Ronaldo

That's not fair to Ronaldo, that is a true statement, but his statement is absolutely ridiculous. He's comparing a guy who's had very good spells to a guy who was the worlds absolute best for two years. Actually he isn't even comparing, he's suggesting Bale is better. Not really, I'd rather sign the Bale of now than the Kaka of 2009-present. He's flopped at Madrid because you need to organise your side around him. The same isn't true of Bale. He'll look absolute quality whatever you tell him to do because he's physically unstoppable. Kaka was going downhill physically just before he went to RM. He wasn't the same player anymore. ABSOLUTELY class before that. Completely agree, and that was my point. He was on the way down, Bale's on the way up.

Only waiting for Ronaldo to walk in and say it's better than what we have... To be fair, Carlton Cole would be our 2nd best striker.

There you go again. I've said time and time again that the tactics, delivery, and lack of willing and able attackers of the ball are to blame for that stat. To spell it out for you, I think the management and the players are both utterly shit in this area. Honestly, man. Thick as mince.

True story. Full circle and beyond.

Given that our last game is Arsenal we absolutely have to go for it against QPR. Probably a blessing.

:lol: Ruel Fox's entire family, more like.

I think 2 draws keeps us up.

Not really when we see it every single game. If you've got anything at all to defend what you said about the poor set pieces having nothing to do with personnel, let's hear it. Try to make it concise because enough of these threads in trouble because of petty rubbish.

I didn't say that at all, tbh.

Yep, based on what you've said.

This ref, man. Everton have been robbed.

Ferguson's looked a good player to me just about every time he's been on the pitch bar a couple of edgy games out of position.

West Brom want burning to the ground if they lose against Norwich too. Useless cunts.

It's madness in this thread. Madness is claiming the players have no culpability, like you do in every thread. :lol: Honestly. I haven't once done that. But you bury your head in the sand and throw wild assertions around if you like brother Eh? For example, you claimed the 'personnel' had absolutely nothing to do with the deficiencies in our set pieces. Do you think Pardew, as useless as he is, is telling Cabaye to hit the first man and the players in the box to close their eyes, jump 3 inches off the ground and wince?

In the last decade it's Lampard, no argument. Overall, Scholes has to get the nod. What a player.

He might pretend to be nails but in reality a strong puff of wind would take him out.

Bale would be a success at any club in the world. We're not talking about Kaka or di Maria here. We're talking about a truly great player who looks better and better all the time.

Sammy wouldn't have improved a thing, man.

Yes.

Cabaye is overrated. We care rapidly finding why all these players we get on cheap are cheap tbh.

Well that tends to be how the successful teams play ( outside the Championshit) so it's not that surprising. All of the successful teams have physical qualities that compound the the technical ones.

Think there's room for him even with a good manager. Just because Rodgers says you can't build a fashionable team with him in doesn't make it true. Looked pacey today as well. Fuck being fashionable anyway. A team that's tough to break down and scores goals would do just fine. Then you can start to gradually phase better players in.
