What's the cut off point where coming on for the last 3 minutes is an insult rather than doing your job?
Don't worry, at the age of 50, there'd still be excuses for him. Like time does not catch up to everyone.@MrEleson
it’s just all excuses.
he hasn’t looked distracted, he’s just getting old.
his legs aren’t under him anymore, he’s not able to get away from defenders like he used to. his shooting is failing him.
of course in the short term he’s going to blame that on circumstances, but he can’t hide behind that forever.
Funny how he always gets his whole family involved in his bullshit, mother, sister, kids, I'm surprised he hasn't brought up that his grand ma would rotate in her grave if she could see how EtH is treating him.
Its the quickest way to get sympathy. How many times have you heard your co worker taking a day off because his grandma has died for the 8th times this year?Funny how he always gets his whole family involved in his bullshit, mother, sister, kids, I'm surprised he hasn't brought up that his grand ma would rotate in her grave if she could see how EtH is treating him.
It amuses me how everyone took ten Hag for his word with the whole 'not bringing him on against City out of respect for his career' shtick. That was complete and utter nonsense. Ten Hag was doing him a kindness and trying to be diplomatic because he knew that Ronaldo was a sensitive little soul and that the media would be salivating if he told the actual truth. The actual truth being that there was absolutely no desire to bring the player on in that game as he is absolutely useless. Martial was already subbed on in preference to him.when the score was 6-3, being dominated, with no hope for any point. Like, what was actually the purpose?
Anyway, that was possibly the most expensive 3 minutes for any footballer, that cost him 1 million. He should've just came in and jogging around, like Rashford did last season against City, and most would just forgot about it.

Sorry, but you couldn’t be more wrong. We were putrid not because of Ronaldo, but because of a lot of shit Ole allowed to fester. I personally give De Gea more credit for saving our season from the unthinkable, but Ronaldo was the only outfield player who put in a decent shift last season. He kept us in the top half of the table when everyone else was dropping turd after turd.
You are just trying to set up a trap which doesn’t even exist but whatever.Please do, objectivity is clearly beyond you in any discussion regarding your idol
With Maguire at the back and the entire team misfiring, do you genuinely believe this?For every goal he scored he cost us between 1 and 2 others.

The reason Maguire was misfiring? Crazy.Yeah I do. I think he was the reason they were misfiring. A stronger coach could have prevented it. But a stronger coach would never have allowed him through the door. That's why ETH leaves him on the bench until he explodes and sacks himself.
It’s the most craziest to continue to lecture people here how great Ronaldo has always been.The reason Maguire was misfiring? Crazy.
We didn’t want one of the best players in history? A player who scores goals like no one else. We needed that. We all wanted him to come home. Hindsight is 20/20. None of us saw this coming. He’s never bitched and moaned like this before. Usually just shuts up and gets on with it. Now he’s leaving in a worse state by his own making. Feck him.
Hey there Niki LaudaWhy people have trouble with the "rat" comment?
I don't consider "rat" as an insult. Consider for a moment, the world a rat lives in. It's a hostile world indeed.
Has a rat ever done anything to you to create this animosity you feel toward them? Rats were the cause of the Bubonic plague, but that was some time ago. In all your born days, has a rat ever caused you to be sick a day in your life? I purpose to you, any disease a rat could spread, a squirrel could equally carry. Yet I assume you don't share the same animosity if Ronaldo call Rooney a squirrel, do you?
Indeed, though to sue United I think he’d first have to prove that the grounds for his dismissal were unfair.
If you put together all the reasons why he was giving that interview, he surely is the biggest cnut in footballHe hates that football's a business remember, so it's just one of those things.
A business paying him millions, but that's not important either.
It was very predictable that as soon as he wasn't first choice we were going to have a problem. We didn't even need him going into last season and many of us said as much. It was disastrous planning.We didn’t want one of the best players in history? A player who scores goals like no one else. We needed that. We all wanted him to come home. Hindsight is 20/20.

I want a super-model wife too but I doubt it would happen. Who in the CL would pick him up, mid-season though with no -transfer fee, it does help his chances.
Benfica?
Chelsea, allegedly. Although they almost certainly won’t be in it next year so the fun and games would start all over again in the summer.
Perhaps but surely everything that has happened in recent months has to have had an impact. I just can’t see how his level could’ve dropped so much in under a year without any external factors playing a role.
I think the WC will show whether he’s really finished or not.
In what way?Tbh I’m still processing a lot of it. I was pretty surprised he would so unashamedly call his ex teammates rats, etc. I was also surprised at how little he could accept any form of criticism. He somehow still seems to think he’s the best in the world when that isn’t really the case anymore. He definitely lives in his own bubble a little and some of the other stuff he said/gloated about during the interview just came off as cringe, especially with Piers constantly sucking up to him throughout the entire thing.
With regards to performances, he’s been poor this season but I still believe that he’s better than he has shown. I think he alluded to something that was interesting…which was that he wasn’t quite as motivated in the last few months like he normally is (seemingly due to a combination of personal problems with his kid & not being undroppable anymore/the team gradually moving on from being built around him).
His level has been worrying but I think half of that is because he doesn’t suit Ten Hag ball and if he was to start afresh elsewhere, he would probably still score goals regularly imo.
I don’t think ETH did him wrong per say. But I think he definitely tried to make an example of him.
Not sure of where his future lies. It’s impossible to say. Part of me is hoping he has a great World Cup and calls it a day. But I know he won’t retire unless he wins the thing. I can’t see any big clubs coming in for him (he’s just way too old & the worldwide media attention & scrutiny he brings is too overwhelming). I think maybe he goes back to sporting. It’s hard to say.
Can he go to the MLS without getting arrested?
Dunno.. I had just assumed we didnt go to the US for pre season because he couldnt go (he went missing anyway, but the planning wouldve been done around this time last year)I thought the case was thrown out? Or did he pay her off?
The case was dismissed some time ago. It’s just that some Messi fans on social media started and perpetuated the idea that he couldn’t go to America which then got lapped up by everyone who didn’t look at the details. I guess it started off as a joke but then it started being taken as fact. It’s crazy how some misinformation online could go a long way.Can he go to the MLS without getting arrested?

Horseshit. There were plenty of us who thought it was a bad idea.We needed that. We all wanted him to come home. Hindsight is 20/20. None of us saw this coming.
2+2 = 54Yeah I do. I think he was the reason they were misfiring. A stronger coach could have prevented it. But a stronger coach would never have allowed him through the door. That's why ETH leaves him on the bench until he explodes and sacks himself.
He paid her off the first time and the second time they did not consider the evidence because it was leaked document about him admitting to it and argued it breached his privacy or some other bs. Either way he got away on a technicality
