Ronaldo

I do mind. I'm just not hugely bothered about it.

I like him very much as a player, and have defended him time after time when I thought the criticism was unwarranted and his value to the team was being underrated by some.

This is exactly right. Some seem to have this image of him as a durable, tough-tackling powerhouse with a terrific engine. He's anything but.

Barcelona.

In the middle he's the square root of shite, Matt. Gets bullied far too often and no longer has the legs to be considered a grafter. He's a wide-midfielder who sometimes drifts inside, usually to the team's detriment. Whatever gap Barton leaves, I'm convinced Cabaye will more than fill it.

Barton a grafter, yeah right. He might try hard, but a lot of players do.

If Shola gets a new contract i'll sell my season ticket. Not paying money to watch League One standard cunts like that waste of space piss about the pitch.

Thing is, he'd just be a backup to Cabaye this season. He wouldn't be happy with that.

Went into Sports Direct today. Gorgeous lass behind the desk asked me to buy a bag because it would entitle her to more hours over the summer.

Yeah.

Part of me thinks this is what he wanted all along.

Glad your not manager, you'd have got shot of Cantona and Romario cause they were no longer worth the hassle. Barton doesn't even appear in my first choice starting Xl anymore. I'm not sure how this situation relates to Cantona and Romario, but well done for throwing those names out there. Very impressive. Really ? Braving the unknown instead ? I don't think Barton would work as part of a midfield 3. Said it all along.

The only hassle I've witnessed is a few muppets on a messageboard crying into their keyboards. Right. Well if you could afford the occasional newspaper you'd see that his words create negativity far beyond the forums that we just don't need when trying to attract players and maintain a modicum of team spirit.

He's a good player, but no longer worth the hassle.

That looks like a punishment for Forster and Willo.

Doesn't help a winger like Routledge that none of our strikers (bar Best) like to play on the shoulder, like.

Simpson's technique is atrocious. He's one of those players who generally does the defensive basics without asserting himself. If the MOTD analysis bunch ever get their hands on him they'll have a fucking field day. Under pressure he's awful, absolutely awful.

Thank Christ we sold Carroll.

The bloke can't run or control a football. It's nothing short of a joke that he's still on the payroll.

The YT vid of the first goal is rather amusing.

Stop this counterproductive nonsense for a start.

Ryan Taylor is as much a defender as Mike Williamson is a winger. Raylor's a decent set-piece taker. Every other aspect of his game is crap, absolutely crap.

How about Raylor? Doesn't get worse than Simpson in defense, but Raylor is much better in attack. Raylor manages to be far worse defensively. How? I don't know.

They'll have already been informed that if the correct bid comes in they'll be sold. Don't see what use handing in a piece of paper will do, other than appeasing the Nees. So that neesy can have the opportunity to slag them off for being disloyal and greedy and being liers. When have I said Barton has lied? Its f***ing you saying that people are lying on here, w*****. Come on, man. You're better than resorting to that.
