Ronaldo

The appearances Routledge made under Pardew tell a slightly different story. He may not have rated him, but I can't see it being the case that Pardew was happy to see him go to QPR without a replacement coming in.

Yeah, 'his' policy.

Any chance you could just stop posting?

If Mascherano plays, Arsenal will go through.

What?

What's wrong with you people?

It'll be one of Nani, Berba, Nasri, Tevez or Scholes.

What the f***, man? Are you really that much of an attention seeking dickhead that you need to resort to this s****? I'd like to see Wolves win for Deano. Is that so f***ing hard to understand? You really are a c***. Because I want to see Wolves win? Ignore the daft little weed, man.

Damn right.

Rubbish. Who'll be better? Best and Gameiro.

Quality on Fifa.

Gomes is a fucking joke.

Rubbish.

Just a shame we can't pair Ben Arfa and Best. They'd dick everyone.

Have we decided on booing him, throwing bricks/eggs or an 'Enrique out' banner yet? All 3 seems a tad overstated.

I'll end up back in rehab if we sign Gameiro.

He shouldn't even be in the squad.

I think we should start booing his every touch, that'll teach him.

You're silly.

Which league is better?

Surrounded by shit doesn't explain why pretty much all of his iffy performances have come at SJP. There's a genuine limit to how effective he can be at home. The games against Stoke and Wigan in particular highlighted this.

He played well against Arsenal at home and we wouldn't have got the draw without him. And? He's a very good player who often plays well. He's just far, far more effective away from home within our team - for a variety of reasons, including the sackless old runt next to him.

The comment about 4-5 players worries me. We need at least 10 - considering all the rubbish that have to be shipped out.

How come that makes him the definition of an away player? Because he's a far more effective player when he simply sits in front of the defence and stifles. Look at his 3 best performances and 3 worst performances and a pattern will emerge. When he's expected to cover more ground, the recovery tackles come flying in and so does the occasional bad pass. He's still our best midfielder by a mile, don't get me wrong.

So it's got nothing to do with him trying to run our midfield on his own? Of course it does, and I never said otherwise.
