HANDS up if you remember the sitter that Sylvain Wiltord missed against Newcastle last season writes Mick Jones

What about that tackle that Marcel Desailly mistimed against Dennis Wise? No? I thought not.

I bet one thing though, in five years time, you'll still remember Jerzy Dudek's howler on Sunday. I may just have stopped laughing by then myself. It shows one thing: when a keeper drops a clanger, it's going to be memorable and costly and it's going to be funny.

Despite the fact he has looked ropey for a while, Houllier was standing by his man and even the press described him as a more reliable keeper than Fabian Barthez on the day. At least you know who not to ask about the best lottery numbers to pick.

Sadly, there didn't seem too much credit given to Forlan. The man the press all love to slate did not have the best of games but the criticism of the goals seemed unfair.

Someone credited the first to him just trying to make Dudek clear it quickly and the second to the keeper not covering his near post well. Maybe I have it in for the London press but, if it had been Henry in the same position, the first would have been Henry's predatory instincts and the second would have been power and precision.

Anfield seems to have a knack of bringing out the worst in keepers. Gary Sprake famously threw a ball into his own net in front of the Kop. They made him feel better with a serenade of 'Careless Hands.' That and Stan Boardman's 'Those Germans bombed our chippy' seems to be the best example of the famous Scouse wit.

David James didn't manage to acquire the nickname "Calamity" without reason and Westerveld became so unreliable, topped by his cock up at the Reebok, that Liverpool bought two keepers within days of each other.

And it is not only Anfield that has been struck by the hoodoo. Massimo Taibi conceded a soft goal and tried to blame it on his studs. Even Barthez showed last year that a World Cup winner's medal would not keep you out of one of those Nick Hancock Christmas videos.

No matter how big the keeper, they are only a split second away from infamy. David Seaman famously copywrited the 'Safe Hands' name for himself. After the Brazil game in the World Cup, I'm sure there were a few England fans that contemplated legal action for false advertising.
