Got up today to the news of city signing Ronaldo. Well p***sed off. My dad texted me this afternoon asking me what i thought about the latest Ronaldo news. So disgusted i didnt reply. Was home after work and oblivious to the news when a mate texted me. WTF. I cant remember a transfer day like this in supporting United over 40 years. I cant believe we havent seen "she cannae take the strain" -:)

Berbatov in 2008 comes to mind. That was a mental day on TV as well as on here when I was lurking as a non-member.

Winning UCL in 2008 was better.

However, in strictly 'wtf', exiting news out of the blue, this takes the cake.

Different emotion - but Ferguson retiring. I remember the night before, rumours were rife and a lot of updates, but none of us believed it. Then morning came.

Of recent times, the Super League turnaround was a wild ride over a couple of hours. Protests, twitter going nuts, Woody's resignation.

YESHHHHH, We'll GOOO for it.
Don't post that much as I used to but I hang out with some caf regulars on phone groups and was a terrific day ever since OGS press conference dropped!!

Winning UCL in 99 and in Russia is still the best, topped off with 'What's going on with Sergio Canales these days'.

The Super League days are the only time that it has been as wild.

Man Utd Instagram gained 1.5million followers after announcing Ronaldo. The guy is the most followed person on instragram and everyone knows him.
This was the biggest story worldwide today. My mother who doesn’t watch football rang me and asked did I see it.
Never seen the Caf so happy ever than today it’s just a incredible story and it’s one if not the greatest player ever coming home.
