Ronaldo

Good enough for Barrack Obama to use, mind.

In his first 2 seasons I’m sure they scored the same amount. Henry and RVN. Either way, Cole was literally not better at anything.

They were up against an elite Arsenal and elite Chelsea under JM.

How was RVN more limited than Cole? What was Cole better at?

RvN went past people for PSV and United mind. Not often, but that wasn’t how he was most effective. He’s about as good as I’ve seen at the one touch and then finish.

He left 4 years before that game, so quite possibly.

I hope to God I’m wrong but I think he’ll play Longstaff.

That and he was simply not physically imposing enough to defend the same way he had in France. He had some good games for us too, to be fair to him.

Agree on Smith - nobody comes close in fact. Worst performance I’ve seen is a tough one. Although Smith against Blackpool (0-2) is one and there was a game in the Championship under Rafa where Vernon Anita’s only contribution in an entire half of football was 9 instances of giving the ball away. Suppose it only really stands out if it gets punished a la Cacapa in that Pompey game. Newcastle 0-6 Liverpool is a team collective that stands out a mile. I won’t forgive certain hero worshiped players who were gutless in that game.

Ruddy has an England cap I think. Recall him.

ASM more talented that Robert is a bit of a mental take mind. You’ve basically got to write ASM off as the laziest cunt on the planet for that to hold water.

ON is / was a top poster, always has been, and I hope he comes back.

Wilson doesn’t train.

Robert Ginola Hatem ASM In that order, every time. No arguments.

Nah, he’s a frontman. Just needs the ball playing to his feet. 25 goals last season up top alone.

Lascelles surely has played his last game for us? Hopefully anyway.

Brilliant, totally ties in with what I overheard at Fratelli. Pardew played Williamson instead for that vital QPR game because ‘Stevie’s an idiot and he loves the club too much’.

I don’t think Wilson’s the player he was. How could he be?

Wilson isn’t half as good at making something happen with the ball played to his feet, which is what we want, surely? Feel like it’s futile even discussing Wilson at this point. He’s still here because no one wants a player who is injured more than fit.

Marveaux ffs. Keegan had no time for gutless semi-talented footballers like that.

All the great players we’ve had and you’d choose him, really? Hatem was an immensely talented lad obvs.

Good job his backup isn’t still that clown who cost us 4th place last season.

Who would sign Longstaff?

To be fair even the wealthiest more rural areas of round here tend to vote Labour - even Alty and Sale West did this time. And tbf Man U fans from Manchester are generally absolutely sound. I don’t remember SBR ever being booed so that’s horseshit.

That collar requires a Windsor. Nicked his shoes from Sean Penn’s character in I am Sam too.
