Just wondering when is the last time Ronaldo scored a quality free kick? I think it was vs Spain in World Cup 2018.

Anyway, he was absolute dog shit last night for Portugal and I can just picture him after the game in his hotel room, watching highlights of the other matches and seeing Bale's free kick fly into the top corner...





"Filho de Puta" ... *turns TV off*

We seem to have a pretty good scouting system in place because generally speaking since Pep arrived our signings have improved the team, and therefor the club. And that is why I will never ever in a million years believe that we were ever interested in the Portuguese Ponce. Never in a billion billion light years would Pep have a show-pony like that çunt in his teams.

Roberto inevitably linked with the rags this morning. Please Bobby, don't do it, unless you're happy with it being your last ever gig and get paid handsomely, in which case "Welcome to (the bit just over the border of) Manchester".

I'd love to see him there as it would be an unmitigated disaster so while upsetting to see him damaged ... I'd get over it.

Kane to the scum is another predictable transfer if we going to get Haaland! They know the media be all over it tally up the goals whose better whose a waste of money! Like I say it’s predictable and boring as fcuk.

Wouldn't surprise me if the rags also go for Ward-Prowse and Declan Rice this summer
There's going to be a huge clear out at the swamp and it'll free up a load of money
I wonder if they do spend £300m, the headlines will be about "obscene transfer fees" or "flexing their financial muscle"!
I do actually know the answer to that rhetorical question

Realistically though, who would want to pay Ronaldo half a million a week? The same for the likes of Slabhead and Pogbad, their wages won't be too far behind his.
The rags made their own bed by consistently throwing money at everything and anything, so let them lie in it. They are, after all, SCUM!

Maguire and Fred might not be, but I think Sanchez might have worked out with us. It was evident that Pep personally wanted him and he managed Sanchez before.

Maguire and Fred IMO are probably just two names on a long list of names that the club scouted.

I think Fred would have been a good defensive midfielder in a good pass and move team like City. Maguire is an old school big centre half and definitely wouldn't have worked out. Sanchez a couple of years earlier definitely would have worked out. As it turned out Arsenal and Chile had played him into the ground, legs had gone

Yep, be similar to when the dippers renewed lots of contracts in the same month, Alison, VVD etc, not a single media reporting wages when reporting on the renewals. Similar to how transfer fees are never mentioned re Rags, its always 100 million Grealish but never 75 Million Sancho and you can never believe their figures also ie Ronaldo is sometimes mentioned as 500k a week but thats after tax, Monaco (i think) called them out over them saying Martial cost 23 million when he actually cost over 56 million etc

Just dropped daughter off at her mates house - early hours of the morning they fly to Rome for a small holiday. Before I left I told her if she gets near the Vatican she must remind the Pope of his solemn duty.......

Ha ha ha - just had a worried text off her - she says everyone in Rome looks down and out and newspapers have "Disatero" as headlines - she wanted to know were the Russians coming their way? I just rang her up and explained it will all be over last nights result - Italy in mourning
