    I saw people compare him to Heskey, unfavourably <laugh>

    It's sad, but at present he epitomizes the difference between good players, and premier league players. He's a good striker, but doesn't appear able to cut it at this level, which is baffling given his physical attributes. It's a pretty harsh lesson about signing stars from foreign leagues for peanuts really, one we've been learning ourselves recently.

    My question to add to this thread... Who, out of all of our players, is the closest to getting into a World squad? I know they'll still be miles away, but who is closest? I'd say Krul, if he wasn't having the worst season a keeper has had for us in the last 10 years... Which to be fair is probably average for other teams given how we've been blessed.

    Is that the same Mascherano that played second fiddle to Haydn Mullins when our glorious leader was at West Ham?

    Weren't you ever told not to let facts get in the way of a good Pardew-kicking. The man's a cockney, a heathen and - probably - a witch. BURN HIM.

    Sorry sorry what was I thinking, I forgot we are lost without a scapegoat.

    Yeah he is a complete bastard and generally an utter ****ebag. He deserves to have a live autopsy performed on him with a rusty spade. <ok>

    Woah wowowowow.

    When has anyone ever said he can carry the ball like Heskey?

    He can strike the ball like Heskey?

    His movement is just like Heskey?

    His vision is just like Heskey?

    He hits the deck just like Heskey?

    And when has this ever been favourable?
