Ronaldo

To the tune of "Noel, noel, born is the king of Israel", I forlornly attempted to get the hordes to sing, "Ruel, Ruel, Ruel, Ruel. Keegan's the King of Newcastle!" at Ruel's debut at Selhurst Park circa '94. I wasn't 12 though, I was nigh on 26. I was there that day. Was only 7, so only remember the result (4-2) and the fact I was introduced to a laundry list of new profanity, most of which was directed at Mike Hooper.

Shame, like, I'm sure Kanji longs to be the mate of some calling himself Deputy Dawg UK.

I still don't know why Arsenal wanted him.

We've hamstrung ourselves for the last 5 years by starting a player out wide who creates very little. You'd think folk would learn. Gouffran should be in the middle or on the bench with everyone fit.

Exactly.

Arrogance is fine. Being totally oblivious to your own fallibility is quite another.

He's certainly a natural leader and he doesn't seem to think the sun shines out of his arse. Could be a very fine manager. Not that that means shit. It does when it prevents young managers from having a modicum of humility and learning from their mistakes. Silly post, York.

Scored in one, too. In fact, he can't remember if he scored 1 or a hat trick that day.

He's certainly a natural leader and he doesn't seem to think the sun shines out of his arse. Could be a very fine manager.

He's not as fast as Remy, like. Certainly doesn't use his pace to anything like the same effectiveness.

That's something I actually agree with. He shows far more leadership in defence than anyone else.

If that was excellent then fuck knows what standards you expect from the main CB, like.

Don't get me wrong, he'll be a very good defender in the Carvalho mould in the future, but we needed a different type of CB, and one who'd be ready for the PL.

The defending for Madrid's late goals, man.

Carlo.

Madrid.

Brilliant goal.

Taylor should be back for Sunderland. It's a fucking joke this guy's actually playing first team football again. Well fucking done to whoever scouted MPM and Kinnear for fucking up the Douglas deal.

Are you insane brah?

I'd rather we have a more complete striker than bent tbh. Bent and cisse far too similar Except Bent's been getting goals this season after a hell of a lot on here (if not the majority) were glad we didn't sign him.

Hit it with your right, dickhead.

I do like Gouffran but as if he was the contingency for not getting this guy.
