Ronaldo

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.

As if I got a Sky Sports notification about that, man. Who fucking cares?

We've got to stop letting teams get a foothold in the game at SJP, like. No more being passive in our own half waiting for them to blink first.

Who do you reckon Cronky has more time for, KK or Sammy Ameobi?

Look at some of the rubbish we've played out wide in the PL since our last promotion: Alsoran, Raylor, Jonas, Sammy, Barton. Knockaert pisses all over them.

Not the right fit for Rafa, the club 'model' or the player. Not a lot of point in discussing it.

Come on, man He's a very decent player to have on the counter. I've no idea why Spurs bought him, mind. Sums up my thoughts exactly. You could barely find a midfielder less suited to Pochettino's style.

Under 2-1s? Is that where they put a restriction on the amount of the goals you can score? Nah, different tournament re. Viana.

Nah. You've got to remember, even when fit he was being rotated with Colback. Clark's one of the first names on Rafa's teamsheet.

I'd read that more as evidence of the conditions needed for him to thrive.

Who writes this shit?

Wouldn't be opposed to him being first choice? We went down the last time that happened.

Gayle and Shelvey. I wouldn't think anyone else.

Shot stopping's the easiest part of keeping anyway. At Championship and PL level they're all good at that.

We're running really hard - can't sustain it all game - and playing against a German B team. Hardly our strongest Xl, like.

Gotta wonder if Defoe will score that 96th minute winner to keep them up if going down means he's effectively able to return to London and write his own pay cheque.

I'd think he'd possibly be the best option for that position, like.
