Ronaldo

He certainly managed it with Best in the team.

That version of Carroll - the one that scored the winner against Arsenal - could probably play alongside any intelligent forward.

Depends which Carroll you're talking about.

From a defensive perspective (if that's what you mean) Shola is about as much use as Alan Smith would be on the wing.

I think Ba's more effective ghosting into the box. Ben Arfa being there places far too much focus on him. We need someone who can play higher up the park than Ba, and do the donkey work when necessary. Best generally makes a good fist of this, plus he's far more of a goalscoring threat than HBA.

Aye. There aren't many attacking players in the league comparable to Shaun Wright-Phillips.

People are conflicted. They want him in the team but at the same time it's obvious he's less suited to that role than a striker who'll allow Ba to play his natural game.

I'm sure last week I heard Darren Gough say he thought this 'new' Man Utd team would be better equipped to beat Barca in this year's CL.

Fuck that. Was there for a month in late summer - early autumn. Coming back in March.

I predicted they'd win the league this year and once admitted that I like Mancini. That's as complimentary as I've ever been about them.

Carroll fucked off?

Think he means physically bullied.

Fair play to Napoli, like. Such poetic justice in them qualifying at the expense of City. A real football club in every sense, in contrast with those c***s.

Who said that? Man United fans the world over, surely you've heard the song? Like I'd listen to anything those cunts come out with.

Who said that?

"We're not struggling." Hope the horrible old cunt chokes on it.

Definitely. What did he say this time? Forgot actually, something pro-Man U. Tyldesley is clearly devastated that Man U are out. He said a Hail Mary as United lined up a set-piece.

Southgate with the worst bit of punditry I've ever heard.

Clive's a disgrace.

SCUM OUT! GET THE FUCK IN!!!

Why don't you go and get it off him?

Get the fuck in Napoli!

GET IN NAPOLI!

Shite (wink wink).

That was a f***ing great finish.
