By Martin Sanders • Nov 14th, 2008 • Category: Keeper NewsAs most nights like all football fans i always make sure i get half an hour of skysports news in to catch up on all the days footy news. As a goalkeeping freak the first thing i look out for is the goalkeeping news. Last night i had to laugh was i seeing things David James in a Reliant Robin? Surely not!
After spending a few minutes this morning trying to find a photo of David James in the Relinat Robin i came across the story on the dailymail.co.uk web site.
No more baby Bentleys, Mercedes convertibles, Pompey’s players will be forced to drive home from training in an old Del boy banger if they put in a poor training session.
All the Pompey players have chipped in to buy a decrepit old blue Reliant Robin. The worst player in training each day must drive home in as punishment for his poor performance.

The England stopper reassured Portsmouth’s fans that he intends to see out his contract with the south coast club. The England international has been linked with a possible move to Tottenham to rejoin Harry Redknapp when the transfer window reopens in January.
However, the 38-year-old is happy at Fratton Park and would be delighted to see out the remainder of the two years left on his contract.
“As far as I’m concerned I’m here at Portsmouth and happy at Portsmouth,” he told Sky Sports News.
“We’ve got a mission to do in Europe and in the Premier League and I’ve still got another two years left. So I’m happy to see those two years through.
“At 38 I’m delighted to be in a position when I can even talk to you as a first-team goalkeeper.
“I think Portsmouth have come on because what Harry has done over the past few years it has to be said, but we haven’t finished and I see myself as part of that future.”
