The only way Ronaldo would have been a good signing would have been if they'd defied the odds and won something. In every other case, someone who will still be there in 2024 would have been superior.

Not much better but current European Champions and been to the final of every possible tournament under Tuchel lol. They’re a fair bit off the league but they’re not Man Utd bad.Originally Posted by niko_cee
To be fair, he was arguably stunting Mason Greenwood's progress early on.
2 times, we won it 2 times, against City . . .
United in truth only really signed Ronaldo to stop any potential move to City, which appeared his only other possible destination. Can you imagine a finisher of his calibre in that team?
That and if you get the chance to sign a player of Ronaldos quality you just dont turn it down. 36 or not.
He's the best player they have, even if that is only in the short term and they obviously signed him to win things, even if things meant the Europa league.
We've been a shambles the entire season. Thank God it's nearly done.
Ronaldo at City would have bagged us the title already and an easy route to CL glory.
Barely to be honest, seeing as they can get a maximum of 81 points this season which is on the (very) low end of title-winning tallies. In the last 15-20 years, I'd say Leicester were around that mark and maybe one of those United titles where they won it just because the rest of the field was even worse.
Reece James is a monster. Simply has to start in Qatar.
See? It feels weird saying stuff like that when the tournament is almost 9 months away. We should just ask Qatar to nominate a proper country as Qatari soil for the tournament duration for a summer slot.
If he’s going 3 atb surely to god it’s James rcb and Alexander Arnold in front. The former is just an absolute colossus though. He literally had everything.
One of them could play in a midfield three with Rice and Bellingham with the other at right-back, but it's hard to see Southgate ditching that Rice/Phillips 'pivot' whilst he still has a hole in his arse, and that sinks both of their chances (see also: Kyle Walker playing under any and all circumstances).
James, Alexander-Arnold, Rice and Bellingham is just
Then Maguire
What the sweet fuck is the Nazi playing at?
I suppose this tells us Tuesday is perhaps a bigger priority for him.
Though this team should still win the game, I feel like it's going to be disjointed and scrappy.
Every Liverpool player on the pitch is still better than every Newcastle player. Shut up.
Refs want Liverpool to win then.
James fucking Milner.
Assume that's a joke, seeing as he clearly won the ball.
Are UEFA planning on doing anything to Russian clubs for next year's competitions?
Miles on, refs are a joke.
We've officially broken the sport. The fucking level of control with an English spine of Gomez, Milner and Hendo and their Brexitball education is unheard of. So enjoyable to watch.
Soft shite Milner getting knocked out by the ball
You mean James Milner man of the match?
Job done. On to the next.
Gateshead won 3-1 against Southport. Brackley lost to Blyth Spartans. 5 points clear, two games to go.
Burnley scored 2 in the last 7 mins to beat Watford.
Norwich are now down, but Burnley are above Leeds who are now looking nervously over their shoulders.
Mike Jackson and the know-nothing American ownership turning received football wisdom on its head at the moment.
Europa League here we come
Can’t see Arsenal and Spurs catching you tbh.Europa League here we come
Just seen the Milner/Schar thing. I wouldn't whistle for that. Milner got there first. City's up next for us. Good job the hard work was already done.
dundee’s going down down
..
Watching the last 10 minutes of this Old Firm game, Rangers must have been pretty special to be 6 points behind Celtic.
Also, is it at all concerning for United fans that 'Amad' barely seems to have played at all for Rangers since scoring on his debut for them? Has he been injured?
It's too cold for him.
He can’t hack the famous Scottish Premiership.
Celtic’s style suits the league whereas Rangers are a bit more compact and have been held to draws a fair amount. Europa League probably stopped them winning the league as they’ve dropped points a fair bit after a Thursday
Take a shot every time they mention fireworks
Amad has looked crap whenever I've seen him. Being kept out of the side by Scott Wright isn't a strong look.
Everton have been pretty good here. Them being odds on to go down is a mad state of affairs.
Their home form has always been okay. The issue is they’re a joke away from home and they have 3 away games left. Burnley play Aston Villa twice who are dreadful. Think the only hope for them is if Leeds lose out from here but they’ll steal a win from somewhere
Home/away "form" is a myth, pass it on.
They have 6 points away from home. Some myth.
Leeds next play Arsenal away and then Chelsea at home. Depending on how today goes they could be bottom 3 after that Chelsea game.
You've also got to factor in teams coming up against others who now have nothing to play for. I feel like it's between Everton and Leeds looking at the games left. The latter having a tendency to lose and lose by 3+ every time may well fuck them over with that goal difference.
1 point since October
Offft. There can’t be many teams that give away goals like that every other week.
Charity FC
Oh fuck off Chelsea.
Yeah, their last win was, surprise surprise, at the Amex.
I don't know the exact mechanics of this, or if it indeed will be the case, but is Rangers' good run in Europe going to benefit Celtic by way of coefficient for the Champions League next season? Would be quite lol and a bit of a travesty if so.
How/why?
They're a bad team, bad teams lose away from home. Maybe there's something causal in the pattern but it's probably just noise. Home/away form is mostly just taking a small sample and chopping it in half.1 point since October
Must be covid related, I was looking at their fixtures earlier and noticed they play them next, then in their penultimate game as well.
