Ronaldo

the portuguese twat, i hope - for his own wellbeing

At best he's always been an average footballer who's made his mark with pace and later instinct, comparing himself to Ronaldo says it all about the delusional little cunt

christ on a bike "Torres and Ronaldo"

I wish he was fucking gone

£3m?

sorry, but that's absolute nonsense, £100m represents a very good opportunity for investment.

We still would have finished 4th without doubt had SBR not sold Solano. But the indications were there and when Liverpool offered decent money for Shearer in the summer of 04 we should have accepted (funnily enough it was Shepherd, not Robson who said no) ridiculous that a year later we extended his contract even further, I remember the city absolutely buzzing and me having about 15 arguments with 15 different people that day

I don't think SBR wanted Kluivert though SBR hints in his book that he wanted to play Bellamy and Emile Mpenza together

Shearer wasn't to blame that his legs were gone and he had the match sharpness of a specially modified beachball

Seems like everyone including Bassong is the double of Cacapa

isn't it Seamus?

There's a reason why it didn't work out, Greame Souness

Despite scoring 22 in the league the next season, with only Henry scoring more? aye, he should have left after we finished 5th imo. He started the season brilliantly but then went seriously downhill and didn't manage an away goal in the whole of 2004 with the exception of a penalty at Boro. Certainly after seeing his performances at the end of 03-04 and start of 04-05 a lot of us knew it was the end and we had to replace him

Honestly amazes me how much money teams like Milan and Madrid waste by always buying players only once they are established elsewhere. With the resources they have those kind of clubs should have the best scouting networks around and be able to pick up 300k gems of their own but instead are totally bloody inept. No wonder they needed to sell Kaka. indeed, it's absolutely ridiculous

and Freddy?

I don't know what will happen if this kid turns out to be s***.

on Monday and Tuesday Eastenders is on

in 2 weeks I think

Surely he wasn't to know that a struggling billionaire who had no knowledge of running football clubs or this area was going to fail?....oh wait... It amazes me that people are having a go at SJH for selling up, do you have such short memories? At the time of the takeover, Mike Ashley was one of Britain's wealthiest persons with an estimated net worth of 2bn, and there was no sign of the credit crunch whatsoever. Iirc, the vast majority of fans, including the ones on this board, supported the takeover and thought MA would turn the club around, why would've SJH thought otherwise? Most of us were fed up with FFS and welcomed the prospect of a new owner with resources to strenghten the declining club. As it turns out, we were wrong, but I fail to understand why should SJH take any kind of blame, when at the time everything indicated that it would be a good move for the club (and for him as well). I guess he and FFS would've been f***ing lynched had they refused to sell. As for selling the club to someone with no football knowledge, it's not like Roman Abramovic had any kind of knowledge of running a footbal club when he took over Chlsea, nor did SJH when he took over NUFC back then, yet both of them were successful. He's a hypocrite and a coward who should take some of the blame for the present situation but wont. Just like the sacking of SBR

my version would be censored nationwide

SJH is a fucking hypocrite for suggesting the players should put the interests of the club first when he did anything but 2 years ago

did you end up crying in agony on the shower floor?

Am I the only one looking forward to next season like no other?

The absolute pinnacle was Kinnear being offered a 3 year contract after he'd just became statistically the 2nd worst manager in our history
