Ronaldo

Charles wants to come and we want him back home. I'd be gutted if he didn't return.

I'd be over the moon. I'd almost forgive him for signing the useless twat in the first place.

You could cut Cattermole's feet off and he'd still be better than that piece of garbage.

We really could have done with that extra £2.5m or whatever to invest in the scouting setup. With 3 or 4 exceptions we've brought nothing but complete and utter rubbish through in the last decade. Pathetic.

Just started his trade, regardless of his age he was still fairly inexperienced and learning. Simple stuff tbh. What on earth are you talking about?

Who's Rudi Garcia Canal Plus?

He's 50 years old, of course he'll get better.

Quite disgraceful that a player with such a lack of ability has been getting a game for us these past couple of years.

p*ss off. :lol:

Aye. Couldn't half strike a ball in his first stint. Came back a completely different player.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Has rafa been beheaded or something? Do you not know man? He was a revolutionary... When all hope seemed lost he made a heroic sacrifice to secure victory for the noble scousers in their battle for freedom against the oppressive forces of Hicks and Gillette. Or, in our terms, he was sacked because he's a f***ing s*** manager. What?

He's not a patch on Jose.

Twas only a month out.

Think it was in Feb.

Said it 4 months back: Pardew isn't a big fan of Nolan.

I must say, if Krul's playing for Holland it's going to be impossible for Pards to keep him on the bench behind Harper. Good stuff.

There hasn't been a Harper love-in since 1998.

If you're going to come out with complete nonsense, expect a bit of fun to be poked. The fact Pardew had us scoring a reasonable amount of goals without a single PL quality striker (for the most part) speaks volumes about his approach.

Neither would I. Bit of a baffling statement. Not when you consider the source it isn't. Wullie would have you believe that Hughton is the black Keegan.

Why? He was saying recently he'd consider a Championship post. To be fair, I thought he was joking / being gently patronising with that West Ham comment. I doubt he'd come, but if you don't ask, you don't get. Oddly, part of me thinks that Ancelotti would maybe act like we owed him something for coming (I have no idea what kind of person he is, so that might be unkind) and would be liable to get big job offers elsewhere all the time, whereas Benitez is looking like he has something to prove. Read Ancelotti's autobiography recently. The bloke basically takes the piss out of himself on every page and generally seems like the least arrogant football manager on the planet. Ray Wilkins also says he's an adorable chap, and he's rarely wrong.

I'm actually encouraged by that.
