Ronaldo

I'm pretty sure the deal was concluded with the player before Colo went insane.

Who doesn't? Anyway, Tiote's obviously been tapped up by some nondescript Russian rubbish offering him more money and more wives. No great loss to see him go.

Correct football.

I think they wanted a replacement for Mike Williamson and got it totally wrong, basically. Colo was never going anywhere because nobody else has ever wanted him.

What?

I wouldn't say that. The breakfast show yesterday was embarrassing listening as they tried to claim that where he was from was a big part of the reason for us wanting him out. I only listen to Drivetime. Probably should've said that. I think Phil Brown works for the station and made some comments in defence of Pardew. Adrian Durham responded in the afternoon by calling Brown 'a disgrace'.

Suarez > Lolerpool.

Steady on. He's a very good manager but he's not Ancelotti or Guardiola.

I've just listened to Talksport having a go at him yet again. They're the only ones genuinely telling it like it is.

The shit case for the shit defence.

On the other hand I must be wrong if fans of Coloccini and Pardew disagree.

Why's he the one getting criticised? He's the last of the back 4 that should be criticised tonight.

Aye, the one who costs us goals every game and gets away with it for being 'good on the ball, unlike that dummett lol'.

I think your criticism is based on my nationality and reputation. Nah, you and a few others are the only ones stupid enough to blame a 23-year-old LB for the 32-year-old captain's shortcomings. Even Pardew would be proud of that scapegoating.

You've been defending the shoddiest captain in the league for months now who yet again tonight let us down and you come into this thread to have a go at fucking Paul Dummett - the LB who couldn't help us equalise. You're ridiculous.

He's not even vaguely looked like a natural defender in any of his PL starts. It's selective criticism based on nationality and reputation.

TCD singles out only Dummett and Cisse for criticism. Predictable and ludicrous.

I think Dummett's a poor footballer and a pretty solid defender who unreasonably gets far more criticism than players who are costing us goals every week because he's an easier target. It's pathetic, to be honest.

He certainly can't.

As if anyone says that, man.

Of course you do. He's a defender who isn't very good going forward. Worst of the worst.

I'm not judging, but by Christ has he been awful so far, thankfully.

I love the fact this rubbish seems to get a mention every time we play Stoke.
