Emi Martinez

[Risso]

Hopefully just a 24 hour thing and he'll be right as rain.

[Drummond]

You'd imagine with all the medical and nutritionist staffing we have that they'd know precisely how to fuel him to get him well.

Hopefully. Because if not we have a keeper who has the shits in goal replaced with a keeper who is shit in goal!

Sure there is a joke about "Clean Sheets" in there somewhere

[OCD]

Does the first half clean sheet count in his efforts to break Bozzie's clean sheet record?

[brontebilly]

Only saw highlights but thought Martinez seemed to deal with everything that came his way decisively. Compare that to the second half. If he is even half right he has to play tomorrow night. I just can't have Olsen, he spreads panic. Or worse case scenario, maybe Duran up top with Watkins as playing out from the back with Olsen will be a disaster.

Our Scandi cousins play handball, hockey and all manner of hand-led sports from a young age.

So how does this doofus end up as first choice goalie for a decent national side.

... because the ones who are good with their hands play those other sports?

Could we borrow one of them?

Robin, if you’re reading this sort yourself out or the only Pows! And Biffs! You will see will be from Unai in the dressing room, before he sends you on a one way trip to Blues.

I'm honestly more worried about what he does with his feet right now, stays on his line too much and is nothing like good enough at kicking a ball to replace Emi.

[Brazilian Villain]

I don't often agree with you, BV, but on this we are as one. If we lower our guard against Zacks, a Chad, a Hunter...God forbid, a Todd can only be a heartbeat away.

It cannot stand.

You might want to go and have a lie-down.

Agree with those sentiments entirely, and it is reassuring that we got rid of 'Chuck(y)' as soon as the first significant offer came in for him.

Just watched Behind the Game featuring Emi 1 on BT Sport before tonight’s match.
Compulsive viewing but what struck me the most was how much this guy loves our club - I don’t think he’s going anywhere, any way soon.
So happy to have him!

He certainly is and he really is the definition of the meaning of a being winner.
