Ronaldo

Coloccini, as much as I love him often gets ghosted past far too easily for a guy with a nice amount of pace

anyone who thinks Taylor being in the team week in week out is a good thing needs shooting tbh

took his chance here to show how good a defender he was and was then sold to Stoke, dont blame him for being pissed off

Where's the 'rather have him than Avram Grant' lot tonight?

wow, comfortably our best side

The selling of Faye ranks as one of the most ridiculous nufc transfer dealings in the the last 15 years tbh. Get the feeling Keegan told him he was behind Taylor in the pecking order and it didn't sit right, who knows. neesy you're talking rubbish again tbh. The top 10 clubs all have very established CB pairings tbh. Right down to Spurs. Faye is a good defender but he's 31. Were the top clubs in for Pedro in 93? it's a daft and lazy argument

He's been back to his brilliant best this season but he's nowhere near Buffon tbh.

oh i see

I hear that from my lass all the time. "lass" ?

I dont believe Owen is more likely than Oba to 'sneak' a goal tbh, certainly not anymore.

I agree Anelka is a great player tbh funny that half the forum didn't want him here 3 years back

If we get beat twice by Hull in the same season we have no business being in the forth round of the FA cup anyway

Anelkas proven time and time again across different countries (except Spain) that hes amazing. They're pretty much even I reckon, not scoring in one match doesnt mean theyre missing him. Especially when he's scored in almost all the others. Anelka is not half the footballer Drogba is mate. Drogba is the absolute key to the way Chelsea play. Btw are you talking about Anelka's awesome record in Turkey and France? The same leagues that have Boumsong and Colin Kazim Richards in their all time hall of fame

Anelka's been scoring goals for fun but he's precisely half the footballer that Drogba is, struggling big time without him

2006-07 was awful man, worst season i've experienced in 15 years going to the game, dont want to be reminded of that pile of shite tbh.

Pretty sure it was "to the top of the Premiership table". Could be wrong though. Great piece of commentary anyhow. yeah you're wrong, the dickead actually said 'could' even though we needed a win to go top and it was 3- 1 in the 96th minute

havent seen any of the game, was away all weekend but the fact that we've managed 2 away clean sheets in a row speaks volumes tbh. credit to Kinnear for putting Taylor on the bench where he belongs, Keegan wouldn't, at Faye's expense. Bassong really looks like a quality defender and a great partner for the flawed genius Coloccini, especially for his age.

seems big Mike doesn't want to sell

for all Kinnear's fake machismo he's a fucking arse licker of the highest order

I am shocked no one went for him. O'Neill would have been far better off spending that £12 million on him rather than Milner. Larsson is at least 3 times the player. You really have to wonder wht some of these managers are looking at sometimes. Milner doesn't do a single thing better than Larsson. Not one thing. Crazy. There's no way he's 3 times the player like. You are speaking to the guy who was claiming Routledge (currently being loaned out by Milners club to championship side Cardiff) was better than Milner you accused me of saying as much a few months back, hope you're facts are right this time

stupid comment tbh not one of those who buys the idea that Given's a world class goalkeeper but his loyalty cannot be faulted for a second

no contract renewal. In an ideal world we could let him go and give Viudka another season or two if he'd accept a considerable pay cut

i'd like he's still in the shape I saw him in back in August

Cacapa and Enrique happened there. Not outclassed. didn't say we were but we were absolutely shit going forward, got no shots on target till Shola's goal and only one after it

Viduka back, him and Martins leading the line with Owen just behind = out of trouble
