He's actually been effective as a leader.. never thought I'd be saying that about Ronnie but even his cheerleading down the touchline was quality and more entertaining than his football.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

He's become a pretty good leader too.
Happy he's got an international trophy to his collection.

He performed in one game in Euros and was a passenger in CL final but will probably win Ballon d'Or based on what his teams won for him.
Clattenburg / Ronaldo 
CL title and CL topscorer and Euro title, will make the team of the Euros,too.Based on tonight?
I say that in relation to your first sentence not the last.
Real shame he couldn't play the whole game.
There was no real standout player. Suarez was probably the best player this year though but doubtful he will get the balon d'or
2 games. Both Hungary and Semis he contributed significantly. The guy who won 2014 world cup player of tournament did feck all in knockouts of world cup yet won it.
UCL top scorer and the UCL win too.Based on tonight?
I say that in relation to your first sentence not the last.
I think Suarez has been the best player, but his rep will probably prevent him from winning.
He was absolutely awful in the CL final and won it on penalties and barely played in the Euro final.
Whether you're a fan of him or not shouldn't change the fact he wasn't even that good at this tournament. Great in the Hungary game and quiet in the rest.
I despise everything international football stands for now. It just goes to show you that narratives are set in stone regardless of logic.
I guess we can safely say now he's the greatest of his time
Suarez should definitely get it and I say that as Messi's biggest fan. And I agree that his reputation will prevent it, sadly.
He didnt win the Ballon d'Or that year though. Ronaldo hasnt been the best player in the world this year.
Suarez was, Messi was also better over this year.
Really?
He already was in that bracket before this 6 weeks of trophies, for me anyway.
Buzzing for him.
Not sure how he ended up shirtless again when he'd gone off before half time.
Yeah but international football...
Never mind his team were terrible, only won one game in 90 minutes and finished third behind Hungary and Iceland
Cements his legacy up there with Maradona and Pele now
I'm sorry for you, mate. Winning tournaments doesn't boil down to starring in the finals. He scored 16 goals in the CL, 51 goals in all compets for Real, helped Portugal to win the Euros. That will be enough, you can quote me.
What?
He didn't even play for majority of the game. Eder scored the winner, Eder > Van Basten.I'm well happy for him, even though he didn't play the full final, without him they wouldn't of got there in the first place.
Nor is he a tax dodging midget.

Well done ronaldo.
chuffed to bits for him to lift a trophy with his country fully deserved

How do you know he doesnt tax dodge? Because he hasn't been caught?
My point was, Messi and Ronaldo are too big names now and hence even when they don't exactly deserve personal trophies (occasionally), they are given those just for who they are.
Happy for him. He's a legend and one of the greatest footballers of all time.
I know it'll be enough. He will win the Ballon d'Or now. It'll be completely undeserved, however.
His CL goals is a great stat but about half of them came against Malmo ffs.
Like I've said, Suarez should win it this year. We already know he won't.
There is nothing cringe inducing about that post at all. It is perfectly understandable actually.Cringe
Some people just talking rubbish. For Real, he turned up against Wolfsburg when they needed him, for Portugal he turned up against Hungary. Neither teams would have won both trophies without him getting them there.
Yeah these trolls in here are all still in denial.
I thought you need to lift the world cup for that?
Different measures for different players I guess.
