Ronaldo

Am I the only one who'd put Geremi in the midfield ahead of Butt? R Taylor Guthrie Barton Geremi Nolan Lovenkrands Anyone defending Nicky Butt's selection needs a f***ing slap, he makes the team worse just by being on the pitch

Lovenkrands should be up front and nowhere else

best record in English football tbh

Harper Simpson Taylor Coloccini Enrique R Taylor Guthrie Barton Geremi Nolan Lovenkrands

indeed. All the same he played very well

you called me a cunt that night if memory serves, such an angry young fellow

Sorry... did I say we were staying up or something? Please post the link where I have said, or implied, that everything was going to be OK. I got myself "exercised", did I? Is that why you started throwing needless insults? It's obvious that you're one of those saddos on here (and on the internet) that care greatly about their "messageboard reputation". Stop being so insecure and touchy. What's with you and Dave, anyway? Eh? So you won't be happy if we get out of this league by winning ugly? You're quoting Ronaldo and me but speaking to one person. Thick as mince, this all started because you assumed i didnt enjoy the win because i posted 'lucky win'. Which it was. It is therefore perfectly justifiable to call you stupid. As for being a saddo, you're the one getting your knickers in a twist because i thought we were lucky to win. Which we were. No, Einstein Jnr, I'm quoting you and ronaldo and speaking to two persons. Simple maths, c***. Ronaldo wasnt speaking to you, so why ask him to quote you when he was speaking to me? Been called a t*** and a c*** by you now and yet i'm right about your stupidity. to be fair, regarding the Boro game I was speaking to him.

Damien fucking Duff, you fucking cunt

Solid defender tbh, good acquisition

Harper 6 Simpson 6.5 Taylor 7 Coloccini 8 Enrique 6.5 R Taylor 6.5 Smith 7 Guthrie 6 Barton 6 Nolan 6 Ranger 6

this is what we've all got to look forward to for the next 3 years

Eh? He held the ball up perfectly almost everytime and the midfield were nowhere to be seen, if the likes of Nolan, Guthrie and Barton bothered he might look better. Made loads of important defensive headers as well.

couldn't care less Good for you. Try to enjoy it a bit. By me posting 'lucky win' you deduce i haven't enjoyed it? Sorry but you're clearly an idiot if you think that. I tend to use the forum to express opinions on the football. We were outplayed for most of the second half and the Taylor handball / Smith sending off were pivotal moments that we should have been punished for. So i thought we were lucky. No offence, but it just sounded like you're a right miserable t***. that's basically what you said to me when I declared my pessemism after the Boro game in April........

Pity we are playing on Tues night then eh? er no, it's wednesday

To be honest, Ranger did well in the second half against Leicester but isn't ready at all. We were basically playing 4-6-0 at times, and as a result, failed to threaten whatsoever

1 more than the Cardiff keeper

i like that

He didn't do too badly but the long balls to Ranger pissed me off no end.

Smith ran his bollocks off, there's no hint whatsoever of reverting to previous form. The problem with Smith has been there for all to see all season, he could have easily been sent off against Sheff Wed and Reading and was finally punished today. Needs to cut out the daft fouls though, constantly in the last third.

What do we introduce when we keep giving the ball away when we need someone to pass it around and take off the pressure? Ah yes, a kid who's never played a league game before Well you never know he may just do a bit better than Barton at the moment. This Vuckic stuff is getting unbelievable. The kid might be a good prospect, but it's far too early for him and when we have seen him (Albeit for a couple of minutes) against Leicester he didn't look too great. you're right, that was one of the worst performances i've ever seen, dock his pay, send the c*** home

We need to start keeping the ball. Playing the long pass to Ranger is resulting in loss of possession all the time. Need to start playing through the midfield and getting Barton, Guthrie and Nolan involved. On the counter attack we really should murder this lot. Made up for Coloccini like, well done son

said a source enough said.

Best striker in the world for me, as i've said for the last 3 years. I wish he was younger as I absolutely love watching him play

Seems decent odds, where from? skybet also

He's about as far from a 'Mourinho' player as you can get tbh, which hasn't helped his cause
