Or maybe there's too much emphasis on the things you talk about and not enough on keeping? Or maybe they were always shit, we just never got to see them as there were less live games? For me they've been shit since the advent of the premier league and round the clock football. 

I wouldnt say 'shit since the advent of the PL' but there has been a marked difference between a standout keeper and the rest since around the formation of the PL. You could argue that this is inevitable given how the top few teams snaggle the vast majority of the finances,facilities,scouting staff and so on. The foreign keepers stole a march on British keepers by becoming more proficient with the ball at their feet,punching the ball and using their feet to save also. I'd say this is why so few keepers,particularly British,are not outstanding at all.

A big dosser, as Tyson Fury might say. Why is it always the mediocrities who shout loudest. Completely fucked us out of being in Lisbon this month and running roughshod over Europe like Bayern have.

Well pretty sure he didn't do that deliberately. We've chosen to have a pretty average number two, you get what you pay for.
