I'm sure I heard a brilliant US stream for one of our pre-season games in the States in 2011. How and why the fuck are we still subjected to nonsense like this?

What'd he say? He plays like a kid in the playground and his judgement is very poor, or something like that.

Souness not mincing words re. Barkley.

Dummett's our best LB by a mile. Colback, as shit as he is, needed replacing in January and wasn't, so there isn't a lot of choice. i get the argument for them all on an individual basis but when you look at them collectively almost one third of our outfield players are absolutely fucking useless it's really no wonder we struggle at times carrying those three (granted dummett is a capable defender at this level) keep dummett, drop diame back to CM with shelvey and play perez or atsu instead of him...we're at home against one of the worst teams in the league It's disappointing that Atsu isn't getting a game in front of Gouffran. Atsu's shown he's worth more to us off the bench against tired legs, mind. When he starts and the onus is on him to create stuff I really haven't been that impressed with him.

He's the personification of the Championship, Prutton. Just utterly shit. A wretched Poundland version of something else. Sooner we leave it all behind the better. I've had enough now.

Yeah, he's generally been good. Class is too much.

In today's PL he'd easily be a 200K per week player.

Can't think what biases former academy players might have.

Bit harsh on Monk, mind.

Pretty accurate, mind. Wigan's definitely the armpit of Greater Manchester.

We're supposed to be a PL side in waiting with 10 our best 11 players available playing at home against a rubbish club destined for League One. We should be utterly ashamed if we don't win.

Think what you want, mate. He did a kind and selfless thing for a family member a few years back well away from any publicity and was always extremely generous with his time from what I saw as a kid. Not to mention the fact he's arguably our greatest player in recent memory. Pardew ffs. You should be ashamed of yourself for such daft comparisons, like.

Tell Gazza what he did an hour ago, I'd bet he'd be equally shocked.

Aye, I take it all back.

He probably refused to sign HTT's Mercedes.

I'm not the one going off public stuff, you are.

Beardsley's a fantastic bloke. I hate that he defends Ashley but away from that he's a top, top man.

My dad and him regularly got the same Thursday night flight from Gatwick to Newcastle and he said the same, that he was an affable fella. Fortunately he recognised he was a shit manager. I'd still think he was a cunt if he sent my grandma flowers.

That tall one looks more like David Batty and Matt Ritchie than CRon.

He certainly looked pissed off about it when we got dicked by Fulham. In my view, and probably his, in large part due to our lack of penetration out wide and mobility through the middle.

Massive difference between that one and the one needed this summer. Huge profit vs huge outlay.

You're leaving us? Say it ain't fucking so.

They're always progressing well, before the window opens.

Don't kid yourself. Any indication that the January farce will be repeated and he'll be off to whoever makes him a good offer.
