Ronaldo

Just has a touch of class. Kind of like how even though he was a bit fat Kluivert just oozed class. Intelligent movement, he can always find a bit of space, good first touch, pretty quick, good at jinking past a player and has a real strikers instinct. Puts Cisse and the like to shame in so many ways. 8 goals in the equivalent of about 8 games and you still can't resist.

The way I see it, it's this forum that's changed, not me. The only acceptable view seems to be that Pardew is both fool and knave, and that anyone who doesn't realise this and want him out asap is daft or has been duped. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground on here any more. Believe that if you want, but it makes it very difficult to post on here if your view is different, even to quite a moderate extent. You don't occupy the middle ground, though. Your posts consistently contrast with any sane person's definition of common sense.

Saw that. Same old Southern Boys Club. Load of nonsense.

Spot the difference. Abeid excelled at Panathinaikos last season while Vuckic warmed the bench at Rotherham United.

He is really slow, like. You can't get away with that at this level unless there's exceptional quality there.

Gutted for the lad ffs. He won the lottery coming here instead of scratching around France for a pittance. Just a shame he's an utterly useless footballer.

A world I'd rather not imagine, thanks. If you're trying to imply that wasn't a war needed to be fought by the Allies you need to do some reading.

There's no maybe about it. He played deeper than Tiote for most of their time as a partnership.

We can expect an article from Jonas soon about how incredibly supportive Pardew's been, too.

I'm 99.9% fucking done with this shit.

Cunts.

He's made such comments about 7th-9th being 'top of the league for us' before.

Allardyce, as rubbish as his football generally is, has shown himself to be a much better manager than Pardew.

He did alright against Norwich once in a 0-0 epic. Give the lad a break.

Similar amount for me, though I had them +1 so 0-0 would've done.

Players who weren't even that highly rated in France belong nowhere near this league. I'm fed up of our ludicrously shit approach to recruitment.

He may have been Pardewed but it was clear from his debut he was never an orthodox winger. Never had the ability with the ball at his feet.

We're going to bump heads a bit, aren't we? Given the quality of the strikers, they should have scored, so his assist total should have been bountiful. Stupid strikers. Not really. It was his job to make things happen and he didn't. Mainly because his crossing, passing and general striking of a ball resembled that of Amdy Faye in Timberland boots. Like Gouffran, he ended up at Newcastle United because he cost peanuts and stayed in the side because he grafted and was respectful of management while never performing as an attacking player should.

People only dislike him because of his brother. No, it's because he's shit.

The fans got exactly what they deserve today, too. Thick spineless arseholes.

But but but Golfmag says he has his hands tied.

Gouffran and Sammy are a disgrace to the shirt.

Sissoko'll be off to Manchester or London first chance he gets, man.

Of course he doesn't deserve the shirt.
