Ronaldo

He's a midfielder, he's reponsible for passing, breaking up the play and generally driving the team forward. He does this very, very rarely and should have been dropped or at least rested long ago.

It's getting a bit daft now like. He's another one carrying too much weight for his frame.

"If Nolan’s goals were important, they pale into insignificance compared to his leading contribution to the no-holds barred pre-season conversations where the players set their own high standards for the coming campaign. Rigorous self-analysis comes easily to a 29-year-old who will not allow his calmness or Chris Hughton’s kind words about him today to cloud the issues." They even got his age wrong, wankers.

Are you serious? His lack of fitness ruined his career.

I always though Shep lived just off the bottom of Jesmond Park W next to the Melbury rd roundabout.

Rangers Notts County Newcastle Bayern Fulham (draw no bet) £15 returns £95

Roughly 3/1.

Exactly my point, basically. Praise from him shouldn't be taken seriously.

I'd imagine Smith covers more ground, just.

Man U (draw no bet) looks good at 5/6.

You must know that he means alongside some new players to fill the other spots. Yes, obviously. Such as Routledge? Who ended up at QPR btw. Let's not kid ourselves. We'll need 3 new midfielders and 2 new strikers at an absolute minimum to stay up.

Praise from Hughton means nowt man.

£4m, they must have all had a forum party that week.

I wasn't referring to the 'Fat Frank' thing tbh. And no, Lampard has always seemed to be in good shape to me.

Love the fact there's a picture of Lampard in a kevin Nolan thread.

Oliver was the same man, he had an obvious agenda against certain players whilst giving his usual 'ace' suspects ridiculously high ratings. There's just no need for it. I wish Robert had just burned the entire building down instead of thumping him.

Alan Oliver mark II, protect the wankers who give him the interviews and take cheap shots at the easier targets whenever possible. Absolute cunt of the highest order.

Should we win our next 10 games, yes.

Coloccini probably passes the ball better than anybody at the club (although Guthrie on his day is a very efficient distributor). I can completely see why folk would like to see him in midfield but realistically his presence is needed more in the centre of defence. Anybody advocating a partnership of Williamson and Hall for the rest of the season simply doesn't know how bad Hall actually is. Although he seems to have done alright so far in fairness to him.

Those players didn't survive, mate. They're all playing in the championship.

It's testament to how non-functioning our CM is. People want our best winger and best defender in there, Enrique will be next.

Harper, Jonas, Barton, Guthrie (maybe, as I've said), Routledge, Smith, Lovenkrands, Carroll are players I'm confident of that they can do a job for us next season (in the Premier Leauge). We won't get to top 6 or top 8 with those players but we should be able to stay up. Very optimistic, a fair few of those just haven't performed well at top level.

He's our best defender and should stay in defence.

S Taylor needs to be given the RB spot.

Defeats to Scunthorpe, Forest and Blackpool. We're missing an awful lot more than a couple of players.
