Goalkeepers' Union

Reaction from the key Champions League action, with special mentions for Edouard Mendy, a return for Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and an explosive debut for Dynamo Kyiv youngster, Ruslan Neshcheret.

Rich also touches on games in the Championship and two dubious decisions involving Angus Gunn and Asmir Begovic.

Rich discusses whether Carlo Ancelotti was right to drop Jordan Pickford for the game at Newcastle (and then publicly state he'd be back in for the next game) while analysing the best of the rest of the action from the Premier League and the EFL.

Reaction from the weekend's games, so no UCL analysis in this one. Moving forward, we'll plan to record on Mondays and Thursdays to fit in as much as we can.

Subjects include Edouard Mendy's clean sheet at Old Trafford, two questionable moments in the game between Wolves and Newcastle and three Keeper Capers from League Two.

Rich also offers his take on Bolton boss Ian Evatt's scathing – and rather public – attack on loanee goalkeeper, Billy Crellin.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Apologies for the unforeseen hiatus. We are now back and plan to kick on in 2020-21.

This is essentially another new start for The Goalkeepers' Union. We've set up shop (socially distanced, we must stress) in a shiny new studio and plan to release far more content as the weeks go on.

To re-kick things off, Rich has provided a comprehensive rundown of what we've not reported on since our last podcast at the beginning of August. 

Good to be back. Onwards and upwards.

Rich takes a look at the performance of Brentford goalkeeper David Raya in Tuesday evening's Championship Playoff Final.

NB: This episode was recorded as part of the Patreon Instagram Live feed, so audio quality is slightly different to normal. 

From being told he wasn't good enough (or tall enough, more to the point) to dropping into non-league and working his way back (almost) to the very top, Flavs touches on that career-defining night at Southend in keeping a clean sheet against Manchester United, honouring his late brother Aaron with a move to Portsmouth and helping Bournemouth on their way to the Premier League.

And that is it for the Premier League campaign.

Rich returns to analyse all the key action from the final day, including Frank Lampard's courageous Kepa call, Ederson's Golden Gloves, a tale of top spin at the London Stadium and plenty more.

Rich and Matt react to the final round of matches in the regular Championship season, before touching on more questionable commentary surrounding Kepa in Chelsea's 5-3 defeat at Liverpool.

No surprises what makes up the majority of this episode.

David De Gea made headlines for all the wrong reasons in Manchester United's FA Cup Semi Final defeat to Chelsea. We look at that second goal from Mason Mount and whether it's fair to suggest he was at fault for all three.

There's also the best of the rest in the Premier League and what some (Rich) are calling the £100m save from Stoke's Adam Davies.

Emi Martinez (again), Ederson (again) and Alisson (you get the idea) are the early focus on this week's BTS.

We also take a look at Adam Davies' return to action at Stoke and touch on comments made by Emilio Alvarez, who recently claimed he left Manchester United in order to no longer work with David De Gea.
