Ronaldo

I was going to reply to this but saw I'd been beaten to it several times We all know Ranger isn't ready, yet

one goal on wedneday away from making it an £800 profit for September I'll post some in a while, off to Willie Hill/Skybet soon

when will this stupid nonsense cease? I could say the same about many of your posts, but I tend not to slag off other people's opinion. It's rude and immature. I am neither. He's very protective of Coloccini. Just ignore it. I'm in favour of the best part of the team not being broken up, aye

this is what I mean man. Crofty has probably googled a picture of him and come up with the opinion that he has no pace You're not condescending in the slightest are you? The bloke has been pish for years. He's 30 years old and has only scraped over 100 goals in his career (including 5 in the past two years) I know that by googling a picture of him, and f*** all to do with being 24 and following football since I was a nipper. You think he's good because you once managed him on Championship Manager and he scored 87 goals for Forest Green in the Champions League don't you... I've never played on championship manager tbh Xisco being written off at half-time against Hull was funny but this is ridiculous man. You really dont need a computer to see that Harewood has pace, I don't know where on earth you've gotten the 'no pace' thing from. In this league he's pretty damn proven. That along with his mobility means I'm happy for him to be here. The fact you're bringing the Given incident into it is pathetic mate. Fact is, Carroll is currently our bst striker and with Lovenkrands likely to be put on the wing, this signing was a neccesity.

with Shola it would have been an accurate statement though

this is what I mean man. Crofty has probably googled a picture of him and come up with the opinion that he has no pace

where did this 'no pace' thing come from? He's always looked quick enough to me. He certainly quicker than Carroll and Shola so it's a non-issue anyway. He signed for Villa 2 years ago which is when he went downhill, given that he wasn't good enough for the first team. Shouldn't be a problem, we're in the championship. I don't mind opposing opinions when they're not completely predicated on ignorance and petty grudges.

better than 1 in 3, should shut a few people up

when will this stupid nonsense cease?

Van der Meyde please (not a loanee I know)

the word 'soccer' should be banned, only the Australians relate to it now anyway. Who gives a f*** if them lot are watching or not?

and you had a go at me for being a little too indulgent with the alcohol

What the hell is your problem with him? you surely realise our current 4-4-2 includes Nile Ranger who clearly isn't ready for this level

A nice little tradition? It's a load of mythical bullshit. We've had some absolute dross wear it over the years, just since we've had Andy Cole we've been spoilt in that respect. Yes tradition, you are aware tradition can start at any time in history? The number is always heavily associated with Newcastle anyway and its not surprising considering those who have wore it. Best player I've seen in black and white wore number 8. damn right

yep, it was the Durkin 'unawarded penalty' game

The Man U game was just after christmas

He was brilliant but nowhere near the finished article, even at 26

Drogba wasn't the best striker in europe back then man, don't be so daft (he is now imo). It was a good performance but again 'back pocket' is an exagerration based on the fact that the Ivorian didn't score.

fair play mate

Drogba destroyed us in the second leg (minus Woodgate) and hit the post twice in the first Drogba was still developing into a great player then tbh, Woodgate did well that night but making 'a complete joke' of Drogba is a daft statement. Everyone at SJP saw what a dangerous player he was that night. In fact, before the game at the Veledrome people were wishfully talking about us buying him in the summer, hardly corresponds with your assertion.

a complete joke, when? What, you mean he did his job and stopped him scoring? Taylor and Bramble to name two.....

fucking hell man, Woodgate is a drunken cunt of a human being who had 1 1/2 good seasons with us. You'd think he was Paulo fucking Maldini with 15 years in black and white. Taylor shouldn't be trying to emulate anyone, make your own career without that stupid bastard as a template.

Didn't Taylor pick '27' because of Woodgate? I've warmed to the lad in the last 6 months but that's absolutely f***ing embarrassing
