Ronaldo

He won't, though. Not in his nature.

Just got off a plane (in Spain) and caught the score. Incredible for Atletico.

Nah, Serrant was pretty shit.

Sig worthy.

£10 on Hull to lift the trophy and Barca to win. Returns £70.

No discussion to be had here, like. Shearer was world class before his injury and generally a very good goalscorer thereafter up until Bobby's departure, where he became a hindrance, not least because of his self-preserving support for Souness. He's the second best player I've seen in our colours.

If he's Shola's replacement, good stuff. If he's Remy's, we've had it.

Good luck to him. Seems a decent lad from everything I've heard and with regular football and decent coaching he'll turn into a fine player with his natural movement.

You really are quite thick.

That's difference between me and you. I watch the games.

Shearer was the best striker in the world when we signed him. I loved him as a player for the majority of his time at NUFC. Fed up of daft little buggers like Brett trying to make threads like this about me, like. I think Colo's an awful captain and pretty much done as a defender. Get over it.

Yeah.

Kinda feels important to me when there's no leadership on the pitch and were getting dicked 4-0 off the likes of Souhthampton and Spurs. Still, it's all good fun.

Amen.

Yeah, great post.

He badly needs to be replaced. It's that simple.

Souness did more damage to the club (with more scope to achieve it) but I hate Pardew far more.

Colo. What does he have to start doing before it's acknowledged he should be replaced, start kicking the ball into his own net?

Pretty strange how many mistakes get forgotten come the end of the season if it's a fan favourite making them, like.

I was practically Colo's biggest fan on here before we signed him and during his first 4 seasons or so. I've nowt against him other than he's significantly declined as a defender physically and otherwise, and the fact he's an awful captain.

Well I wouldn't sell Colo, actually. Nobody has ever wanted to buy him for a start. Do I want us to move past him and invest in a younger, more solid CB pairing including MYM? Yes, absolutely. The rest of the post is like you, not worth bothering to acknowledge.

Yeah, that's why I've spent the last year advocating a solid, physical CB signing like Shawcross that we can pair with Mbiwa. Quality nonsense as per.

Says the bloke who vigorously supported the bloke promoting that very philosophy. Debuchy's a good player. I just think if we'd got a defender less effective going forward and more effective defensively there'd have been less of a reluctance to start Ben Arfa in his rightful position on the RW.

His weakness is very much one-on-one situations and it's been evident throughout the season.

Don't think that has anything to do with it tbh, even when Debuchy was injured Ben Arfa still hardly played at all. Well, yeah, because the replacements were even worse in that respect.
