Ronaldo

fuck sake, we're gonna get raped

The West Yorkshire version sounds ike 'Tavern, eh?'

never offside

that's why I didn't back either

read dave's notice ffs, no online coverage He's in Birmingham but he has a really, really long aerial.

Whoever said Portsmouth to be avoided

Don't see how age is a factor, if he's doing that well in the reserves he deserves a start for the first team

That Liverpool team will surely rape Leeds

Yeah at 17 years and 35ish days he has waited far too long He's been scoring for fun in the reserves; Ranger, Kadar and Lua Lua have all got managed a start.

I think we'll all be feeling pretty underwhelmed in 2 hours time, glad I didn't include us in any of my many accumulators tonight Glad that Vuckic is finally getting a start

Eddie Edgar?

My uncle played for the first team once in 1972 before moving to MLS

generous Liverpool Arsenal Stoke Mackems Villa Chelsea Man U Man City £12 returns £310

some of the odds for tonight and tomorrow's games are ridiculous

Breaking up Taylor and Coloccini would make no sense whatsoever, Hughton isn't quite brainless

i've personally had enough of saying it, but people still want him there. It's absolutely bloody ridiculous man.

good news, he's strong, quick and capable of putting the ball in the back of the net

He did ok, pissed me off the commentators went ballistic for saves that any premiership keeper should be expected to make

Martins used it, just not frequently to clever effect. Lovenkrands on the other hand is quick of the mark but not a strong runner. In a nutshell, he's slow with the ball .

I remember a daft Martins quote about not joining Portsmouth being on Wikipedia and it appearing in the times later that week

I said at the start of the season he was a 1 in 4 man and I maintain that tbh

Who he didn't accommodate. I think you've missed the point

Nolan would be about as much use to a 4-4-2 as Nicky Butt

You'd think the 4-5-1 would protect the defence but it doesn't, it just means we tend to lose the ball an awful lot in the final third and end up with more defending to do

So he should for what we are paying him. Genuine question Ronaldo, what is it with Colocinni that makes you rate him so highly? I agree yesterday thought he was the better of the two central defenders, just you defend him to the hilt, even last year when he was absolute rubbish for a lot of the time. I don't particularly rate him as highly as you might think, but I think he's a lot better than the general opinion. I just see him as a good defender who'll do an excellent job in this league and hopefully learn from last season.
