Ronaldo

God shut the fuck up about Dummett, man. We've had full-backs who can't go 2 games without massively fucking up and costing us goals. He doesn't do that. Leave him be. Weak link, ffs. He's a defender who defends well.

Well this pretty much defines you as a poster you big wet gaping fanny.

He doesn't struggle against pace at all, like.

Yeah it's Jim who died from a heart attack on his kitchen table.

Awful even by his standards tonight.

McClaren's a fucking mong, like. The perfect example of how much you can blag with no talent if you tickle enough backs without scratching them.

I'd like to see him partner Shelvey in CM at home. Playing him so high up the pitch is asking him questions he really doesn't have the answers to, though.

His second goal was fantastic. He's got loads of quality, like.

We also looked much better with him on the field.

Never a no.10 in about a billion years.

Same old. Good without the ball, poor with it.

Your boycott over Ronnie? It's the first game I've been to in a year and the second since Pardew's first 0-3 against Sunlun. The club's vaguely on the right track now so I'll go to the odd one when I can unless that changes.

Mitrovic grabbed him and picked him up. Seriously, though, Rafa's a lucky boy tonight. Easily the best football I've seen us play in a long time until 1-0, at which point he waved us back 15 yards and it completely facilitated Norwich's route back into the game. We looked so much better with 2 strikers on the pitch I can't tell you.

Well what's your point? I wasn't being critical of him so much as the 'hot streak' assertion that was admittedly misinterprested. He's contributed nothing yet for which there are several mitigating circumstances. Live with it.

Is there actually anything they don't try to relate back to us? Fucking losers.

Honestly if I had that lot for company I'd probably order and tuck into a curry, too.

Nowt wrong with a curry, man.

It's a little misleading but we're 9th now. If we concede the first goal tomorrow it's gonna be toxic.

You're talking about a guy who's won nothing in his career, been booed at pretty much all of his recent clubs and there's a line of cunts on SSN and the rest falling over themselves to call him a great, successful manager.

I read it as a hot streak overall, not specifically against Norwich. I like Mitrovic a lot but he's contributed virtually nothing this season, obviously.

It's like when Beardsley said we'd been a great run under Pardew when we'd drawn twice and lost three times in the last five.

He wasnt on decent cash with us was he? He was the lowest paid manager in the league with a salary apparently heavily incentivised on operating profit - ie player sales.

I hate to say it but so do we, unless you mean purely in a Championship context.

I had it on at 7.30ish, one of them (Paul Walsh) said he'd had a 'brilliantly successful managerial career'.

Hmm. Pulis or Pardew, that. Pardew's on decent money at Palace though, no? Works for when he was here.
