Gutted. I love it when the best someone can say is "spot on guys"...shows a real lack of...intelligence. Or perhaps a real lack of understanding, to such an extent that you can't actually forge a coherent argument, or opinion of your own. If Ronaldo proves me wrong over the course of the season i'll hold my hands up. I'm not questioning his ability, just his commitment to United. 'Cos it's United that count for me, not one player, however good he is. I'm not the only person who feels like that either. Judging by the tepid support he received when his picked up his FIFPRO player of the year award the other week at Old Trafford. Rio got a bigger cheer for standing next him holding a menu, or something. It's a shame, but he's brought it on himself. It will take more than a handful of goals to convince me that he still wants it. Muppet?

And dont forget he was in Brazil mid-week. He was obviously tired. RedMist you are officially a muppet. RedMist: He was talking bout the start of the season.

Injured? He's been playing for weeks. There was nowt wrong with him at Villa, clearly. Other than the fact he was getting tackled, easily. Yes he copped a few fouls but nothing to warrant the reaction we saw from him. He's in his twenties y'know, not a teenager. And yet he still can't get his head around the fact that people are allowed to tackle him. Or at least try. He would be almost unstoppable if he grew a pair. But the fact is he spends more time trying to win dodgy free kicks than he does doing anything else. Look beyond the razzle dazzle of a few goals and try and see the whole picture. If you can. I read an article a few weeks ago, might have been on here actually, about how the dippers will blindly accept any kind of behaviour of the like of Stevie Me - immediately, conveniently forgetting the shirt burning antics outside Anfailed when he had one foot in Stamford Bridge. The article went on to say that United fans were smarter, more clued up to this type of thing, and wouldn't be so quick to forgive and forget. Good article. Other than a few goals, Ronaldo has SHOWN nothing to make me think he is fully committed. Yes, he has said a few carefully selected words, a few sound bites for the masses, but his histrionics on the pitch say a whole lot more, imo. You obviously disagree, i respect that. But as a life long United fan, i am not loving the way he is applying himself at the moment. Spencer, how old are you?

Ronaldo has been a little off form the last 2 matches(BrazilVsPortugal& Villa). I know he'll want to play tomorrow due to his massive ego wanting to take centre stage in Europe but i think SAF should bench him and bring him on if needed if he's not, then save his legs to twist that clown Dunne and his comrades at the wastelands up!!

I think, maybe rest him against Villareal. Keep him on the bench in-case we end up needing him to inject some life into us or something. I'm actually more concerned with the derby match. Losing to City is not something we should be making a habit of. Losing at all is not something we should be making a habit of. Damnit...we should've capitalized on the weekend!

Most professional athletes are incredibly competitive BUT they are also conditioned to know that they cannot win all the time so they are mostly pretty laid-back about results which, they figure, usually end up favouring the best team of players. Otherwise, they just get on with their professional lives. So, it's hardly surprising to see TheLads having a yuk - it doesn't mean that they don't care but Carrington isn't El Madrigal or Old Trafford or any other forum where they do battle - for real.
