Ronaldo

Who you said wasn't good enough for England or the PL a few months back.

What a load of garbage.

Yes but wouldn't Ronaldo look far more impressive doing it?

VI, just how much better was Ronaldo (Luís Nazário de Lima) than Messi, both on their best days, on a scale of 1-10?

As if anyone takes that pisstained old adipose wad seriously, man. I remember reading a serialised part of his book a year ago in which he blames his relegation with QPR on them not spending enough money.

That's a bit different, mind. I don't remember the goal but if it was a great strike or whatever the opposition is fairly irrelevant.

Only Roy Keane could cause a confrontation like that in the posh(er) end of Hale, like.

This is a fucking fabulous example of making up what you didn't see and don't know. Lol good one, although I grew up in his era and I couldnt give a fuck what you think bruv I was convinced you were under 30, like.

I'd argue he deals better with pace than Williamson and Colo.

No. I'd assume that sooner rather than later he'd have us challenging for it.

Erm, we're 18th, one place off 17th. We're not backed by sovrins.

This is a fucking fabulous example of making up what you didn't see and don't know.

Nor is anyone, if your definition of special exceeds challenging for the top 4.

That's just not true. Who else is sensible? I'd take all of them over Pardew in a second, don't get me wrong.

Aye, finishing 4th with no money.

Davies is a good shout but he didn't have the U-21 career Taylor had.

Moyes is really the only sensible choice from that list. Shame he's unrealistic because he'd have us finishing top half comfortably in spite of the shambolic start.

Anything really to suggest De Boer wouldn't fall flat on his face like Magath or Pepe Mel, by the way?

No. He's only been called up once and didn't make the squad through injury. Taylor's sat on the bench at least twice without coming on.

Has anyone come as close to an England cap without actually getting one?

A good finish and a penalty against Palace reserves is good enough for a player of the month nomination now.

I understand the admiration for Zidane but it's utterly ridiculous to even suggest he's in Ronaldo's league.

He's won four league titles in the best two leagues in the world. Everyone would pick him in that scenario, though some won't admit it.

Ian still pushing the idea that Colo is somehow our most influential player instead of a coward and utter liability.
