Stop it right now.

Did someone have an incident in a bakery when he was a child?

I think Mark Crossley did. Reading might be signing him. So it would be Crossley and Bunn.

My entire family died in a freak bread truck accident.

[gastric]

It seems Ruddy could be out for a lot longer than expected.

My entire family died in a freak bread truck accident.

How did that pan out?

Have to earn a crust, so I'll make this brief: Norwich linked with a move for Lee Camp.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/gossip/for the summary; http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...es-set-1547350 if you can bring yourself to read/believe the Mirror.

Made a great save late on to help earn a draw v Spurs, I don't think many keepers would have kept that one out, Sigurdsson
surely thought that one was going in.

[Crosby87]

Was thrilled to make the save.

HIghlights (scroll down)

may not work outside UK but one below will.

[nigel-harps1954]

Highlights don't seem to be working there. Try this.

Greatpenalty save from Bunn, granted he did give it away in the first place, perhaps justifiably.
He's a great shot stopper, pretty sure he will be our no 1 keeper before long.
( although as Long is a striker that's perhaps not saying much )

[tricky_colour]

Just been looking at his penalty statistics, he saves over 29%, not sure if that includes the recent one.
That's high, however Ruddy is very slightly higher. A lot of keepers I looked at are a lot lower.
For example Given 17,39 %
Joe Hart 21 5 (23,81 %) saved.
Edwin van der Sar 50 8 (16,00 %) saved.
Petr Cech 49 14 (28,57 %) saved.

Actually it seems they have just updates his stats
Mark Bunn 32 10 (31,25 %) saved.

That's impressive, I did find one player higher but on a statistically low sample of games, there may be others though
One not so impressive

Asmir Begovic 24 2 (8,33 %) saved. Only 8%!!!

It's amazing how low some of the top keeper are on penalty saves!!


Best I found

Ján Mucha 14 6 (42,86 %) saved.

But a small sample of just 14 penos, still good though.

[Charlie Darwin]

Sent off today at Sunderland for handling outside the area. Sounds like he didn't have much of a choice.

[Colbert Report]

He didn't really handle it. Terrible header from Turner put him in a bad spot. It was off his elbow/midriff.

[geysir]

The ball hit his elbow therefore it's handball. As Charlie wrote, he was put in an awful predicament with that defensive header which didn't make it into the box. A craftier goalie might have dealt with the situation better, hard to say as it was a split second disaster response.

[tricky_colour]

Video here, the commentator said it came off his chest but like geysir I though it hit his elbow.

[Crosby87]

I hear he has Bunns of steel.

[Charlie Darwin]

If you're being hypercritical you can say he should have had his arms behind his back to avoid such a situation, but he didn't have much time to think about it.

[geysir]

Yeah, but there's a school of thought, that goalkeepers in that situation work on their instincts, thinking comes afterwards.
It wasn't an easy one for Bunn, the backward header was about 90% responsible for the mess.

[Polster]

He is very good on crosses, would go as far as saying he is a 'Hot Cross Bunn'

[paul_oshea]

Already said polster, albeit in a different context.
