Ronaldo

our defence is a disgrace, until we sort it we don't deserve to win

we were lucky not to concede 8 last week, how you can even mention bad luck in relation to that game is beyond me

What like the last one he took? Well in shooting range, smarty pants... Its no good being negative before the kick is taken. Each set piece is a carte blanche with no connection with what has happenned before. Robert used to feed off the positive energy in the crowd before taking his free kicks. Nonsense. Robert used to take 4 or 5 practice kicks before the game. If he scored them he scored in the game. Miss them, he missed in the game. He got his confidence from himself not the crowd. yep, James you're talking rubbish mate

So would I. indeed

Fayes isnt a tough player? Taylor tries to be tough but gets muscled off the ball an awful lot

classy girl

we finished 3rd, 4th and 5th with Andy O'Brien, let's get him back Teddy Sheringham, been there and done that, let's sign him too

I like Harper but to call him a top class shot stopper is bordering on ridiculous to be honest

just got back, yes the defence was shit but the attack just as bad Milner on the left, N'zogbia on the right? WHY you fucking joker? Enrique off, N'zogbia goes to LB? does that make any sense to anybody else? constant long balls being played to men of no phsyical strength/stature, Owen doesn't have a chance Butt and Smith being played whatever the weather, but hard workers but neither creates anything going forward I'm a fan of Allardyce, but 2 weeks in a row he's got it horribly, horribly wrong and everyone watching can see it

Marseille the only time i've seen toon fans fighting amongst themselves, very very depressing

you make a very good first point but there is no way he is as good as nesta. it's definetly between Nesta and Ferdinand, Nesta just edges it for me

why 3 years? Drogba's only performed at his highest level for one season, Rooney in 2006/07 was better than Drogba in 2005/06 so at the most Rooney is one year behind Drogba, which isn't suprising considering the two players' ages. So far this season tho, Rooney's probably got the edge, and if he continues playing as he is at the minute, there's a good chance he'll better Drogba's form of last season. Rooney was bad last season. 23 goals for Rooney last season, 16 for Drogba the season before that, and two of those were in the Charity Shield. i'd say both are fairly equal in what they contribute to the team outside of scoring goals. you say that but in 2005-06 Drogba had a ridiculous number of assists

almost a silly thread, Drogba is miles ahead of any other CF in the prem, i'm one of the few to have thought this for a good couple of years now. Give Rooney 3 years and he'll be challenging

it's not bramble then? if Bramble had a few more brain cells he'd be up there

Rio Ferdinand has everything. Not quite as dramatic as Gallas or Toure but that's because he generally always one step ahead of the attacker

hardly kneejerk though, we've lost our last 4 away games and our play has been pathetic, it's a fucking disgrace

first mistake in years? be quiet should have been punished in the first half for his error

odd, didn't you argue (against half the forum) that he was great 3 months ago

Given's touch put the ball in, either ball he should have done a hell of a lot better with it and yes the Emre goal was great, as was his ball for the third

except it was he third time he cocked up massively this afternoon

just got back from the game, tell you what, Given needs a kick in the cunt for that performance

hope he's hitting the gym

should suit each other perfectly those two. Should be them two in the middle for every home game when fit

what the fuck man honestly. How did a club our size end up signing the likes of this joker and Carr, it's almost funny

how anyone can think Taylor has pace is beyond me, the guy has none whatsoever. He has a decent enough engine, that's it
