Ronaldo

Live in the Meadowell by any chance? People got tattoos 50 years ago, just like they do now

If you were calling him s*** after his first season then you need your head read Am I the only person who can remember long periods, usually as much as five or six matches at a time, where you'd forget he was on the pitch before he'd decide to put a shift in and then revert back to being anonymous? how many strikers have managed 17 goals in their first season in english football? pretty good return if you ask me, even if general play was erratic

my granda is 78 and his forearm tattoos looks pretty damn good tbh, they're 50 years old like

ridiculous figure to ask for IF true

if we HAVE to lose one out of Bassong, Beye, Taylor and Enrqiue i'd rather it was Tayls tbh. Not that i've haven't gained a lot of respect for the lad recently

christ, that's how you do business Less than 48 hours after their final game of the season is played they appoint their new manager. Wonder how long it would take us, 3 months perhaps?

Honestly man, he was brilliant up until his injury in December, 6 goals in 12 in our shitebag of a team

If you were calling him shit after his first season then you need your head read

Martins at least got the chances, the rest didn't. He was our only chance, and yes, he blew it. But had we ditched him after Arsenal we would have been relegated well before the last day

The alternatives were Owen, Carroll, Viduka and Shola Not one single combination from any of them would have got us out of the shite, all have horrible mobility. Which is the last thing we needed more of.

Even though he was our best player in that game and got our only goal later on? don't be daft man Played through the pain barrier for us, and looked our only striker likely to score under Shearer, despite performing poorly.

attack, midfield and defence were all equally s****. that's absolute rubbish. Midfield was by far the weakest aspect of the team, didn't do its job in any way, shape or form

if we keep Taylor, Enrique, Bassong and Beye (we'll keep at least 3 of those imo) then that's half the battle won. Guthrie could absolutely shine in the championship, same goes for Carroll, Xisco and possibly Jonas. We'll need to buy 4 attacking players but with the funds from the sale of Oba, Colo etc but this shouldn't prove too much of a problem. Straight back up

people forget that before his injury he had a 1 in 2 goal record this season

if they sell RVN they deserve every bit of failure that comes their way

Especially when partnered with Aguero. They are absolutely unstoppable by season 6

fucking hell man

They need to get their players fit and bonded as a team, they have some great individuals like VDV and Sneijder, but they don't play like a team. If they could get Drenthe to put his mental issues behind him and get him to step up they could build a good side. Something like; ---------------------San Iker Ramos-------Pepe------Garay------New LB ---------------------Lass---------------------- ----------------Gago----VDV----------------- Sneijder---------------------------------Robben ---------------------Higuain. Even still they could do with a new midfielder a right winger and a left back as I still don't trust Marcelo there and Heinze is done. surely you wouldn't leave Van Nistelrooj out?

At the very least, he's a fan and has some understanding of football, which is an improvement

Ashley's running of the club makes Freddy Shepherd look as astute as Gordon Gekko

let's hope one of them suffers the same fate

aye, this is the only part of it that makes me worry slightly

I really wouldn't worry about this as much as some seem to be doing. £100M man, someone will go for that very, very quickly.

Not that it's saying much but our defence was the stongest part of the team last season
