"For FFS"
Don't give a shit about Rio. But how Ten Hag managed to find himself a rainbow teleportation portal is beyond me. Man is very talented.
That's the quality of pundits we're listening to. I think he used google translate for that tweet.Easily done to TBH.
He's returning from his role as Ming the Merciless in another galaxy.
This forum outdoes itself at every turn.Fact. Vidic is an all time United great.
They all wanted poch anyways.
I don't know why the hell these pundits can't see that Ronaldo of 2022 is not the GOAT-level force you must accommodate into your side at any cost. Ten Hag has legitimate reasons for leaving him out of our best side and this talk of 'disrespect' and 'the manager needs to do this and that' is embarrassing beyond belief.
This post seems needless.Not rio talking about communication… did he communicate to his dying wife that he was cheating behind her back? Didn’t this guy make a documentary too about her?
Rio talking crap about Ronaldo doesn’t make him a worse player or worse than Vidic ffs.
Both Rio and Keane have come across as idiots recently.
Or - more than that, actually. They've come across as pathetic. Piers Morgan territory pathetic.
With Keano, you could say there's an added element of...I dunno, projection (in the extreme). Which is also pathetic (to be brutal, or mean), but at least understandable (psychologically) to some extent.
There's a complete lack of analysis (of how Ronaldo actually functions as a player under ETH). All flimsy nonsense about "disrespect" and pure speculation (I doubt very much that Rio is privy to how ETH has dealt with Ronaldo on a man-management level) about a "lack of communication".
Extremely poor from so-called pundits: that's what they are paid to be. Most of what they've been saying on the matter is indistinguishable from the pure drivel of random Ronaldo fanboys on Twitter.
Say what you will about Gary Neville - but the difference between his comments on the Ronaldo situation and Rio's (or Keano's) is obvious.
Absolutely. Keane is convinced that United treated him shoddily at the end of his career. Which is probably untrue but a resentment he’ll carry with him to the grave. All of his complaining about Ronaldo’s treatment is very clearly much more about the end of his own United career.
He almost went full Mike Bassett."For FFS"
Rio made every defender that played with him look good. He was unreal.Fact is Rio made him better, and his type of profile is easier to find (Kim, Koulibaly, Rudiger) than Rio (VVD).
Unfortunately a few ex players backing up one of their boys turns some of the caf to have a go at their playing career .This forum outdoes itself at every turn.
Rio is well off the mark with this subject but acting like Rio wasn’t an absolute Rolls Royce if a player is laughable. If Vidic is an all time great then Rio is by any measure. Idiotic post.
Because they know him personally. Its always different when you've known someone for two decades and communicate with them regularly, compared with what the media and fans are saying.

The ability to play football and to analyse and articulate are not, it seems, closely relatedRio talking crap about Ronaldo doesn’t make him a worse player or worse than Vidic ffs.
Rio can give us the skinny on what it was like to work with such a great player and what a joy it was to watch him develop firsthand (I'd be there all day to hear that) but if you're denying reality you should be called out for it.

Vidic was always better.
He lost a crucial header against midget Messi, soRio talking crap about Ronaldo doesn’t make him a worse player or worse than Vidic ffs.
I used to make this point all the time but it’s in the ex players interest for United to not get back to the top because it kind of keeps them in lucrative jobs, they’re there because fans buy into these rants and ‘arguments’ that are basically what Sky has become because they’re ex players. It wouldn’t really work if you had someone without a United affiliation going off on one about the club, it’d just be weird.
They’ve done it consistently and caused so many off the field issues for every manager bar Ole it’s a real disgrace. Anyone who has any basic understanding of football can see Ronaldo is nowhere near where he needs to be to play for a team who hope to challenge for CL football whilst also rebuilding, anyone over the age of about 5 understands how the ageing process works. Rio is an idiot.
On top of that we’ve got the likes of Souness licking his lips trying to stick the knife in on ETH. It’s a positive in a way as the ABU brigade are starting to spend a lot of time talking about Utd again. It’s a sign we’re heading in the right direction.
Ironically I’ve not heard Souness talk about Liverpool much recently or Redknapp talking about his beloved Conte at Spurs. Plenty to say about Utd though.
Vidic was always better.
Rio was brilliant for us and a proper United legend, but Vidic was the colossus of our back line and in fact the colossus of our entire squad which included names like Ronaldo, Rooney, Giggs and Scholes.
Not that it casts any shadow on Rio's brilliant playing career, but the man has turned into quite the muppet in his post-playing career.
Rio is and always will be the better player.
No. Only Neville.Is he dead to the caf now?
