Ronaldo

He seems to be a member of the "the man with the shirt keeps the shirt" (barring a mare ofc) school of thought. well lets pray to fucking god that he isn't and Martins gets straight back in the side come sunday

wasn't talking about the Man United game though. Kinnear was appointed on the 25th september and it wasn't until the 29th of November that Bassong started a game at CB ahead of a fit Taylor. Not trying to criticise Kinnear, just saying that all this 'he picks on performance, not reputation' talk is somewhat undeserved at this point. BTW I dread to think how bad Xisco must be in training for him to pick a not even half fit Viduka ahead of him

Several of us concluded from what we saw in pre-season that Bassong looked very competent and deserved a game in the centre. I wanted both him and Cacapa to be ahead of Taylor in the pecking order tbh

Looking forward to Guthrie being dropped when Barton comes back so we can see the dream partnership of him and Butt once again. Very happy with team selection atm it has to be said. But who knows where we'd be in the table if N'zogbia and Bassong had come in a month earlier

took injuries before he dropped Duff and Taylor like

reading this thread one might assume that Owen's goal record is considerably better than Oba's, it most certainly isn't.

by that definition, Andy Cole is a more effective striker than Dennis Bergkamp tbh Andy Cole was a striker, Dennis Bergkamp was a forward.

still chairman

What might be worth remembering is that we've never seen Martins in this league with any real creative midfield force behind him.

average? and tell me which great team on the planet would have Michael Owen in their side right now He will get a better club than the bloke you have named yourself after just has. what's your point? Ronaldo's lucky to still be playing after what his knees have been through. The way you go in you make it out no decent side will take him, when he is on free he will get a good club. One of the 5 teams competing for a top 4 place this will take a punt on him. Outside the top 4 or 5, the league is basically bollocks though. I can see managers looking at Martins and thinking, yeah I could make him a great player.

Danny Murphy

fucking disgusting if Carroll gets picked ahead of him

very good post both have 6 premiership goals from open play this season, and Martins clearly has more assists

Would rather Xisco than Viduka tbh. Bramble has had Viduka in his pocket every single time they've played against each other

What makes you say that? seeing him in La Liga last season

this

fyp and laughing tbh

Zaki better than Martins? a know, fkin madness

Have to say like, as much as he's struggled with the tempo of this league so far, Xisco looks very much a natural born goalscorer.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy would be nice for a couple of seasons. Better goalscorer than Owen

anyone remember Lampard and Drogba's late goals at Goodison 2 years ago, jesus.
