I may as well stay in bed instead of travelling down to Spurs being picked up at 7am - this is all going to end badly me thinks.  How could anyone think Olsen is good enough to start for us.

This is why France should have won. No worries about players missing games for Villa
Good point. Count me in for having it all replayed lobby.

Is this a joke? Or did you misread the Olsen comment?

He was better against Liverpool than the previous nuclear powered cluster disaster. But he gives himself, the team and fans the heebie jeebies.

63 caps for Sweden suggests otherwise, to be fair

Swedens number 2 once played 24 games for Swansea, in between spells in Scandinavia, Turkey and Holland. There is literally nobody else.

Might be true, but to suggest a player capped 63 times by any country is 'wank' is ridiculous. Not suggesting he's great, or that I would want him in our goal, but we do as fans have a habit of writing players off based on a handful of appearances.

I don't care how many caps Olsen has, my eyes tell me he's a Blues goalie. If he plays against Tottenham we concede 3+ again.

He's let in 3+ goals in each of his last 4 appearances for us.

He looks like a frightened rabbit in the headlights and scares the death out of the rest of the defence.

I don't care if he's got 1000 appearances for the Tuvalu national side, he's not good enough to play at this level.

Signing players of this calibre should be a case for instant dismissal.  He has played enough games for whoever scouted him to realise he just isn't very good.  I'd imagine our defenders are shifting themselves before they even get changed.

I’m just regretting the fact he got to play a handful of games and conceded a fistful of goals.
