5 - Lehmann
6 - de Gea
7 - Courtois
8 - Ederson
9 -Alisson

I want Spunky as Nr. 1, but it's Schmeichel. I still couldn't put him 'officially' as my choice for Nr. 1 as he's also one of the biggest ****s to ever play football

Actually, **** it.

Nr. 1 David Seaman
Nr. 2 any of the other ****s in my original list

Never really liked Lehman felt he could have been improved on. Goalkeepers were Wengers achillles heel.

Many people leaving de gea out for random others, carried united for god knows how long
He was an absolute cheat code for ~5 years. I'd argue that he had the highest shot-stopping peak of any keeper in the history of the league – that 1-3 at the Emirates was completely absurd.

Yeah, surprised me as well. Feel like they may have forgotten him, because it's pretty inexplicable otherwise.

10. Howard

Good shout, forgot about him. Has to go into my Top 10 instead of Given and Jääskeläinen.

Julio Cesar and Almunia in the mix.

Júlio César was class for Inter, to be fair to him.

Lehmann was perhaps too erratic to be regarded as top 10, but his performance in the 2005 FA Cup final is perhaps the best goalkeeper performance I have ever seen. That Rooney got the MoM was a complete joke.

The fat, diving gimp can have the man of the match...Jens was happy to walk away with the trophy! ;)

League is very weak
Schmeichel, Seaman, Cech, Van Der Saar, and De Gea are top 5 of all time.

Allison, Lloris, Courtois, Given and Martyn make up the other 5.

You feel Lehmann should be in just for being an invincible but others were just more consistent for longer. Ederson pushes himself into that top 10 by the time he finishes.

De Gea for 4/5 years looked supernatural, he was making saves that got you off the chair in shock.

Do Allison and Courtois really have the longevity required though? Allison is only in his 3rd season, and Courtois only played in four seasons.

Long-tenured good goalkeepers like Brad Friedel, Tim Howard and Jussi Jääskeläinen should be acknowledged before them, imo.

You feel Lehmann should be in just for being an invincible but others were just more consistent for longer.

Fair point about this, though. Lehmann also lacks the longevity in the PL. For the sake of consistency, I should probably drop him from my Top 10 also.
