Brad Friedel insists there is no 'big fight' with Hugo Lloris and is happy to have healthy competition to be Tottenham Hotspur's first-choice goalkeeper.
Friedel's record of 310 successive Premier League starts ended earlier this month, but the former USA international refuses to mourn its conclusion. "When I ended last season and played all the games, I went into the summer sort of half-expecting this year would be when the run would end at some stage," he said. "You never know when it will end. But 310 consecutive games, can I complain? No. "I never put myself out on the field in a game just to make that number, and I don't think any manager put me out there because of the number. "It's an achievement that I'm proud of, not just because of the number but ultimately because I've kept my form up for this long."
