Falcao is a beast.
I see what he's saying though. It's rare that the player with all the media attention before a match ends up being the one who actually makes the big impact. Except for Messi, who exists to make rules of thumb like that look silly. And whilst Ronaldo does like the spotlight, Rooney tends to wilt in it (see 2010 world cup), so having the focus elsewhere is a good thing for him.
Spot on. The two situations aren't comparable.
Some of the posts in here are laughable.
Ronaldo is right up there with my favourite players of all time. I still feel gutted when I watch old videos of him playing for us.
But there is no way that I would want to see our fans singing his name during the game.
He should get a cheer when his name is read out at kick-off and then maybe a song after full-time, and that's it.
And FFS, whatever we do, DON'T boo him!!

Completely agree with those 3 sentences. You have to think, what would our players be thinking if their very own fans are chanting the name of the most deadliest player on the opposition team? Played for us or not, I'd be quite embarrassed if we sang his chant DURING the game.
Cheer for him when his name is called out, and give him a round of applause at the end of the game because he will inevitably be going towards us home fans as well as the travelling Madrid fans.
Finally, even though I don't think many had this in their minds, booing him would be crazy. We may have booed Beckham a bit, but I'm sure he would understand that it's banter. Ronaldo - we still want him to join us
Last thing we want is to him to take it the wrong way.Hopefully I'll get tickets for this one, as it's way after my exams
It will be special seeing him again.I didn't mean don't boo him because of the (very slim) chance of him coming back.
My point was, every opposition fan in The Premier League booed him whilst he was with us and he fecking loves it! It makes him play better. We know this!

Does no one else think it will be a tad cringe worthy if our fans sing his name? I'm all for respecting previous players that have given us so many memories, but on a night when Ronaldo is trying to knock us out of the CL, I can't help think singing his name over the United players on the pitch is just wrong.
I would expect a nice cheer for him when the names are announced, then nothing more! This is fecking war, and let's not forget that Ronaldo will be doing his best score as many goals as possible against us.

The 2 people that posted just above you.
Reading the thread is the way forward...
I know, I have just read back. I came steaming in the thread and just posted without reading. I thought the thread would still be on the same track as yesterday when I was reading.It will be hilarious if he scores, what will our fans do? cheer? cry? laugh?
some people wont have any idea.
Not if, more like when.
It won't be hilarious in the slightest, because it could knock us out of the CL.
He's the enemy for 90 minutes, I hope all the supporters remember that.
fecking too right. feck Ronaldo and his ivory tower for 180 minutes.
If, not when, Ronaldo scores at OT our fans will react no differently than they would if anyone else scored against us. MUFC fans are not pussies.
Ronaldo will have to dive once or twice to make some fans stop singing about him.To have had him as a player was fantastic but as an opponent I have no worry about me hating and abusing him from my living room.That's the nature of the game
That match against Milan was already dead. This match should be us vs Real Madrid and to knock these cnuts out. This isn't a Ronaldo home coming soap opera.
Will he celebrate?
No chance.
Doubt he will because of his respect towards the club and the manager.
I personally would not mind him celebrating a little as long as it is not something similar to the Adebayor celebration.
I reckon he would celebrate, not in Old Trafford though. He celebrated vs. Lisbon when he scored against them in Old Trafford, not in Portugal though. If I remember...
Aye that's right. It was still quite muted though.
He'll take a dive in the box in the 90th and the great Caf Ronaldo love affair will be over.
Are you sure that he celebrated against Lisbon?
Because the Guardian claim otherwise.

He definitely did. Was a free kick iirc.
He scored a diving header in Lisbon right? And then a freekick at home? Or did he score two in Lisbon?
Declined to celebrate at first, then Ando convinced him.
He celebrated at OT but not in Lisbon.
It will be hard for him not to celebrate if he scores a vital goal in the second led IMO.

Some people defended Bale's diving, I can't imagine what kind of excues would be said if Ronaldo does that.
I will applaud him when his name is read out, then I will call him a diving shithouse until the final whistle goes.
He didn't celebrate either, dragged out the 07/08 dvd last night to remember some of his finer moments in Red.
The guy is a class act and i for one hope he gets a great reception on his return...then i hope we destroy his club and dreams of winning Euro cup with Madrid.
Cannot wait for tie on March fifth. thinking about booking two days off work so i can have a proper drink.
