Ronaldo

Beye was benched yesterday

That'll end up setting the Kop alight tbh And that's before you factor in the people they've nicked the candles off. Then they'll boycott candles What will they light their houses with then? http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/117/odeh.jpg

Aquiliani surely "don't take that as an invitation to burgle my actual house"

I sincerely hope we dont have to see Ranger and Carroll up front for a long while

Carroll is a fairly handy player but 'good technique'

out of interest, for which years was Shearer at his absolute best for us?

NEITHER AM I!

I hope Carroll is back, never though i'd say that

this, completely. I'd rather us defend a lead than take risks anyday but yesterday we just invited pressure for 70 minutes

not only that, what on earth is Anelka doing in that list

Whats the point of arguing it? Hughton will pick Butt regardless of how much more you know about football than him, choosing different on here isnt going to change that so why slate people for being realistic? I wasn't slating anyone for being realistic. I was slating those who seem happy that Butt will come into the team.

How the hell is Butt a holding midfielder? He has no engine and can no longer tackle.

Won us the 3 points yesterday. Does that mean you don't think he almost cost us the 3 points yesterday. The bloke scores a goal & suddenly everyone seems to think he's a good defender. Fair enough, I do think he's a good defender and always have. Did you not think he defended well yesterday btw?

Loven generally does, but then he pops up with a goal

he didn't struggle though, he had a very solid game

so did the two defenders either side of him, but lets not be negative for the sake of it

just like he did last season, when he was one of the biggest reasons we were relegated

what an absolute load of tosh, and nobody said Shearer couldn't control a ball

THIS IS NOT A WORD what the fuck are you on about?

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
