Think they'll win the league or finish 2nd. Depends on how quickly Pellegrini - who I think is brilliant - grasps the PL.

More to do with having the best/second best player in the world.

We haven't at all. Unless you're happy with no creativity, no goals and huge suceptibility to teams willing and able to press high up the park.

Be doing ourselves a huge favour if we replaced Colo with a defender capable of 5 goals a season.

He's far better than those two, like. Lovenkrands was abhorrent footballer in the PL. The lack of goal threat is digsuting, though. And although he got the goal that probably kept us up he's hardly a remedy. Criminal that we lost our main goal threat in January and tried to replace him with cheap players while no track record of consistently hitting the back of the net.

He's even less of a no.10 than Sissoko, to be fair.

There weren't any opportunities, though. You can't have two players up front with little to no creativity, especially in a team severely lacking creativity in the midfield.

Which wasn't quite true, like. But fair play to him for dissenting from the idiots who thought his incompetence took us down in spite of the brilliance of Owen and Butt.

Cheers, Dennis. Useless cunt almost heavily 'contributed' to us going down twice.

Goes far beyond this season, too. His stats since joining are a joke.

Bellamy mostly caused problems because he'd beat players with pace and skill and he'd create. Gouffran as much as I wanted him to be of that ilk just isn't. He's a tidy, tenacious and quick decent finisher. He's not the answer to getting the best out of Cisse and never will be.

Pardew should be back up ladders and scrubbing toilets. One of the stupidest things you'll ever read from a manager.

30 years isn't enough to learn how to strike a ball, like. A few weeks rest might do the trick, though.

No way, I dislike Pardew beyond what's reasonable, but Souness destroyed us. There's not a team in Europe that Souness couldn't destroy given 2 or 3 seasons. Negligent cunt.

He's been critical of all three of the cunts chiefly responsible for this mess.

Not particularly good at anything is closer to the truth.

Yes.

Aye, OK. And Mourinho would turn Perch into Zidane.

Great midfielders have technical attributes that Tiote can't come near, man.

Nobody has a clue about our players, even the likes of Keegan and Shearer who you'd expect to follow us.

Thick as shit but still the best defender at the club if Colo leaves.

I remember watching it over and over in my fucking student flat in Boro telling every cunt who'd listen that Owen and Luque up front would have us finishing 4th.

By contrast Albert Luque's YT vid looked like an amalgamation of Maradona and Cantona.

In high heels.
