And it is occasionally, as far as I know only 2 keepers in the PL era have scored when going up for a corner/free kick, and both have a Villa connection.

I was just walking out of Goodison when Schmeichal scored, we'd been utter garbage all game and we'd had enough.

I did exactly the same Lee even though I only live a few miles from Goodison - I was about a couple of hundred yards away when the cheers from the Villa fans was audible - we were poor that day

Heard rom a reliable source (the wife, so it's probably been posted on a Facebook group) that Reina has gone. Any truth in it?

He had certainly gone somewhere at the crisp bowl.

Has it been confirmed anywhere that Heaton and Wesley are allowed to play, if fit?

It's ambiguous but they won't be fit in time, anyway.

Haven’t seen anything of him. He should be well over his injury by now.

The point is irrelevant as it virtually never works for any goalkeeper. Still worth a try when you are going to lose anyway. Seems an utterly bizarre thing to criticise for.

How can it be worth a try if as you say it virtually never works?

Because it occasionally does, would be my guess.

occasionally?  only 4 goalkeepers have scored during PL  (10000+games) i think you mean very very rarely

I was there and saw the goal. A collector's item if nothing else. I think we had another corner after it or am I imagining that?

Nigel Sims missed an absolute sitter against Bolton.  He injured his hand and because there were no subs in those days and we had an international goalkeeper playing centre half he stayed on as a makeshift striker.  All 18 stone of him.  He had a Villa shirt under his green jersey but it was tattered and torn.  Years later I saw an Incredible Hulk film and it all came flooding back.

To really assess it you would need to know how often a team has scored when the keeper goes up (as oppopsed to just the keeper scoring) - as it  always causes some confusion in the defence and has therefore contributed to the goal.  You would then need to compare this against how may times a keeper has gone up for a corner in total.  For a true reflection you would then need to compare this with the scoring ratio from corners in the last minute when keepers haven't gone up.

For me, given the confusion is causes and there's usually nothing to lose, I think it's worth a try.
