One cost close to nothing and the other would be an absolute overpriced rip off. I'd take Robbie thank you, let the a*** have Theo for however much they're paying for him

Also when he said it in the interview, he lowered his voice when he said it, like he tried to brush over it quickly coz he's f***ing ashamed of it Well in lad

Past season or so, he's always played deeper and have linked up play extremely well from my memory, some of his passes and flicks up field were very Moro-sque (When Moro was at his peak that is) He won't just be a poacher, he has more to offer than just his goals nowadays.

Must be part of Robbie's cunning plan, deliberately miss the pen against Boro so he won't be Cup tied when he comes back

FFS, I slept over here at Aus last night knowing it might happen yesterday, then I woke up today and bang he's signed Breakfast hadn't taste so good for a while

Why is there any need to use rhetorical questions like that when a player's criticised? That is creating racism and it's quite frankly absolutely pointless and downright wrong.

I did Can talk tactics all you want, but he just was never good enough for a game like this and shouldn't have started, end of

I think Rafa was just sticking to his players to see if they can make the lone striker system work, it obviously didn't, other managers might've stuck it out longer than he did. Takes a big man to change your ideas early on in the season I personally think he'll get rid of Cisse and bring in another striker and continue playing the 4-4-2 as the starting formation for 90% of the games, perhaps without Moro and Crouch partnering (Even though those two are doing very well together atm), just to strike a better balance upfront I don't think he'll change much even if he brought new players, if it ain't broke don't fix it and all that. He'll just buy them to expand his possibilities Under Rafa, we can play under numerous different shapes anyway, so we really don't have any set formations, 4-4-2 atm is probably Plan A, but the man has B, C, D, E, and so forth, he's that good

It's a bit naive to assume that if he does leave Newcastle due to the clause, it'd be to us Anything can still happen, even though I want the lad back, still...

Because 1. We don't have the players to play 4-5-1 and succeed in England. 2. You need two strikers in England. 3. 4-2-3-1 or 4-5-1 or whatever Rafa's preferred shape was, wasn't working, particularly away from home He's a flexible man and always has been, so he changes to a formation that best suits the players he has at his disposal, which is a conventional 4-4-2.

Revenge It's about revenge...

Owen's a big enough man not to be bothered by the booing

Not the first one to miss Chelsea players playing basketball in their own box

I'm not saying he's lying He is definitely still not 100% fit, Rafa's been very careful with the way he's using him and so he should be But despite him not being 100% fit, I'm saying he has been playing very very well this season.

He is having a very very good season despite him saying he's still injured

Back here in Aus, we call that flying the flag, and Crouchzinho flew the flag, whether it was stupid or not (It probably was), it was still very good to see someone standing up for their mate. Ditto Stevie, captain should be the first in there if one of your own just got seriously targeted
