I'm not personally blaming Ronaldo for Juventus not winning the league last year, but La Liga was a 3 horse race with some strong Barcelona, Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid sides whilst Ronaldo was there. It's not comparable. Messi has been the topscorer in la liga in the 3 previous seasons and was topscorer and broke assist record in a single season as well without Barcelona winning it. The overall quality of the team, manager and synergy obviously matters as well apart from the star player.
But in terms of final standing, it’s the same.

Sure LL during 2010s is much stronger with Messi/Barca and Ronaldo/Real both in their peak. But discussion had been whether Ronaldo was failure at Juventus during his time there (past 3 years). If he is, so is Messi (past 3 years).

Reason being, since 2018, his main rival Ronaldo is gone and Real becomes considerably weaker, and later Barca also bought Atletico’s best player Griezmann and Atletico becomes considerably weaker too. With 7 titles already won in past decade and their main rival getting considerably weaker, Messi Barca should run away with LL titles, but they didn’t.

Guy I know who works at the megastore just text me to say he had been told to print some Ronaldo 7 shirts by Woodward. Make of that what you will.

Woody is such a great CEO, in touch with all his employees.

Has he also called the canteen staff to make his favourite chicken dish for lunch next week ;)

Doesn’t matter a feck. His fans will be Madrid fans now or trickled over to Juve. Hidden away in Italy hasn’t done him any favours. I haven’t seen Juve rise in popularity to be honest

Griezmann and most of their signings have been flops and their managers have been wank.

From a purely footballing POV, would Ronaldo even suit us right now? Like if the alternative wasn't him going to City, would we really want him?
In the hypothetical that Cavani is pretty much going to be unavailable because he wants to play for Uruguay so will constantly be in quarantine, then yeah Ronaldo for Cavani makes sense.

Probably so people can burn them tbf. Smart by Woodward.
He also had his address printed on them so they can be burned right outside his house.

Double smart. He'll sell the lot and be quids in while also be made look like a victim. The man's a genius.

All over the place
Bluemoon is currently on fully-blown meltdown over the odds thing, Rio tweet and some their ITK guy with bs connections :lol:

This place looks like nothing but rationality and common sense compared to them.

He is an absolute dickhead. Knows nothing and is happy to monetise any aspect of United that he can for his own gain. I mean, the twat (via his "matchday experience package") was charging gullible tourists to take them to the pub ffs.

It's a shame that bellend features in every one of Rio's vids on his FIVE channel. Had to unsub, literally can't watch anything with him or McKola in without feeling nauseous.

Nothing concrete yet, UTD can still get him. Come on, do something - especially with the Cavani and Rashford situations

If he's going to City (after having been moulded by United and SAF) then he can't undersatnd what is right in this world and what makes you a man of integrity.
It's useless being Maradona and being a shite character - Pele on the other hand was always a gentleman not only a great player.
So yes he's a weirdo, traitor, twat etc etc etc.
Relax. It's football, he didn't hurt anybody.

Now you mention it, does Sterling, aka @sterling7, have to give up his shirt number for this City move to happen? That’s a promising start for squad harmony. Now I want it to happen.
