Ronaldo

Aye. I do think we should be far more tolerant of captains who can't lead and defenders who don't defend, like.

Man, I love this guy.

Nothing we didn't know. Shithouse fairy coward.

It's the fact he speaks like a bloke in the pub who hasn't seen most of our players play that attracts criticism.

Our side has no leadership or bollocks, that's the difference.

Not even Navas is that shit.

No Carroll, nowt to play for and Nolan's back smoking 40 a day.

Sherwood says it and does what he can to make it happen, that's the difference. Pardew says it and plays 3 defensive midfielders.

Off the top of my head he finished 4th, 5th at least twice, 6th at least twice and 7th and 8th. Don't kid yourself for a second. He did a brilliant job at Everton with no money to spend. If he'd been manager of NUFC from 2002-2013 there'd be a statute of him going up.

You have to be a special kind of idiot to use the progression of fucking Gouffran as a reason to be optimistic for Rivière, like. I already hate this prick more than Pardew.

Pretty sure my argument re. Harewood at the time was he was a good Championship-level player much better than Nile Ranger and probably Shola too. Aye, I got that one massively wrong, like.

He's shit on the ball as well, man.

Moyes wins games and finishes in European places, that's the only reason he wouldn't work as Newcastle manager. Pardew was hailed as a hero because he finished 5th with defensive football. Moyes's style is much more positive.

Fuck, it's tough being so right so much of the time.

Ha. You deserved far more than you got against us, too. Not saying he's the next great coach or owt but there's far more suggesting he's a good manager than bad.

You've scored 5 goals in 4 games under him, and played very good watchable stuff in the process. I'd call that a minor miracle.

If you had owt about you as a poster you'd have done that for me. Just a criminally bad effort by Mistle. Spurs would've finished 3rd with their form under Sherwoord stretched over a full season. They're currently 6th. Vast improvement indeed. Over 28 games he averaged 1.64 points per game, which would've given them 62.4 points over the course of 38 games. This would be less than the 69 points they actually ended up with. They would have finished 7th and not 6th. Obviously it's just an average, but to state that he'd finish 3rd (>82 points), is rather far fetched. It was actually 1.91 points per game according to this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31470606. Over a full season that's 73 points. Generally good enough for 4th, and often 3rd. Of course, it's all conjecture to suggest who those points would've come form and subsequently how league positioning would've been affected.

Hughton took him last season. He lost his job and Norwich got relegated shortly after.

Saw Andy Garcia playing in the Pro-am last month at Pebble Beach. He no longer looks like Berbatov. Gutted.

Maybe a tad against Barca and Bayern but that was to be expected. Anyway, as I said, I wasn't talking about Chelsea and I was going a lot further back than 2012, too.

Neither had much to do with Jonas, mind.

These days Arsenal have to fight to the last game just to scrape 4th. No wonder they don't succeed at this level of the CL.

What a dick. Mind you, the atmosphere at our Primary School when Keegan resigned in '97 was so bleak that anyone unfamiliar with football would've assumed there'd been a multiple child fatalities as a result of a shooting rampage.
