Ronaldo

Still glad MON didnt put more weight in the UEFA? Yes. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, though, isn't it? He had a difficult decision and he made the right one. It didn't work out the way he hoped it would do, but I think he made the right call at the time. I thought we were very good today, but we need to f***ing shut up shop and defend a lead at times. you defended the right way imo, from the front. You defend deep and Man U will kill you man. They had to play through you today and tbf manged it, because of their absolute brilliance. The only way they were going to score two past you in the second half was by scoring two fantastic goals

As I said at the time, we didn't make our squad better in January and teams like Portsmouth and Stoke did we're paying for it big time. £8M net profit, in 6 years time we'll still be reading about that, just like we are now about the summer of 03 and Bowyer cunts

cant believe anyone can look at Butt and Nolan and think they contributed anything yesterday. They were both typically absysmal

Wouldn't it be Solskjaer he'd have to sit with to discuss that? I wouldn't want a member of the Newcastle staff discussing anything with him, unless he was asking him what he was up to later so he could arrange for Rob Lee and Aaron Hughes to go and greet him with a couple of sawn-offs. dont forget Bernard, who he elbowed in the face at St James' during the 6-2

on account of my bet I was pissed off with Ronaldo pretty much throughout the second half. Fact is he's absolute magic, he can play badly and still score 2 fantastic goals without over exerting-himself. Very little in it between Ronaldo and Messi tbh

and to you sir, hell of a win today

was so pissed off with Cardiff I stuck £70 on a Man U and Everton double was sweating like mad in the last 5 minutes there like, return of £185

Dowie with Rio

Arsenal are comfortably the worst for me

Thespence trying to starts arguments out of nowt again.

Nolan and Butt are a fucking disgrace man. The worst central midfield we've had in the premiership without major injuries

Jonas can't cross at all. Robert and Solano were expert crossers. very true, Robson wouldn't have had Jonas anywhere near Have you read SBR aritcle? He makes it clear that Duff & Steven Taylor would be the only players close to getting into his side. What's your point?

When Harper first got into the team in 98, his distribution looked absolutely fantastic tbh. Really accurate, powerful kicking

as would I, doesn't mean I want him anywhere near the team though

When has Carroll inflicted damage? He's out of his depth in premiership football, much like Shola

So you missed the Man U and Arsenal games then?

Jonas can't cross at all. Robert and Solano were expert crossers. very true, Robson wouldn't have had Jonas anywhere near

why thank you very much, net profit of £92.50 aint bad for a saturday £20 treble Everton Man U Cardiff wins me £105

We need to play Barton and Guthrie in the centre as soon as both are anywhere near fitness Butt and Nolan man, it's like begging for the championship

and completely escaping critcism from most

You need to f*** off. seconded, the most clueless and irritating poster on this board by an absolute fucking country mile

Why is it always a contest? This is the Martins thread and he was s*** today. So was Owen, happy? It seems like a contest because when the manager decides to make a sub, it's always Martins who comes off and many are wondering why it isn't someone who's out of form, putting in zero effort and shirks challenges like Owen? Martins wasn't good today but he's the best we've got, like it or not. absolutely spot on

looks shit with everyone but Bassong tbh

Judging by that i'm gonna say 8 once more. We create absolutely nothing man, the midfield lets us down game after game after game and nowt is done about it. I genuinely hope someone breaks Butt's leg in training because that's the only way Guthrie, ie our best midfielder by a mile will get a look in.

won £22.50 in the national thanks to State of Play placing win another £90 now if Liverpool win, come on!
