Dave don''t you? Pity Neil''s not on again, he could confirm that for me. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MAJESTIC 0 Posted October 25, 2011 ruddy has proved me so wrong wasn''t sure he could cut it in the prem. he has made so much of a contribution , anyone think we need a experienced keeper as backup even more, if he gets injured we are fucked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grantroederdisaster 0 Posted October 25, 2011 I can think of a good reason Ruddy should be on the England radar - - Hes must be one of the top 3 English keepers around? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
