Ronaldo

About as predictable as needing a p*ss in the morning. Those around him and those idiots who cheered him like a god when he voiced his delusions on Piers Morgan last year should hang their heads in shame. The man should've been imprisoned or sectioned a long time ago for his own good and I've been saying it on here for years.

More like Duncan Ferguson.

Urgh.

Waste of DNA.

Hope he meant it.

IF he can stay fit he'd been the one CB I'd start every game tbh.

When Hatem and Tiote get back it won't be an issue anymore. Credit where it's due he had a decent first 45 today and finished well.

We should be fucking dynamite away from home with that lineup plus Ben Arfa, like.

Just seen this. Get in!

2 games to score more than Tiote has in 3 seasons. What a signing.

Amazing what you can do when you find the right shape pieces for the puzzle. Great football, effort and win.

Wondergoals my arse, man. Both goals should've been prevented.

Schmeichal Irwin Adams Ferdinand Cole Scholes Keane Ronaldo Shearer Drogba Henry

Ronaldo's still the best attacking player the league has ever seen imo.

No getting away from it. Schmichael has an embarrasingly large lead on the 2nd best. In fact, there ISN'T a second best ! VDS.

Ronaldo doesn't but Scholes and Schmeichel do i agree. Nobody comes close to him out wide, except Giggs and Laurent.

Ronaldo, Scholes and Schmeichal have to be there, like.

Remember Mikel playing against Valencia away in 2008 and looking absolutely quality. Pure midfield dominance.

Out of interest, what will your thoughts be on Pardew if he starts Jonas again? I remember you saying a while back that it was an issue for you. Lost all faith in Pardew tbh mate. Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he starts him.

Sorry, like, but there's no way even our best Xl is better than Chelsea's there.

Do you watch enough German football to make that call, by the way? For whatever reason Ballack looked awful during his last 2 seasons at Chelsea.

Every excuse under the sun has been made about him. I know he's a fantastic guy but it amazes me how much he gets away with.

Bobby put a lot of emphasis on energy and pace. I don't know the stats from that season but I'll bet we won a lot of points away from home. Dyer, Bellamy and Robert used to cut teams apart on the break. Add that to Speed and Shearer's threat from set pieces with some craft from Solano and we had a pretty potent mix. I said this a while back, but that front 6 is my 'template' for building a good side and probably always will be. Such a fantastic, functional and exciting balance. you'd chose that as your template over some of wengers arsenal teams and countless ferguson manyoo teams that had everything bobby's team had and more? Yes, given our budget.

Is the truth. He benefits from his own ineptitude, much like Alan Smith did at times.

So he pissing should. Graft is the only thing he brings to the team. Lets praise Tim Krul for diving at the odd ball while we're at it.
