Ronaldo

He had a rest, and came back worse. Far too many people incapable of admitting that he's never consistently delivered for us and has been in steady decline since 2008.

Awful footballer happy to shake his head and blame others for his shortcomings. Happy to see him gone as soon as possible.

Urgh.

He's a top ref, to be fair. Gets a lot of daft stick on here.

Reminded me of Blackburn away last season. Although that was probably worse because it was the whole 90 mins. Not nearly as much at stake then, like.

Emotionally drained after that, like. My girlfriend nearly stormed out of the house three times during it because of 'scary erratic outbursts'. After the whistle I just wanted to go and lie down.

Dave Bassett seems to think Sissoko is Xisco on Football First.

by that logic what did the reading game prove ? That he'll get on the end of chances, and get goals.

No words for how much I love him.

I actually think tonight was average for this season. He's got away with murder for ages imo.

I thought Santon played well.

Too many players are forced to work harder because of the shortcoming of others, and by 75 minutes or so they're done.

He's the absolute fucking worst.

Was Pardew defintely planning to drop him?

He's gonna help us go down again at this rate, like. Needs to be banished.

What does this guy drink, man?

We'd be better if Jonas got sent off.

Superb player when not in a 4-4-2.

^^^ posted whilst 2-0 up, having played some superb football Playing with 10 men with jonas on the pitch...... Yeah that's why he played a key factor in the second goal. He's been even worse than normal, man.

Someone at the game want to tell this lot to stop giving it to Jonas?

Taylor's a good defender and Perch is the best DM we have with Tiote away. I thought Anita was a DM? He is, just not in the traditional sense. Still a better passer and more positionally aware than Perch. But he can't deliver that overrated bone-crunching tackle, so he takes the bench. A DM is responsible for protecting the back 4. That isn't Anita in a million years in the PL.

Why exactly? He's a similar player to Diarra and Makelele, who played well in the position. He's not a bit like either of them, to be fair.

Taylor's a good defender and Perch is the best only DM we have with Tiote away. f*** off, where do you think Anita played for Ajax? Hint: it's not the dynamic all action midfielder Pardew has tried to turn him into Anita's not a DM.
