Ronaldo

To be fair, everyone I know away from here who goes to the game has had enough of Colback now.

It this actually not all just parody? I can't help thinking of Gary Lineker's Book of Ghost Stories.

The abuse is a joke, like. But what more can you expect from the mong element of fans who booed Laurent Robert at the end of a 12-goal/multiple assist season? Issues come down the fact that, although him playing off a striker essentially contributes to Rafa's system, it doesn't really allow him the space on the field to exhibit his talents. He's usually got a man on him for one and there's little happening up ahead of him. He's basically being used to get the best out of those around him, he knows it and it's one of the reasons he's snatching at chances the Diame at WHU and Hull would've tucked away. I like him a lot. He's a boss of a CM if used correctly but if there is one genuine criticism I can level at him it's the fact he looks absolutely done at 70 minutes, especially away from home.

Jesus, that suit.

I think he did that on purpose.

What the fuck?

Ritchie, Clark and Gayle would walk into any side in this division, like. Factor in Lascelles, Shelvey (and possibly Darlow too) and it's a very strong spine.

Why?

Clark's our best defender aerially, like.

Or a dozen policemen.

29's older than 27 iirc.

Lasting memories of him are Harewood and Harper going mad at him after (Doncaster?) went 1-0 up against us at SJP. That and an amusing interview with Coloccini/Jonas where they said they'd never heard him speak.

What's left to say about him? We've needed a player like this for so long. Rafa (indirectly) electing him to be our no.9 was a masterstroke.

Diame's just being played out of position. Not his fault.

misses a few games due to illness, cant think what might hint at him looking at his health like. Maybe the guilt's just got the better of him and he's taken his own retched life?

Perhaps he didn't score but got an assist instead I genuinely don't know which of you is more fucking weird.

Why does he need a kick up the arse though? His attitude's been spot on for ages.

CM is the answer.

I hope not.

So Arsenal - Palace is a local derby too? Give over.

How the hell is Crystal Palace v West Ham a local derby?

No one would offer us anything like what we paid for either.

Probably went something like this:

Let himself go since causing the death of his father, like.
