Ronaldo

We're slow, static and predictable, basically.

Perez has injured their keeper.

That's one of the best corners I've ever seen.

Do marginally correct penalties ever get given in this league?

Dummett leads the team talks now?

Good stream.

We've lost every game in which we haven't scored first, though. It's a fair point to make. As said, though, we're not really in competition with Brighton as far as this thread goes.

Is that the Sheridan who used to play for Wednesday? Why's the report being made public?

The lad dies at the age of 25 so there'll be applause in the 25 minute? It's starting to feel like satire now, like.

Given what Rafa's system requires from a no.10, Diame is by far the most most suitable. Not ideal obviously.

Given the fact he's got absolutely nothing at all needed to play the role effectively I wouldn't waste your time on that.

He didn't manage Thauvin, he barely had 4 months with Cabella, and as for 'ruining' Gouffran. Seriously, I don't wanna defend Pardew but you've got to cork this never-ending stream of rubbish posts.

Yeah it'd be Routledge all over again, but better. We'd have huge threat on both wings and teams wouldn't be able to contain us, especially at home. Who would you put on the left? Ritchie, but I'd happily see them alternate.

Oxford next. Happy.

We've lost. Guaranteed to give a stupid foul away which will lead to a goal. Birminghams' 12th man. You'd think he'd replaced Xavi, not an utterly shit obsolete excuse for a midfielder.

I just hope to God we'll never have to discuss either of them ever again after this summer.

Not to mention the fact that Kaka likes him.

Carr's got a contract lasting another few years, man. That's hopefully the only reason the utter waste of space is still here.

I do like Mick.

We're this close to starting Sammy Ameobi at LW, I'd snap your hand off for Wayne Routledge. Goes without saying. He'd still piss all over the Championship, as he did last time.

Unfortunately the rest of his game's about as entertaining as being kicked in the bollocks by a bloke in construction boots.

Return of Rob. Fucking awesome.

There are valid reasons for being cold or lukewarm on a potential Townsend return but what does on the pitch certainly isn't one of them. His performances here were the best I've seen from a winger in over a decade, Hatem excluded.
