Is this the same Ben Foster who ran round punching the air when Gardner scored the winner against Villa???
To call him a Villa sympathiser is laughable...my opinion of course.
Fair enough that's your opinion, it's a shame you have to call mine "laughable" but each to their own.
I remember watching the game in question, it wasn't just the mistake it was his overall performance from start to finish. Everyone has off days but on that day his was so, so bad that a Sunday League keeper would have been embarrassed by it. For an experienced, international, Premier League keeper like Foster to put in that kind of "performance", capped off by a rash (to put it kindly) foul in the area to gift Villa 3 precious points, was beyond an "off day" - it was borderline intentional.
If we are getting the Ben Foster of his first season with us when he returns from injury then fantastic, he WAS a very good keeper at this level. However, since then he has rapidly declined even before this injury and I suspect he is finished as a top keeper at this level. We shall see.
