Ronaldo

if he was at full stretch, he would have saved it. it was deflected, didn't they mention that on the radio?

Keepers depend on confidence arguably more than any other player, which is why we seldom see goalkeeping changes being made unless it is absolutely mandatory. It was a mistake Keegan made with Srnicek and Hislop (didn't help that neither was really good enough) which may have cost us the title. Harper got better as time went on in the latter half of last season, and this will continue into next season, stability is everything.

Given wasn't world class but probably the tier below. Harper is very average, but perfectly good enough for the championship

you have a beef with Harper? Is there anyone at the club who isn't a cunt btw

what a load of absolute nonsense, he's was their best player by far last season

I'd love it if he went to Hull, they deserve each other Hull are down next season, i'd put my life on it, especially if they break the bank for Owen

Still a lot of idiots on here that wont admit he's a good defender, no matter how well he's played for Wigan.

I can think of one englishman who's much better in the holding role

Fair enough, I agree with the part about Shearer to an extent

the entire post consists of absolute speculation and ignorant generalisations

possibly taylor, but then people would say i was biased. Harper also. But in general, if 90% don't give a fuk and haven't put in the effort its not so wrong to tar the fuking lot imo. of course it is, say you were in a team of 22 and you plus 1 or 2 others put in maximum effort and the rest fucked it up royally. Say someone collectively accused the entire team of not exerting maximum effort, how would you react? I know how I fucking would. For the record I feel at least 3 gave their best this season, several others might have but they just weren't good enough

I think there are a couple of players who gave what could easily be considered maximum effort

Toon's Taylor likes the bad boys, massive inferiority complex - probably stemming from experiences during high school with bullies in bathrooms

Beckford 's**** in a nutshell' i'd bet a lot of money that Wshmag has never seen him play

It would look alright, if the stripes were light blue

Alonso can go missing in games but I agree he's a very good player. Victim of his own playing style and position, he'll never really get the plaudits. Probably doesn't help that he's behind Xavi, Fabregas, Iniesta and Senna for Spain

in terms of current football knowledge, ex-pros are the last place the BBC should look. Such an ignorant, pompous and self-satisfied lot

foreign cunt? Honestly, you're the forum's version of Joe Kinnear

93-95 strip

Beye's a good defender and an excellent player to have in the team. Going forward he's very poor though. He'll be our main man next season if Al's got a single brain cell in his head

Beye may not be as good as Johnson but calling him average is very daft. How many players have shown him up in his time here?

This probably should be locked in the near future

It is, but supposedly the games will be shown on a new standalone channel. cheers

Is ESPN available on Sky?

Good player but 18 fucking million
