Ronaldo

They should've taken the Mick McCarthy route and made 10 changes.

They'll have won a total of 13 trophies in that time when they secure the league, mind. More than a trophy a season.

3 could come from Southampton. Got a bad feeling about that game.

Thought exactly the same t'other day. I'd abuse him all game, wait for him to bite back then beat him up.

That's a brilliant piece. I hope Wendy reads it and has a nervous breakdown.

He can't take all the blame when we've got a captain who's been stealing a living for years. A lot of other players follow his example, too.

I'd love to know which ones you mean.

I'd be frightened, but I could barely care less, really. Relegation is what the owner/MD/manager, most of the players and most of the fans deserve.

Indeed.

I came in to post this (more or less) in response to ronaldos latest proclamation that cabella isn't physically up to it...I was wondering how he was ghosting past the Chelsea midfield and defence looking every bit a 15m player in one of the only games under carver where the team played with confidence and movement, for a half Ryan Taylor, Jonas, Gouffran and Sammy Ameobi have had good games against Chelsea over the years. If you think Cabella's physicality isn't a problem I'd suggest you re-familiarize yourself with his general impact on games this season. He's a very fine player technically but he'll never succeed at this level unless the physical issue is addressed.

Someone told me they'd taken advantage of the suspension and let him have it. Badly needed.

Final game this one. He may not be back for the others unless he's recovered from his knee op.

Yes, but it's only Lee. He's weird and thick. Ignore.

Matic is nowhere near Busquet's level as a defensive midfielder. Terry wouldn't get in ahead of Godin and a reformed Pique either, or Varane for that matter. Why am I even having this debate when you think Hazard would get in ahead of Messi, Suarez, Neymar or Ronaldo.. Varane, Godin and Pique, man. Give over.

He's 29, in his 5th season with the richest club in the world and has been earning big wages since he was 17. Of course he's gonna be up there, man.

Ah, of course.

Fuck knows. The smallest ground I can think of (prior to this lot coming up) was Filbert Street. It held around 20,000.

Kermogant must have a fetish for missing penalties that could secure promotion.

there's plenty of people who have made fortunes but still treated their staff with dignity and respect. Exactly what I was about to say. I know a couple of multimillionaires who started close to the bottom as poor graduates and you genuinely couldn't meet nicer people.

Dennis really has looked 50+ his entire life.

There's a brilliantly simple Paint job to be made right now.

He isn't taking calls.

I have affection for you, Kaka.

And then takes it out on the family dog.
