Ronaldo

My only worry for Hughton is that we'll win very few games at home, and a lot at SJP don't care about the away games, to some extent. The crowd will eventually forget where we were last season and begin to demand results.

Williamson is in the team to deal with balls like that and is better equipped to do so than Colo because of his height. He's closer to goal and knows he has to win that ball yet goes up without convinction, eye's closed, and helps if perfectly into Roberts' path.

Or Shola, tbh.

We all know he's poor.

Just returned to full training IIRC. All over the pre-game pics on .cock. I imagine he'll be back at the weekend in some capacity. He's worth a slot on the bench. I'd back to him to score a league goal this season ahead of Ranger and Lovenkrands, if he gets a go. I agree. He's a better option than Shola in games like tonight, too.

I we can't beat Blackburn or Fulham at home, we're going to be down there, it's as simple as that.

Allardyce made sure he was marked, and therefore completely nullified.

It clearly isn't just me who saw Williamson have a bad game tonight. Colo, Williamson and Krul could all have done better for the second goal tonight, Williamson most of all. As for the Bent goal, a ball that close to the keeper is his responsibility. No idea why it's being brought up now. Some people just can't admit they were wrong.

Yes, but Ronaldo needs a scapegoat and who better to help him gloss over Coloccini's rick than Mike Williamson, the man he's slated and put down even after good performances? Link?

We have one of the best defenders ever to grace the PL on the bench, even if he is old. Williamson has done OK, but no better. Then there's Taylor, who's quicker, as good in the air, and like Campbell; a threat in the opposing area. Bit like Ben Arfa replacing Jonas at Everton. If the player is better, it's worth a try.

From England cap to benchwarmer in 90 minutes Which idiot(s) mentioned an England cap?

4 PL goals in about the same amount of starts now, and playing really well. Mental that we didn't offer him a contract but kept the likes of Lovenkrands.

He's hardly well-built, is he? He's 6'4. Got to be 13 and a half stone ... Well then, my point stands. He's tall and fairly skinny.

I really want to see Campbell or Taylor come into the side to partner Colo. The guy offers next to nowt outside his own 18 yard box and is average at best inside of it.

He's hardly well-built, is he?

Do we plan to lose to every relegation rival? Pathetic.

Carrolllllllllllllllllllllll

Ranger on.

f*** off. It's mental isn't it. Playing against Blackburn and he wants the two most physically inferior players in the squad on the pitch.

Erm, was there 12 games between, West Ham, Sunderland and Arsenal I wasn't aware of? He was Ok against Arsenal and West Ham.

Who is then? Probably Lovenkrands Wake up.

Who is then? Precisely, what a stupid post.

Terrible from Tiote. Same old Shola; one good game in the midst of four bad ones.

Chelsea did it plenty.
