Ronaldo

0?

Yeah. It'd be Pedro.

I'm not saying he'd jump. But let's be honest, he'd trade that nonsense for the PL in a second if someone pays him enough. Unlikely to be us, fair play, but I don't think the 'risk' factor would deter him one bit.

Nah. You want as many games around Christmas as possible. Christmas is all about sitting and watching stuff.

I think 'ineffective' is a better word for Tiote. There are games where he appears to be doing his job very well, yet it doesn't positively impact us from an attacking or defensive perspective.

Has Zlatan had a nose job?

Indeed.

Like Siem de Jong and Vurnon Anita were satisfied there? Yeah, don't be daft.

Aye, alright. Ours is much better.

If the alternative is that league I'm sure he would, like.

Not that we've ever bought players with their suitability to the rest of the starting Xl in mind, like. Profit.

You'd think we would have, like. All conjecture, of course, but I can't imagine our lot being made aware of a player possibly being off and immediately rushing out to 'panic buy'.

Yes, he was the second player in.

Because he's an arsehole.

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.
