A few news stories away from Old Trafford which you might be interested in.
Larsson retires
Sweden’s failure to qualify for next summer’s World Cup has encouraged Henrik Larsson to hang up his football boots. The former Barcelona striker, who joined United on loan during the 06-07 season, scored in the Premiership, Champions League and FA Cup for us.
“I know now that I am 100 per cent sure about my decision to stop. I am 38 now and that’s enough. I will think over what I will do next. Most of all I need some time to adjust to life after football.”
Ronaldo like newborn baby
Days after a voodoo attacker claimed Cristiano Ronaldo’s career would be over in a few months, our former winger says he feels under more pressure but more free in Madrid.
“You feel more pressure at Madrid but I love that, it drives me on. My coach Manuel Pellegrini is clearly different to Sir Alex Ferguson. In fact I’m much more free here, free to roam around the pitch in certain matches. Not only will I use that to become the same player I was at Old Trafford but even better. I feel like a new-born baby – I’m reborn. Just because I won everything with United and was voted Ballon D’Or and World Player doesn’t mean I’ve reached the top. In fact I feel like my career is just starting.”
Leeds take the piss out of Liverpool
Ahead of Leeds’ victory over Norwich last night, their keeper, Shane Higgs, used beachballs in the warm up.
Man Utd News 24/7
ha ha ha good stuff out of leeds slagging off liverpool
i hate liverpool
thou i hate leeds more
fucking leeds think there funny theres nothing funny about making fun of liverpool like that …wait
im confused
I was only talking to my Celtic loving brother in law this morning about Henrik Larsson and he said he did everything he could ever want to do in his football life and after he won a champions league medel theres only one way he could top it(his words) he played for manchester united
I think ronnys talking shite, he was given a free role at united.
larsson has had a successful footballing career and i thank him for his short stint at united in the winter transfer window in the 06-07 season. he was such an incredibly talented and intelligent player. what the fuck is wrong with ronnie we gave him everything and sacrificed for him. eh ronnie the clusterfuck will never be the club united is. we are a club who don’t destroy footballers’ careers. ps veron was a great player who did’nt adjust well to the english game and besides keano was world class and not easy to get him out of the team. haha
balloon 1- dippers 0!
Ronnie talking shite.
Ronnie talking shite.
ronny came to manchester united as an unknown young pup, and although he blossomed into “the best player in the world” for united (thank you, ronny!), the class of the manager and the veteran players such as keano, giggsy, and my favorite player paul scholes, some how kept ronny’s ego in check as much as possible. as united’s best player he was still never allowed to be greater than the team.
this new freedom he refers to seems to be the fact that he went to madrid as a superstar already, and madrid’s board, management, and other player’s must kiss his ass and appease the massive ego which he came in with as the world’s best and most expensive player. who wouldn’t love being young, rich, famous, and completely unchecked in a party city like madrid?
still love ronny for what he’s done for manchester united, but thank god we won’t have to deal with his ever increasing ego and team wrecking selfishness any more. easy to see a hard crash of reality for the boy, when manchester united go further in the champions league this season!
is ronaldo saying that he can be the player he was at 07/08
He always had a free role at UNITED!
is he saying Pellegrini is better than Fergie?!?!
I think he forgot why he’s such a good player, I bet if he started of at 18 with Pelegrinni he wouldn’t be the half a player is!
He’s losing every respect for him again!
Think you guys are getting ronaldo wrong. He’s definitely allowed to do any shite on the pitch by madrid, something fergie never tolerates. Can’t u see the picture. He’s bigger than pelligrini, bigger than madrid. Fergie and united made him so. Being too free is being at a great risk. Injuries??? He was rightly caged with protection by fergie, but please allow him to be free… The end.
Personally think its a fucking insult for Ronnie to say he has a freer role at the fascists. Try telling that to Rooney who had to play out on the fucking flank for you you ungrateful permatanned ponce.
Datnana – Good points actually mate.
Good to see the people on this site aren’t getting any smarter.
How can C Ron’s coments be taken as an insult?
Have any of you even watched his games with Madrid??
He roams from side to side, up the middle. Literally all over the pitch. He was played in different positions with United but he never was allowed to go wherever he wished. His changes of position were always calculated at United(almost always calcualted correctly by Fergie). At Madrid his movement is up to him. On the ball, off the ball. During play, at breaks. He can do whatever he wants. This obviously works for him too if you look at his current goal return.
So piss off with your ‘i’m so hurt and offeneded that he’s slagging us off’ bullshit. The guy is a top player. He was unreal for us. Get over it. He’s gone. Time to move on
@red deviled egg
Your rite top player but if he was a lolly pop he wud probaly lick himself.
Is Ronaldo on something or what. he fucking had a whole team playing for him at United.
He should be careful what he says about United.
UNITED made him, and that is a fact.
@Willie hahaha. I’m pretty sure all those broads he’s taken down have treated him like one
@ Xyth. Why should he be careful. What can happen. He’s already cemented himself in our history. They guy was absolutely brilliant for us.
Yes it wasn’t just him that made our team great, but come on, the guy did unbelievably well for us.
Let’s face it. Ronaldo made a lot more work defensively for guys like Rooney. But players like Park wouldn’t have gotten near as many games had Ronaldo not been around.
The team plays different without him. No question. But he is fucking good
Most of the posters are commenting on ron’s comments. Don’t think he meant anything than what he just said, I agree with RedDeviled Egg. But don’t you guys find the leeds jibe at the dippers so funny. Hahaha as much as I despise leeds, I’ve got to admit, what a brilliant way to piss liverpool off.
ronaldo-ass hole-different material from our- I mean OUR players- Giggs, Neville, Scholes, Ole,ass f**king hole- freedome- he speaks of freedome- the whole squad suffered because of him – we don’t miss him.
The balls- what a delight this week:)
I wouldnt pay to much attention to this shit from Ronnie!! you have to remember he is a Real fan after all, and all this talk of freedom what he means is he is bigger than the club he plays for and gets to do exactly what he wants, he can sulk and throw his toys out of the pram and the directors will go ‘ahh there, there Ronnie’. Fergie wouldnt allow him to take the piss and that is why he became so good, at Real he will be allowed to take the piss and they will pamper his ego (which he wouldnt get away with at OT) until he isnt playing well or they dont want him anymore and then they will toss him to one side. Thats the ‘freedom’ he is really talking about, this is why we are and always will be the biggest club in the world!!
Man some of you guys on this site really are thick-headed! How can you interpret what he said as ‘Insulting’???? He could never roam around at United as much as he has been doing at Madrid. As someone rightly said, he is bigger than the coach at Madrid. And wait till madrid starts to falter and then we will see how Ronnie and the other Madrid fascists reacts. Let some ego war start and we can watch the fun. Benzema seems pissed already. lets hope they lose a couple of games more and then we will see the stuff Pellegrini is made of
