Ronaldo

Alreet, Tony Gale. Nowt to do with that. Rafa's just far, far more comfortable setting a team up to soak up pressure and counter.

That is pretty profound, like.

Cabaye's prime here lasted less than 4 months, mind.

Repugnant.

Unfortunately they'll never get a chance to.

You constantly brought up Coloccini for like 4 years when everybody else disagreed with you, man. Sip your medicine like a man. Doesn't even make any sense. Only the odd mong disagreed, too. If that's the cap you wanna wear, coolio.

He's an utterly shit LW, mind. I'm happy he's getting goals but we'd be much better with threat on both sides so teams are prevented from just doubtling up on Ritchie and Yedlin.

God shut the fuck up about Dummett, man. We've had full-backs who can't go 2 games without massively fucking up and costing us goals. He doesn't do that. Leave him be. Weak link, ffs. He's a defender who defends well.

Well this pretty much defines you as a poster you big wet gaping fanny.

He doesn't struggle against pace at all, like.

Yeah it's Jim who died from a heart attack on his kitchen table.

Awful even by his standards tonight.

McClaren's a fucking mong, like. The perfect example of how much you can blag with no talent if you tickle enough backs without scratching them.

I'd like to see him partner Shelvey in CM at home. Playing him so high up the pitch is asking him questions he really doesn't have the answers to, though.

His second goal was fantastic. He's got loads of quality, like.

We also looked much better with him on the field.

Never a no.10 in about a billion years.

Same old. Good without the ball, poor with it.

Your boycott over Ronnie? It's the first game I've been to in a year and the second since Pardew's first 0-3 against Sunlun. The club's vaguely on the right track now so I'll go to the odd one when I can unless that changes.

Mitrovic grabbed him and picked him up. Seriously, though, Rafa's a lucky boy tonight. Easily the best football I've seen us play in a long time until 1-0, at which point he waved us back 15 yards and it completely facilitated Norwich's route back into the game. We looked so much better with 2 strikers on the pitch I can't tell you.

Well what's your point? I wasn't being critical of him so much as the 'hot streak' assertion that was admittedly misinterprested. He's contributed nothing yet for which there are several mitigating circumstances. Live with it.

Is there actually anything they don't try to relate back to us? Fucking losers.

Honestly if I had that lot for company I'd probably order and tuck into a curry, too.

Nowt wrong with a curry, man.

It's a little misleading but we're 9th now. If we concede the first goal tomorrow it's gonna be toxic.
