Ronaldo

to be honest, he isn't quite as good as some like to make out either a goalkeeper's main reason for being there is to save shots, but they are also responsible for preventing opportunities (box domination) and distributing the ball effectively, Shay is average at very best in these aspects. great keeper, but the 'elite' don't have any weaknesses

i agree but why are you makin this point when he's at least 6 years off retiring rob lee has yet to retire right? it was best the club gave him his testimonial in 2001-02 when his exit was imminent

The abuse Bramble recieves is appalling

have all won tropies during the premiersip era, have always been in the prem

take away pens, and James Beattie's goals to games ratio is roughly 1 in 6, has he scored from open play yet this season? please, nowhere near him Glenn

why? He'll be crocked within 15 games again 15 would be nice

if you think Nobby, Taylor and Ramage starting in defence next season is adequate, you're a madman no offence but jesus christ

do you watch football at all mate? can name 10 Chelsea players i'd rather have than Lampard, if every player had 15 long range efforts per game they'd evetually score as for the comment about our defence, is every average player under the age of 24 destined to be a superstar?

1. Martins 2. Dyer 3. Zog 4. Bramble 5. Milner 7. Duff 8. Emre 9. Baba 10. Parker

Fuck off. are you addicted to getting banned or what? give it up

true but if Luque gets his chance because of this...............

mental comment Bramble is also better than Caragher in terms of attributes, will he be committing suicide?

to be fair, if Luque doesn't start on wed, Roeder deserves to be kicked out of the club on his arse

based on the last two games, he's gonna be unstoppable once he learns exactly how to apply his tools. Hopefully it won't take long

Martins' best performance so far for me yesterday, tried hard, caused a lot of problems, some intelligent off the ball running, terrific pace and strength. but, from a critical viewpoint he couldn't kill a ball with a gun and this needs to be worked on. Still, well done Oba

Only sometimes? do you also wish we had Cannavaro and Nesta sometimes? :winking: Pedro was the best player I've ever seen in a black and white shirt, the things he could do with a football genuinely scared me at times.

I feel like crying that Antoine Sibierski is our 3rd choice striker, I really do. Fuck the lot of em man Martins looks dangerous but he's not gonna score 20 goals this season, and that's what we need

It also took Shearer till his third game before he registered a goal, and his fifth before he scored from open play if memory serves.

you're serious?

yeah, we have a tendancy to forget that while Zamora is a hardly a great player, our squad no longer has a Ferdinand, a Cole, a Beardsley or a Shearer 97-02 in it. the fact is, Shola Ameobi is an automatic starter for our club, sad but true and while I think Zamora is average, he's an improvement on what we have.

I was worried before I saw him play, simply because he is a £10m signing unproven in this league that we are absolutely relying on 1 1/2 games does nothing to change that, i've not been overly impressed but i'm nowhere near ready to make a judgement, he does look quick though in fairness

you know what, the fact that you won didn't make this day an worse because i'm simply past caring, you have a fenian cunt in charge of your club.

absolutely, to buy another midfielder (and a shite one) is ridiculous when they're are so many defenders for sale

You couldnt even break sweat man, you soft clart. Get to bed. go fuck yasell

ROEDER I SHOULD BREAK YOUR FUCKING JAW
