“Viva Ronaldo, viva Ronaldo, running down the wing, hear United sing, viva Ronaldo,” our fans sung every week, with the chant becoming a bit of an anthem during the second half of the season. Ronaldo was on fire, scoring pretty much every match, and every week his song got louder and heartier. We were closing in on our goal and Ronaldo was helping us achieve it.
After the European Cup final, where Ronaldo scored our goal but missed the penalty, he confirmed amid the speculation, that he would be staying. And that is what is happening, but it’s taken two months of frustration for that to be confirmed.
Ronaldo can expect a rough ride from sections of our crowd, but what does he have to be narked about?
Last season was our second most successful in the club’s entire history and the celebration started when John Terry missed the penalty. The ever popular song for Ronaldo was adapted. “Viva John Terry, viva John Terry, could have won the cup but he fucked it up, viva John Terry.”
After a summer lacking clarity, Ronaldo made his glorious return for the Community Shield, watching with the other players unavailable. Had the fuss not ensued during the summer, our fans would have been singing for him. As it was, when the chant went up, it was Terry’s name the fans were singing, not Ronaldo’s. The same occurred on the opening day of the season against Newcastle.
Well, Ronaldo has seen his arse over this, and is not very happy at all. Upon returning to Carrington for training, he had words asking why we weren’t singing for him anymore. Whilst not buying in to fuss over the pictures of him at the training ground looking mardy, I have been reliably informed that he was genuinely put out that we haven’t been singing his name yet.
Not the sharpest tool is he?

Sort of sums him up really, selfish.
What a load of b*llocks!! Instead of wasting your time making up inane stories abou Ronaldo, why not use it more productively like following up real stories.
I hope his response will be that he’ll force us to start singing his name again, by putting in the same perfomances and banging in the goals like last season. I wont cheer him when he first comes back, but I wont jeer him either. I’ll wait and see what his attitude is like, and if he starts to burst his lungs for us again, I’ll cheer him on again. All we ask is for 100% effort from the players, and if he delivers and gives his all, I for one will chant his name. Its a shame that arguably the greatest chant heard round the Theatre (and the aways) last year has been adapted to one pulling the mick out of Mr Banana Shoes. Dont get me wrong, Its nice to get a dig at JT and the rentboys and I think that should have a place in our songs aswell. But when I hear it being sung, it only reminds me of nights last season like Barca at home, and Moscow, when Viva Ronaldo seemed to go on forever as the scarves went mad. I want that back, and its up to one man to prove to us he’s worth that effort again…
I’m just greatful he stayed. Viva Ronaldo!
Is this rumor true? Where was this heard from? Does Ronaldo seriously expect the OT faithful to sing songs about someone who wants to leave the club in such a frustrating manner?
He has got to realize that he can’t have his dam cake and eat it, if he wants to join his boyhood idols there are better ways to go about it. He surely can’t expect us to be happy about it after the summer he’s just had.
I’m sure that Utd fans will ALWAYS be grateful for the 42 goals and the magical season, but at the same time the love ain’t there no more and if he wants it back hes gona have to earn it.
It came straight from a person who works at Carrington who heard Ronaldo complaining about it. Not bollocks, not rumour.
well then i hope whoever he complained to managed to explain to him properly why his song is not sung anymore. hopefully it’ll spur him on to earn it back
Most United fans have to take a share in Ronaldo’s conceit anyway. If he has got an ego, we have sure made him hone it up. The other players were busting their guts to, sweating blood to bring the double to OT. Yet all you could bloody hear, home and away all last season was Viva Ronaldo. Where were the songs to encourage all the other lads. O yeah, Anderson got a few, and Tev and Rooney now and then. On the whole though Ronaldo was glorified to the rafters. Didn’t he make mugs out of the United Faithful too. A lot of the lads feel feckin fools to chant his name now, because of the stick from opposing fans and their laughter. Ronaldo should NEVER get all the adulation again. I am all for singing his song now and again, but only as a share of singing the other lads praises too.
Agreed Craig….what about a song/chant for Evra. He is one of our best and most consistent players, and in my personal opinion the best left back in the league, if not the world. (Although i admit Clichy is pretty good also)
Hardly a reliable source. How can we take it seriously when its just from someone who works at Carrington. No one witnessed this apart from them so I doubt very much it happened.
Gary – I’m not asking you to believe me, that’s up to you. I know it’s true because my mate isn’t going to make up a lie, particularly over something this soft lol. Her exact words were “Ronnie has seen his arse over that John Terry chant and was asking us why they weren’t singing for him anymore.” If you don’t wanna believe it, that’s cool mate. I’m just telling you what I know is true.
Bullshit. You’re really scraping the barrel, even for your standards Scott. Are the stories really drying up so much for you that you have to make up mates who work at Carrington. Get a real job ya bum!
if you don’t like what he posts go on another site , keep up the good work scott
ooh aah cantona
keeno keeno
viva ronaldo was pretty powerful though..
if the story is true, it may the asre kicking he need, deserves and live will give anyway. look if he does work hard and wins it back we let him go “next year”!!!!!!!!
once he comes back on the pitch the song will be sung as loud as ever
how could u possibly hate a player of that class
ViiVA RONALDO all the way
duncan….piss off.
thanks muppet
Duncan – if I was going to make up a mate who worked at Carrington, I’d be far more inventive with my stories. Ronaldo being unhappy about the Viva John Terry chant is hardly headline news. Punch ups and affairs would be far more entertaining, if I was in the business of making shit up. I was just sharing some inside knowledge, if you don’t wanna know about it, that’s up to you, but I know I was fairly interested when I heard.
