    Now please don’t bottle this Utd. An early goal and I reckon we could be in for a very good day but seen us flounder too many times. Let’s make the return of the king a good one!
     
    Is Fred allowed to play still? I read that he wasn't included in the match day squad before he was cleared to play and so isnt allowed now
     
    Whatever happens from here on out with Ronaldo.....I beg you, just enjoy it unconditionally.

    A previous player such as Cristiano Ronaldo's stature and status within his respective sport rarely, very rarely, ever makes this type of move. Michael Jordan did it with the Chicago Bulls, yet he was still at the peak of all his powers. Maybe Tiger Woods made a similar comeback to the pinnacle of his sport, but he never returned to a team setting like Ronaldo.

    Enjoy the time we have with Ronaldo back in the fold. Good, bad, or indifferent, this is special, fun, and should always be remembered in a positive way.

    Michael Jordan was still amazing for the 2nd 3-peat, but he was definitely past his peak.

    But I agree with your general point.
     
    We're going to smash them :drool: :devil:

    The fans who are going to watch this live are so lucky. Something they'll never forget.
     
    I’m definitely not wildcarding now, as I don’t gain enough potential, but might go for a late -8. Already done Bruno and Wilson to Ronaldo and Torres. If I knew I was actually going to seriously consider a -8 earlier in the week, I would have done Bruno, Ings and Tsimikas to Ronaldo, Jota and probably White. Now I am considering a late Ings to DCL move,
     
    I hope our new old Ronaldo is more mobile than Ibra so we will be less predictable (patterns of play) than back then.

    Against Ireland he moved well off the ball most of the game but did absolutely nothing on the ball, didn’t track back at all and scored two crucial goals. If he hadn’t scored it would have been a 3 out of 10 performance.

    That's fecking scary though about MJ. He was peak, but not exactly His Airness Peak.

    No offense to you chaps on Ronaldo Day, but this is just wrong. MJ was like a fine wine. His Bulls broke the NBA single season win record on their way to that fifth title and he was still the best player in the league when he retired.

    But either way. Siuuuuu

    I suspect the euphoria of having Ronaldo will die down fast after we start getting frustrated with the static 10man team against everyone else.... unless he pops up with goals occasionally.
    Not quite the 2007 Rooney-Tevez-Ronaldo interchanging forward line Ole had envisaged when he first started.

    Poor Newcastle, though. We're gonna batter them by so many goals this afternoon that they'll be instantly relegated. Which is sad for them.

    The TV show Geordie Shore will also be cancelled as a concequence. Which is less sad.
     
    I'm glad that Ronaldo is back at United. But I'm honestly more excited about seeing United play at all.

    We're only 3 games deep into the season and already had pointless international break ruining the flow. I'd be happy with a team of Andreas Pereiras playing at this stage.

    Can't wait for this match. Cristiano is the cherry on top.

    he’s no less mobile than cavani. he simply won’t try taking people on like he used to. he will move the ball and run without it, do the damage in the box.
     
    "definitely involved at some point"?

    Wtf, just start him.

    Hardly pointless it was a WC Qualifier international break.

    They’ve got to be played somewhere
     
    Just realised this game is not on. They have put City v Leicester instead. Fecking wankers. If anyone has a river please dm me. Haven't used one in a long time
     
    Sky have taken the unusual step (never seen it before) of announcing what their Game of the Day is (full 90 mins starting at 8pm). I'm pretty sure they usually wait til all games have finished and then choice the best (possibly most goal-filled) one. Pretty sure everyone here can guess which game they've picked...

    Not sure we would want to be playing on Sunday, then Tuesday in CL. Sorry got the wrong day. I just think when the games were chosen our game was that attractive. Now it is.

    But he did scored and end up with a 8/10 performances, didn't he. It really depends what you want from him. He won't keep running and attacking throughout 90 mins like he usually did when he was younger, but he still score alot of goals and crucial goals for his team even at this age. In past 12 months or so, at age 35-36, he still managed to score around 45 goals for his clubs and country. Very very few could match his numbers even today (maybe only Lewandowski, Haaland, Mbappe and Messi), so Its really up to us on how to utilise this as our weapon.
     
    Buzzing for today. The fact it's not televised has put a bit of a dampner on it though. Don't usual try streams but think I'll have to today. If anyone could PM me with a recommendation that'd be great.
