    Never thought that Lukaku interview would be topped. What an absolute weapon. Odds on for Boehly to bring him in

    With Piers Morgan of all people. What a mong.

    Hopefully someone snaps his legs at the World Cup so he can't get a move.

    No surprise on Ronaldo. The man is in denial about his current ability and all he has is moaning.

    That useless Pep lookalike made him captain a week after he walked out on the team and supporters, buzzing to see what masterstroke he has up his sleeves this time.

    He’s got a point. If you’re taking a stand as a manager then take it and front up to it - don’t bend over and be a complete pussy about it all only a couple of weeks later. Weak in the extreme.

    Especially as that interview had almost certainly already been given at the time and the club must have known about it.

    He's apparently been a professional in training throughout and perhaps there's a case that ten Haag wants to keep an experienced pro in the group. But Ronaldo is an ego unto his own (i don't agree with him being made Captain either)

    Beat QPR at the weekend so now we're the best team in the entire division over the last 10 games, including four straight wins with no goals conceded and what's already a club record for consecutive away clean sheets. A month ago I was hoping we'd survive into the break and not be last, now instead it's disrupting what's a bizarre hot run of form and we're just outside the playoffs still with games in hand.

    I thought the Paddy Power one probably was but I guess they love the "banter" so there's also a good chance it's not. I assumed Taz's wasn't.

    This is a weird take, even based on yesterday's performance. He got done for pace by James a couple of times, but he was fine otherwise. He's been superb generally, although much better when he's got a competent partner.

    They should have terminated Ronaldo's contract really, but if not he should have been training with the kids, or as an absolute minimum probably not starting games as captain, mental decision.

    I said I didn't want him back at the time. IDK why everyone has gaslit themselves into believing I was a supporter of the idea.

    Betting Taz that he'd outscore the entirety of Liverpools front 3 at the time may have something to do with it.

    Now suckle.

    I said he'd score goals and that he wasn't THE PROBLEM at Juventus. As usual I was right on both counts. I still wasn't a supporter of him coming back.

    Yeah it's a bit of a turnaround from the odd spot when they'd played loads less games and had the odd stat of having loss less games than top of the table Blackburn.

    This seems like the obvious impasse, and easily doable from his end. The saddest thing about all of this is doing it through an interview with Piers Morgan on whatever that rinky-dink channel is. Surely just throwing something up on Instagram would have had more impact.

    Judging from that performance, he was very poor in my opinion, especially considering the injuries we have up front and on the wings. I've not watched all of United's games this season so it could be the outlier but it really seemed like we were able to put him under pressure and force a lot of mistakes, especially in the 2nd half.

    Utd were willing to let him go without a fee in the summer other than to a league rival. He just can't deal with the fact that nobody wanted/wants him.

    I can see Ronaldo spending his dotage on ever-more-tragic quests into the murk. Crypto, starting his own short-lived social media network, a terrible two-year stint as Portugal coach which ends with failure to qualify after a 1-1 draw in Moldova, photoshoots with various oppressive regimes, and finally being voted 2nd to Messi in some kind of FIFA Player of the Century gala in 2050 and shooting himself.

    The "he's a good boy" line is probably a bit misjudged (although I think he deserves some allowances for speaking in his second language) but I don't think there's actually anything wrong with the sentiment of what he's saying.

    He is meant to give an account of what he has personally seen of the person's character and that's what he's done. He's not meant to say what he thinks about the accusations or judge whether he thinks they are true or not.

    Pep knows his football, that's undoubted, but everything outside of the sport he really seems off on.

    Hopefully there can be some sort of mass effort to oust Pep from City, this could be as good an opportunity as any. Would make the football landscape a much more interesting place.

    I was somewhat taken aback by the comparison of him and Gabriel Jesus this season.

    Nunez definitely feels like a bit of a throwback player. Doesn't give off the air of control than stains modern high performance footballers.

    Is he obligated to come give a character reference in defence of a serial rapist or did he agree to do so knowing he would only praise his majestic left foot crossing ability and watermelon smile?

    Yeah not standing for that, you and Giggles are done dropping racist shit. Sick of it. 24 hour ban. New rule that will apply to everyone that somehow can't be 1970s level of national front in their conversation. Thanks.

    Literally the first ban that isn't Harold since this version of the forum existed. Truly impressive.

    Managers always come and give character references for their players. King Kenny did it at Stevie G's laughable scouse affray trial, and Alex Ferguson did it quite recently for someone or other.

    Was hammer not banned on this forum anyway? And unless hammer was Harold then it just means he’s talking out of his hole yet again.
