Ronaldo

You really do insist on talking shit about the PL all the time like, Mole. Look at the rubbish that have managed to finish in the top 4 in other leagues recently. Leicester might scrape 6th but I doubt it.

Also don't forget that Carlo sang a few days after the CL win, too. Rafa's hardly likely to sing, is he?

They are Real Madrid though, anything less than winning the thing is considered failure. So Top 4 would be considered a disaster probably. Didn't Ancelotti finish 3rd the year he won the Champions League though? Not like they were playing that bad either They did win La Decima and the Copa del Rey, though. A very good season overall.

Just some random who'll let them revert to autopilot will probably constitute an improvement.

Fucking ludicrous appointment. Very good manager but horribly unsuited to that job.

Hence the "poor man's" Yeah, the point stands. He's nothing like Hodgson at all.

And yet McClaren still talks about the 'attitude of the players' when asked if we're actively interested in a striker.

I don't think McClaren deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Roy Hodgson, like.

Only time I recall him ever criticising our transfer policy during his tenure was behind closed doors at a talk-in when he mentioned the Adam Lallana situation.

Within 10 seconds of Lowes asking him about the obvious need for a CF he was mumbling on about 'the attitude of the players'.

Yes.

I'd forgotten how utterly laced with creativity QPR were last season, like.

Begs the question why he's only being introduced when one of Anita or Colback is unavailable when neither should be playing whenever Cheick is fit to play. Probably because he's been god awful every time he's played for about 4 years. Exactly. A proper midfielder is Speed, Lee, Dyer or Cabaye. Not Cheick fucking Tiote.

That's a silly post, mind.

Pretty sure Paul Merson just said (in reference to Rooney's goal) 'come in the hour, come in the man'.

Charlie Austin would have at least 10 goals for us now. It's sickening.

I just don't understand this unlucky shit. We don't score goals, we don't deserve a thing from these games.

Don't hate him, but he's a fucking pussy. Him and Coloccini probably borrow each other's lingerie.

Rubbish, man. You make your own luck. We're relying on two kids from 2nd/3rd rate leagues to score goals for us instead of spending money on proven ability.

Yep. It's like pissing into a sieve and hoping not to make the floor wet.

Ronaldo will be mortified. Indeed. Gutted one of our players is justifying his paycheque for the first time in years.

They do try, they're just too shit and bereft of ideas to break sides down and make it count - ie with goals, the whole point of playing football.

A blind man saw this coming like: sit deep, break when possible, nothing too ambitious in possession. Unfortunately these games don't keep you up. Consistently beating those around you in the table does that.

If it ain't broke, why fix....umm.. Newcastle 0-1 Everton Newcastle United manager Steve McClaren pleased despite Everton loss "That kind of performance, that bodes well for the future" Possession Newcastle 41% - 59% Everton Shots on Target Newcastle 1 - 7 Everton "If we carry on like this - performances, attitude, the way we fight for things - we'll have a better second half (to the season) than the first." In all fairness our chances were headers and are not classed as shot on target. Shots on target is a misleading stat, keep hitting them from 35 yards out and it's classed as a shot on target when the keeper gathers it. We were much better in the 2nd half in that game, the first half was terrible. Which fucking headers did we get on target anyway?

He isn't.
