would you call The Championship in England crap? I know the temperature be stronger, I’m just trying to gauge what you would define as crap.
Championship is not crap, why?

As a fan of another club, it does make me laugh when I click legend is mocked for taking a humbling step done. I can’t imagine the regulars at Old Trafford having anything but positive to say about Ronaldo overall. Definitely not the ones I’ve spoken to throughout the years anyway.
You missed the interview and all that stuff?

I’m happy for him to have found his retirement home. Really wish he’d left us on a higher note last summer though.

i’ve done some calculations and if he was on the pitch against leeds and scored 4, we’d have won 6-2 instead of drawing. imagine that extrapolated over the rest of the season? starting every game with a 4 goal advantage. erik, what have you done?

I bet the same people frothing at the mouth to disregard these goals were also creaming when Ronaldo scored against Conference Premier legends Exeter City back in 2005.

I suppose that was different wasn't it.

Wasn't it.

You don't have to imagine it.

He did an interview where he slagged off the club and our very very popular new manager so he could leave. I don't know why you're shocked Utd fans wouldn't be too keen on him after that. Especially not in the immediate aftermath.

Ten Haag already before had stated that Ronnie was free to leave in Jan anyway so that interview was completely unnecessary and damaged his United legacy and fanbase.

It was, and no one was jizzing their pants over Ronaldo's 3rd round FA Cup performances against Exeter back in 2005. They were jizzing their pants over the fact that it looked very likely we had a real gem at our hands.

I'm totally indifferent to what he does in Al'Nassr, that sportswashing project is best ignored and forgotten.... He plays in a league on par with the Finish 1. division is all I need to know.

Except in the premier league, he would've been stopped anyway and his stiff legs will fail him here.
Tbf he really wasn't suited to playing centre forward much at all, his whole career he played off a centre forward, he wasn't up to playing an out and out winger anymore, but I think the game away to spurs where he played off cavani, then again one of the CL game where he scored a last minute winner again was with cavani playing, but he's not the type of player that's great at hold up play or with his back to goal. I think people confuse being a great goalscorer with being able to play as a centre forward well

That's a strong Korean domination.
Good to know! I think the most decorated side is a Saudi team, Al Hilal. I think all those 6 are won by them.

How many cars you got you bastard?
How many businesses have you built up single handedly in the West Midlands ya cheap little punk!
Reporter: Do you think you'll learn Arabic Cristiano?

Ronaldo: Nao, nao, nao. There's no need to learn the lingo. The only language these people understand is MONAAAY!!

Quite surprising giving the fact that japanese clubs, the arab countries clubs and chinese clubs(well, not at the moment) invest much more money on transfers and wages, but I guess money doesn't buy everything.

Watch his 1st goal. What is the CB with the number 6 doing there?? You don‘t see this kind of defending in sunday league.
Has to be fixed. I have no other explanation..
Before the pass to Ronaldo is played he even looks behind him and can see that there is no opposition player near.

Also read that the oppositions GK works part time as a construction worker. This is all so surreal

It just all looked so easy for him. No challenge at all.

Can't see anyone frothing at the mouth at him here. Just a few people laughing at the fact that he's now playing at a similar level to the Conference.

If he can win the Arabic league he will again have a case as the GOAT. If he ends up as the top scorer there also then there is no debate.

So this is the 66th strongest league anyway right?. Anyway funny the GOAT tag is still trending on twitter after he put 4 past a construction worker. At least he wasnt a farmer.

Is the GK really a part time construction worker?

I have thought long and hard about this. Ronaldo's thought process: Messi won the World Cup. South Africa won against Argentina in the World Cup. If I win South African league, me > Messi.

That's why his siu was so loud and prideful. He is closer to his goal of becoming the best football player.

Not for me. Not after he referred to himself as a slave playing for us and then pulled the stuff he did this season
As I said, he has made questionable choices. He has a big ego, and people with big egos are generally very sensitive. I also think he was manipulated by Piers Morgan. The fact he was able to be manipulated says a lot about either his personality or his awareness, or maybe a bit of both. I'm not going to just dismiss everything he did for us in the past, even if his current legendary status is more 'ex'

Assisted both goals today in a 2-1 win.

I wonder if he'd be happy to come back if the new owners upgrade the jacuzzi?
