Ronaldo

Have a night off man ffs. What the f*** are you on about? Saying he was making good runs you just cant stop being chief cheerleader, just let it go man. He was poor in the 1st half & lasted 10 mins of the 2nd not because of his good runs but because he had a bad game. I would love him to score loads of goals for Racing because that would mean he comes back full of confidence for us or we get a decent fee for him when we sell him. When I am hearing s*** like he has been that a sub that has been taken off not once but twice I am hoping the reason is injury & not sub standard form. He barely got the ball but made some good runs into the box and I thought that was worth posting given that this is after all a Newcastle forum and he's a Newcastle player.

Have a night off man ffs. What the fuck are you on about?

Andy Cole on the same score.

2-0, worst defending i've ever seen.

That's called 'wasted money' mate.

Racing look terrible, but Xisco's making lots of good runs.

'Past his prime' Ronaldo managed 8 goals in 7 games at WC 2002, says it all about his prime.

Anyone else catch that? Well played.

Was never that talented, just had decent footballing ability and a fantastic engine.

Shola has to start if fit.

You've changed your tune on Brown haven't you? Fair play to you though, good defender.

He gets number 2.

That's Mancini's influence, Lescott is a good defender. Not that they've stopped leaking goals mind. Before sunday they'd conceded 8 in their last 4 games.

I couldn't care less how we get the points. What i do care about is the fact that our wins seem to be predicated on very little. You and I both know that a single defensive mistake in a game is likely to cost us points given our impotent attack. This isn't the case for Brom and Forest and it worries me.

Amazed Gary Cahill doesn't have more votes given his ridiculous hype.

I don't like relying on the defence as much as we do, just like i posted 3 months back that I didn't like relying on Nolan's goals. We have no balance as an effective unit. We all saw what happened when Colo got injured, we dropped points against QPR and Bristol and when Taylor joined him on the sidelines we lost to Forest and Scunthorpe.

Jonas clearly dived against Palace in the first half. Most who noticed it just found it funny because it was so blatant.

We're not top of the league because of the way we attack.

He was a top player. Far too much was made of his weaknesses while here.

Far riskier then Dyer?

Viduka, Dyer, Bramble, Woodgate, Calogero from A Bronx Tale.

Ferdinand, Terry, Lescott, Upson.

Raul and Juan Pablo, how long before they end up doing each other's hair and spraying each other with instantan.

Heskey has to go on account of his proven partnership with Rooney. In the group stage especially, we KNOW they'll perform.

This Inman sounds a bit tasty. Lord knows we could do with a midfielder with a bit of an engine.
