Ronaldo

Unpopular but Ben Arfa's problems clearly stretch farther than just Pardew. Disappointing. That's fine. Doesn't change the fact he's our best player with no viable alternatives in the squad.

Like who? Everyone who's slagged him off has their own selfish agenda to follow.

Disagree, IMO he's better with a proper DM where his job is to keep the ball moving. A bit like Lucas and Allen at Liverpool. You can't have 2 out of the 3 midfielders having no goal threat or creativity whatsoever. It just doesn't work.

More to do with the fact he's be staging his own Carragher and Neville dickhead of the week competition in the last 4 months.

Must kill you that a player who's been awful as a captain and pretty laughable as a defender has run his race with a lot of posters, like. Overall I still think he'd be worth keeping provided he wasn't starting games or captaining.

Yeah, that Hatem's off.

It'll help develop young English talent no end and be brilliant for the national team. Not a good thing for club football, though.

He's probably been assured that Hatem's going to be sold.

Man I saw a post about no trophies and thought you'd forgotten. Not a hint of condescension was intended.

I really do wish there were more men on this forum, like. Can't even offer a correction without the wounded and depressed brigade taking offence.

The Carlo lover has spoken. Obviously meant the two competition he was talking about. So obnoxious at times. What did I say that was obnoxious?

Bit late for that, like. They lifted a trophy 2 weeks back.

Players like Alonso not up to this anymore, like. 2 games in 3 days. Anyway, come on Atletico. They deserve the title.

They sacked Hughton. They deserve this. Hope they never comve back up. the mistake was not sacking him a lot sooner than they did This is true, mind. He should've gone 6 months ago.

No need for that You're right. Apologies. Fucking fed up of nonsense from our own fans, though. It's tough hating the owner, the MD, the manager, most of the players and a massive percentage of the fans. There's barely owt left. Hate leads to the dark side, Ronaldo. When it's sufficiently provoked it just means I don't have to check for a pair of bollocks, W. See your point, though. I don't want to hate, but there's no alternative.

Another cretin. Quality.

I think I'd just stop watching football.

Moyes or Hitzfeld. Both out of our league.

They're virtually all on Pardew's side, by the sounds of it. Well have to appear that way if they want to play... I am sure the players have as much hope as we do that Ashley would sack Pardew. Then they should fucking do something about it like proper professionals would. Even that lot down the road refused to go past September with an incompetent hurting their careers.

Indeed.

I'm really surprised that people would put extra embarrassment for Liverpool over additional pressure on Pardew, like.

I laughed at this.

I've been a fan of Carrick for years but he's been on the way down for a while now. A Fletcher and Carrick CM isn't good enough for any side in the top half of the league, let alone Manchester United.

He's not as good as Hatem, but he's much better than poor. I see him as a much more talented, quicker version of the old Jonas with plenty of time to develop end product.
