Nope.

Then why would it worry you?

It (rightly) gets higher every week.

Anyone wanna bet he equals or betters Best's 10 PL goals?

Why would that worry you?

Cronky would be proud of that statement from Jenas, like.

He'll be hungover.

:thup:

I don't know what you think you're playing at leaving Laurent Charvet and Fabrice Pancrate out, mind.

Ironic that. You can't blame them either according to some on here.

Christ. My girlfriend's a better driver than him.

No, but he'd be undroppable, even by the standards of this idiot.

It's not just the lack of vocal leadership, the example he sets is one of incompetence, cowardice and nonchalance.

True. Hatem's got special talent but Robert consistently turned draws and defeats into wins, against top teams as well. No substitute for that.

No question we're going down with this squad and manager.

Hopefully the fifth will be a mass celebration.

Indeed. Like dying is a symptom of being shot.

Not really. He never picked himself as captain did he? His rapid and sudden decline started when the story about him wanting to go back home emerged. He wasn't himself prior to that, but he wasn't the complete train wreck he is now. Having said that, if he had been turning in these performances in a team that functioned with a purpose and direction, and Colo had been the weak link, I'd agree totally. No one out there, apart from Krul probably, has a clue what they are supposed to be doing. No one! EDIT: I totally agree regarding the captaincy issue that he should lead from the front, but it's clearly not his thing. Pardew should recognize this and take it off him and hand it to someone who understands the responsibility that comes with it! Oh right. None of the players 'pick' their responsibilities so we can just absolve them all.

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?
