Ronaldo

A ref from Cleveland?

That midfield ffs.

And he was all around poor. Bar the beaut of that Klinsmann penalty save. Very good kicker of the ball though.

Our keepers have all had pretty poor distribution since Mike Hooper. So yeah, over 20 years.

Rugby Tackling. It was bad defending from Lascelles. Even McClaren figured that one out.

I think most of us knew that. It really isn't much of a defence.

Interpolic was a much better nemesis. You are your nemesis, dude. You need to realise this, and soon.

Probably because Barton left without really wanting to. Plus the fact he was willing to speak out about the regime. Nolan wasn't. Obviously Nolan did infinitely more for us on the pitch.

Still with the wumming, man, Ian. What do your parents think of this? You're just wasting people's time. Get yourself a girlfriend.

Every pub should have a dartboard, man. Come on.

People advocating starting Gouffran now, man. This place is a fucking abomination at times.

A winger isn't really the right position for it imo, but I know your point. Ritchie and Gayle showing that when you spend good money on (proven) players, you get good players, fwiw. Need to crack on and sign a couple more.

If you're referring to me saying we looked much better defensively with Dummett (as opposed to without) at the back end of last season, I'd say that's a bit different to just picking games and saying 'well we won with him, he must be OK'. It's not a relevant comparison, anyway, as I've said long term Dummett isn't the answer at LB.

Livy was a vindictive cunt, she knew what she was doing. Most despicable character in the show, but fucking hilarious.

And that interview on the radio before being confirmed DoF. The guy's like Livia Soprano: utterly hilarious albeit completely unintentionally.

I'd rather Aarons got games ahead of him and we sign a couple of attacking players who can play out wide this window. Goes without saying, really.

He's harmless and entertaining now.

Winning games with shit players in the team doesn't mean they're not shit players. I'd rather have a promising young winger in there getting pitch time and valuable experience, not some waste of a shirt like Alsoran occupying a squad place.

We dicked Ipswich with Zurab Khizanishvili in the side too.

But probably not when we're trying to win the league while playing two sitting midfielders. We need 2 wingers who can beat men and drive the team forward.

You said Mascherano's your idea of what a good CB should be. Of course you're gonna be averse to that type of defender. I think you need a balance, ergo someone like Mbemba needs a dominant partner. Hopefully than can be Lascelles but Hanley isn't as bad as you've made out.

Hanley's an average CB. Good enough for this league, not really good enough for long-term. Ian doesn't like him because he fits the bruiser-type he loves to hate for some odd reason.

It's more the fact you think a 'tidy' player who's not fast or slow is more worthy of a place than Aarons, dude.

Rafa's twice said or strongly implied he doesn't see him as first team player this summer. You'd think he's off.
