i hope the next time Utd do the same thing the lesser club report them. Bayern should of done it with the Hargreaves deal, Everton could have done it, Fulham certainly should have done it for the Saha deal.

This make me hate them even more. They think they're above everyone else.

It's like pissing inside violins.

It's a french expression. Neil Young does know them well.

pisser dans un violon pissais dans un violon (comme si je -) ; pisser dans un violon pour faire de la musique ; pisser dans un violon et que ça sorte par les S
Faire qqchose d'inutile, inutile

1 chaque fois qu'il nous donne un ordre, c'est comme s'il pissait dans un violon pour faire de la musique - 1966 (éd. nvelle) [1890] 2 J'ai essayé de le faire comprendre aux Dolmet. Ca a été comme si je pissais dans un violon - 1985 [1956]

I'll let you do the translation though.

Ferguson is famous for tapping up players, but when the boot is on the other foot all he does is moan. Such a ****ing hypocrite.

Also Ronaldo himself has a lot to answer for. If he came out and clearly stated he wasn't going anywhere, then the problem would be sorted, but he won't do that and repeatedly gives Real the ammunition they need to pursue him.

I would love it if he went. prays

Don't like it up 'em do they. ****s

This is all Ronaldo's causing - I firmly believe his ego is about the size of Jupiter at the moment he wants to be idolised at all times - even out of the Premiership season. This speculation ensures he's never far away from the back pages. The ******.

He thinks he's better than he is.

isn't it nice tho to not have all the papers speculating about our best player being on the verge of leaving despite just winning the European Cup (Gerrard/chelsea/2005)

United think the are the BIGGEST club and can do what they want - but in terms of stature etc Real Madrid are the boss and can literally do what the **** they want - United know this and they are ****ed, they are ****ting it because they are being bullied and they can't do nothing about it -

empty threat to go to fifa imo - why? cause why bother threatening to do it instead of actually just reporting! Any club in the world from an under 7's sunday league to the very top, if a club has a strong case of one of their players being tapped up it is reported straight away to the powers that be with no questions asked!

IMO this says United are very worried about the possibility of ronaldo leaving them, maybe to the point that they are willing to accept a ridiculous offer - but in doing so they know they face a **** storm of a backlash from the fans/media etc - by doing this - say if he does leave, it looks as if they want to keep, they have done everything they can(well they did say they would report madrid to fifa didn't they ) and that the player has left of his own accord cause he is a cunt (if this was the case expect a quick smear campaign from United - he was arrogant, thought he was bigger than the club, noone liked him in training etc etc) or because real madrid have poached him!

I wouldn't be suprised if United are considering the offer, but have done a good pr spin so if he ever does leave it ain't their fault.

For what it's worth - i reckon he will stay until fergie retires.

does this make Utd a selling club now, like we were labeled when Gerrard was leaving, or better still are they Real's feeder club, (Beckham, Van Horseface now Ronaldo).

Torres blew the smallest prospect of him going to Chelsea to bits with his recent statement. That's all it takes Ronny!

Godfather says Ronaldo has a Madrid offer he cannot refuse

Cristiano Ronaldo's godfather, Fernao Sousa, has claimed that the Manchester United winger has already decided to move to Real Madrid. Sousa, who took Ronaldo to Sporting Lisbon as an 11-year-old and later advised him to move to Manchester, is sure that "Cristiano should take this opportunity to go to Real Madrid".

The Portuguese player's godfather told the Spanish newspaper Marca: "I believe that he has decided he is going to Real Madrid but he is not going to say so until after the European Championship."

Sousa is not the only member of Ronaldo's family backing a move to the Bernabéu. His mother, Dolores Aveiro, has made no secret of her wish for the 23-year-old to play for the Spanish champions. "Madrid is my team, the best team in the world, and I'd like him to go there," she told the Spanish newspaper As. "I love Madrid and I would go and live with him."
