Ronaldo

I think I was saying this a year ago.... I agree with the sentiments of the interview, it's just ironic that the comments are being made by one of the men in the areas that needs an overhaul. If you were saying it a year ago, then you looked pretty stupid by the end of the season after Butt had been superb in the last 10-12 games. he's f***ing rubbish and has needed to be replaced for at least two seasons, open your eyes this, absolutely

Are you kidding? You bring up that time more than anyone else, and I haven't seen anyone claim he was our player of the season in 04-05. poll it, see what happens. Anyway, no more arguing from me, legend, great player, solid bloke. Held us back for 2 seasons, that's my opinion

Beye Coloccini Bassong Enrique is a good defence, and the only combination i'd trust to do well against any solid attack

His decline for me seemed to occur halfway through 03-04. In the 2nd half of that season he didn't register a single away goal. In 04-05 he managed 4 premiership away goals from open play, yet people still sing the same old song. People need to move on

I'm not shocked with his decline in slightest. I am shocked that some still maintain that he was a great player in those final 2 seasons

my bad, 04-05

I just wish people could tell it like it is/was. The fact that Shearer will be most peoples pick for player of the season in 04-04 says it all

it never ends. Funny how Bramble's playing very well for a team pushing for europe and Boumsong is doing OK for Lyon yet it's still their fault that Taylor is in his rightful place as a fringe player in a team in 16th place

the revisionist history when it comes to Shearer is absolutely embarrasing

On a related note, got a pal who works as a compiler for William Hill. Says Paul Merson is one the phone every single day, even sent them a signed picture asking for better odds. He's apparently lost £1.3M in the last 5 years

Ronaldo, you're a cheeky little betting supremo - didnt you win 200+ the other day? Tell me your secret! HA, I wish mate, could have won £110,000 on saturday had 3 more games out of 12 gone my way! Seriously, instead of buying a pint for £3 before the game, play the Willie Hill selections list. I only put £2 down and had the chance of the return above, much better chance than winning the lottery. The way I look at it is whatever you win isn't really your money, so I tend to keep whatever I placed and use the rest for future bets. If you're unsure about a couple of games in your accumulator, group em together in trebles, makes more sense. Net profit of £600 so far this year, which is pretty good I reckon, especially considering how woefully unpredictable the premiership has been this season, half the league being on the same level etc.

What evidence has he shown that he will ? He's already offered Kinnear a 3 year contract, his MD has already stipulated many times that JK is their man. If JK saves us from relegation, why would Ashley suddenly change his stance. Next year will bring more of the same, with a few less "stars", the future is not that bright whether we avoid disaster or not this season. all true

£5 on Cardiff, Aberdeen, W Bremen, Ayr and Ajax wins me £145

Contradicted yourself there, Smith's lax as f***. Don't be kidded by the weekly moronic lunge. Without wishing to sound harsh, that's a load of rubbish. it's clearly not though, Smith's a c***, always has been. He's all ego and very little concentrated, positive effort Sounds like you who you been talking to? your lass fair play

if Butt is still in our team next season then we absolutely deserve to be relegated

Fabregas has always been a cunt. But Shearer was absolutely rubbish in that game iirc

In two years time he'll still be here and he'll be absolutely despised to the degree that Shola is now

they all do it though. How is Xisco getting pissed with a couple of immigrant puffs worse than Shay drinking too much wine in Sabatini's

Shearer on a ferry, makes a change from Xisco and his pink shirts

going off his chance conversion percentages in the last 2 seasons, that's absolute nonsense

holding midfield requires intelligence, some passing abiltity and an engine but if it keeps him away from central defence, aye, why not

Near enough. He’s always trying to force the issue and it gets him into trouble. He’s never going to be the kind of player who hides when the going gets tough, but he needs to find a balance between his natural game and a more measured approach. He’s a decent player who gives a s***. Not many of those around. I completely disagree with that. indeed. There are plenty of tenacious, hearty players with his ability. Start watching the championship

wish he'd shut up, he's becoming just like Shola in the token, meaningless interview stakes
