Only muppets ever said that, surely?
I have complete faith in SAF. Call it blind loyalty if you like.

Thats all good and dandy but do you really expect Ronaldo to commit his long term future to us? I admit i've been surprised that we've managed to keep for the upcoming season yet alone for the one that follows after that.
Like I said you just don't know in football. For all we know, Calderon could step down as president and the next president may have no interest in signing Ronaldo
The way I see it, he wants to leave and he's been a cnut over this whole thing. But I don't think he desperately wants to leave and would be quite happy to stay at United. It's like someone owning a BMW and wanting a Mercedez Benz instead. They want the Merc but they'd still be happy with the BMW if things don't work out. Whereas Berbatov has a scooter and wants a BMW. Shit analogy but can't think of anything else. So I still believe he'll be committed at United and with SAF in charge no one can afford not to be.
I like the analogy.
Feel a bit sorry for Spurs being compared to a scooter. Id say theyre a VW Polo.
That's all well and good.
But surely uncertainty is not exactly the perfect scenario.
Don't bet on it being his last season! As redev says a year is a long time in football. The force is with us. RM could well be cast in the role of arrogant but useless.
Ronnie can only relate to the first of those two attributes.
I think he does want out badly. Agreeing with Sepp Blatter (caught on camera folks, so no speculation!) tells me that mate. If he didn't he would have avoided answering that question.
Yes, (for the thousandth time) if he stays he'll just get on with it, but he's shown his cards. He would rather be somewhere else and that will always be on his mind. Like Reddev said, a year is a long time in football and Ronnie knows that, hence why I think he might be a little apprehensive about staying.
In the event he does stay i'll support him, never boo our players. But I think its time to stop making excuses for him. Especially when he's done/said nothing to warrant them.

Well he had a strange way of showing it, what with giving his agent a letter encouraging him to flog his client to the highest bidder.
Yeah I also think it was more that way.
We still haven't had an accurate 2nd opinion on what exactly the question was to which he replied though.
"With your uncertaincy, and my uncertaincy, there's certainly a certain degree of uncertaincy about - of that we can be...
...quite sure."
(From memory.)
To be fair, i really don't give a shit anymore.
He stays, good. He goes, watever, we'll buy someone new with the cash.
Just because he's great doesn't mean we can't win anything without him, been there done that.

I gave up caring soon after Moscow.
He is a cnut.
He might be our cnut come 1st September, or he might be Real's.
However, I wish he ended up Coventry's cnut.
Totally agree Tony... can't wait for the season to start, withdrawal is a bitch.
I'm kind of jealous of people who are so black and white about the whole thing.
I'm still conflicted. Which sucks.

Conflicted about what?
Piggy in the middle... in-between the Ronaldo lovers and the haters, not the worst place to be.
I know what he means, you seem detached from the whole thing. Fair play....
I don't hate him. I just think he is a cnut.
I'm massively pissed off at Ronaldo.
But I fecking loved watching him in a United shirt. I'm too young to have watched Best in the flesh but I genuinely believe Ronaldo is the most exciting player to wear the shirt since. And he's barely 23 years old. I used to imagine telling my grand-kids, with great pride, that I was there to watch him running down the wing in Old Trafford.
Difficult to switch all that off in a summer. But hey, maybe that's just me.
Of course. But see my (many) previous posts re battles for supremacy, putting the RM tiger in a cage, taking them out in a pre-emptive strike, negating their threat, bursting their bubble, triumphing in the titanic battle of the football super-powers, getting Calderon sacked for failing to deliver on his promises and thus providing a stern precedent to all ensuing Presidents inclined to spout bullshit, sending the top-dog away with its tail between its legs, cooking their goose, exposing them for the vainglorious, trumped up buffoons that they are, showing them whose top-dog, beating them at their own game, giving them a dose of their own medicine, staring down the playground bully, A horse! A horse! My Kingdom for a Horse! (nee naw nee naw nee naw......
Never said you did, did you ever really like him though?
Brilliant footballer, one of the best talents I've ever seen.
Never really taken to him as I've done to certain other players.
But then again, not since I was a kid and had Robbo as my idol, have I idolised footballers.
No, you've hit the nail firmly on the head. That's the unifying sentiment for us who defend him (up to a point, Lord Copper) and the cnut of all cnuts cnut calling the cnut whether or cnot he's a cnut.
I felt like that initially but I don't really care about the Madridsta any more... they've made themselves look worse than we could have done. Fact is nobody really care but us ... and the odd person here or there.
Players come and players go.
Never idolised him, it was just great to have a player so good playing at our club... all the abu's hated him with a passion. Reminded me of Cantona. Sadly that's where the comparison ends...
Loved watching him play, waiting for that bit of magic... and it always came.
Some players leave more of an impression than others.
But obviously not on you. Which is fair enough.
If Ronaldo leaves this summer, there's another comparison; they stayed at OT for about the same amount of time.
I reckon COAC has a bar of soap for a heart ...
I jest...
I jest...
And who got the more goals?
Players do leave an impression on.
Plenty of great players I remember with fondness, especially those players who clearly recognised what a great honour it was to play for Manchester United, and clearly loved the club.
Yeah, carbolic..
I've seen Besty in action.
Most old timers might not agree, but going by Ronaldo's form of last 2 years I find it impossible to differentiate who is the better talent wise.
Let's start with the team of 58. They put to shame the attitude and loyalties of today's players.
Think Ronaldo got passed Cantona towards the end of last season.
