Ronaldo

He's the captain and the senior CB. You could easily argue that of all the players, he's the one who totally fails to do his job most regularly.

The senior players are on Pardew's side. Probably because any real manager would look at most of them and laugh at the utter fucking putridity of them as footballers.

I think so, yes. I've never seen anyone strike a football better for us, and as frequently to the team's huge benefit. Robert naturally had absolutely everything I'd want from a winger and more.

I've said this before but what role would he play with a striker next to him? He's neither a finisher nor a creator.

as i replied to you yesterday i'm still not convinced he would as he'd never get his british backbone with us Did I not just allude to that, mate?

Gullit too. Though I'm pretty sure Roeder took money, whereas Rudd didn't.

Moyes would be ideal if he was prepared to be paid peanuts and be given any old random rubbish in the transfer market.

Robert left under Souness, but I agree in spirit.

I don't want to defend the bloke one bit because he sets us up all wrong and clearly can't motivate the players, but a lot of 'us' for a long time have been in utter denial about just how bad our defenders are. Coloccini, Williamson and Haidara (at this extremely raw stage of his career) wouldn't get into many if any PL teams.

Ashley would sack him. Whether it'd be too late to stop us from going down or not is another matter.

When one page represents a (utterly horrific) 2-year gap I'd say that one's pretty fucking obvious, like.

The manager and captain are two of the biggest cowards ever to be associated with the club and it's permeated.

Cronky.

He can't be completely judged on his performances under Pardew but it's pie in the sky hoping he'll turn out to be the PL striker we need.

By that standard they've been trying to throw most of our games since late 2012.

I'd forgotten about Rodgers' unique brand of 'correct' football. ie 90 minutes of aimless hoofs and long shots. Oh, and Rickie Lambert.

As if Balotelli maybe getting 12 goals a season is going to come close to replacing Suarez.

Agent Doubtfire with the confirmed kill.

Crumpy's getting the plod involved.

Kinnears worked out how to use the internet?

Why did he ask for it then? Initially you mean ? Because he cares for his beloved club who's name was getting dragged in the mud. He wanted to save it from relegation. You honestly didn't know this ? I meant after we were relegated you complete tool.

Why did he ask for it then?

As much as he was/is a shit actor, Pierce Brosnan with that haircut looked superb as Bond.

Really? The same Bobby who called the fans jerks???

So refraining from acting like that constitutes a 'stab in the back'? Shut up. No, I meant more by agreeing with the fans. He's basically stood up for his mate. Why are their such double standards in football? We're allowed to call players, referees, managers and coaches whatever we like, but as soon as someone does it back we grab our handbags and cry about it? Bloody ridiculous. Clearly not, as the stupid cunt took offence to a perfectly legitimate banner.
