Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored a ridiculous 140 goals in 139 games since leaving Manchester United, has claimed that he still misses the club, the manager and his former team mates.
“I speak with Sir Alex sometimes and of course I miss Manchester,” Ronaldo told Zoo magazine. “It felt like I left a family back there because I spent six years with all those guys and I still have a very good relationship with Ferguson and the rest of the lads. I still speak with Rio Ferdinand, Nani, Anderson and Patrice Evra. I still see them as a big family, so of course I miss them. I especially miss the apple crumble and custard they served at Carrington after training — it was amazing!”
Asked what he particularly missed about working under Fergie, Ronaldo joked: “Ha! I miss his good moods all the time! Always happy. Ha ha! But he always had a good energy around the players and the team — and I miss that.”
Ronaldo has yet to win the league title in Spain, although his winning goal at the Nou Camp at the weekend all but confirmed they will be champions this season. However, he still holds the Champions League final victory over Chelsea as the best moment in his career.
“I’m enjoying my football so much at the moment and I think I’m much better now than when I was younger,” he added. “The best moments of my career so far have been when I won the Champions League with Manchester United and when I won my first title here with Real Madrid. And when I won the best player in the world, the Golden Boot — those were all special moments for me.”
Man Utd News 24/7
Watched him evolve from a raw undoubted talent into an absolute phenomenon who won the World’s best player. He is as efficient as a player should be. His sublime goal-scoring ability would be heralded far more if it wasn’t for that little argentine. A class act you are ronaldo and i miss the guy at united, he raised the roof tops when he attacked the opposition at old-trafford.
We miss him too but he plays for Real Madrid now! No chance he will ever come back, coz he always said his heart was in his boyhood club even when he ws contracted to us. However Goodluck beating Barca to the title cant stand them winning everything! Much rather talk about Hazard. Fergie’s interview thats all over the news this morning? Is that new or a month old??
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11667/7691973/Norwood-offered-new-deal
If we go after a Hazard type, I reckon we’ll bring in Norwood and give him the opportunities Gibson had.
Also if Anderson continues to hog the medical bed, I have a feeling a kid like Petrucci,Tunnicliffe etc will get the go-ahead.
But if Pogba stays, none of the above will happen (Norwood , petrucci etc playing) Pogba is a talented boy but I can see the boy leaving within the next 3-4 years, he’s isn’t 100% committed if it takes him this long to make a decision.
” and when I won my first title here with Real Madrid” ???
I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin’
Saying I don’t know when I’ll be comin’ back again
It depends on how I’m a-feelin’.
Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way
I’m sure your mind is roamin’
I’m sure your thoughts are not with me
But with the country to where you’re goin’.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there’s something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather
…in other words, the ship has sailed
“Ronaldo: Of Course I Miss Manchester”
….Does God know..?!
miss u ronaldo…class act and will go down as top 10 players the world has ever seen once his career has finished
It seems likely that Cristiano’s God would know.
I think that the way it goes in Ronaldo’s life, is that his God knows everything.
Even stuff that Ronaldo himself doesn’t know.
Like for example, what the future holds.
Clint – norwood can be a sublime passer but it would be interesting to see what he offers as an all round midfielder at united.
you couldn’t pop back on monday for a couple of hours could you?
we’ll make apple crumple…
This is polemic
In the future?
I don’t talk about the future, I talk about now.
I love the fans the manager the team. Everything is good in the Manchester, but the future?
Only God knows
Ok whatever, personally I do not miss him…….We have fried our fish well enough without him. Over the years we have lost far more important players than him be it in terms of retirement or simply moving on…Some I shed a tear for but not Ronaldo
For me, Ronaldo is the best player in the World, although I agree that Messi runs him close.
I do not yearn for any player, but would ecstatically welcome Cristiano back with open arms and a rapidly-beating heart. Wow, what a footballer, and he is our adopted son.
Chicharito misses Guadalajara, Rooney misses Goodison park.
First title for Madrid? Must have missed that Ronnie. Nowt but respect for the bloke. Always shows respect for United.
Some may slate me for this but I would NOT welcome him back…. Having said that I will forever be grateful for his time at the club
The Manchester United Ronaldo up until the penalty miss in the CL final was a full tilt unbreakable player that was beyond words, a lot different to what he is now.
The Ronaldo then dragged his team with him, the Ronaldo now is more of a team player – astonishing when you consider his goal tally.
I like many United fans do miss him but I also don’t miss that last year – although he was still doing incredible things, however no United fan should forget the whole nonsense he started after the CL final especially this bit when Blatter the fat deluded fuck said that we treating Ronaldo like a slave.
‘You know what I said, what I want and what I would like. Let’s see. I agree completely with the president of Fifa. Now I have to wait and see but I do not know where I will begin the season.
‘It is not true I have an agreement with Real Madrid, there is no agreement.’
We knew that he always wanted to leave – we would have happily have let him go as well if he had been a lot more honest. I believe that if he had not had his moments in the summer of 08, I truly believe that if he had kept quiet about the Madrid transfer just agreed with SAF about leaving in 09, then he would have had an even better season and maybe the ending to that year would have been different.
The fact is the whole 08 summer nonsense meant he changed, and towards the end of the season especially the city game and onwards to the CL final he became stroppy and arrogant and ultimately couldn’t give a fuck.
Would I have him? Of course I would, but if he comes he would come back with Mourinho if he believes in him more than Madrid – supposing we get Mourinho as manager.
However having him back and wanting him back are two different things – I’d also like to have Pique back too nice he has done wonders for Barcelona – especially against us in two CL finals!
Good luck Ronaldo the love affair was fucking brilliant but now it’s over.
United are a different beast and hopefully in years to come will carry on defying so

First title he means the copa del rey he won, not league title!
i hate the fan who lift the placard written ‘why always we 20′ he is cursing us
Only God knows…
…how much he misses United.
by title i think he means the spanish cup last year…foreigners assume title means a trophy or a cup…
Costas
Manchester Kebabs
Madrid kebabs.
The truth is out there and we know it.
Agents Costas and MG – The K(ebab) Files
Extreme hyper, excitement and pumped up mode here………….Bring on the bitters I cannot fucking wait
Are we there yet, are we there yet? Is it kick off already? Has the team been selected?
FUCK
off topic…has anyone heard of the woman who collapsed and died while running the london marathon?
its so scary that all these healthy sportsmen and women are collapsing while running..morosini muamba now claire!!
its makes u think twice when running on the treadmill or in a freindly match with ur mates!!!
scary!
RIP claire
I feel like a bloody 12 year old waiting for the first field trip in school…. Cannot sleep days before in anticipation
of course we miss ronaldo I mean yes rooney has done brilliantly to fill the void but still no player has the spark ronaldo have and as much as I would love to see him back at utd we should move on
@MG
Truer words have never been spoken. Too bad it’s taken Ronaldo 3 years to get the picture.
Costas
Ronaldo’s a little slow bless him, it’s polemic you know?
Cedars – Are you going back to school again then?
Not to make light off loss or tragedy, but that fact is that people die. And just like a car-part is more likely to fail when under unusual duress (ie: late for the game, so racing hard to get there) body parts that are maxed out are more likely to lurch into organ failure.
I’ve heard that people die doing all sorts of things. Sleeping is a common one.
It’s not the sleeping that kills you, it’s your failure to wake up that gets you in the end.
Wake Up!
There we go, keep it up mate.
@MG
At first I didn’t know what you were talking about. And a few days ago I saw the 06-07 review and I stumbled on the polemic line.
He was right though. The thugs at Boro had it out for him.
Sleep is the cousin of death. Stop teasing Ronaldo!
Apple crumble and custard?
It’s just made my day to hear that Ronaldo – one of the greatest players I’ve ever seen – loves apple crumble & custard. I can’t wait to tell my daughter Kat, who’s a real dab hand on the crumble front, in a long family tradition. Mind you, I think Gary Neville will remain her favourite player.
He got his just desserts at Manchester United.
What makes you think ronaldo would leave his boyhood dream club to come with mourinho? ronaldo was an almost complete player when he joined the spanish club, mourinho played no part in his development, the only thing they both have in common is, they both want to win and that’s it. If mourinho leaves, ronaldo wont give a fuck, he’ll continue to mesmerise the santiago bernabeu fans.
And i agree about his antics being disappointing before he left, i think he did everything to leave united and join madrid, we’re just a stepping stone towards achieving his ambition. Let’s not forget he’s a mediterranean and grew up admiring the virus of real-madrid, we had absolute no chance of keeping him longer and the six years (albeit he only became brilliant at two years from the end) was an achievement in itself.
I think he has a bond with the manager and team-mates. For all his appearances as a model or whatever he does, unlike beckham, ronaldo has always taken football as number one priority plus he has far more talent too.
@Samuel: Tend to agree there (surprise, suprise!). All those fantasies about Ronaldo coming back because he’s unhappy at Madrid, or coming back with Mourinho are exactly that – fantasies. He says nice things about United and Sir Alex – which might be genuine respect and affection, though I do have a feeling that one part of it is just careful PR.
Still, one of the best the world has ever seen, and you can’t help but miss what he used to do for us. Respect for that, but, the ship has sailed. We move on.
King Eric- agreed re respect. Without doubt his lass season only happened due to respect for SAF and club. Even though he wanted to leave he always , in my opinion gave it his all.
I just don’t think Ronaldo would give you his last Rolo.
He would flutter his eyelids at you, but no Rolo! 
Jeet – he may be unhappy with the attitudes surrounding the club but because it’s his dream club, all that can be ignored. So yes, let’s just put aside any thoughts of him arriving. One thing united would have offered him and real-madrid wouldn’t is definite respect and dignity. the minute he can’t replicate performances he currently puts on show now, the fans will wave their handkerchiefs and turn against him, they’ll dispatch him faster than he ever imagined but he knew that and that’s the risk he’s willing to take. May well become a legend there, has smashed every possible record anyway.
David Beckham also loves Manchester United.
I guess at least as much any of us might, were we professional footballers.
Many point to his off-field pursuits, while not recognising that it is who he is as a person that has made him so universally liked. Spotlights have always been on him, and public perception is very positive across the globe. Despite the best attempts of those who need to display negativity towards him, and despite his existence in an arena were millions turn against you for ever if they perceive any slight against their team. Every football fan with a top-league team in England, Spain, Italy and the US has had Beckham playing against them (except 4 teams) and yet he is well considered in each of those countries. Detractors, yes. But globally, and in each country Beckham is respected and liked.
Costas

Always will have huge admiration for ronaldo, for me he’s the complete footballer, but he seeked pastures new and we are where we are, still relentless, still been succesfull,still loved and hated by many, still everything FC MASSIVE strive to be, still the first team result’s the scousers look for before their own, still the BIGGEST club in the WORLD, and more importantly STILL MANCHESETR UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB. but thanks for the memory’s ron.
The Holy Trinity – in happiness together
Rephrase before Cedars gets in.
The Original ROM Holy Trinity – in happiness together
All other Trinity’s are just pretenders to the throne.
True True beckham also loves united but he will never come back and just like Ronaldo 2 Anyone agree or disagree with me
Here we go with the “Liked for who he is” Line, this is not a dating show. I don’t even regard him amongst the greats of world football based on his ability but yes, he’s efficient with the pepsi-max adverts.
He would have passed Sir Bobbys record and then some if he had stayed. Oh well no point dwelling on he past we have the most important game of the season on Monday a game we simply cannot afford to lose.
He’s universally liked, because anyone can find that out by travelling the universe in a tele-port and in the end, watch every family from all corners of the earth, from the chips and fish shops in manchester to districts of rio de janiero, dancing in their hollywood galaxy kit of course.
You can try and replicate MG, but you can’t ever better the original!
Doesn’t look like Toure will get charged for his 2 finger salute on Sunday. Between this and Terry still in the clear about his racist incident, if I was a Liverpool fan I’d be pissed that only Suarez was made to pay for similar incidents.
Well, if you don’t even regard him amongst the greats of world football based on his ability, then I guess he’s lucky that he’s efficient with the pepsi-max adverts. Thank goodness for that!
He never achieved anything really in the game. And he wasn’t considered a wizard with the football by his peers. And he didn’t put his heart into his football. And he isn’t still a fan.
He thought he was in a dating show. How he ever made the starting-line up is a complete mystery. And having to redo his hair and make-up at half-time was definitely a disruption that Fergie was unable to control for years.
Thank goodness for Pepsi! Whipped him away just in time. What a cool drink!
As if Toure was ever gonna get a ban. Not this week, anyway. And Costas, If I was a Liverpool fan? Perish the thought!
It’s embarrassing that becks still clings on to representing britain at the olympics. because of him, better players won’t be seen, he’ll take all the limelight and not for all the good footballing reasons either, the circus surrounding him and england must be placed on comedy shows all round the world. McClaren bringing him back because of media pressure, england using him as an ‘ambassador’ (or shall we say, use him to get fifa members star-struck in order to win hosting the world cup but ultimately failing immensely at that), amongst many crap that don’t actually represent a player’s ability.
What a wonderfully descriptive way of saying “That can’t be proved!”
Ah, I do love wizardry. With words and especially with a football.
Kicking a ball is quite an important part of the game.
David was particularly good at kicking the ball.
It’s only one aspect of football, but it shouldn’t be discounted.
Personally, I think Becks was a damn good player, but nowhere close to being an all-time great. His celebrity cult probably make a lot of people think he is an even better player than he is. However, his dedication to the game cannot be questioned. Brilliant servant for United during his time, and he does hold the club dear. If he makes some awesome dough by exploiting his performances on the field, and his good looks, well good luck to him. Not a problem with me.
@Albert Ross
Becks is the English version of Park. An average player who’s only signed by big clubs in order to sell shirts.
@willie
Relax mate. I said if.
Don’t feel sorry for them too much. We’ve been in their position countless times when it comes to FA matters.
How can it be Beckham’s fault that Britain wants him?
A player should refuse selection because a few people think others should be chosen?
If that applies, the squad will consist of zero players.
Every player selected should be embarrassed? Or just the one, David?
Your a fan, i am not and it may be hard for you to accept but neither are many. All that you’ve conjured up certainly won’t influence me, let’s put the debate aside before it diverts into directions beyond the controls of mankind.
Costas – Personally, I feel Suarez got off lightly mate. I wanted the ban imprinted on his forehead!
Costas – that’s the truth!
I guess it’s also true that Park is not our best player. He has been an integral part of much of our success, and brings his own world-class qualities that make him so valuable. Like Becks!
He must be good-looking, for the ladies swoon or clamour for his time, from Paddy’s reports.
He seems to be such a nice guy, and I bet he’s well-loved for similar reasons to Becks.
Gary Neville is a Red. He loves Beckham!
He was a class act! A huge part of our team untill that final season.That left a bad smell in the air for me.He deserves respect for not behaving like that golfer that spat the dummy.We need to accept he is not coming back.
Off topic I had to spend two days calming down over sundays game and the aftermath.Some of the regulars stayed strong and did not let disappointment show in knee jerk reactions.Most of the others did not! We cannot win every game no matter how much we might want it.We have people playing and not bloody robots.Our attacking play was top draw.I think the players thought the game was over at 4-2 as did all of us.The draw that eventuated was harder to take because it actually felt like a loss.I predicted a 3-1 score and at 60 minutes it was correct.To score four beautiful goals as we did deserves applause.To turn on the team,manager and individual players is not acceptable.The utter dribble that some wrote on here is beyond understanding.I am not going to single out individuals as you know who you are.The defeatest mentality, coupled with the neurological disorders that many have with their knees, shows little understanding of the game.Shit Happens! We need to stay strong and not add to the crap.We are good enough to win the derby. We are good enough to win the league.If we were offered this position in december we would have grabbed it with both hands.Many thought the title was won after we went 8 points ahead.Football has made fools of us.Now more than ever we need to stay staunch and not lose heart!
just catching up on the last couple of threads goggled WillieRedNut and Pablo Escobar’s name came up YIKES
Cristiano Ronaldo is an awesome athlete but he’s not a better footballer than Leo Messi.
They are, to be sure, very different players. For me, the little guy’s close-control-at-speed and quite incredible shooting accuracy trump CR7′s combination of speed and power. And, of course (of course !) neither would be as good without a supporting cast so it’s not surprising that smart coaches have built teams around these stunning talents.
All UTD fans “miss” CR7 BUT, to my way of thinking, over the last few years – when push-has-come-to-shove, UTD have actually “missed” box-to-box midfielders Owen Hargreaves and DarrenFletcherinho (“football genius”) in the engine-room rather more than Cristiano’s scoring abilities.
UTD have been able to replace CR&’s goals by evolving the attack; UTD have not been able to replace the dynamism, drive, and tenacity of those two ManchesterTerriers.
Having said that, I admire Cristiano Ronaldo’s ability to perform PR at a very high level, in three languages. He might not be well-educated but he’s a shrewd bugger ! And, like Georgie Best, he has that rascal’s sparkle in his eye when he’s taking-the-piss. Does Leo Messi even speak ?
jokes on here are about as funny as england being a great national team, deary me!
It’s not hard to accept that someone dislikes a player. It is in fact easy, when that someone regularly reflects negatively on that player. A pattern emerges, and then understanding. I didn’t at all struggle to grasp it. Surely that is the same for others? If they hear that a person doesn’t like spaghetti, they realise that stringy pasta is not wanted. Works like that for me, anyway.
I loved the ‘directions beyond the controls of mankind’ line! It’s so alluring, as a siren on the rocks. Yet to it you attach a plea for no further discourse on Beckham, and I agree.
Busby babes
You pretty much summed it up perfectly
zigoo an answer to your comments on the other thread,i disagree i’d say Jones and DDG have bigger hype than both Nani and Anderson did at the time.Utd paid 28mill for Rooney be he was a young lad also
The club very rarely splashs huge money on a established ‘world stars’
@Albert Ross
Yeah, but Nev doesn’t count! He was Becks’ best man at his wedding.
I agree with you though. In his own way, Beckham was world class in terms of what he brought to the team. Anyway, no need to waste valuable time about something the majority understands.
I see some wanna be trinity boys came out to play……….. Leave it to the genuine ones fellas!
In other news, looks like Nani got engaged. All the best to him. No sex before next Monday’s game though.
Costas
I read years ago that sex on match days is actually good for athletes regardless of the sport in question….
Cedars Trinity boys sorry mate have no idea who they are
samuel i found it amusing don’t give a fuck what you think
No Becks isn’t in the same league as Scholes, Giggs etc and has been a bit of a knob commercially BUT I will always like the lad. Was a superb player for United and nobody comes close even to this day anywhere in Football of delivering a ball like Becks did.
Jeet – Agree completely mate with your post at 12.45 . You said it perfectly.
Trydent – Spot on pal.
wayne – Ha ha. Willie IS Pablo Escobar. Don’t fuck with the nut.
@Cedars: I’ve actually discovered that a spliff followed by a good romp on a friday night does wonders to my saturday morning performance on the field – the problem is just how much is good
@Cedars
Really? Never heard that one before. I was always a believer in the motto “women weaken legs”.
Lets hope Nani gets some on Monday then!
Is it true about Nani? Great news! He is getting back to his best again and let’s hope he’ll be doing somersaults on the pitch AND the bed.
denton – “Does Leo Messi even speak”. Ha. Good point. Heard him once I think.
I would take Ronnie all day long. Has more in his locker for me. Both footed, good in air, great finisher, pace, power, free kicks, pens. He gets fuck all credit by those shit house pundits in Spain on La Liga. Make out he is a pub player compared to their beloved Messi. In the main because he is an ex Red and “arrogant” etc. and “Messi never moans, always plays the game in the right spirit”. Yes he does . When Barca are winning for fun. Not quite as jovial when they lose.
I feel the same about Ronnie and Becks at the time was sick of the circus and wasn’t that bothered both left.Both contributed greatly on the pitch and have stayed loyal to Utd since they’ve left have no issues with either of them.
Jeet
Good is as good as can be in your head mate!
Costas
Your motto is spot on my friend and not only the legs that they make weak!! If the theory is right, I hope the whole squad gets laid on Monday morning!! ha ha ha
Can someone please tell me who the trinity boys are,the only reference i could come up with was those two goofy cunts in the bad westerns,goggled them trinity choir comes up
wayne
Regarding the trinity thing, just a bit of fun banter I have with MG…….Its along the lines of
MG, Willie & Costas vs Cedars, Mike & James
The three must be skiers, or was it the three musket ears?
Cedars thanks
Much appricated cedars.
Just saw a 20 minute odd clip on YouTube ‘That’s why I love Manchester United’, a compilation of the best memories. One to check out definitely, sorry I can’t include the link, this is on an iPad.
Regardless of the tension post Sunday’s game against everton, whatever happens against City come Monday and whatever happens at the end of season 11/12, my heart will always swell with pride in the fact that I get to support Manchester United. It is a club like no other.
Alex’s speech on the fifa presidential award sums it up, “we don’t always win but we always try to win”. Other clubs might inspire admiration but ours inspires passion.
Yorke, Cole, Sheri, Solks
Here is the link mate…………. Someone posted it a few months ago. Great watch if anyone has not seen it….

DANNY DECIDER
50/1 Bet365 are offering 50/1 on Danny Welbeck scoring first in a 1-0 victory for Manchester United over Manchester City on Monday
Those odds seem mental why so high
I am in a trinity? I didn’t even know about it.
Costas
Thanks for proving what I knew all along mate………It was all in MG’s head, hence why mine is the one and only!! ha ha ha
@Wayne: I’d be very surprised if it ended 1-0 for either of the 2 teams. Just Welbz opening the scoring should be more probable.
I didn’t know Bestie, Denis and Sir Bobby were in a choir? Amazing what you find out…
Me no Pablo. Just King Willie!
Can’t you see, ohh can’t you see….
Willie was the inspiration for Blow
All hail the king, King Willie
King Eric @ 13:24: ” would take Ronnie all day long. Has more in his locker for me. Both footed, good in air, great finisher, pace, power, free kicks, pens.”
It’s all about opinions – and we all have them. Thankfully,
I do think that CR7′s free kicks are massively over-rated. When he scores they’re amazing but what’s his success rate ? But in regards to being both-footed, great-not-just-good in the air, with pace and power, there’s no question that Cristiano is awesome.
Jeet – Never seen that film? Any good?
Oh dear
smartalex – Hows it going fake one?
AlphaRS
“Does god know”
had me pissing mate and how true that is haha quality post
Sex before a match? Probably safer to stick with apple crumble & custard.
What’s for afters?
Both footed, good in air, great finisher, pace, power, free kicks, pens.
No opinions there, just fact.
@Cedars
Or it could all be in my head. It’s been known to carry plenty of air.
Sir Giles
Its all about ‘positions’ mate…..Any involving stress on the knees should be avoided!
Alberto Rossi
Correct mate he is everything you said. For me the best player in the world.
Jeet hi mate depends on tatics if Utd pack the midfield could be a 1-0 steal,Danny has as much of a chance as anyone to score.Just seemed big odds to me
Willie
Like the Bond song goes: Nobody does it better – than MG
Costas – Are you sure you never knew?
Cedars – Men maybe men – but the Trinity is Holy.
wayne – Never fall into the trap of Trinity pretenders – Cedars will be next telling you that it’s time to move over to Cyprus and near a beach and in a bar…
Giles
We’ve got Jelly for starters
Costas
Ya I know!! ha ha ha
Still don’t like Ronnies antics on the field never grown out of them,few weeks ago made a terrible dive in the box wasn’t even close to a pen,yet he still went into a temper tantrum,no denying his ablity.For me Messi has always been in a comfort zone,he’s probably going to be rated the best ever but has to prove it away from Barca imo.
Well Cedars, hands, knees, bumpsadaisies, all a bit risky, can easily put one ‘out of position’.
Jelly, good choice MG, talking of which, how’s the lovely Jellybean? Any sightings recently?
Its no myth, sex will totally put a player off!!! Nani mus bag it for now.
Wayne while i agree at times ronaldo’s petulance let’s him down, mess’si not immune to a dive either m8, although the latter does seem to keep his temperant in check.
Giggs12Gerrard0
Ronaldo is exhilarating, where as Messi is more mesmeric.
I prefer being thrilled and energised to ecstatic levels, to being dumbstruck in awe.
Sometimes I’m so dumb-struck at Messi that I fall asleep.
Well Giles what can I say
I have it on good authority that Manchester United have found an Uber Agent somewhere in Cyprus and apparently he will be handling the transfers for this summer
Word also has it that Manchester United are definitely not signing Sneijder!
And Ronaldo isn’t coming back.
Straight from the grave vine that bit of news is.
Busby babes no doubt Barca are a team of diving cunts and Messi is one of the worst,he doesn’t throw temper tantrums and he’s more of a team player.Ronnie has always been about himself and is more of a drama queen and baby on the pitch.
fuck’s sake cristiano COME BACK. We miss you. PLEASE come back. waaahh waaahhhh. Imagine if we had ronaldo now This race would have been dusted already.
Damn!
Sorry Giles
I’m typo-ed!
grape vine – not grave vine – I’m sure with you’re writing skills you would have picked up that one!
I would take Ronaldo back in a heart beat.His presence fills defenders with fear,and his ability to hit thunderous shots from 40yards out makes teams that attack very cautious.
When does Ronnies contract come up? changing tax laws in Spain will make England more attractive,10% advantage rather than a 25% deficit,big swing
If Ronaldo was unveiled, laughing on the touch-line with Sir Alex and wearing a United shirt, having re-signed for us; there can surely not be one among us that would not rejoice with them.
Yes m8 messi certainly is a team player although i do think ronaldo has also improved in that regard, mourinho has that work ethic and team comardrie within is managment etho’s, which may also be a factor in that, i always feel with fergie he let’s the expansive players express themselves.
Where would we without the injuries to Fletcher and Hargo and without the loss of Ronny. Ah well, We are United. We build from youth and we develop fantastic young players. We do what we want and we will keep on doing it!
Speaking of happy days…
Congratulation to Nani and his bride to be. Many happy returns to them both.
Also, Congrats to Danny Welbeck, he has agreed a new 45K/wk 5 year contract. Maybe he continue to go from strength to strength.
That is true wayne. The tax-law changes will cost him a fortune.
If he did come back to England, I think Chelsea would be the most likely Club to get him.
I for one would not rejoice at resigning Ronaldo, would not welcome him back personally
I can’t imagine myself not enjoying seeing a happy Sir Alex unveiling a new player.
Of course, I yearn for no player, just love the team. When it changes I love it.
When it stays the same I love it. Is that odd?
Albert my thoughts were love over money.lol.Let his contract run out and finish his career at Utd
Albert surely you yearned for prunier and taibi to have pro-longed they united career;-)
wayne
Would much rather he ended his career in Qatar, China or Russia mate…..Nothing personal but that chapter has long been closed in my books
With you there Cedars. Only 2 probably!
Busby babes
I nearly mentioned them!
I was going to say that Prunier or Taibi being unveiled happily by Sir Alex would please me, but I didn’t think you’d believe me!
lol, i would have beleived you wholeheartdley.
wayne – perhaps there’s more money to be made at United, with our global fan base, especially looking ahead to after his playing career. By then there will be ½ a billion United fans. Enough of a market should he chose to take up knitting socks, for example.
Cedars fair enough mate,to me he’s 2 big of a talent to ignore if he wanted to come back for the right reasons.Highly unlikely to happen,i’ve gained more respect for him just by what he says,think his love for Utd is genuine
Thanks for the vote of confidence Busby babes!
wayne
Same here mate, I do not dislike the fella, far from it and I do appreciate his love and respect for the club and the boss………..Still do not want him back though!!
Special Shout out To Nani on getting engaged to his lovely partner. I wish them all the best in the future. Congrats to Welbeck on getting PAID. that’s the result of hardwork. Keep it up welbz and win us this title.
Sir Alex has talkd about Hazard publicly for the first time in a while. Looks like this Hazard to United thing might be a possibility after all. Oh man I’M PUMPED for the summer.
Barcelona to win 3 1 on the night at 10/1 odds? Might have some of that!
Cedars
Is signing Ronaldo allowed on Football Manager – more importantly?
I fucking love Ronaldo. ( not in a fruity way )
MG
Knock yourself out mate!! ha ha
Right, I am off to the boozer, be back later
Phew
Thanks Cedars you’ve just saved my summer
Enjoy Cedars – have one on me – and don’t look too hard watching those babes on the beach!
I don’t really agree with some who likes to be on moral high ground who says they don’t want Ronaldo back. Are you really sure you don’t want one if the most prolific player in the world in your team? A player who actually still likes us for that matter, even if its just a second love?
And it gets more annoying that there are still those who want us to keep the likes of Pogba, who clearly doesn’t give a damn about us, who doesnt even have a dream club.
Wayne @ 14:42: “Still don’t like Ronnies antics on the field never grown out of them,few weeks ago made a terrible dive in the box wasn’t even close to a pen,”
I saw that, too. After watching a few replays, I came to the conclusion that it was a “speed wobble” – or, maybe, he tripped himself. He is very good at looking aggrieved, though.
When he played for UTD, he used to get kicked six-ways-to-Sunday and rarely got any “protection” from the referee – I distinctly remember a journeyman from ManShitty kicking him in the stomach and someone from Middlesborough chopping him in the throat and Andy Wilkinson of Stoke kicking him in the shins (worse, even, than Jamie Carragher’s assault on Nani last year). The refs waved play on and there was NO retrospective punishment. I’d imagine that he’s better “protected” in Spain where the referees blow the whistle and flash a card when nothing happens.
Oh god why is fake smartalex on. Fuck off you cunt. As for Brendan Rogers . Good god. Another flavour of the month. It was fucking Martinez who got Swansea playing that way anyway,.
Giggs12 – Alright pal. It was me who stated those attributes of Ronnie. Albert was quoting me!!!
Disagree Messi doesn’t thrown tantrums. Did you see him on Saturday? As I said earlier it is ok when he is winning which is 99 per cent of the time but when he isn’t he throws his toys out the pram. I HATE the way the Barca players surround the ref. God i do not know what is up with me but since the weekend I have actually wanted Chelsea to progress. The downside then of course is they are only 90 minutes away in cup football from having some sort of History.
Any United fan who wouldn’t be happy if Ronaldo came back is lying!!! Yes Cedars and Willie! Only messing but I would take him back in an instant.. Loved Eric, Robbo., Keano etc but for sheer getting bums off seats there was nobody better than Ronnie IMO.
I have a much a nicer voice King Eric.
Just kidding!
When flattery assails those who imitate you, a quiet confidence should ensue.
It fell to me to point out the true source, but that would have thwarted my own cunning plot.
Those words are yours, spoken by you before today, also with clear conviction.
ps I copy/pasted them directly from dejavu davey’s 14:08
Albert – Ha. No worries mate. Was only joking . Well sort of!
“dejavu davey”. Superb.
Who’s talking about a moral high ground? It’s a matter of opinion, no? If Ronnie did come back to United, I wouldn’t be gutted, if that’s what you’re thinking. I’d support the lad, like I would any player signing for United. IMO, it can never be as good as it was the first time. Great memories, I do cherish! Nothing against him personally. Though, the way he acted in 2008 still annoys me. I’ve got it over it now!
King Eric – all good!
I will take this opportunity to say that I’m not in the habit of repeatedly applauding regular contributors, so your submissions receive very little public acclaim from me. Suffice to say that I have happily learned to look forward to your posts, and feel in some small way connected to life in Manchester through your penmanship. Thanks for that.
Willie – I am sure you can get odds as large as 10-1 for Drogba to get the first goal tonight. Either that or I misheard it!
Albert Ross – Thankyou although as you know I live nearer Leeds. Thanks all the same pal.
Changed my mind and went for Barcelona to win 3 1, but with Messi as first goal scorer. Got it at 20/1.
King Eric – We used to laugh at the Ronaldo fan boys? Now you’re part of that group! Lol.
Willie – Ha. I know mate. Brett1985 being one of them. I was a bitterman back then!!!
I do know that King Eric, and I try hard not to hold it against you.
Very hard.
Anyway, as a United supporter (living in leeds for fuck sake) you are watching TV and listening to the radio and reading newspapers and partaking daily in conversations at work and at home that all centre around Manchester United. The impressions portrayed here by such as yourself and Giggs12Gerrard0, to name but 2, are fundamental to our understanding of life loving United.
Some of the bastards that I hate I have been so lucky to have been given the heads-up by you lot, for I couldn’t pick them out of a line-up. What chance would I ever have had of despising the filthy lying cunts if I haven’t even heard of them, or what they are saying?
More seriously though, us distant Reds are sucking much of our life-blood from United directly through you local lot. That blood is not ABU-Negative, but O Yeah Positive, and Red as a United shirt.
@King Eric
Nah, you are just too soft now mate.
Willie – Barca 2 – Chelski 1 is my bet … wonder what that will do to UEFA
JC – You fancy Chelsea? Platini will order a reply if that happens!
That must be what happened. Since Ronny left, Anderson been eating everyone’s apple crumble and custard.
I strongly dislike Chelsea but I really really dislike FC Uefalona and the tippy tappy diving whiny cunts playing in that hideous maroon and blue and I’d love to see them crumble in their quest for TEAM OF THE CENTURY™
No moral high ground as far as I am concerned, I wholeheartedly would not want Ronaldo back… It is my opinion and I feel quite strongly about it….
King Eric
What’s this I hear about you getting soft these days? Tighten up pal!! ha ha
Would the real King Eric please stand up!
What happens next if Torres is dipped in glue, rolled in wool tufts and released in Leeds?
Anderson ate all the rollo’s too
Scenario: Terry lifting the CL cup or kettleneck lifting the title mmmmmm discuss.
aargh … vomit … blerch … ptoooi … angknkplcht!
Haha
Ha Ha. Get bent lads.
JC – I agree pal. I have Chelsea to win 2-1.
Albert Ross – Very kind of you mate. Much appreciated.
Gotta love Ronnie. All round, a better athlete than Messi. What I find most Amazing about him is that for a winger, he’s a better finisher than most full-time strikers in the world.
The complete forward.
Ronnie’s in charge, of our days and our nights!
Viva Ronaldo!!!!
AlphaRS @ 10:19: “Does God know ?!”
Well, he did he still speaks to Sir Alex occasionally, so there’s your answer.
Ronaldo > daft little Argentines
MUFCJord
I agree! I think Ronaldo should be rated as No. 1 in the World, not Messi.
So if you are missing us so much what is holding you coming back ? After all you had your dream come true playing for Madrid and I don’t thing that you are short of cash are you ?
