I especially noticed when watching England that I actually have some nerves when the ball goes towards the goal, unlike when we play as I know if it’s saveable then Emi will save it!

I think this every time I watch any team play, including Villa. My belief in him is so absolute that when one goes on it was either a completely unsaveable world class thunderbastard, or he let it go in out of pity for the opposition.

Sulberto21 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 His replacement Franco Armani conceded. So Franco couldn't keep an Emi Martinez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conceded the first shot on target that he faced Martinez was only rested because he had a yellow and this was the last group game I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know, you might get some Representative for Wellingborough of a ref who hands him a yellow for something innocuous. Better safe than sorry.

alreadyexists Posted June 29, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2021 I think it was tactical, they used the sub keeper in the last group game which was less important than the quarter finals, so that Emi didn’t risk another yellow and miss the quarters through suspension.

thabucks Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I wonder if he gets a commission for his role as agent Martinez ? Guy is fast track becoming a legend for us … Best since Bosnich who I loved ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I honestly believe that he’s been the major factor in our improvement, we’d suffered too long with poor keepers. Can you imagine having gone into this season with Nyland again??? He’s been a revelation for us and provided much needed reliability, inspiration and leadership. What a player and what a man, best signing in years if not decades. His influence is huge and so positive too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) I've just realised we are missing a great nickname here. Keepers are often nicknamed The Cat. He's Argentinean. He should be The Puma Edited July 2, 2021 by sidcow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one of the ones that’s the other way around I think once you step outside the tabloids - Argentina hate England but apart from a few 50+ blokes who still care about the Falklands and a few 45+ blokes who are sore about the 1986 handball most people I know either love Argentina for the flair players they have had over the years or are indifferent to them. Kind of like the Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been a huge fan of Messi, so I have a soft spot for Argentina. Even when he retires, with Emi M a regular now and Emi B likely to become one soon (and Alvarez, if we sign him), that interest will continue for a while. They're great fun when they click.
