Ronaldo

I agree. I think the type of players we've bought in large quantity mean no significant improvement is likely and his only real excuse is out the door.

It's why players like Ba and Remy who basically create there own chances thrive under Pardew.

Steady on, man. Even playing crap in a team providing no service he's guaranteed to threaten the goal.

Not at CB.

He's never played a competitive match for us man The alternatives have, and they're all shit.

Damn right.

'You're the one who makes the crowd erect.' Cheers, mate. Your English is better than Stifler's.

Him and Rio were brilliant during the WC.

I think I'll be 'bidding' on that auction. Cunt.

You can't have two CBs under 6'. It's just unfeasible in top level football, especially in the PL.

Not clever enough, clumsy and too short.

Ron, I know you hate all "king" references...but surely if he was manager at Selhurst Park, he'd feel like one. I hope Palace sit on the replacement for a while like they did with Holloway. The abuse at SJP may just scare him back home.

Sad day when Micah Richards constitutes an upgrade at CB. Certainly couldn't pair him with Mapou, like.

Pardew's family live 10 mins from Selhurst Park, he's down there himself 3 days a week and he gets to their games when he can. Natural fit.

I give Pulis credit. Horrible style of football but he has his team winning games and doesn't let rubbish chairman talk down to him.

Williamson's the only leader we have at CB, so he absolutely has to start until we spend, sadly.

Yep.

Bolton (h) in 2002 for his best header. Jussi got 2 hands to it and still couldn't keep it out. Actually, no. Barnsley in 1998.

Yes.

Once again: Are folk just perfectly happy to suspend their sense of reason when it comes to players they don't rate?

The seahorses look like Drogba if you squint, too.

4 of his best 5 goals imo were in front of me at the Gallowgate. Lucky to have experienced that stuff. His first two goals against Leicester during his 4-3 hat-trick game were brilliant, too. Also at the Gallowgate.

Spurs in 96-97 shortly before KK resigned was a bit of a solo effort, latched onto a nothing long ball and spun it into gold. Chelsea away that season. Grodas saved the first effort but he kept it, shielded it from 2 defenders and knocked it top corner from the edge of the box. Superb. His goal against Man U in 04-05 was quite the solo effort too. Probably the last of the really good goals he scored for us.

I watched that about 2 hours ago. There's 3 really good Shearer documentaries on Sky's On Demand.
