Ronaldo

Strange hatred to have. There's no hated, he's just not that good. Shithouse though? Seems a bit strong for someone who is admittedly limited but seems a decent enough bloke. Yeah, I've actually no idea why I used that word. I just don't like seeing him play for England.

At least this means Rickie Lambert will be nowhere near. Shithouse that he is.

Evasive action.

Spotted.

Slovenia must be shit.

Rooney was thinking about claiming was he? What nonsense.

Dummett and Cisse also out for the season.

I don't think I could possibly be any more impressed by that bloke.

Yeah, but it's not.

Ryan fucking (substitute in the Championship in 2009) Taylor starting at LB in the PL in 2015.

Same here. My only trip to SJP was in 2005 against Liverpool when he scored the only goal, a free kick. Was that his last goal for us? Free kick against Olympiakos a few days later. Check out Sewelly's compilation of his goals on YouTube.

I said, he's basically a pefect pro. Just not my type of player even during his peak, and certainly not now.

It's about as relevant, or less so, than what Souness achieved before coming here. Poor managers win stuff. McClaren's an average 5/10 manager and nothing in his CV suggests otherwise.

Beardsley and Robert were tied for me until his defences of Ashley and Pardew. Still love Beardsley, just not as much.

Same. And same.

At least Kinnear's funny.

Is there 32 in Sewelly's video? He missed a couple out.

It was more than that. 30 in the league according to Wiki and I can think of at least 5 in the cups.

So beating Oldham, Boro, City (then in second tier), Arsenal, Sheff Wed and a Spurs side containing Ben Thatcher and Chris Perry better than taking Boro (via victories over Stuttgart, Roma and Basel) to the UEFA Cup final? Yes, winning is better than finishing 2nd. That's before you even take into account which teams listed there were taking the respective tournaments more seriously. Kuffour, Mexes, Chivu, De Rossi, Perrotta, Dacourt all started for Roma against them. But hey ho. Sorry, are you saying losing 4-0 to Sevilla in the Uefa Cup is a better achievement than wining the (admittedly shit) League Cup with Blackburn? I'm fucking bored with this shit, anyway. Anyone legitimately wanting Steve 'Derby are doing well in the Championship and he did well at Boro' McClaren over the suggested/approached realistic European options is a mong. End.

Boro had a better side than Blackburn, too. No idea why you're bothering constructing a defence for him, IP. Assuming he's marginally better than I've suggested, negative football and average results achieve what?

And nobody said he was shit. As I've already said, he's a 5/10 manager with a CV and style which inspire absolutely nothing other than indifference. It'll be shit football and average (at best) results. What will any of us get out of that? Fucking nothing.

He isn't. Souness' league cup win with Blackburn eclipses anything McClaren's achieved, also.

Sorry, but this just strikes me as small-minded sensationalism. Or common sense that some don't want to hear. Is he a better option that Kinnear, Pardew and Carver? Yes. But that's hardly an endorsement. So had/has Graeme Souness. I don't even know who you are, bugger off and stop wasting my time.
