Ronaldo

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

The only thing you could possibly say about Ronaldo to overrate him is that he's the best of all time, but nobody I know is saying that. He's by miles and miles the best in the world though and I cant believe anyone can argue that

we should have been at our highest against Fulham and Wigan, and look what happened there

And we outclassed Aston Villa... we could and probably should have been 2-0 down at HT. We defended very well from the front in the second half like

West Ham completely outclassed us, which is more worrying

Both of their goals came from the side he was defending as well.

got the goal in that 1-0 in 2003 iirc, lovely chest down from Gary Speed

the problem with Taylor is that the idiots who end up picking the team will always drop an easy target like Bassong in favour of the 'local hero' Shearer wont like, which is on the reasons i'd be happy with him getting the job next month

how does Butt get away with it man. He's an absolute fucking liability

Jonas>Charlie. I know but I was talking about talent and Charles has more than Jonas imo. Jonas looks a very good player but a manufactured one tbh, fantastic athleticism first and foremost.

with Viduka back i'd play him, Owen and Martins tbh. Jonas, Barton and Guthrie or N'zogbia in the midfield for 4-4-2 i'd play Jonas and Zoggy everytime

Blackburn are going down unless things change drastically in January. Their midfield is worse than ours, a collection of puny wasters tbh

He was class for Roeder when we finished 7th but then he got Duff for £5m and had to show conviction in his purchase He wasn't Allardyce's type of player, probably too enigmatic for him. In addition he didn't have confidence in Enrique at LB Keegan returned and Duff was given yet another reprieve from a man who had probably last watched him when he was doing the business for Chelsea Zog is probably the most talented winger/midfielder we've had since Robert, got him for next to nowt and yet some other c***ing club will reap the rewards. A massive indictment of all the above, sickening tbh

how can people say Taylor is better than Bassong? He's had 3 games at CB now and done absolutely nowt wrong. He's younger than Taylor and looks so much more disciplined and capable
