Ronaldo

Martins, Jonas and Guthrie what a day for the dream team!

He was running the club when we bid for Woodgate, Modric and Coloccini. but we didn't get any of them mackems.gif We bid for Woodgate & Huth under Roeder & Shepherd and didn't get them, ending up instead with Onyewu on loan 4 months later, and for Modric, see Rooney. and Zat Knight

this, plus Sheff United at home 0-1.

You're glad Spurs are pulling away from us? Spurs aren't gonna be anywhere near the drop zone come the end of the season tbh, they'll have absolutely no effect on us. Except of course for the compulsory 6 points they provide us with every season

sacked tbh. Said when he was appointed he wouldn't last this season

I think 2006/7 was the worst. If we'd lost that game at Sheff Utd, I really think we'd have went down. Actually, if we'd lost at West Ham & Sheff Utd that season, which let's face it wouldn't have been totally unbelievable, the table would have ended... 13....West Ham..........44 pts 14....Man City.............42 pts 15....Sheff Utd............41 pts 16....Fulham................39 pts 17....Wigan..................38pts ------------------------------------ 18....NEWCASTLE.........37pts 19....Charlton...............34pts 20....Watford................28pts Now personally, I find that a lot scarier, to think 2 simple reversals would have seen us relegated, than now where there's still loads of football to be played. and people like to point to 06-06 as a season of good memories. Absolutely unbelievable, we comfortably deserved relegation that season

for once I was glad Spors got a result today. Man U slipping behind

Racists it isn't the greeks, it's the chinese he's after

Bellamy - Bernard is a stupid comparison tbh, wind the clock back 18 months and many were calling Bellars world class, with a strong element of justification

daft man. you're talking almost 6 years back, and a player who only had 2 good seasons in his entire career

Bellamy is 5'9 according to wiki

Upson is a very good defender but his horrific lack of pace combined with Coloccini's tendancies to back off would probably be a recipe for disaster tbh

isn't anything like the player he was? You mean like 18 months ago when he almost single handedly beat Barcelona at the Nou Camp and helped put Liverpoool in the champions league final

f***ing hell, I agree with Ronaldo.

Shola and Butt being in the squad next year sickens me tbh. Kinnear really is the absolute fucking worst

stupid calling Bramble, Bernard and Lua Lua dross tbh. All more than had their moments under SBR

I think you mean you'd take the Bellamy of old back. The current Bellamy isn't up to much, I'm not suggesting our strikeforce aside from Oba and Owen are either. still think he's quality. Bags of skill and tenacity, not lost a great deal of pace either

at Blackburn he scored something like 18 goals in his only season there. Averaged better than a goal a game at Celtic and despite being played in a system clearly not suited to his game, gave a good account of himself at Liverpool. He's struggled with injury at West Ham but generally done well and let's not forget how well he was doing in his last half-season with us. Take him back in a second tbh, love him as a footballer

Viduka every time, with Owen it's 50-50

Viduka hasn't worked hard for at least 5 years now. Quite frankly he's a parasite. I was embarrassed we signed him tbh. You have to wonder what the hell we were doing signign Boro's scraps. Humiliating. Boro's scraps? they all think he's fantastic and would take him back in a second in Boro tbh He's a very good player on the ball tbh and the best finisher at the club by some distance. He's lost a lot of weight and should he have a good 6 months in the team i'd offer him a new, reduced contract agree with that except the finishing part, thats owen. Owen finishing isn't nearly as good as Viduka's man. owens goal record (even just for us) suggests he's loads better. viduka is a very good finisher but owen is just simply better. Owen's a better goalscorer, doesn't make him a better finisher. Viduka's finishing is immaculate imo, Owen's is decent

Owen looked a very good all round player when we signed him tbh, rememeber loads on here commenting on it

2003-04 = 56 points 2005-06 (Souness and Roeder) = 58 points enough said tbh. Very lucky to finish 5th. Without Robert's 12 goals and god knows how many assists we would have finished mid-table at very best

harsh on Viduka tbh, he's obviously worked hard to get back into shape
