Ronaldo

It does. It's good that we can admit it though.

I think Cahill's better. He's a far better partner for Terry anyway.

Not Tiote. Santon was strongly linked at least 4 weeks before he was signed, too.

As if you'd play Ox over Walcott, man.

Would that position not be perfect for Gameiro though?

Bloody hope not.

He's a positive, positive presence in the dressing room, no doubts about it. And as I said, I didn't really want him to leave. 30 goals is OK. That was his job remember, don't pretend it's some massive achievement. Carroll got 33 for us in his entire time here. Martins and Owen scored similar amounts too. Considering he only scored 1 penalty, 30 in 88 for an immobile midfielder is more than OK. Owen's a useless c***, so why you're bringing him up I don't know. Martins was injured and inconsistent so the same goes for him. Carroll was only really a nailed-on starter for 13 months, so his record stands up, especially when his other attributes are factored in. Bad, bad footballer who's good at getting a goal every 3 or 4 games. Bolton knew it, we knew it, West Ham will know it soon.

It's not exactly Corona, but Kronenbourg is quite lovely. Always pisses me off when people point out that fact that it's too expensive. It's better, what the f*** do they expect?

Absolutely. Natural goalscorers who have a positive impact on the rest of the squad don't come along too often. Didn't want him starting too often, of course.

There's a big black guy I spar with. He hits like a fucking mule but the second you get 'overly agressive' with him he goes beserk and has more than once complained to the trainer after the timer. I associate him 100% with Baba, and vice versa. I almost called him Baba last month.

Yeah, except the beers supplied at anything organised like that are usually pisswater like Carling, Carlsberg or Stella. Such an unhappy man you are Ronaldo .. are you still upset that Ronaldo didnt sign for us back in the summer of 2006? I'm the happiest guy in the world. I just don't like the above.

Given the fact he couldn't pass, tackle or run, the only justification for keeping him on the pitch was his goals. When the goals dried up at Bolton they got rid, and with good reason.

I could do with you in another thread, Baba.

I think Barton kicking people from behind off the ball to take players 'with him' is worse than anything Keane did. And that's just on the pitch. ,

We went from 12th to 5th thanks to a fantastic team performance and some individuals performances from Ben Arfa, Cissé, Ba etc. Nolan did a great job for us, was a leader and scored goals during his last 2 seasons - he left and we replaced him with a better player. That's all. Just ridiculous to say it was the best replacement of the last 10 years Woodgate replaced Marcelino for example... No he didn't. And we went from 4th to 3rd/5th with Woodgate. We're talking about an actual impact on the club here.

Keane did 99% of his talking on the pitch as one of the best midfielders the PL will ever see. Barton's the opposite.

Parker doesn't half get some undue nonsense on here. Not a huge fan but he played well for us and has had a good season.

Our former keeping coach Simon Smith (sat behind Bobby, never celebrated our goals) was in the Trafford Centre in an England tracksuit today along with loads of youngish lads in the same kit.

Bobby called it: "This man will ruin our game."

I worry about some of you, some of the time. Short memories.

Who else would it be?

I reckon she said yes.

The idea of Barry nailed on to start makes me gip.
