Ronaldo

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.

Midfield's so easy to play through, man.

Jonas, man.

Speculation, then. It doesn't jutify abusing our manager, who happens to have done a bloody good job. If he doesn't actually have a reason, and genuinely believes this is the best way to set out with the players available, the criticism is more justified. He is a good manager, but we have the potential to achieve something special here, and prioritising industry over quality will not see us accomplish this goal. I don't have a problem with critcism.

He does. But he isn't Ben Arfa, or foreign, so that makes him s***. Stop it. Your talk about Best is sickening. And he is a foreigner as hes from Ireland No he's not.

He does. But he isn't Ben Arfa, or foreign, so that makes him shit.

Where the hell did 3 own goals come from? Jones, Agger, Heitinga? Agger's went down as an own goal? There's no justice.
