I admire this selfless act from Ronaldo and the club in working together to take the pressure off Garnacho.

It's clear Alejandro is on the cusp of being the next Ballon D'or nomination*. Worldwide media had already begun filling the back pages with talk of goatness.

This strategy by the club and Cristiano should be applauded by true football fans everywhere. Remember what they said about Batman. He's not the hero we deserve, but he's the hero we need <applause>

Brings a tear to my eye, honestly.

That might just be a case of you having to finally accept that you are no longer a medim boxer mate ... happens to us all eventually <whistle>
 
I'm still none the wiser, but can confirm I regret I asked.

No worries buddy ... there are levels of intellect that traverse the human race ...from the Einsteins and da Vincis of the world, winding seemingly without end, until passing through Coventry and North America before arriving at the humanoid Ground Zero that is, inevitably, ... Ponky <laugh>
 
In their pomp on the pitch, using their feet

Not

In their pomp off the pitch, using their mouth

Absolutely ... most footballers are twats (bit of a generalisation, I know <laugh>) and I wouldn't necessarily want to mix with any off the field... but on the field they are MY twats ... and that's all I'm really interested in ...
 
I can't remember who it was that was asked to describe the difference between Ronaldo and Messi, and the simple straightforward answer was Ronaldo had to work to get where he got to, whereas Messi was just a naturally gifted player.

So bearing that in mind it's like saying Ronaldo the brand that he worked at to build, is his company, so if someone diss' his brand, and that could simply be through not playing him, he's going to become outspoken to protect what he owns.
