Ronaldo

"Nicky Butt is a fabulous player, that can be you one day."

And it shows.

I'll bet Nolan, Smith and Butt were there, coughing really loudly while Hughton was trying to talk. Or clapping, pointing and making elbowing gestures.

Without the most radical summer ever, we're going straight back down. I don't blame him one bit.

Is the right answer.

Back in for Beckford?

Since when does Carroll have 8 goals? Shola and Loven is the only answer.

If Binnsy were to be believed, Lua Lua is the next Robben.

So tell me when he hasnt been up to it when he has played ? Kadar? He's looked Ok but I certainly wouldn't want him playing when we're up against it. Didn't have a good game against Donny or a particularly good one on Wednesday night imo. Was bad against Brom apparently. Looks a good prospect but he's not ready yet. Williamson is an established defender.

Was Xisco's attitude not bang on last season?

We were passing it mostly backwards.

That he's young and inexperienced? I get sick of this nonsense about young players not getting a chance, the team has to be put first.

Why would there have been?

Aye, shame he lacks in every other department. Yeah.

Got spat at and responded by punching the lad. I don't like him, but at this point i'd take him back.

There's no way we'll win the WC without him. We have a chance with him in there.

Pancrate made a big difference because he has a pair of working legs. Just show's what we're missing.

The striker who's been played most often is by far the worst of the lot.

He's an arsehole and always has been, glad he's english though.

None, in other words.

KK Only signed him because he was cheap. Little Dennis was the one given the money for big signings. Guthrie did nothing at Bolton and has done nothing for us. Except be our joint top assister in the league last season and current top this campaign. So he makes the odd goal, he costs us twice as many with his poor positional play and lack of ability to keep hold of a ball. Which goals has he cost us?

I dread to think where we'd be in the league without it.

Most of team looks pretty unfit. The whole squad stinks of players resting on laurels instead of striving to improve.

Warnock? Crouch? Alonso? All much better than what they have now. Benitez has made a lot of baffling decisions in getting rid of players.
