That might well be true. Whenever I hear him on podcasts now he comes across as very jaded and bitter. Very much 'man shouts at cloud' vibes. Maybe I only notice him act like this when talking about Utd and Ole, but he might do it to other teams too.Have you read his book on United? I think he just hates the modern super clubs and what United have become. I somewhat understand that. This era of football isn’t one for anyone but a supporter of the big teams. This feels more like a lashing out at that than a legitimate criticism of what Ronaldo can still offer.
Great share @shaky. This needs to be circulated the world over just to demonstrate the abhorrent hypocrisy within the media. It's a fecking disgrace. His reputation should be through the floor. And yet this is so prevalent in today's clickbait-ridden mass media that it will be completely ignored. Sensationalist journalism at it's very worst."He may have lost a battle of fine margins with Romelu Lukaku in Seville, but at 36 Ronaldo has shown in this tournament he is still an asset to Portugal and beyond." "Ronaldo was top scorer in Serie A with 29 goals; Lukaku second with 24 (Lukaku was on the pitch for 82 minutes longer; both played just under 50 hours). There is an easy assumption that Ronaldo these days spends his time hanging around the opposing box, waiting for chances to be delivered, but it is not exactly true. He actually attempted 1,086 passes to Lukaku’s 765 last season..."

Cristiano Ronaldo held Juventus back. Just what do Manchester United see in him?
Jonathan Wilson, one month later, after Ronaldo joins Utd.
His ABUness is plain to see.
When there was a dispute on penalties Ole said after the game he left it down to the players. I believe that was pre-Bruno signing for us though. Very difficult to say no to Ronaldo. Personally I think he should be no where near penalties or FK with Bruno’s recent record.I have said that I don't think Ole is in the same level as Pep and Klopp in coaching but it's disrespectful to Ole to say that Ronnie is going to take all free kicks and penalties. It's Ole who decides that. Not a player. Not even Ronaldo. Pogba has won the World Cup but he doesn't take penalties or free kicks for United.
I couldn't agree any more strongly than with the part in bold.His body composition is not hard to pull off, maintaining vascularity And visible abs is also not haed given the right genetics. I won't get into body fat percentage because everyone thinks you mustbbe ten percent bf if u have visible abs.
His athletic ability I for sure don't have and most people that speak about his body always seem to be talking about it from an aesthetic perspective. And that's what my bone of contention is. He has the body of person in their thirties that looks after themselves and has a Decent diet.
The 'has a body of a 25 year old' is always weird for me to see as it's fairly easy to have a body like that past up into your 40s.
If we are talking about his athleticism, recovery rate, endurance, then sure he's absolutely a freak for his age. If that's what the sentence means then my bad but even you started to talk about BF percent which is only useful from an aesthetic point not so much body performance (unless it's too low or ridiculously high)
Honestly as far as Holt's articles go it's one of the better ones and if you can see past the headline it's actually quite balanced article with some decent points .Anyone read Ollie Holt's amonination this morning?
He is talking shit. We would have been in for a player of his calibre, and price, even if he wasn’t an ex player. Having his history with us just made it easier.Honestly as far as Holt's articles go it's one of the better ones and if you can see past the headline it's actually quite balanced article with some decent points .
I can’t listen to the Guardian’s football podcast when he’s on - never come across somebody so full of themselves and so full of their own opinion.There's a nastiness about Wilson's NUMEROUS pieces about Ole which are unpleasant.

That's not the point though. Point is just yesterday he wrote bringing Ronaldo back is a mistake and what do we even see in him cause he held Juventus back.He is right that there are no excuses this season.
Cups are cups - unlucky exits notwithstanding he needs to do well. He needs to get out of the CL group and have a good showing in the knockouts.
We need to be competitive in the title race with this squad. Winning is a big ask, but we should be in the conversation until the end this season.
yes that is true, but he can still think Ronaldo is 'past it' and with the additions of Sancho & Varane along with a 'declining' Ronaldo to the match day squad that we should be competitive this year, no excuses.That's not the point though.

Which papers should i be reading?Anyone who intentionally reads the daily mail should be ashamed of themselves
None are as bad as the Daily Mail.Which papers should i be reading?
The ExpressNone are as bad as the Daily Mail.
Not the daily heil, unless you've a problem with immigration, single mothers, poor people or anybody not white, rich and educated at Eton.Which papers should i be reading?
I’m personally of the opinion that a lot of printed media is outdated and useless, and most fans who depend on it do so in order to parrot other opinions that they can repeat to try & sound enlightened.Which papers should i be reading?
At least he seems to be saying a) that CR is an emotional signing that doesn't make United better and b) that with all the great signings United has made, we should now be title contenders.So he's saying it's Ole first real test?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Wright being a better pundit than Souness is mainly down to him being an intelligent person who can also construct full sentences.Ian Wright is a good impartial pundit. He is night and day compared to Grey Ham Sourness.
Anything less than League winners and CL semi finals and Solskjaer should be gone.So apparently Ronaldo is finished and United made a mistake signing him but signing him should make us title challengers.

The Guardian is the newspaper of the People. Nobody wants to hear about a working class club that slowly built their reputation brick by brick into something huge. They'd rather hear about government backed entities who go bankrupt but have their stadium sold back to them in dodgy deals, or new wealth yuppies who have billions of oil money tossed at them.I'll never understand why the Guardian perpetually hates us. We had Jamie Jackson for years and now a couple hit pieces from Wilson
Ha, as if the Comments section is something that ensures quality in reporting. It's the cesspool of humanity, and the Guardian made a good call there, in my opinion.The Guardian is the newspaper of the People.

It helps when they disable comments on their articles because their new editor decided a couple of years ago that Comment is Everything no longer applied to their outlet, so they can now report any old shite.
The problem is that their main strategy for articles turned into "this particular group of people are cnuts and I don't have to explain why", which should warrant the right for said group to defend themselves, rightly or wrongly.Ha, as if the Comments section is something that ensures quality in reporting.

I think that's a strange theory. Standards of argument in the Guardian seem to me if anything rather high compared to most of the UK press. The key, as it always has been since long before the internet was invented, is editorial standards. The notion that comments sections is some sort of useful tool for ensuring accountability and a platform for groups to be heard is in any case more than a little outside reality, if you ask me.The problem is that their main strategy for articles turned into "this particular group of people are cnuts and I don't have to explain why", which should warrant the right for said group to defend themselves, rightly or wrongly.
To expand and deepen debate - the main tenants of the Guardians original reason for having comments on their articles? Well, yeah... Not sure how you can't see how silencing debate by a newspaper that advocates the right to debate is a bit of a problem.And you think that would be taken care of by a comments section?
The online comments sections isn't "debate". It's just rubbish.To expand and deepen debate - the main tenants of the Guardians original reason for having comments on their articles? Well, yeah...

From that angle I completely understand where you're coming from. I think we're talking about different things though, as I'm purely just on a rant about the Guardian preventing me from spamming their articles with trollbait.I think that's a strange theory.
