Ronaldo

Bardsley's decent.

That and the fact he's never had the mobility or instinct to be a PL striker.

They will be, though. Cabaye will either fuck them up or nobody will attack the ball as per.

Based on his performances for a substantial time now, why would anyone? He needs a manager who understands his limitations. He's a bad footballer. Pardew's the best thing for him.

Another dreadful aspect of our play that hasn't been addressed by player investment, and probably won't be.

4-2-4 ftw. No Jonas or Tiote ever again.

Cisse, Gomis, Remy and Gouffran.

I think I would rather have Susan Boyle as manager than Pardew, at least she might learn from her mistakes. She might even finish a couple of points shy of a champions league place by COMPLETE ACCIDENT. We would've needed another 6 points, actually. Anyway, worse managers than Pardew have finished 5th. The rest of his career probably wasn't a complete accident.

Even if he hasn't scored or created many goals he was a decent player for a couple of seasons who now is getting past it. He's not a RB so it's laughable to single that out. For the money we paid for him I fail to see how acquiring him was a mistake on a level that we analyse who recommended to sign him.

Quite incredible. Fantastic gesture. The atmosphere was something else the night I was there for the 2-3, like. Even at 0-2.

He's also a fucking awesome striker of the ball, like.

I think Bale's pretty much as good as they say, but yes, it's tiresome.

Against Pacos he almost cost us two goals, and had time on the ball and still managed to be shite on it. In the PL he doesn't have that.

He wasn't great in The Championship, either. 4 goals in 40 games or so, 2 of which big deflections. Same old rubbish. Even made Perch look like a good RB.

People still wistfully looking at sides that include Tiote? I don't get it.

There's usually no target in the first place, let alone a 'someone else' mate.

Well, I've only seen Gomis a couple of times properly but he didn't strike me as being particularly quick. I'll defer to the experts.

My video dat. Yeah I just saw at the end. People shouldn't watch it, you'll sort of want him to stay Remind yourselves that it represents the sum total of what he's done in 13 years as a well paid PL footballer and you won't.

No, we'd be better off with proven players.

Bent has the pace and PL experience to do it, though.

Yeah. I don't really see where Gomis fits in if Cisse stays.

Banned.

If you lived in a city in which a large portion of the inhabitants chant pro-IRA songs you'd want to distance yourself from it too.

Aye. Gouffran's a square peg in a round hole in the LW spot.

He never really takes players on.
