Ronaldo

The dross probably have the odd goal in them.

Either way if he's our first choice striker we're going down.

A good game ffs. This is the idiocy that plagues NUFC.

100%. He's nowt special but today showed why I'm happy for him to replace Tiote.

You can guarantee every manager in the league (barring ours) knows what a walking weakness he is.

You expect owt else? He's been finished as a PL CB for almost 2 years.

x2.

Dzeko leaves Coloccini like he's a little old lady.

He has to disclose it, like.

Indeed. Shit scared to play an attacking full back. He can't attack for shit, man.

I think a quarter of the forum would concur.

He's an Ulsterman, the fuck do you expect?

Ever been to Florida?, go two blocks in land and it's a no go zone. If you're a timid little pussy like you, perhaps.

Was out of contract. And far too ugly for that squad.

Makes you appreciate Lampard all the more, eh, Beren?

If you want to use those kind of variables we could cite Pardew finishing 5th or Big Sam finishing 6th with Bolton. I'll leave it there. Not repeating myself again.

When did Hughes and Bruce finish 4th with no money to spend? Hughes couldn't even get the world's richest club 4th.

As if Joey Barton's starting PL games in CM in 2014, man.

Not relevant then, is it?

Which would've been worth a post if there was any 'knee-jerking' going on. I saw Arsenal last season and I'm not impressed with their summer signings. I also said the same last month before a ball had been kicked.

Arsenal aren't doing a thing this season.

I think so too.

Point being what? Moyes did it consistently over a decade with arguably an inferior side and no Ba, Cisse and Hatem in the best form of their careers.

I'm excited about the prospect of us getting tonked and Pardew being forced out, personally.

Pretty good to finish in those positions on a shoestring budget? Massive understatement.
