Ronaldo

Way out of his depth is harsh, take away 5 or 6 games and he did well, especially with Bassong.

Using Just-eat.co.uk last week an email after the sale showed that i'd paid £150,000 for a chinese.

Sure, Celtics and Rangers inflated the no. of Scots in the Champions League. But it is highly ironic that England have so few players in the CL, not even enough to form a squad to go to the world cup. I don't blame the Premiership for hiring foreign players. I am for free trade, free movement, and general non discrimination of nationality of players on national league levels. However, why, oh why, are so few British players playing outside the Britain ? Maybe they are just not good enough ? I still maintain that the top English players (Rooney, Owen, Lampard, Gerard, Hargreaves, Terry, Ferdinand, Coles) are a match to the top foreign players. But the depth is simply not there. What nonsense.

Some players do like to just hoof the ball up (with or without him) but he provides an outlet for us not to do that too often. Without him, that is all we do. So yes there was a deterioration in the game of other players as otherwise they just hoof the ball up. Yes.

I've also read that rumour somewhere.

Similar to Beckford, would do well in the championship but struggle after promotion.

Looking at the opening sentence you could easily be our manager.

Have £3.45 on Man U, Madrid, Milan, Bayern and Chelsea. Returns a little over £30.

Of course it wont be an easy game, we're a rubbish team in a rubbish league.

We best hope Carroll and Nolan are on form.

Boro beat them 3-0, they can't be that solid.

Rangers and Celtic have both looked massively out of their depth in europe.

We do that with him.

Did you see a deterioration in the play of Smith, Nolan or R Taylor without him.

Simpson was very good. My Blackburn supporting mate called him their 'best player at the back end of last season' and I thought he was taking the piss. He looks a very good prospect for RB.

In the mood for an argument are we? By all means, but don't waste my time with a half-hearted attempt.

Yes indeed. We won those games, 4 out of 5. Now is it a stat?

He should sign for us. Coloccini and Jonas are still in the squad.

You probably climbed over the fencing. My uncle and his pal went over with one ticket between them and both managed to get in.

Well you're an asshole then. Get the dvd, quiz next week.

No stats there. I like him and want him in the team but to suggest his absence would negatively impact Nolan, Smith and Taylor is completely without basis. And I've provided 4 games during his short recovery period which indicate the opposite.

Bilbao was soul destroying. I remember Beresford absolutely berating Pav for their 2nd goal at the Gallowgate.

Shame about the next game.
