sheffield_dave Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 2 hours ago, SiJ said: Already got Man U fans disowning Ronaldo just because he's linked with a move To be fair all this really means in reality is that a load of xG nonces on Twitter will change their avatar from Ronaldo to someone else. You don’t even need the length of a tweet to cover what any of that lot know about football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I reckon the Man City story is an attempt to get Man Utd interested in taking him back. Ronaldo “hey agent, I want to go back to Man Utd, put out a story that Man City might sign me and see what happens”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I think so. It’s usually difficult to get tickets if you fancy going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickly Kevin Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I think for some games there are maybe a few empty seats but it is a pretty big stadium. The jibes usually come loudest from United/Liverpool fans who never go to games. Or with no sense of irony call City fans gloryhunters and plastic.

sheffield_dave Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 It’s never sat right with me, all that. City fans were always brilliant when they were sh*te as well. They’ve always filled the Lepp at Hillsborough and if I remember rightly they were still averaging over 30,000 at Maine Road in League One?

Yeah they have a loyal fanbase and they arent a global club in sense of United and Liverpool supporter wise. But having gloryhunters all round the world isnt something you would love to have really.

SiJ Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 City have always had a great core fanbase. The fact is you don't just magically get a load of new fans who want to attend games of football because you're successful now. And yes, the irony of Man U and Liverpool fans on social media ridiculing them is not lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 this signing when it comes off. Love him or hate him he’s entertainment and in the top 2 players of this century. Didn’t think we’d see him back in the prem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will score an absolute bucket load for City too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Sensational player. I dislike the guy, he's not as loveable as Messi but it's hard to disagree he's one of the greatest. We will be lucky to see two players go head to head like Messi and Ronaldo did. Both of them are phenomenal. One has natural, almost unhuman-like talent in Messi and the other has the drive and determination in Ronaldo. Starting to look like it's a done deal - At 36 I'd love to see what he has left in the tank. I have no doubt he still has a good couple of years left in him, in terms of fitness he is the model pro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Great for the neutral to have him back. Sucks for Liverpool, Chelsea and Man Utd fans. Sooooo...Great news then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
