Ronaldo

Simpson and Jonas can't play football because of our gameplan?

What? :lol: Woodgate I know he was referring to Woodgate. So why your incredulity? Because it's sheer lunacy that he's being compared to Woodgate. Clearly.

Too many players continue to let us down. We've got a good result today and Pardew deserves credit.

HTT's quickly becoming a self-parody.

Absolute rock today. If only his body could stand up to a full season.

Captains are as liable as any to do that.

Never misses a chance.

Grafted his bollocks off today to be fair to him. Just not good enough with the ball at his feet, unfortunately.

You mean get relegated again? No thanks.

We're going nowhere fast if he's still a key player. Obviously he can be useful in certain games.

I think we'll get a draw.

He's not much better than Downing, to be fair.

I'd start Taylor from those we have.

Neither him nor Taylor should be starting, tbh.

I don't think anyone's 'mocking' him for aiming for 4th, that's what we should be aiming for - but performances will have to improve drastically to get us anywhere near and maybe he'd be better keeping quiet about Champions League prospects until they do. If it was me, I wouldn't dream of saying those things before a trip to Anfield for a start, asking for egg on your face. Yeah. Timing's completely off.

Yeah. In terms of actually 'making it count' Jose was underwhelming at best.

Santos is a joke, but a funny one.

As much as his insistence on always playing centrally has hurt us, in that role this season he's been feeding on scraps and has 7 league goals. Got to stay.

Ba hasn't gone backwards , the other 2 are debatable. There's no debate. Cabaye and Tiote aren't playing well.

Which results in Europe? They've been good (and well deserved) considering the teams put out.

Keepers get far too much credit for saves in general. It's not difficult to dive and knock a mid-height ball around the post when it's hit from 25 yards.

Because Harper does the basics better.

Why does this rubbish only seem to surface in the autumn?
