    07-08 or09-10? Because 09-10 was pretty much all his fault. If we had aSzczesny we'd have walked the league. The GK denied us at least 10 points that season let alone gaining a few points like sir chez is now.

    The first one. We were 5 points clear before the Birmingham game. The goals that day weren't his fault IIRC and I don't remember him being to blame much in the subsequent run of draws which cost us the title.

    Bout time really, never rated him always seemed to have an error in him and he made enough let's be honest, from the CL final to his last game. How long has it taken to get rid of the mediocre players, we seem to hold on to them longer than anyone else does.

    He's a nice guy and a good professional but I'm glad he's gone tbh, I never thought he was anything more than a mediocre goalkeeper. He's a classic example of Wenger going for the cheap option rather than the right option, and that has cost us over the last 6 years.

    Almunia is shite but Chesney has had a poor season. Can't think of many points he won us this season??

    He almost cost us third with throwing the Wigan and Norwich home games.

    my fave alumina moment.


    on a serious note, i hope he does well wherever he goes. he never once moaned about us, always worked hard, gave his best and thats all i ever ask for. if the players who play for us give 100% then thats fine by me. he did that. not the best keeper nor the worst.

    that is one of the stupidest posts on this forum. remember liverpool away? without chesney we lose that game 5-0. wolves away produced a blinder of a save and several others. top keeper who gained us points

    Almunia had a good season in 08/09 but this was probably his finest hour:

    Bye.
    I had the pleasure of bring behind the goal he made all those wonderful saves in the first half and where we got our two. A wonderful night.

    Almunia was average at best. I'm not sure what other top club would have had him as number 1 for the length of time we did. Laughable that we stuck with him when he was making an error pretty much every other week, that wasn't his fault though of course.

    Anyway,

    Bye.
