Ronaldo

he learnt from the best

I'm amazed that nobody has snapped Van Nistelrooy up

Dunne's solid, had a bad season last time round but isn't a bad defender. Not good enough for a top 6 team though imo

I was referring to the Harper vs Krul arguement, this must be the third time you've changed your mind about who should be the no.1 this season

If our outfield wasn't so f***ing amazing i'd say quite the opposite. He's got faults that could see us drop quite a few points really; i'd certainly put the blame on him for that goal at West Brom earlier in the season. He's always been a really good shot-stopper but he's got all Given's other faults, just sorta multiplied. I don't love Harper at all, I think he has a fair few flaws, but I think he's still a lot more polished at his trade than Mr.Krul at this point in time. Understandably so. Would be 0 in 5 if it wasn't for his f*** up at West Brom. which looks somewhat favourable compared to Krul's 3 f*** ups against Huddersfield Is this strictly a Harper vs Krul argument? I was just speaking in general, i think LLLO was aswell. I'd have him over Krul but i'm still not totally comfortable with him as number 1. you seem to be changing your mind a lot in that respect mate In terms of GK, CM and CB there's absolutely nowt to worry about for me

I really dont understand how there's an argument to be had here, he's not Pagliuca but he's solid, rarely makes mistakes after a run of games and is still a good shotstopper. If there's a better keeper in this league i've yet to see him

Would be 0 in 5 if it wasn't for his f*** up at West Brom. which looks somewhat favourable compared to Krul's 3 fuck ups against Huddersfield

So Lovenkrands today and Viduka some time next week?

you don't take risks with goalkeeping man, it's rule number one

that's laughable Most recently, what were you doing when we played Sheff Wed and he kept us in the game? honestly, what nonsense. We need to get promoted, not give youngsters experience

Colo surely wont be going anywhere

no, I basically agree that he'll do very well. But to imply he's the difference between promotion and another year in the championship is a litte niave.

one in (krandlove) and Nicky Butt going to Hull

out of sheer curiosity, why?

doesn't sound like it. But good news overall, very good news. We're crying and screaming and banging head of the wall for a striker that can get in behind the defenders and he's still very quick over 10 yards with decent positional awareness. That should make all the difference with accomplished passers like Barton and Guthrie behind him. In the championship that sort of link up will produce goals.

It's ridiculous isn't it. Krul has 45 minutes during which he makes 3 good saves and 3 bad errors and suddenly he's "a lot better" than Harper. Ranger will be made out to be the next Drogba at some point today, whilst Carroll is aready the geordie Duncan Ferguson. Nile (just about) deserved motm for me but as with Carroll and Krul he'll be made out to be something he's not and then blown down like every house of cards eventually is. Credit where credit's due and no more, please.

He might aswell go to Stoke then

Average = utter w*** these days. Daft comment, of all fans, we should really know what utter w*** implies

he always does, it's f***ing disgusting according to Djmattis we should stop 'bothering him' about it though

hmmm

the commentary was absolutely embarrassing

Was Chopra at the game tonight?

The good thing about Smith is that he'll definetly keep Butt out

Our long ball system obviously didn't suit Geremi tonight, but he can do a good job, certainly
