You'd be surprised. It's only a few in this board; but they are the most vocal.
Cristiano Ronaldo

You're fecking with me.Ronaldo is the ultimate professional. Won't be surprised to see him at his peak physically till he is 32 or 33.
It's exactly what I'd want from someone at our club, to be honest - RVP, for example. Respect to the former club, acknowledgement of the debt to them, then a nice firm declaration that the current club are better and are going to win.
That game at OT is going to be unmissable. I would really love to knock them out. Would give Ronaldo a reminder that no player is bigger than Manchester United.
It would be good to see our number 7 score since he used to have that shirt number and he still does.
Why does he need a reminder?
Let's just try and win so as to stay in the competition, and leave the smalltime stuff to the dippers.
I've really been enjoying watching Real fail this season. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Barça, but just seeing José Mourinho's face when they are down is precious.
Ronaldo is just a casualty of that in my view. It's bad news for him, but good for us. The worse they do, the more chance we've got of snatching him at some stage. Hopefully he's showing the admiration for our club and manager to let us know he'd consider us when the time comes.
edit: ... and to agree with Brightonian, lets get them beaten. They're not at the top of their game. It's a good opportunity.

I'm sure vP has the same idea.
How would that work if he came back to us? Who's our number 23? we could maybe give him that.

Just watched testing Ronaldo on the states on fox soccer channel... I miss that lad....
I wish people like you would stop going around calling every comment you disagree with "RAWKish" or a "dipper". It pisses me off to no end.
And don't twist what I said by deleting some of it. That's not WHY I want to win, it was a separate point and it would just be a nice bonus.
Ronaldo is the key to the outcome of our slugfest with Real. Should we contain him, we go through. Should we not, Real go through. It's that simple.
There's no one United player about whom the same can be said. Contain RvP, Rooney goes wild and vice versa. I still don't even rule out the possibility of Nani having a surprisingly massive impact on the tie, but I concede that may be more hope than expectation. Still, we've seen niblets of the old Nani and I refuse to accept the possibility that he'll backslide on us when we take the pitch at the Bernabeau.

His goal tonight for Portugal.
What a pass from Coentrao and then Ronaldo does what he does. What a player!
Is it Valencia he does there?
Picked up an injury tonight, didn't he?
I think he's carrying an injury and it looked like he either aggravated it or picked up a knock tonight.
Ronaldo or Valencia?
Ronaldo. He will be fine for the CL game though.
Ronaldo.
Ronaldo or Valencia?
Erm...
Well... heads would want him to be out of our game (him being a threat and all), but hearts wants him to be playing fit and on form so that we can have a match we'd be longing to see for a long time
The big european nights.
Bet a fiver he'll shed some tears whomever comes out the winner after 2nd leg

That Portugese black kit looks sexy
I hope he'll be out, I honestly don't care about the sentiment of him playing vs his former club.Whatever increases United's chances to beat Real Madrid works for me
Hmm.. Valencia scored a goal in the same match and Ecuador beat Portugal
Go Valencia, you hero
Exactly! This is not a club friendly where they share drinks at half-time. This is a crucial match in a crucial stage of the Champions league. There is no room for sentiment and whether he is there to play or not, is of little importance. We beat them, we go through, simple as. He has moved on to pastures new, some cannot even let the past go.
He has dismissed concerns regarding his ankle problems. So now you can hope we just try and do everything to contain him.
We have a better chance against him and Real Madrid than we did against Messi and Barcelona that is for sure. Real Madrid do not play possession football in the sense like Barcelona so, we will see a great deal of the ball. It is what we do with it that counts, with or without Ronaldo playing against us.
I hope we kick his fecking ankle in the first minute and he hobbles off and misses both legs. But that would mean starting Scholes...
It's not good to wish injury on any player, but if he gets injured fairly, surely puts a lot of pressure on other madrid players.
I hope he misses both games.
Yeah but my previous was more about making a point rather really hoping for his absence.Let's just say that if he were to get injured during the match (except for a truly horrible injury), I wouldn't feel sorry for him
nahh, hope he plays.
As a fan I like to see United play against the best teams and players, winning would be even more sweet.

Oh dear. I've lost just a bit of respect for the great man. A man scoring 50+ a season isn't unplayable?
Aye, I imagine it would be hard to concentrate on the match if you were masturbating.
