Ronaldo

Even if he were a number anything, you can't miss chances like that. Regardless of more good games or bad. We're talking about this game why would other games matter? Because of your moronic post about him.

He fades badly after 70 minutes but he's had more good games than bad. I don't think he's a number 10 and I said it before he signed.

Cheick Tiote on the field and we're considering starting Daryl Murphy next game. Ugh.

Terrible post, even by your standards.

What an absolutely pitiful half of football.

Both our full backs were brilliant that half. I'm really encouraged by that.

Fuck you on about? He won the game for them 0-0.

Scored 10 in 40 appearances after promotion. A lot of appearances as a sub or left winger under Pardew. Not in the Premier League he didn't get 10. I don't really remember him playing LW under Pardew at all, either. Jonas was there. He was up front or benched. Waste of time even discussing it, to be honest. Lovenkrands is a good lad but a perfect example of a player who did nothing before us, or after us. I hope the days of us signing rubbish like that are gone.

Harewood got around 5 in 10, if memory serves.

The pitch clearly to blame for that.

Pretty sure he didn't get 1 in 4, like. He was godawful in the PL, anyway and never got near to it again after we binned him.

No you're not. Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea are still better. Arsenal aren't, Chelsea might be.

Lovenkrands was completely obsolete after we got promoted.

We're in the Championship. He's a million miles away from being a PL quality player.

I think anyone who was at Villa Park in '09 will retain a little bit of dislike, myself included. They're irrelevant, but if I had to choose a club in the Championship to crash and burn beyond anything we've any seen.....

Which list would this be?

Nah, him and Rafa would be a match made in hell, unfortunately. Not gonna happen.

I can barely recall a Tiote that didn't spend his time bumbling about incompetently in the centre of the pitch, while being fatter than Troy Deeney, who is now fat. He does not interest me. Yeah, this. It's staggering that some, including relatively well-informed posters on here, entertain the idea of playing him. He's the Pardew of players: A talentless arsehole who Carr/Llambias saved from obscurity and only ever gets highlighted for the wrong reasons. Someone who - even at the peak of his 'ability' - you'd only want on the field if you were utterly shit-scared of the opposition and happy to discard the notion of a cohesive attacking midfield unit. That can never be the right approach. Ever.

And everything else he comes out. Imagine trying to use kicking/punching blokes when they're on the floor as some sort of badge of honour and individuality. He's just a massive attention seeker whose limited ability on the pitch means he has to act like a cunt to get it.

It's Barton, who cares. He's a salesman. The mongs love him.

It's the Rafa effect, man. We're going to approach these competitions with a view to winning them, and karma will meet us halfway on that.

What in the fuck?

Alright, take it easy. We've not kicked off yet.

We've got 'notions'. Not sure exactly what of.
