Is Begovic really that good? I make a habit of not watching Stoke, but when I have seen him play (mostly against Arsenal), he's actually looked poor to me rather than good. So the fact that now he's being hailed as the best keeper in the league is bizarre to me. It wouldn't surprise me if he's just the fad of the day though. I know he's recently been linked to Man Utd, so it wouldn't surprise me if a bunch of people in the football media have read that and just assumed he's really good without having seen much of him.

From what i've seen of Begovic he's a pretty good keeper but because he's a lesser known player at a lower profile club then he gets praise for stuff that people expect from a De Gea or Hart for example, and gets less criticism and spotlight.

If Lloris continues his form he will be the keeper in the TOTY. The only thing keeping him out is that he's played less than others in the league. Begovic is worthy at this point, IMO.
Re: 2012-13 English Premier League/Cups Thread - Where attempted murder happens
Begovic is quality. Makes plenty of saves on a regular basis and some of the real top draw. Maybe not top keeper in the League but there's some tough competition.
Rollin at Villa. Deserved win though for Bradford. Played better football than Villa and defended better. Hines looks real quality. Villa are conceding in the 2nd leg so they need 4 goals basically. Bradford at Wembley

more clinical. Demba, meet bench. Better get used to it son. Oh, i'm so shocked at Ba's 0 assists. I'm not sure he knows what a pass actually is. (not bitter)
Going for 2-2 here.
