Ronaldo

Totally, he changes the whole feel of a game, teams have to dedicate a load of thought and manpower to stopping him. If he was a better crosser he'd be amazing, as he is he's very useful. For me the crossing thing isn't the issue, he's not that type of winger. If he has someone who is quick/mobile and making runs off him I see him playing little slide rule balls into space when attacking the other team - the opposition need 2 players on Jonas or he's gone so that should open space for anyone mobile (HBA presumably being the idea) to exploit. Routledge is more the stereotypical winger putting in the crosses for Carroll when he gets a yard. Could end up being a nice mix tbh, as was Ginola/Gillespie...last thing you want is identical wingers. Aye, i'd hate two Laurent Roberts. We'd get nowhere.

Han Colo, brilliant.

If the youngsters were good enough, they'd be in the team.

Sexy.

The statement served it's purpose, to curb expectations.

I think he talks a lot of sense.

Africans tell fibs, it's what they do best. And here you are lying about Obafemi Martins losing his pace, the irony.

It's football, i can look beyond the packaging.

What did he done?

What?

RB is a higher priority than LB, given that I rate Enrique and Kadar far more than Simpson and Perch.

Great finish by Berbatov.

Yes.

I don't see how. Who gives a shit if it's Rooney?

Leeds.

I remember that now, actually. Absolute (NOTW?) nonsense though.

Too long, however long it is.

Brilliant goal, but Hilario makes it easy by going down far too early.

We were actually linked with Martins as early as late May. So someone knew something.

5 years in which they won 3 PL trophies and the Champions League. He's always been stupidly effective, even if the goal tally never surpassed 30 till last season.

It was nowt to do with Babayaro.

This manager knows how to get the best out of him.

For those who have Sky +, go to about 80:15. "Buy a season ticket to watch that shit!" Made me laugh.

Should certainly be Harper's last season with us.
