Ronaldo

Quite incredible what happens when bad footballers start getting old.

He isn't worse than Alan Smith or Amdy Faye, like.

Good idea but surely a lower ball so he can get a boot onto it instead of his head, canny distance to get header in. He nearly scores every time we do it, man.

Viduka was as good imo. No chance. And Viduka was bloody brilliant at it.

He was never up to it out wide, either.

Helps that neither one of them is Cheick Tiote or Jonas Gutierrez.

The most depressing thing is that when Cabaye comes back, Jonas'll still be in the team with Anita on the bench.

You must be mistaking him for Anita.

Or we could just play with the system that's worked in practice.

Which chances are these?

Bobby was past his best by that point but we could've achieved something with Kluivert and Bellamy up front like he wanted it.

In our shirt I can't think of too many better. That goal on his full debut against Villa, man. Class.

Great player who should've signed off his career in style at NUFC. Oozed class.

Banned from driving? Scum.

I'm content too, but I don't think you can use pedestrian-paced Europa games against pretty poor teams to suggest the squad players are good enough to fill the gaps in the league. I've been pretty disappointed with some of them, actually.

We've defended well for the most part, mostly due to having senior players back there and Bigirimana doing well. 7 goals in 6 games against those teams is poor, whichever way you look at it. I do admit the games have been pretty fun to watch because of the unpredictability.

I've never said that it wasn't a factor that I can remember. Probably not.

The main reason for us being where we are in the league has nothing to do with our squad size as far as I'm concerned. We've tried to play a style of football which has us where we are. Cleverly worded. You're admitting that it's a factor, anyway.

Course it is.

Eh? He's 51.

Not the most likeable guy in football but there's far worse than him.

Maybe to bring him on in circumstances like he did against Blackburn when we were coasting at 3-1?

Parky and his daft misrepresentations, gotta love him.

Indeed.

For the record I've said before that Ba's the best all round striker we've had since 96-97 Shearer. I just don't think he's the right man to build the attack around for various reasons.
