Ronaldo

Was?

Marveaux.

Wish it had included clips of the 2 disallowed goals, plus his victory in the crossbar challenge. Great vid, all the same.

TRon and Daglish, man. Get over it.

Injured. 16 stone. Likes to Party and 'Party'. Now he's on the comeback, but Man City have changed managers so often since his debut, no one actually knows who he is. I do like Man City this season though. Watching David Silva and Nasri is fantastic. I saw Johnson in Cheshire 2 months back, and he looked a lot lighter than he has previously. Fair play to him.

It's either that or nothing. I'll take the radio.

I said it with complete affection, not hostility. Seriously though, there's nowt wrong with a word Pardew's said there.

Shut up. It looks fine in print.

Besarfa.

He's like Lee Bowyer of 10 years back, but less mobile.

Collymore is mostly right. Gets the Ulkrika thing thrown at him by callers on TS a lot, and usually handles it pretty well. Also correctly predicted Liverpool's demise shortly after they finished 2nd - saying they needed to sell Gerrard, or they'd slide down out of contention and the top 4.

"You'll be cutting my garden in the summer."

Heard it about 30 mins before the game kicked off on the radio.

Before the WBA game he'd seen Sammy smiling on the pitch shortly after he (Macdonald) had seen the teamsheet - which Sammy wasn't on, even as a sub - and offered that his attitude disgusted him and 'typified all that was wrong with the modern game'. In his day young players cared more.

Most certainly has. He looked effective for a period under Roeder, but came back from a long-term injury with at least a stone of extra muscle, and he's never really looked good since. Extremely slow with terrible balance is a nice way of putting it. Must say, I read that article and feel sick about what Malcolm Macdonald said about Sammy in May, the fucking arsehole.

Eh? What about Laurent Robert?

Through the years I've said everything I want to about Alan Shearer, frankly.

HTT considers it to be 10.

You seriously want to 'debate' the difference between 9 and 10? Give over.

This is getting rather gay.

There's very little to judge, as it's all in black and white, really. Shearer's record doesn't really match up to the very best, as good as it is.

Depends on the gulf in quality. I think it's pretty considerable in this case, as I've made very clear. In other words, I'm starting to get angry.

And Ronaldo is quite clearly a better goalscorer than Shearer. It's quite laughable that someone saying Shearer deserves a 9 would provoke this much arguement. He was great, but there's no arguement for calling him the best, or as good as the best.

Not sure if you're all actually this biased, or just trying to appear so. Nowt to be proud of either way.

But not as exceptional as some. We have to call a spade a spade.
