Ronaldo

Not going to replace VP though, is he?

Aye. It's a fucking pain in the arse.

I'm just enjoying the fact that we're winning games in the first place.

I can see Ledley King on the touchline, jeans handing down past his knees.

With Owen it's all about certain games lasting in the memory. Argentina, Germany, Argentine again, Arsenal in the cup final. There's no substance to it beyond that really.

That's part of it. But if he was an ex-Man U striker who managed 4 goals last season they wouldn't have been so quick to praise.

Not really. Most of the media would have named him one of our best players last season, stupid c***s.

Defensive midfielders get the praise when the creativity fails, always happens. Hargreaves in 2006 a case in point. But Butt was good in that tournament.

I went to Newcastle Airport after that game, had a good chat with that short bloke who used to present Tyne Tees football.

Dabizas wasn't at the heart of our defence when we finished 3rd tbh. It was Bramble, Obi and Woodgate in a revolving pattern.

Can't think of many other products of our youth team that have won 2 Premier League titles and played in the Champions league......and we keep Andy O'Brian & Nikos Dabizas?! Dabizas captained Greece, who won the european championships - if we're playing that game. O'brien played in the World Cup and is twice the defender Gary Caldwell is, who'd get murdered in the premier league.

December 4th.

G Caldwell? You've got to be kidding with that one.

Crouch is there as backup to Heskey in my view.

I have faith in Rooney and Heskey with Defoe and/or Agbonlahor coming on with 25 to go if we need a goal.

The reason it hasn't happened since 96 is obvious. We've never had a top goalscorer in the team since then.

Course he would.

Arsenal without their best striker for 6-8 weeks. Perhaps they'll come in for Ranger.

he is 29 Didn't you once say that Khizanishvili was better than Coloccini? Time to start engaging the brain mate. After watching Khizanishvili live he is equally as bad as Coloccini we need Matthew Kilgallon in january Time to start engaging the brain mate Right, because it was Matthew 'average at Leeds' Kilgallon who marked Andres Iniesta out of the game on saturday, you blithering buffoon. But yes, you're right. We defintely need a replacement given that we've conceeded 5 goals in the 10 games that Colo has played this season.

He's as bad as his brother, which says it all.

£20m for Carlton Cole.

Another one that clearly isn't a premiership player. He'd do for backup though.

82-92 BTW that's absolutely horrific Ollie.

Clutching at straws a bit there like. A 15 minute cameo nearly 2 years ago.

When did he play against Stoke?
