He's one of the greatest players of all time who's spent well over a decade being the focal point and best player in his teams. He's finding it hard to handle that he's not that at ten Hag's United, even though he could still play a role in certain games and situations. But also, he's a stupid cunt who handled it like a child and ten Hag's response has been fantastic. Not just to this, but the way he's used him this season. Took ten Hag a couple of games to figure out this mob, that's all. He's not going to take any shit from anyone and have his reputation ruined like Rangnick let his be. They're paying Ronaldo for the man he is now, not for the player who's the greatest of all time. If he only wants to play on terms that suit him, and they can't get a buyer at the level he thinks he is and wages preclude a free transfer, then Mutual Consent him and make that bolsheht his problem.

Keith Houchen Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 Old Trafford is ahead of the curve, you don’t need noise cancelling headphones if there’s no noise.
Paid Members PunkStep Posted October 25, 2022 Paid Members Posted October 25, 2022 Always knew there was something I disliked about Wrexham https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63385682
Butch2000 Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 Yeah it’s tucking awful. There’s been a load of kickback about it. The boots were absolutely beautiful. However thousands of us at the racecourse tonight singing “Fuck the Tories” made the views of the supporters known to the club
The Curious Orange Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 He'd have got a ban or fine from the FA for wearing them in a game though? Do Wrexham want to build some stuff? I reckon that's why they've gone a all OTT in that statement and don't want anyone on the council kicking off.
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted October 26, 2022 Paid Members Posted October 26, 2022 Difficult one for Wrexham as a club - I'd have re-worded the statement slightly (no need for the 'politically neutral' line) but it's not the worst course of action they could have taken. Those club statements - usually accompanied by a shot of a corner flag* are just pure, over-professionalised fluff and a box ticker. They haven't fined him or banned him - and they've probably done him a favour if anything - he hopefully avoids an FA ban/fine and it inadvertently makes him even more of a legend on the terraces. Any negative PR towards the club will be forgotten about by the next news cycle or the next game. *Fun fact - when there's been something serious in the snooker, WST tweet a picture of a corner pocket to go with the statement. Always tickles me.

Yeah, we’re after funding from levelling up for a new stand.
Paid Members PunkStep Posted October 28, 2022 Paid Members Posted October 28, 2022 So, Antony has a favoured spin skill he likes to use. Last night he did a DOUBLE SPIN, and if you listen to some pundits you'd think he'd just fucked their wife and spat in their face afterwards. Robbie Savage labelled him 'embarrassing' (a word he must be incredibly familiar with) and the perennial unhappy Paul Scholes was unhappy with it. Was the skill necessary? Absolutely not. Did it help his team's cause? Nope. Was it good to see? You bet your arse it was. More please, Antony.
Members SuperBacon Posted October 28, 2022 Members Posted October 28, 2022 Nah, Savage was right, that was fucking embarrassing. Showboating, especially shithouse showboating needs to be done at the right time in the game to be effective, not 0-0 on 37 minutes. What made it even worse was the pass afterwards. Woeful.
Mr_Danger Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 It’s a win win for me. You absolutely want to see £90m Brazilian forwards do that sort of thing but even more so you want to see Man United players making that pass afterwards. I just wish Roy Keane was in to give us his levelled feed back on it.
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted October 28, 2022 Paid Members Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) If I can do the same skill it doesn't really count as being a great entertainer. Especially against Moldovan opposition. Pull off a La Gravesinha in a competitive league, then you can call yourself an "artist". Edited October 28, 2022 by CleetusVanDamme
Members SuperBacon Posted October 31, 2022 Members Posted October 31, 2022 There is nothing new under the sun that can be written or said about Italia 90 (reminder to read Pete Davies All Played Out/One Night In Turin if you haven't) but the new Channel 4 doc was decent and worth a watch. The nostalgia still burns bright. Schifo, Hagi and Matthaus 4eva.
