Ronaldo

Decent cover, no doubt. Can't help thinking his horrible face brings the squad morale down.

Not without the other two attributes it doesn't. A good penalty taker (and every PL club has one) will be able to pretty much put the ball wherever he wants.

Cech looks like he's about to go swimming with sharks.

Absolute rubbish.

Size, agility and intelligence saves penalties. Krul will learn to save them in time.

Shearer and Robert were good pals off the pitch. They used to be spotted quite regularly together in Darras.

Bizarre situation, period. There's something going on that we don't know about, but what's new there?

I'm not Dave's biggest fan but he's one hell of a poster compared to Wullie.

Man United have a terrible set of centre mids for a club of their stature. He'd walk into that team. Bullshit.

Very true.

If he goes to Chelsea he'll sit on the bench. I'm pretty convinced he won't, though.

It's the deliberation of the action that should be judged, not the deliberation of the consequence.

Another one. Oh, good.

Shouldn't have gone to Chelsea. Mourinho, to an extent, ruined him. Aye. In his younger days, he was kind of like Hoddle, as in the fact those over here dubbed him a luxury player, whereas if he played on the continent he would have had a team built around him. Which continent would that be? I always felt he missed something.

Watch their matches THIS season. Last season I would agree with you. There are doubts about Tiote's passing ability, which I would give you that. I've seen all but one of their matches this season, thanks. They're missing a CB and a CF; in midfield they've looked very good. Lampard, Mata, Ramires, Meireles and Essien are all better players.

Incredible. You all need help.

I'm no fan of Simpson but he's looked pretty good for the last 4 games.

Chelsea don't need Tiote, man. They can put out a midfield 3 that he wouldn't get anywhere near.

What a load of shite. The source is no surprise.

"It's Austria, Austria!" Love that ep.

This, perfectly. Carly Simon - Nobody Does It Better Right?

Oh, I'll admit I only saw it as a stand alone post. Can I assume it was laced in sarcasm? There's really no comparison between the two situations. Our striking partnership consists of two players who've both been playing well. The defence consists of four players, one of which has been shown to be abysmal over the years as well as within the current side. Does Best make Ba's job easier? Yes. Does Raylor make Jonas and Coloccini's job easier? Does he blithering f***.

No chance. Not for a good few years anyway.

Shearer makes Al Gore look like a livewire.
