Ronaldo

I wonder if Mick actually thinks Colo's a good captain.

That's a Giggs parody.

The fans wouldn't accept Carver. Crap manager at lower level and total idiot at this one.

That is fucking brilliant.

Yeah, fuck him too.

RBs seldom are.

Fuck these journalists anyway, none of them have remotely told is like it regarding Ashley and Pardew.

Hmmm, they're 3/4 on Skybet. Whacked a wedge on it.

Venison gives added leadership at the back and is excellent cover for the marauding Gillespie. I was tempted to put Solano in but I just think with Beardsley in there and Robert's delivery there's enough of what Solano offers.

http://www.worldfootball.net/attendance/ita-serie-a-2013-2014/1/ Should've said big 5, probably. Around 15,000 then. Ludicrous.

I'd love to know the mean attendance in Serie A without the big 4 sides, like.

from the stories you hear he's got a massive ego problem though no? I think it's just him acting as if. There's no ego big enough on the planet to withstand getting sacked from Championship and League One clubs and still come out with the rubbish he does. It's pretence and self-delusion.

I don't even think it's ego per se with him. I just think he's a downtrodden, insecure gimp try trying to con himself into delusions of success.

Are you a WUM?

More like Mike Williamson, who's been his boss since his debut (on loan) against Palace.

Absolutely no question he's fully aware of the hostility towards him and trying to inflame it further.

Interested to hear Ronaldos opinion on this I'll leave it to others, to be honest. But it's plainly obvious he's not the boss of anyone or anything, personally or professionally.

I don't believe a word of that. As far as I know we were actually approached by the corrupt bloke who ended up owning Portsmouth for a few months. He was working for Mansour right up until and slightly after buying Man City, he spat his dummy out when he didn't become Man City chairman. According to him, perhaps. Either way I don't believe an offer was made from Mansour and Ashley rejected it.

So please, what's your excuse for picking Howey over Colo and Woodgate? I'm not even vaguely sure why you've quoted that post, but I'll answer. I saw Howey partner Albert and they represent a really good CB partnership, perfect for front foot attacking PL football. If you'd read my entire post that would've become clear.

It was actually the old division 3 we were close to slipping into when KK was appointed. Great read nonetheless.

Nah, he 'butted Shearer's foot. Real coward's move.

Well fucking obviously, but there aren't buyers out there like there perhaps once was. A buyer for Villa hasn't been found (Bank of America Merrill Lynch) and they're valued considerably less.

Especially now with financial fair play. Football clubs just aren't being bought speculatively any longer.

What's almost as 'unreal' is the fact there's still a defence for Colo on here despite the fact he's been awful as a captain and a defender for well over 18 months now.

Shaka was a good keeper who had confidence issues, not helped by Keegan's tendency to drop and swap. If Shaka had been in goal throughout 95-96 we'd have won the league. Pavel was a lovely bloke but a really bad goalkeeper whose career predictably went to hell when he left us the first time.
