Ronaldo

Carroll and Ranger.

A 19 year old central defender written off having had one iffy game, says it all. Nobody is claiming he's ready right now, man. Hopefully a few more of our games will be streamed next season and we won't have to endure this guff.

Smith is a seasoned pro at 30 years old, and most certainly did not look good in the Championship. He had 4 or 5 good games defensively and looked absolutely abysmal for the most part.

Kadar is 19 isn't he? He's 10 years off his peak as a defender. He looked OK in the Championship which suggests he could certainly have a future in top flight football. Pisses me off when these foreigners pretend to have seen our players when they're clearly pulling opinion straight out of the air. Ranger on the other hand clearly has a terrible attitude and plays like he has no clue what his responsibilities as a striker are. His finishing in particular is what i'd expect from a Conference player.

not if he can't fuckin kick the ball it's not Erm, what?

Everton?

Better than Danny Simpson from what i've seen, good talker too.

Leeds? Yep. And tbh, up until that poor kick in the 94th minute, he was probably the best player on the pitch. Such a confident keeper for a young lad.

Crouch is way ahead on the floor, man.

Forster has looked as safe as houses in all but one of the games i've seen him play. His kicking needs work, but it's an easy fault to rectify. Krul is very talented, but looks all over the place when it comes to claiming high balls. Both very good prospects.

They must be desperate, that's an old quote from Hughton.

No, anyone suggesting we play Alan Smith (in any system) in the PL is asking for a slap. Danny Guthrie alongside him? Wake the fuck up.

Steven Taylor's reputation is a perfect example of the effectiveness of media manipulation.

I just hope he continues for a very long time with Liverpool, they'll be relegated in about 3 seasons with him 'leading from the back.'

Argentina scored 10 goals in 4 games prior to today's game, they were pretty clinical in all fairness. Very tempted to buy a Spain shirt now, I don't ever remember wanting a country other than my own to win so badly.

Spain looked a completely different side against Portugal without Torres on the pitch and this was more or less replicated tonight. He looks lost and well off the pace.

Stick to comparing Hughton with Mourinho, Einstein.

Upson and James were equally to blame. All central defenders make mistakes. They're in the firing line for 90 minutes.

These Africans seem to support whoever the flavour of the month is.

It's very blatantly Nile.

And just what exactly was an act of sheer stupidity?

Nolan will never recapture his Bolton form of 2006, but he's probably our best shout for captain, given Colo's language barriers and fairly passive personality.

Which bits did Arry say & which bits are yours. I've added some nice big marks to help you out.

Harry Redknapp referred to him on Talksport today. Said he "was interested last summer" but his contact "up North" told him recently that "his attitude stinks, is constantly late for training, has just got his name on his car ( ) and will end up in the lower leagues as a result."
