Ronaldo

At 22 he doesn't have the potential to be better than Danny Simpson. And to think I took this guff seriously for a minute.

I'm saying you don't let him go on loan. You keep him around the team in some capacity. And we have absolutely no reason to think he'd have accepted that.

Mike, what are you actually advocating here? If he wanted first team football surely the best thing for him would be to get that at club who were offering it.

I quite agree but we don't know the context. If he's said he wants first team football and we've told him to find another team I don't see a problem.

He's better than Danny Simpson, man. Piss off.

I know he's obviously been treated harshly but under no circumstances should he have been kept in the first team out of sympathy.

I know he's really poor on the ball but given that he's a 22-year-old who's only played 20 PL games, the fact he's pretty solid defensively and looks a threat in the air going forward should be a bit of a cause for optimism once Pardew pisses off.

Which one, specifically?

We're sorted if he can have a decent game against Palace reserves, like.

We were against Crystal Palace reserves. Read nowt into it.

Well that was entertaining. Shame we won but it sets up the next few games nicely, though. Batterings.

Neither's anybody, to be fair. Juninho. I meant anyone playing in a real league.

Neither's anybody, to be fair.

Medhilol.

Super Frank got 2 for City, I see.

He'd have the 'sovrin' excuse, though.

Aye. I'm liking him more by the minute.

GET IN!

He would make it all about him, and would mention it every time he opened his mouth and there was a camera or microphone around. He would ruin the joy of it completely. Would you rather not win a cup, or have Pardew be the one to win it? Not win one. Don't care what anyone thinks of me I'm with this man.

Say it to ma face fat boy.

Palace are so bad.

Same here. Winning it keeps the mongs onside.

Elliot's the definition of shit.

Eh? I thought Brewce wanted him gone.
