An interesting debating point I feel!
Firstly some opinion from a former England manager(!!)

(Graham) Taylor, who was in the England hotseat between 1990 and 1993, feels the current national team boss Steve McClaren is incorrect to stand by Robinson.
Taylor, who discovered (David) James while manager at Watford, believes that .....Robinson should even be behind Manchester United's Ben Foster - who spent last season at on loan at Watford - in the England pecking order.
"I know Paul Robinson will not like this but it has to be David for England," Taylor told the Daily Star.
"Going on form last year it was David, Ben Foster then Robinson, in that order. David is a first-class goalkeeper, the best we have."
Now as a Spurs supporter I have a slight vested interest in this, so these are my opinions......Taylor, who discovered (David) James while manager at Watford, believes that .....Robinson should even be behind Manchester United's Ben Foster - who spent last season at on loan at Watford - in the England pecking order.

- Robinson has been unfairly targetted by all and sundry over some 'gaffes' (
). I shan't go on, but he's still in the top three English goal-keepers when he is on form.
- James is not the future of England keepers. He is too old for that, but this wouldn't worry me if he was on form.
- Did anyone read any piss-taking of James after his penalty-conceeding, phantom-diving, poor-defender-commanding display against Arsenal? If not, why not?
- FORM Play the keeper in best form. For me this is neither Robinson, nor James. In fact it isn't Carson (nearly) OR Foster either.
