Ronaldo

Earnt his reputation? And Sol Campbell is better than Gary Cahill.

Age, and that is the only reason. Hart is far, far better at dominating his box, a better distributor and a better shot-stopper.

If Lovenkrands was anything approaching mediocre, he'd be nailed-on to start.

Almost dropped? According to whom?

0-2 Blackpool, 1-2 Stoke.

As have our two best. He's played in all but one. There's no evidence to suggest we missed him against Wigan.

Given is on the bench where he belongs. Hart is better in every single respect.

Our two worst performances this season have occured with Nolan in the team.

He's a striker.

By that stupid logic, how many 'good' seasons has Given had at a 'good' club?

No he wasn't.

Given's done.

Hart is twice the keeper Given is.

Considering away fans are usually situated behind a goal, you usually get better positional perspective from the TV.

Indeed.

Mancini must have woken up mental. Boyata is absolutely shite.

What's silly, you knee-jerking nonce, is the suggestion that Nolan being in the team has any semblance of correlation with Tiote's performances. Nolan was absymal/anonymous against Man City, Tiote had his best game for us that day.

Tiote didn't have a mare. He looked a bit clumsy, but that was nowt to do with Nolan not being there.

Like who? Like anyone who wants a top quality DCM but for starters I think he would be what Wenger is missing.. Are you taking the piss?

Fantastic yesterday, best game for us so far.

They've actually done well with the ratings:

Krul Raylor Taylor Kadar Ferguson Routledge Guthrie Smith Vuckic Ranger Xisco

Oliver is closer to being Satan than a journalist worth acknowledging.

Butt played something like 4 games under Bobby.

Vuckic in midfield and Xisco up front with Ranger.
