Ronaldo

If you can think of another reason, I'd love to hear it. Not that you'll ever come up with one. His best mate Jonas publically complained about Pardew's treatment of him when diagnosed with cancer and a week later Colo was in the paper defending Pardew's position as team manager. That's the type of person he is: he takes his money and does what he's told whether he thinks it's right or wrong. Leaders don't do that, but a captain who'd question those above is about as likely at NUFC as a manger who complains about players being sold.

It's a terrible choice. But it's basically a choice between poor footballer with good pace and poor footballer with average pace.

93-97 is closer to the truth.

If he's so good, would you have him here? With legitimate options such as Garde on the table, no. Instead of Charver or Pardew, in a fucking second.

I'd imagine getting kicked in the bollocks with steel-toe boots feels preferable to watching Gouffran play for NUFC.

You can't mean Shola, I think even you could belong in his company as a footballer and I've never seen you play.

He failed to deliver when marginalised by the mercenaries Remy and Ba. Other than that he's generally always scored goals. He got us 5th in 2012, kept us in the PL in 2013 and has basically repeated that in 2015.

Bit weird that having Spurs in 3rd place form for his entire time there is somehow negated by an attacking style of football and means of getting appointed, mind. Sounds like biased drivel to me.

Good.

What makes English manager Sherwood crap other than conjecture based on your Canadian expertise, DJ?

I think we'll also have to accept that Palace under Pardew are probably better than NUFC under Charver.

Five years? Jesus. Not sure they'll let Williamson on the field with a zimmer frame. He's 2 years younger than Colo, mind.

Give him the armband. Not really a leader but the only player who consistently does his job very well.

Return of the crap. Once again.

That takes me back to 1994 and Sherwood nearly taking his knee off.

Hope the dogs ok. Yes. Yes indeed.

The Championship. We'd have been there since 2013 without him.

One day Garth Crooks will take his dog for a walk up the motorway and get what's coming to him.

As if some wanted Perez playing instead.

Best I've seen Villa play all season.

Palace have a better defence than us which allows them to be a bit cavalier. That's the reason they'll finish above us.

Ridiculous team all round.

I'm sure that's why he couldn't even get a game for Hughton's Norwich City.

He's captain because he's an extension of the 'yes sir, whatever you say sir' attitude prevalent at board, management and coaching level. Nolan wasn't, and was sold.

Who's going to pay £4m+ though? He's one of those players that all the lazy ex-pro pundits seem to rate but no manager is interested in.
