Ronaldo

I'm a Routledge fan, but just look at Traarabt's stats, man. There's no comparison.

He's a far better option than Lovenkrands, at this level at least.

Isn't there a bit of a contradiction here? The thread title says 'two to three weeks' but the Fulham game is in 9 days and it sounds like he's 50-50.

He's strolls through games, always has done.

He's been pretty rubbish for the most part.

Warm weather? It's about 4 degrees warmer than Tyneside.

Ha.

Thank god we've got 30 points on the board.

At home, yes. He was OK at Anfield.

Three assists would almost double his PL tally for the last 55 games.

Deary me (shakes head) There's an image.

He was roaming. He did a lot of that in The Championship for us, as it happens.

He put in a couple of good crosses, yes. As I said, it was one of his better performances. Still doesn't change the fact he's a poor footballer who will hopefully be replaced.

I wish we'd have tried him off the striker.

You're imagining things.

Who don't I like?

Lescott cost £8m more than Shearer.

Same old story, then. Not his fault he can't cross or shoot.

It's a religion thing. No point in trying to understand these strange folk.

He was stretchered off.

And not a sniff of a goal or an assist. Hopefully Ben Arfa will return and remind folk what a winger is supposed to do.

He's a grown man who pretended to be injured after giving a completely gutless and inept performance, what reaction did you expect?

When they get knocked out of the CL.

I'd rather we sold Taylor than most of the squad.

It's every week, man. The second they get their noses in front he's calling to the bench. They'll win nowt with him in charge.
