Ronaldo

He was told to do his job, not to be excellent How do you know what he was told? Because he was was disciplined today ? Too much in my eyes. I feel you a little nervous about Best Sorry?

You need to be more honest, Mick.

Lampard is fucking incredible.

You'd almost think certain posters had an agenda, or something.

Pretty sure we didn't beat Wigan 2-0 either.

You make it sound like he's played more than one PL game in Cheik's absence.

Fair enough.

That's it. Orbit your glaring contradiction.

Like Anderson? Exactly like Anderson. It's beyond me how anyone can argue that Anderson has been one of the best central midfielders this season in the Premiership. He dictates the tempo of the second best team in this league. He has scored two goals from a position where not many score any goals at all, he's been the player who has ran that midfield. As soon as Sir Alex took him off against City, City ran away with four goals, not saying it was solely down to subbing Anderson, but they lost that calmness and rhytm dictating player that they are. He's also been carrying a knock of late, but for first 7 games i'd argue he was the best central midfielder in the league. David Luiz hasn't had a good season thus far, yet he's been average, he would walk into most sides first eleven even when he's not at his best. I don't think he's one of the best in the world, and there are defenders that are better than him in this league, but to call a player like him s*** is ridiculous. As for Captain Colo, the guy has been a genius this season. That second sentence makes about as much sense as your guff about Leon Best. You're the only one arguing it.

Raylor?

Never happen.

Same lineup I wanted for Stoke basically: Krul Simpson Taylor Coloccini Raylor Ben Arfa Tiote Cabaye Jonas Best Ba

Pique is better than Vidic.

All of his goals have come with another striker on the pitch. He's played less than 45 minutes up front on his own in the league tbf so that's not really much of a surprise. The point being that there's no real basis to make the suggestion.

What's the Italian Peter Ramage got to do with this?

Last ditch tackles, recovery pace and throwing your body in the way of shots = the key components of a great defender.

Thankfully, the extreme minority.

No news, which is a bit ominous. Btw I searched his name on Twitter to see if any of the journalists had mentioned owt, and the number of Man Utd fans talking like he's already going there is pretty annoying/depressing. They're Man U fans, man. Who cares what those fuckers think. It's a bit like walking through a crowd of 'special' people on day-release in a shopping centre, volunteers and all. You don't mind if one of them smiles at your girlfriend, or mentions her ample bust. You make exceptions for them.

Woah, some of those passes were sublime. But we can't drop Besty, it will change the team dynamics. Damn right it will. Ludicrous.

His new 'pad' in Jesmond is for his family members, as far as I know.

Not unless he's dead.

More evidence he's better than Ben Arfa.

Such a pointless debate anyway. If he's good enough, he'll get in the team.
