Ronaldo

Neither Smith nor Butt should be anywhere near the captain's armband. I'd like Hughton a lot more if he picked a captain from the those good enough to start instead of trying to placate the senior playing staff.

No, I don't. He wouldn't win alf as many fouls as he does in Spain and he wouldn't find it nearly as easy to go past defenders.

Arsenal went there with a patched up defence, typical lack of genuine steel and needed to score. Not a good example. Going back to my point, it's the games away to Wolves in which Rooney is undoubtebly more suited, despite Messi being streets ahead as a footballer.

I'll rephrase, someone with the potential to get 10-15 a season. Even Kevin Doyle, with 2 good wingers either side of him he'd guarentee 10 league goals.

No chance, as much as i like Danny.

I certainly wouldn't be, not one proven goalcorer in that entire squad.

Getting kicked by Spaniards is hardly the same, Spaniards get beaten up by their wives. Take those goals he scored in that 4-2 win a few weeks back, there's no way he scores those goals in the prem, he'd get bounced from shoulder to shoulder. He'd be fantastic to a degree, but nowhere near as effective as he is in La Liga.

Messi is streets ahead, man. In La Liga, Rooney would probably get sent off in every game for being so much uglier than everyone else on the pitch. However, I don't think Messi would last long in the prem. Players over here are far quicker,stronger and just much better defensively, he'd get kicked to bits.

To a large extent, he deserves the job next season. But we all know it's going to go tits-up, don't we.

Like he'll play. He'll either be on the bench or injured.

I'd pull out all the stops for Charlie Adam and Darren Ambrose if our budget is £15m.

If he failed it has hall mark of Shambles in the mix. Funny you say that, Bramble and Rebellious from here did their theory tests together.

I have bruised knuckles on both hands after last night and not just because I have long arms. Until Barca beat Inter 2-0 I won't be going near my skybet account. My tip would be Bayern/Villa/Liverpool draw. To play it safe; Bayern, Villa (dnb) and Liverpool +1. I hope the smart people of the forum took this advice.

Hull. 2-0.

Only £10.

Proud to be a gambling addict.

A prostitute that holidays in Dubai must be worth a few tabloid headlines.

Sorry Ronaldo, I deleted my post. Decided to stay out of it. Now, your post looks a little strange without mine. You'll regret this.

17? what the hell is all the fuss about? Fair play to the lad.

Fulham have no chance.

Almost as good as Owen fkin off.

0, doesn't make him young.

Because he's inexperienced 10 years as a pro isn't enough?

That perception probably comes from the televised away games earlier in the season.

Why do I keep reading that Williamson is young?
