Ronaldo

We are not going to spend the lot on new players. At all. Says you.

Unwatchable, Champions League style.

How?

Marriner's rubbish at his job.

£20 on Madrid 3-0.

What an absolute load of crud. Yeah, Huth should take the corners and Etherington should be in the box. Ancelotti wants him taking the set pieces so Lampard can hang about on the edge of the area and Terry/Ivanovic and others can compete for the headers. Anyone concluding from that tactic that Drogba has 'no heart for battle' is suffering from either bias or stupidity. Or both.

What an absolute load of crud.

No width.

I bet Schmeichel never made mistakes at 22.

Haven't Blackpool lost 9 of their last 10?

I honestly don't know.

Wasn't for Phil Brown.

Except he's athletic, and somewhat handsome from the right angle.

Forster sent off.

He was doing OK. They've been sliding badly for a while, though.

Giving the lad a chance is ridiculous, yes.

Give over, man. You don't actually want to see the lad do well, because it'd make you look even more stupid than you do now.

Neesy, God bless him.

You know the game's a week away, right? It isn't tomorrow morning.

Looking forward to the day we finally win somat. That mackem replica of the Tyne Bridge will suddenly get very busy, and the world will be a far better place.

Not a clue.

Reminds me of NUFC06.

Might delay it till May and spend a few days in sunny Salou; travel up by train.

Introduced the lass to Barca tonight. Told her it was football at its most beautiful - which it almost was. Easily talked her into going to Barcelona for a weekend and seeing them play in a couple of months, well happy.

So you want it to be s***? Unsurprisingly good.
