Ronaldo

I'm quite surprised any professional club would want him, tbh.

I think he will too, but it won't be here.

He's had 2 good games in the last week, to be fair.

It truly was and you've gotta respect Ian in a way, actually. He defended Pardew relentlessly against all comers but the second he suggested Hatem should drop a few pounds.....well Ian wasn't tolerating abuse like that.

I agree with most of the post but he genuinely doesn't lack pace, like. Far from it.

10 points from our last 4 league games, like.

Yeah, Brighton win their home games and usually nick something away.

It was December they sacked Hughton.

Murphy better suited to any game than Gayle. You don't half talk some shit, man.

The bad games he's had have pretty much all all come in the Championship.

Do you not need to go to the Brighton match instead?

This is definitely true. Not a PL player yet by a long way.

He's unstoppable when he's fit, like. Like, literally, nothing can be done about him.

Aye, OK.

You've got nowt to worry about then, really. If Rafa's still here next season I highly doubt Mitro will be.

Thing about Dummett, his weaknesses wouldn't, in theory, be exacerbated by a move up to the PL. There'll be less of an onus on him to go forward with it and he seems to be similarly effective defensively. I do agree we need a better starting LB long term, though. Hopefully in the summer.

He definitely didn't play well today, like. Certainly not in the second half.

To be fair, there's at least 3 posters on here that want rid of Rafa. Brewce will unfortunately get them up next season imo.

Need him back. Give me a fucking break.

Yes he got him with a high foot.

I'm sure I've seen that joke on here about a dozen times too many, like.

12 goals by early Feb is pretty impressive, like. He'll finish on 20 at that rate.

I feel a bit bad for him and I certainly don't see a lack of application there. Rafa's system demands a quick striker with intelligent movement who can play effectively in isolation. This isn't Mitrovic and never will be. Their working relationship has no future.

Carson twice (in one minute) tried to win a penalty by pulling Lascelles to the ground on top of him. I hope his car gets hit by a train.
