Ronaldo

If he stays.

Easily. Truth be told I'm not entirely comfortable with Darlow as our first choice either, mind.

As if this guy still has people defending him, man.

Nah. But aye though. Nah it's complete bollocks. He's cost us as many points, if not more, than he won with the odd good performance e.g. Bournemouth. Krul had been poor for a while but Elliot still hasn't really been better than him. He's just not good enough at this level, he's not tall enough, doesn't dive well, horrendously slow off his line, positioning not the best. Decent shop stopped as almost all professional footballers are and decent reflexes. He's just not very good. State of this post It's 100% accurate.

Oh, good. He let that one in but it wasn't overly calamitous. Get lost with this bullshit, man.

Krul to be fair is good at taking the initiative and dominating his box, especially for his age. He's still probably 5 years off his prime. It was definitely Given's weakness, no question. Elliot's just pretty shit, end of. It does wind me up when people say 'good shot stopper' mind. Every goalkeeper from Conference above is a good shot stopper. You get some who are absolutely incredible, obviously, like De Gea.

Give me a break, man. Better than expectations but far from good enough. Townsend easily.

As if he's chewing gum and wearing his manager's suit.

Yeah, he's an idiot who says stupid things. Welcome to 2009.

It's an absolute dump with loads of character. Fantastic away day overall, too. Couldn't put my finger on why but much preferred it to Elland Road when I went Probably because Elland Road should be condemned.

Townsend looks awesome, like. As he always has done in an England shirt. Just goes to show what being at a club that doesn't play to your strengths can do.

It's not, though, is it.

Be quiet, man.

Hype.

Why wouldn't he be pleased? He's going regardless.

Looks like he's going, then.

How do you decide on who's fit for premier league purpose? Danny Simpson has a premier league winner's medal round his neck right now, did you predict that? You've spent the best part of a year (rightly) alluding to the fact too many of our players can't compete physically and that Steve McClaren is a shit manager. Now you're saying the bloke most responsible for bringing them here isn't culpable.

Oh, he was being paid to spend the past 4 years signing players not fit for PL football, then? Ok.

We've just been relegated after signing his players/managers for the past half-decade, man. Of course he's a shit scout.

The thing I've questioned, repeatedly, is Carr's ability to find players - ie seeing things on the pitch that you average bloke couldn't, then bringing the right players to the club for our purposes. Nobody would argue the 3 players mentioned don't represent good business. It obvious his 'skill' lies in discovering when players are sometimes going for less than they're worth. That isn't scouting, it's networking. He's a shit scout with decent contacts, basically.

Words fail me.

Spotting a price/contractual vulnerability and spotting a player are two completely different things. Anyone giving him credit for 'spotting' those three needs a fucking slap. I don't even like French football but I knew all 3 would be very good signings before we got them.

Except hardly any of us knew who Cabaye was when we signed him and don't lie. Fuck off. He'd been suggested on here before we signed him, man.
