I've been saying it all along, but sandman and the Pro-Federici crew couldn't have been more wrong.

8) Always been our best keeper.

SPARTA Phil Thompson claiming McCarthy is potential competition for current England number one Joe Hart.

9.5 out of 10 MOTM performance for McCarthy today, made it look easy. Flapped at one cross, only mistake all game, although he has room to improve his kicking.

Defence and midfield infront of him was an absolute shambles.

He knows a great deal more than you or I, and he was clearly thinking in the future, not right now.

I'd be interested to hear Micaela Gardner's views on how Mcarthy is getting on.

Listening to bbc radio berks it sounds like he made several great saves and kept us in yhe game. its all good because it now seems we have at least two very good keepers. :D

Ideal In your face federici-fans, McCarthy was excellent today, obvious man of the match.


I'm glad he is showing that he is a good keeper, but Federici is also a good keeper. It's all good.

McCarthy and Andersen are top keepers, I agree.

McCarthy was unbelievably good today, can't praise him enough. Definitely earned us the point today.

:lol: at Ideal & others crowing because he's had one 10/10 game though.

McCarthy did most to earn us that point today, and was easily the best player on the pitch. Cummings was poor today, and Maps was only ok. Gorkss, put in a very good shift for us today.

Yes he was, and at this point I wouldn't want him dropped, but McCarthy having a good game and Federici being good are not mutually exclusive.

Nice to see him getting his chance at the highest level and proving his worth. New chant perhaps; McCarthy for England.... 8)
