Ronaldo

'kin ell The state of the British youth man ... Nigerian youths on the other hand are just slow in another sense.

He was being called it by all and sundry in the stands against Burnley 4 months ago.

Nah, sounds like you don't watch Madrid too often. He's been absolutely amazing for them.

A couple of cousins of mine played against Beardsley in one of those club-organised games you can buy a couple of years ago. Said Beardsley scored 6 goals in the space of 10 minutes without breaking sweat. One of them's a decent athlete in his early 20s and said Beardsley did him for pace time after time. So yeah, I'd play him.

I think there'd always be a place in any England team I've seen for Terry, like. It's not just how good he is at defending - he demands (and usually gets) the absolute best from those around him.

I'm fed up of it and needed an interim. Get it?

Last week he said he shouldn't even have to go into the dressing room. He needs to be put down for the good of all concerned.

Injuries, ffs. Give over.

Frightened to bollock Coloccini and Williamson. Need a man in goal.

Around 30 points iirc.

You're talking about the club that received £35m for their best player and attempted to replace him for the final 4 months of the season with free transfer Shefki Kuqi.

Maybe he was in favour of boycotting?

Once again the point has been missed. When Messi is dispossessed it's because of his ambition to take risks and make something happen. Cabella's just built like a little woman and can't get himself into games frequently enough because of it.

Surely this would be included in the 'dispossessed' stat? His dispossession for the season has been 1.7 times per game on average, which really isn't bad at all. I'm tired of this stats shit now but I'd certainly guess it wouldn't, as the said weakness prevents him from gaining possession in the first place.

If this was the issue with Cabella, I wouldn't have a problem with it. It's the fact a technically accomplished player isn't having any impact on games because he can't physically hold his own.

How many times does he gets muscled away from/out of possession? Two totally different aspects of the game being discussed here.

I agree that Cabella needs to bulk up and start shouldering a challenge in order to compete in this league. But come on, he's way better than the alternatives we have. Gouffran, Obertan, Sammy and Joans wouldn't be worth 12 million combined. He clearly has something about him. Nobody wants Ben Arfa, yet he's miles better than Cabella, unfortunately. I'd start Cabella every game because he's better than alternatives, doesn't mean there isn't massive room for improvement. And yes, everyone knows Hatem is better.

Well, he 'beats' his man, on average, 2.2 times a game. I've not found how many attempts he makes, yet. What does this rubbish even mean? Next you'll be telling me Sol Campbell's the quickest player in our squad . It means he successfully dribbles past his man, on average, 2.2 times a season. Sounds pretty shit imo.

That's not the point, though, Messi's strong on the ball. Cabella's extremely weak on it.

And how many times a game does he lose out in a shoulder-to-shoulder? Cabella's a weakling and it's held him back big time this season in additional to partially explaining why real clubs didn't try to sign him.

I like Cabella but he's weak on the ball to an embarrassing degree.

Why the fuck is Valenica marking Stones?

Collymore would defend Hitler if he thought people would tweet him racist abuse in response. The bloke's the lowest of the low.
