Ronaldo

He said decent places, not utter toilets surrounded by sheep and vermin.

The internet.

England don't have a game of note to play 'til June 2016. Hopefully he'll be fit a 3-4 months before that. Yep. Exactly this.

Who?

City are slime but anything that stops Mourinho winning stuff is fine by me.

Who would go the effort of making that?

And this, obvs.

I can never read the word without wanting to order a Chinese immediately.

As if I, or anyone else, reads the programme notes, man.

I'll let someone else find it but he definitely said that the players were behind Pardew 100% during the peak of the criticism 7 weeks or so back. I don't remember him saying he wanted to leave last November, either.

Well, obviously. The theory about Coloccini playing badly in connection with being massively angry at Pardew fails, though. He couldn't have been that perturbed if he was publically defending him and going against the fans that were singing Jonas' name.

Why did he defend Pardew at the height of his criticism (and Colo's poor performances) then?

Pretty amazing there's a radio station stupider than most fans.

What about those who go there to support the team? Not the rayjeem?

It isn't though. And to be honest I think it's much funnier that someone did him with a dangerous tackle.

I'm almost convinced that as a general rule the biggest egos in football belong to those who set up their team primarily to nullify. There are exceptions but the nicest, most self-deprecating ones at the forefront of the game let their players off the leash.

He's been a the self aggrandising cunt for some time, though. Bit of a shame that losing to Stoke has (rightfully) been the highlight of the season for a lot of us.

OK, he was broken for one day. I'll give you that.

Reminds me of Souness saying his favourite 'wide midfielder' (wingers have no place in the modern game - G.Souness) was Camoranesi because he was great at nothing but good at everything.

As if he ever wavered from that. When we were losing games for a laugh he was going on about 'great times' and fearing for his family.

I got the reference, I've just got no idea how it works in this context with Dave Whelan.

I think Whelan's always been the main one, like. Aye, but did you know he broke his leg? Never tells anyone you see. Doing a Gazza? That would be mint tbh. Eh?

I knew your point, it's worth pointing out that as much as I like Santon I think we've lost more points than gained from that LB position in recent years. A lot to be said for a LB who doesn't give goals away and can score the odd goal.

I think Whelan's always been the main one, like.
