Ronaldo

He was absolutely dreadful, man. Didn't even bother for 2 of the goals while Sturridge literally ran right past him. Worse defensive performance I've seen in a toon shirt.

Haidara was by far the worst player on the pitch in that game. The other 3 were poor, don't get me wrong.

Anita in for Tiote and that's probably the best side.

He's going to get buggered by just about every top striker he'll play against this season. Still a better option than Williamson and MYM, though.

Is he really better than Debuchy? There isn't much evidence of that IMO. What a load of tosh.

Lampard? Eh?

Steady on. To be fair we do mostly play on the deck. We're just pretty rubbish at it.

I am actually intrigued by this. Was Shola any good because I just can't imagine him being good at any level. Don't be ridiculous.

How about we just play our best combination.

Pressed them with 3 defensive midfielders, how could that possibly go wrong?

I'm not bothered what happens. I just want the cunt out.

I don't think he said that the expectations are high. Read the article, perhaps?

Who suggested otherwise? Le Tissier's talent should be discussed on the same level as Bergkamp's. Instead he's remembered for being a lazy bloke who never made it for England while scoring a few incredible goals that kept Southampton from going down. Real waste.

He was good in Ultimate Force, to be fair.

Sound more like a purple patch than his peak, that, like.

Probably thinking how funny it was that he'd not trained all week and yet was still picked and scoring. Wish his talent had gone to someone else.

Shirts off, 10 stone soaked through challenging men to a fight 100 yards away. Little bastards.

I've never heard anyone say that. Must be the knobheads you hang round with. The younger fans are generally a bunch of arseholes.

What?

What a load of utter fucking crap. Racist, ffs.

Only three sides in the league conceded more goals than us last season. Consider the defenders and keeper we had at our disposal and the fact at no point did we try to play genuinely attacking football. It pretty clearly points to the manager being fucking awful at his job.

Of all the countries you could've used, Austria? Apart from that a fucking great post.

And the bigger picture is a manager who by his own admission gets his system wrong in the vast majority of games leading to shambolic result after shambolic result fits your definition of average? OK.

Scapegoated.
