Ronaldo

Sounds like him being back for the start of next season will be a positive. Honestly.

Here, all I could think after that Luiz decision was, "Ronaldo off the internet said he's the best ref in the league". Your fault Ronny More likely to be Interpolic's fault for posting all that rubbish about Lovenkrands.

You guys are smart keeping the criticism out of the HBA thread. Fair play.

2006 would like its insult back.

Irish to the core.

Especially with his record. I can't remember the last time Taylor played 15 or so games without knacking himself.

Right.

Mouthwatering.

Have we not realised that Ba needs a strike partner yet? It's only been 3 games in which we've failed to score from open play.

We did play a top team today, we played a team that were on 1 point less than us and one place below us before kick-off. Before kick-off we were 4th and they were 5th and that's on form so far this season. Where they are or aren't by January is irrelevant to how they've played so far this season. If you think Chelsea have looked like a top team recently you simply haven't been watching the matches. Arsenal put 5 past them; defensive Livepool put 4 past them at Stamford Bridge in 2 games; QPR beat them; Man U demolished them; in europe they've been absolutely all over the place. They aren't a top team anymore. But they still have some top players capable of bumming our bad ones. They are very capable of beating any of the top sides barring City as well. Poor form doesn't make them finished by any means. Stop acting as if they are on a par with Villa, they are still clearly a class above. They're the 6th best team in the league in my view. Sad state if we can't aim to get a result against such a team at home. Everything about this post is wrong. What's wrong about it? Do you think we should be aiming to get beat at home?

He had a right go at Ryan Taylor today. Good.

Grass Roots - I'd Wait a Million Years

Norwich will fucking smash that defence.

What a tool.

He was solid, especially in the second half.

The Ian W bandwagon is empty, mate. None of us were happy with that abysmal window, or the one before that......

Not so confident then? I wouldn't offer to drink piss if the sky turned orange. Find me some odds and we'll talk.

No.

His injury record has been appalling since he gained a bit of bulk. It'll probably get worse as he gets older sadly.

Average? His passing makes Alan Smith look average.

Guthrie played well. Undroppable after his last 4 performances.

He's a big lad so he's got that advantage over perch if nothing else Perch did OK today.

Get me some odds.
