Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,640 Posted August 27, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 27, 2021 Please refer to my earlier posts about "Harlem Globetrotter football". Utterly unexcited about where "CR7" decides is the best place to further his brand for the final few years of his career and even more unexcited about who Man City decide to pay 500k a week to hammer in hat tricks against Norwich. It baffles me how any neutral can find this aspect of football remotely interesting anymore. The Super League might as well just happen the way about half a dozen clubs have just been going on with their business this summer regardless.

Spike 5,085 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Why do Brits always say ‘wages’ when talking about football? I thought it was a salary because it is a fixed payment paid at fixed intervals and not hourly work that is paid out equivalent to time worked?

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Is Peter Schmeichal banned from Old Trafford then? Or is this mythical you can't play for Man Utd and Man City a new addition now Man City are the better club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United fans do hold a grudge with Schmeichel, he showed too much joy in beating us at Maine Road. He will always be respected for what he achieved with the club but he defo has a dark cloud over his head. Then you look at Law, he refused to celebrate his goal against us, simply walked off devastated. Ronaldo knows he'd be looking to make history at City, to me that makes what he's doing 100x worse.

Happy Blue 1,896 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Fabrizio Romano Cristiano Ronaldo has left Juventus training center after 40 minutes to say goodbye to his teammates. He only wants to leave the club in the next hours. #Ronaldo NO training today. Ronaldo is waiting for Mendes to bring the official bid as it’s still verbal with Man City.

Administrator Batard 2,534 Posted August 27, 2021 Administrator Share Posted August 27, 2021 The whole Ronaldo 'tainting' his legacy if he goes to City is really childish. If this was the other way round, I wonder whether this 'moral high-ground' would be being taken? I doubt it! Such a nonsense that screams of "No! It's not fair!". If United really wanted Ronaldo, they'd go get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,200 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Didn't United fans used to belittle the rivalry with City almost? Viewing Leeds and Liverpool as above them and it being more of a big day for City than for them? Or have I got that wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said earlier, he only had 3 decent seasons at United and left 12 years ago, he's a Real Madrid legend that used united as a stepping stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Batard 2,534 Posted August 27, 2021 Administrator Share Posted August 27, 2021 So the breaking news is that United contacted Mendes last night about Ronaldo. Be interesting to see whether he wants to go back to United as I would imagine that would have some weight ahead of City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
