It's not entirely unheard of though that someone who retires from sport and years or decades of strict meal plans and having someone else make your decisions for you can come off the rails pretty quickly. Look at some boxers. Or the real Ronaldo.

Fat twat had to be sent to fat camp when he was still at the rags

To be honest he looks seriously unhealthy for his age. He is in a shocking state for a recently-retired professional athlete. I am aware he has alcohol problems but he does have the look of someone who is involved in substance abuse as well. I am not being flippant because it is look I can recognise in people. I have a gut feeling he is going down the same route as Paul Gascoigne. Much as I disliked him as a player I would not wish that on anyone.

I'm 38, I'm going grey and I still look younger than him. He's not aged well. Although I don't think he has the mental issues that Gazza has, it's a miracle Gazza's not topped himself yet. I'm serious. He's already tried.
 
They really are the gift that keeps on giving.
From the strategic geniuses who organised the “mass protest walkout” that never happened because they were winning at home v Brentford.
The same braindead dicks who were on TV waving a flag saying “Walk out on 73” - in the 74th minute.

Entitlement
Click to expand...
Quite a lot of rags feel entitled and i think it's mostly under 45s who haven't really seen them much live. We've all met the type, you know the ones who said they used to go but they can't get a season ticket anymore due to it being a sell out bla bla shit excuse bla. Clueless TV rags gulping down any City- bias shit they read on Twitter and the red top loving media.

However, I've spoken to plenty of well reasoned knowledge reds who want us to win the league over Liverpool. They're pretty pissed off we're in a position they used to be in but most i know have accepted it now and hope the PL stays in Manchester.

United wont always be in a shit position and they'll no doubt come good again due to the size of the club and fan base. Should we ever fall from grace and be in a similar position of them not winning a trophy for several years then I would hope that they would pip Liverpool to the winning the PL.

I hate United as a club and the knobhead clueless rags who bleat shite but don't know their cubs history, nevermind ours. But they have a lot more decent fans than Liverpool do who can talk football without feeling entitled, especially those old enough to remember Denis Law's backheel and the barren years pre Ferguson when they won the odd cup here and there. And that's from a period when Liverpool were dominantly the best in the League and Europe, unlike nowadays when they've won the CL without winning the PL.

Do you think it’s down to the love of Manchester or the love of retaining their record of 20 titles?

From the decent reds I've spoken to prefer it to stay in Manchester because let's face it, many of us blues here in Manchester have several friends and family who support United and they too have blues as family and friends. The ones who give it the 20 times bollox is more(I've found) from the know nowt glory hunting rags up and down the country. I know this from meeting many on my travels of working away for 16 years.

Like I said previously a lot of decent reds and clueless rags have have piped down in recent years and several i know(especially my mate John) really enjoy watching us play because he(and they) appreciate good football which is fair enough i think.

That could eventually happen and i think more and more united fans can see this eventually happening one day. I honestly don't give a fuck if we catch them up or not because I'd still be a blue if we hadn't won the last Sheikhy Wonka golden ticket and reds i know realise I'm City through and through and the depths we've been down to as a club.

Us older blues tend to not get carried away by money and success because when we won nothing for many years we still went week in week out. Being starved of success humbled us and gave us perspective of where we were amongst the dead men at our lowest point.

And i think a lot of reds now feel a sense of perspective in realising nothing can be taken for granted. And when they win their next proper trophy it will feel real to them and a huge relief, just like winning the FA Cup and first PL felt real and amazing for us.

We are blessed watching the quality of progressive football we have been watching for 11 years since that joyful day at Wembley final when Yaya scored.

But we won't always be top dogs and winners though. And that's why we should cherish every trophy win as it's our last because we know all too well should we fall from grace like our last halcyon period of the late 60s it could be a long time waiting for another trophy. I doubt our trophy hall will dry up anytime soon but as time transpires we just never know how things will pan out...
