You'll be torn if he plays, won't you? Ronaldo or United, hmmm.
Talk about obsession.
People just seem at times to have their heads stuck so deep inside their own countries behinds they don't realise football is also played elsewhere, and at a very good level. English tend to be very good at it. Bale better than Ronaldo? Deary me.
No, just that Real Madrid look awful whenever Ronaldo doesn't play thus greatly increases our chances of progressing.
Stelling's dropped an absolute clanger there. 
Yeah right, you'll be on your feet applauding and somewhat comforted if he were to score the goals that knocked United out
That's interesting actually. Ronaldo being the player to knock us out really would soften the blow for Cal?

Laughing at your own assumption without an ounce of proof nowadays?Cyber-bullying from Brwned and co. I see.
I'll take you at your word Cal as I'm certain you'd love him to miss the games and for United to win. Being a massive Ronaldo fan myself I'd love nothing more than him to miss both games through injury. Why.... well, cause I support Manchester United, go figure.

cyber bullying Just a bit of fun.
I hope he plays both games and you beat them with Madrid having no excuses.

i dont fear him,he lacks pace and power
It's common sense in fairness. You want Manchester United to win every game no matter what the circumstances, so I've no doubt you'd prefer he didn't play at all. If we were to lose to anyone though, you'd rather your favourite player would benefit in the process. There's no upside to someone like Benfica putting us out. If Madrid put us out then Ronaldo staying in the tournament (and staying in with a chance of that Ballon d'Or) is obviously an upside. Simple really. The only proof you need is the 1000s of posts on Ronaldo from you.
Pretty much. He's also very playable. They should've bought Bale, bunch of ignorant wankers.

In that case it's not really that interesting is it. It's just the same as it would be for anyone and their favorite player whether it is Messi, Iniesta, Ribery or whoever.
So basically no different to the many who appear delighted that it was Messi & Barca who beat us in those 2 finals?
Some have insinuated that I'd rather Real win cos of Ronaldo, which is completely untrue. However, if we were to go out, would I rather we lost to Real rather than Barca? Think that's pretty obvious too...
Well said
I think it's interesting simply because I hadn't thought it through before. It's interesting to me that it's seen as a normal thing to have a favourite player that doesn't play for your team. I really can't imagine what it's like to have your favourite player knock your team out, it'd be a strange combination of emotions for sure. "fuuuuuuuuuuuuck", "see, told you he was amazing".
Pesonally, I don't really have any favorite players outside United. Heck, I don't think I have a favorite player at United either. But I don't think it's "abnormal" to really like a non United player. In fact, I don't like the use of the word normal with this sort of stuff. To each his own.
Infact, if anything, having a favorite player who became your favorite player through their time AT United seems like a pretty natural thing to happen.
I really can't imagine a 20 year old due to store football matches from yonder years, and trying to know players in the 50's hoping to play drafts too.
What do I know, it did make you a mod though.
Ouch! Below the belt, fish.
I don't know Giggsy, it's a bit odd when Brwned is telling off others about supporting a favourite player not in the same team. He seems to know about Burruchaga as much as Georgie Best.
That cuts me deep, man. I'll be in tears for the rest of the day. Now I see the depths of despair this cyber-bullying can cause, I feel obliged to apologise to Cal?. Hopefully we'll both pull through in the end.
All of you stop this madness!
Well, it didn't, but you can think that anyway. Can you imagine people watching films that were made before they were born, or from an older time purely because they enjoy watching movies? It's not really that hard to imagine is it.
And how's that the same as obsessing over a player who applies his trade in a different country? I find player worship more than a tad strange for anyone over the age of 18.
Anyway time to stick on Sunset Blvd... I know more about that film than I do The Hobbit.
feck the olden days.
the 1950s movie? i watched it three days ago. great movie
How did that work out against Barca in both CL finals ? I sure didn't enjoy it facing all those great players and how they humiliated the team
It's gay, isn't it?
I hope you pull through. And Cal? too.
I'd think that it's a bit tedious than collecting movies. Moreover, I would still find it difficult to see, with me probably knowing the result. You can make a case for reading the synopsis of the movie, but still I don't really think it's the same.
I do have a collection of old movies, and a collection of United highlights downloaded from our United video threads, mind you.
What are you talking about? For your age, Sunset Blvd sounds right
Everybody knows Cal? likes Ronaldo. His post seemed fairly innocuous anyway and didn't seem like he's making a life or death choice between United and Ronaldo. I'm not sticking up for him anyway, with all this Henry and Ronaldo nonsense, Cal? hardly needs anybody to stick up for him.
The mod team to the rescue. Breaks my heart to see so much camaraderie.
That's not really the same thing though Hectic. Watching movies and watching sports events is entirely different.
What the feck are people banging on about? What wrong with watching an old football game? I agree that its not much different from watching an old movie.
Nothing wrong with it at all imo. But it's entirely different from watching an old movie, that was my only point.
Jesus fecking Christ. It was a bit of mild pisstaking.
Bad indeed…but Real are not on the same level as Barcelona, and we are better than Real IMO.
Obviously it would enhance our chances of winning if Ronaldo is out, that’s not really my point and I understand why some people hope Ronaldo doesn’t play.
But you have to admit a win with Ronaldo playing would be sweeter…
I don't know, I gues I just don't see look at things from the same perspective as you.Knocking Real Madrid would be sweet, whoever plays or doesn't for them matters little to me
Same here. Couldnt care less who plays for them and would be delighted if ronaldo was to miss both legs.
You are so obsessed. I don't think many people were "delighted". More a sense of appreciating a good performance.
It's like saying the whole of Old Trafford was delighted that Fat Ronaldo knocked us out in 03 because he received a standing ovation.
