Ronaldo

It doesn't help that he's got nowt to aim for, most of the time. He should shoot more, he can certainly strike a ball.

Incredible.

They don't link up well together. Folk talking about Lovenkrands getting on the end of flick-ons are projecting qualities that aren't there.

Yep.

Three-game.

You need to lie down and stop talking rubbish/telling stories.

Aye, the writing's on the wall.

Penalty wasn't it? Either way it's another combination that should be avoided. Much rather Shola than Loven though.

Did Shola and Carroll ever score in the same game in the Championship?

Lovenkrands is not an average striker, not at this level. We're the only club stupid enough to be paying him a wage at this level.

Accrington Stanley didn't put out their reserves.

Well, no, an entire career proves it.

That's what I was trying to say.

Nolan's been fucking shit, mate, wake up. In 5 out of 6 games he's failed to do anything you'd expect of a second striker. He's abysmal in midfield and almost as bad up front.

People thinking we can afford a passenger like Lovenkrands in the team are having a laugh, frankly. He wouldn't have got a kick in 5 out of our 6 games so far. He's an example of deadwood we should have burned and replaced as a matter of priority in the summer. What we need is obvious, Ben Arfa off Carroll.

I'm bordering on obese according to BMI. It's complete bullshit, as much as I acknowledge than Nolan is too heavy for his purpose on the pitch.

I like Wayne, but you'd take Babel every single time.

I know, slowmo.

Obviously.

We're 6 games into this season, the stats mean nothing at this point.

Presumably he'll give Barcelona and Madrid a mention when Wigan do us in a few weeks time.

That's it Chris. Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U really do have massive relevance to us getting beaten at home by Blackpool and Stoke. Pathetic.

This season perhaps not. But at least Wayne has had a couple of good games. At Wolves he was my motm.

They've both done pretty poorly. What's your point?

Goalscorers in the squad would be nice, Chris.
