本來新堡門將這個位子，十年如一日，都是由 Given 把關 然後 Harper 作替補 不過 Given 自從去年被人肉坦克 Harewood 撞傷後 Harper 這一年首發機會增加不少，表現也愈來愈好 於是今年出現了一二號門將首發之爭，真是甜蜜的煩惱 <(￣▽￣")/ 上場對曼城，Given 搶回一號門將位置，兩位開始嗆聲了.... http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_2772423,00.html Given對此評論是..."Sorry for Harper" 　　"We both get as frustrated as each other. We both want to play and the manager's decision could have gone either way. Steve could have played just as easily." http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_2773799,00.html 至於 Harper，則決定為了首發奮戰到底 　　"The battle goes on," 　　"It goes without saying that I was desperately disappointed to be left on the bench on Saturday but, I must say, what made it easier for me was that I lost my place to a top-class goalkeeper. 至於我們的大山姆先生則解釋了讓 Given 首發的原因...... 　　"I just thought, on the Arsenal performance, it was the right thing to put him in. That was my gut feeling," 　　"If ever there was a player who did not deserve to be dropped, it was Steve Harper. 　　"But you have got to go with your gut feeling, and the gut feeling was to go with Shay based on the outstanding performance I thought he put in against Arsenal." -- 隨著傷員的逐步復出 當大家狀態都很好，這種爭首發的情況會愈來愈明顯 希望是帶給隊員間正面的影響，但求如此 --
