Ronaldo

By any chance was he actually 15 when he came over from Nigeria? He looks like he should've retired a while ago.

You are a simpleton. No need for that, as much as I disagree with it.

Not moreso than Beardsley, man.

On his chest, yes; with his feet, no.

Gosling a tad too British?

Best, certainly; Shola, not really. why?

Very good in the air today. He hates having the ball, though.

Van Persie has scored. 0-1.

8 clean sheets from 21 games.

This isn't the full story. I'm guessing you know that already though. Just the important stuff.

Played very well in the second half especially.

Looked off the pace in the first 20 minutes but played very well after that.

He can't run, at all.

sad b****** You what?

Brought the ball down so well today.

Ben Arfa not a 6.5. He was on par with Jonas at least. Leon not an 8 - he had 2 or three good moments and of course scored, but there was the moment when HBA sent a fine through ball to him and he just f**ked it up - didn't shoot, nor passed to Strolla. 7 at max. Aye, right. I wonder who you signed up for.

6th place with a squad laced with bargain basement Championship rubbish and he gets criticised for not playing pretty enough football. Pathetic.

Piss off, man.

He did OK.

Well done Ronaldo. But first time hes shown it ever. So you must be a weirdo.. Well done a lot of people, Ronaldo's been more vocal though. I understood the decision to drop him with Ba on fire and his form dipping and Pardew opting just 1 up front. But he's always had great control all around - foot,chest and head - and a good shot. Really hope it restores his confidence and he'll go on another early season tear. Everyone on this forum knows he will get his fair share of goals. But we are talking about a level of skill only Ronaldo believed this guy to have. I said he has 'lovely skill'.

Guthrie, man.

What's going on?

Ryan Taylor.
