Ronaldo

This is a 1 goal in 18 striker who played against an makeshift, untried Boro defence and looked out of his depth all game until being substitued and outclassed by Peter Lovenkrands at Man U

Ban

Barton to his credit wouldn't have been on his way to an Elton John concert

doesn't really matter, does it?

If he goes to Man U I honestly didn't think I could hate that bastarding club more than I do now

good to see Martins has recovered from the op

he used his left the season before last against Birmingham (h) I think

Seems I now have ESPN on freeview where Setanta used to be

i'd rather give Garry Glitter a position coaching the youth team than keep Shola Ameobi

I hope Barca dick all over them

probably worth noting that he's a lot less likely to bully defenders in the championship

If only there was an Alan Partridge shrugged shoulders smiley from when he's having the meeting with the head of the BBC and is introduced to the man who runs Current Affairs. absolutely ingenius

Me and a few Leeds supporting pals going to the Leeds game, should be interesting

Lovenkrands is very, very quick off the mark but isn't really a strong runner tbh, very lightweight and struggles to run into space

I'd personally keep him but if we go into the season relying on the likes of him and Duff for creativity, we're basically fucked

if Shearer wants him he'll be back. But in all honesty, we need to look beyond 29 year old grafters

He'll be taking them back down

7 goals in 2 years Story of Viduka's career, a terrible, terrible waste. You could argue that Viduka has more natural ability than Didier Drogba, yet he never had the bollocks or the motivation that players like Drogba have to become a truly world-class footballer. Shame for us but moreso for him

The 4-1 defeat at SJP provides better evidence of Inter's cheating imho. Italians by their very nature are corner-cutting, cheating cowards and I cant believe any Inter fan can call another tream 'convicted cheaters' tbh. Marseilles have a magnificent stadium, fantastic support and a fantastic geographical location, can easily see why Lucho has chosen to go there

SSN, If only they could join Setanta in hell

I always had Dave down as Napoleon.

thats the line up id like to see Sorry to p*iss on your parade but Bassong is suspended. I thought his suspension was only 1 game? EDIT: Forgot it was his 2nd red of the season, meaning a 2 game suspension

Dawson vs Martins is like watching the Tom and Jerry show
