Ronaldo

Until Ferguson took the title back and Mourinho was sacked a few months later.

I was convinced his career was over forever.

Fucking hate shit like this. Don't dismiss it: this nonsense permeates the whole setup and ruins morale.

At worst it's greed, at best poor decision making. Funnily enough I think Drogba suffered from it too at times, but he obviously had more to his game to make up for it. Namely that he had the most assists in the PL 2 years running.

don't believe this for a second myself, if we signed debuchy and douglas on 1st january i don't think it'd change his approach one iota I don't see why not, mate. There's being cautious and there's pissing points away.

Or someone that has more interest in scoring than winning. Not saying Ba isn't one but natural goalscorers don't always have to shoot.

Ashley owns the club. He has the final call, obviously.

He's like his brother when it comes to effort in his own half.

De Gea should be nailed to the wall by his bollocks. Sunday league keeping, that.

Or he's got excellent stamina.

Yeah. I love him too. He feels like a true NUFC player for some reason, much like Robert instantly did.

Impact sub is probably our best bet for Obertan, but the lad doesn't tire to be fair to him so he's easily capable of being as effective starting if we need him.

Negative b******. Valid points without even a hint of bias.

We need someone who can drive us forward from that area. It's not going to be Cabaye, Tiote, Jonas or Anita.

The rest of our midfielders all graft, to be fair, so we can get away with that.

He's the most natural goalscorer I've seen in our colours for decades. Hate seeing him so wasted.

Means we don't have to see Willo's biannual Arsenal gang rape.

I think Marveaux's better suited to playing in midfield.

I think he's one of the players in the squad (HBA, Cabaye, Cisse) that most benefits from 4-3-3. Obviously if Ba goes he needs to be replaced with a versatile attacker but I wouldn't be against seeing Obertan and Hatem either side of Papiss, especially away from home.

He has a couple of outstanding attributes and has used them to good effect in the last couple of games. Good on him.

I don't take much at all from this game, to be honest. I think we're continuing to improve slightly but we're learning nothing new about this lot. The stars aligned for us today with their defence and keeper all over the shop and us getting lucky with the absence to an extent of the useless Gutierrez and utter liability that is Tiote. Man U let you play football and today we had more footballers in the side than we've had in a long, long time - and it showed from the first whistle. Just so sad that the same rubbish have treaded water for so long and continue to hold us back. If I played alongside Simpson with his constant shitness, headshaking and muttering under his breath I'd have put him in intensive care 6 times this season. I don't know how Colo keeps his cool, I sincerely don't. Wouldn't blame him one bit if he handed in a transfer request on Feb 1st when Simpson isn't replaced for the 7th consecutive window.

Debuchy's a footballer: instant significant improvement. Hughton, Pardew and the cunts above want dragging over hot coals for allowing him to be a guaranteed started for 3 and a half years.

Cisse for Sammy was daft and I thought it at the time. Ba had to go off, he doesn't have the legs to play 3 halves in a week, let alone 3 full games.

Yeah, draw would've been a fair result. Unfortunately most of the players in our shirt deserved to win, and if I was them I'd be completely fed up right now.

Williamson is just as bad. Williamson is shit but not as bad as this cunt.
