Ronaldo

Two brilliant finishes from Long, like.

Football of fear. It totally permeates the league. So many average, if that, managers all frightened to play expansive footy from the off. Or maybe he's just not playing well?

Was he not just the most expensive in this country?

11/10 I got for them today. Ridiculous.

van Gaal will be gone within a year. Total wrong fit for that club.

I'll never understand anyone, especially someone in this country, supporting diving, like. As if pretending has any legitimate part in professional sport.

On the bench for Hull against Burnley ffs. He's like a case study on awful career decisions and pissing talent away.

Pardoned works better, actually.

No, Cabella and Aarons deserve it more. Think before typing in future.

Thankfully it'll never happen.

Sammy's done very little to warrant starting for us.

Do you miss Sherwood yet, Leffe?

City wasn't a PL game, like, but the point stands.

Is that Shinawatra still living like a king in West London 'on the run' from Thai police?

At which time he was probably 20.

Why isn't he in the U21 squad?

Bruce? What in the fuck is that about?

So not at all, in other words.

Clearly no middle ground between sticking the boot in and consistently lavishing him with praise.

Keegan's experience in 2008 should make him even less inclined to praise Pardew. Firstly because he knows the type of cowardly snake who'd accept working under such conditions for 4 years, secondly because knows how low Mike Ashley's ambitions are, and thirdly because he should be acutely aware that it is possible to play reasonably attractive, effective football under the Ashley model.

I am very glad I didn't bet tonight.

Ally McCoist would be better. Allardyce gets called fat a lot but he's actually just a massive bloke with a massive head.

KKs experience with Ashley causes him to sympathize with Pardew. It's annoying as fuck but I understand why he does it. You're ridiculous as well, then. We've lost more games than any other PL team in the past 3 seasons and Pardew deserves to be labelled 'great' because Mike 'wants to finish 10th' Ashley is his boss. Do one.

Yes.

I can't either, but fuck him. He talks utter nonsense about our situation. And I think him, Pedro and Shearer constantly defending Pardew is part of the reason the campaign failed to ignite.
