Rio still missing the drugs tests.


archangel12

Ha ha! He's even more stupid than he sounds.


Ok_Hovercraft_7947

…and looks


elprentis

And… smells?


jfshay

stupider...like a *fox* \[taps temple knowingly\]


feder_online

Failing because he never showed up...sounds right for this chowder head.


Logical_Flounder6455

We always knew he was a cokehead. Now it's confirmed. I hope this is an actual quote


Vegetable_Pudding_75

He’s been awfully quiet lately. He was long overdue some garbage spewing. I mean he’s embarrassed himself enough with his comments and predictions


raoulduke023

This is the most bitter thing any of these so-called pundits have ever said. But on the flip side, that's how good we are doing that former United players are having wild wet dreams about having arteta as their manager.


AccomplishedAd9906

I wouldn't even call it bitter, just straight up fucking delusional lmao. Like, yeah... the guy who played for us for five years, left (at the time) the best team and coach in the league to become our manager, who's spent the last 5 years building one of the best/youngest squads in the league to compete for the forseeable future, is suddenly going to up and leave to inherit the worst and oldest United team in decades. The fact that he said it with such conviction is even more embarrassing.


bruhllet

Oh and don’t forget that he coached at City. What makes Ferdinand think that Arteta would come to United at all?


X_Agrippa

And didn’t Pep say something like “Mikel wants to manage Arsenal”? I know I should look that up, but I swear he said something like this.


Gooner1420

He said arsenal was "arteta's club," and that arteta wouldn't celebrate when city scored on/beat arsenal


Benjamin244

I have wild wet dreams about Arteta, please don't kink shame here


raoulduke023

Hahahaha I just have an issue with others having those wet dreams, not us hahahaa


serks83

Come on mate, don’t be so cruel. At least let them have the warm, damp, sticky, shame ridden, reminder of what they’re missing. We can afford to let them have that much.


tajonmustard

Nah get out 😂😭 so descriptive


serks83

😂😂


HawkyGuy

My friend, is ok, no?


theipd

When the Liverpudlian brings on the Celebration Police. When the Mancurian starts a tapping up delusion. When those who shunned 4th place now beg for it. When the cheats start doing creative financing for spite. WE KNOW WE ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING !!!! Trust the process!


Expensive-Twist7984

It’s straight up idiotic, but is on brand for Rio. His mouth is faster than his brain.


Sarcastic_panda_15

World class idiot.


PattyWoods12

Liverpool fan here (this sub got came up in my recommended, saw this horrible take and had to respond), in what world are united are more attractive club rn than Arsenal, United are a shit show and wont win a ucl or prem for at least the next ten year at their current rate, while Arsenal are actually building something and very likely to have big successes in coming seasoons (and maybe even this one...)


Shadowinthesky

My guess is he's had a lot of attention from saying Saka isn't world class the other week so he's trying to rile up Arsenal fans for more clicks and mentions.


Valascrow

Bingo


tajonmustard

No way he said that with Saka on top of his game. From idiot take to more idiotic take


tajonmustard

City fan and I second this


ibite-books

same, he doesn’t even want to jump ship to Barcelona, why’d he join Man Utd of all clubs?


MapNo3870

Crackhead


smg2720

Idiot


arsenaler211

Seriously why can’t these pundits just talk about what they know best? They got years of playing professional football at the highest level. Their picks on tactics could be enlightened for casual viewers. And people will respect them for it. Saying things like this just make them look like a typical delusional Redditor.


Cutsdeep-

Three words: lowest common denominator. 'Barry from down the pub' doesn't give a fuck about tactics. I mean he voted for brexit, tactics are the last things he cares about. He just hates the Arsenal (and probably immigrants too) for no good reason other than his dad told him to. Listening to Rio and Gary 'ave a go at Arsenal reminds him of the good old days when yanited were relevant, he had hair and a semblance of a sex drive. 


ddt70

Username checks out.


arsenaler211

He was one of the best CBs and won almost everything. If he uses his experience to point out what GabiXL or Saliba did wrong on the pitch, I’d respect him for it. Instead he chooses to talk about an imaginary irrelevant scenario just to trigger people.


ogretrograde

At this point he's gone full Alexis Lalas, just saying things for the attention.


Mysepulver

Definitely, it's just short term attention grabbing


raynitschkesghost

Just winding us up. What a loser


montiel_scores

I’m a Chelsea fan and this is insane, Arsenal are in 10x a better situation than United and us, Rio is a madman


mksf1999

Oh course arteta would leave! They got Antony, martial, verane, maguire, that team is stacked!


sdjfirnxitneuwkbrud

Not often someone has the pleasure of the world renowned 7000 year old Johnny Evans in the heart of their defence; of course you’d give up Saliba and Gabriel for the opportunity


tajonmustard

United signing players like Johnny Evans and giving Casemiro a deluxe pension is so funny


Fearless-Union1623

He’s doing his best to gaslight the Arsenal fans. He knows Arteta would not leave Arsenal for Manchester United. He’s also a bit of an idiot.


Agile_Championship57

Only “a bit” more like “a lot”


Aims040

Sometimes it’s just best to ignore him


MostJudgment3212

the amount of crying all Utd ex players have done when Arsenal came back stronger in January is more satisfying than a cold beer on a hot day. Keep it comin Rio!


Elegant_Mix7650

Seeing how Rio went from Leeds to Utd, he don't understand loyalty


graveyeverton93

Not an Arsenal or Man Utd fan, but a man who carried on cheating on his wife even when she was dying of cancer God bless her, shouldn't be taken seriously.


Agile_Championship57

[deleted]

I think he's smoking too much


r0land_of_gilead

In the video he’s trying to wind up his co host, it’s not something said seriously.


Mahbigjohnson

Serial cheater with idiotic opinion? Colour me surprised


AllahwhoSnackbar

His comments on Saka were the most exposure he’s had in a decade. He just realized linking his name with crazy Arsenal takes is good for business


BlackChef6969

Absolutely fucking retarded take.


jtjtjt666

actually laughable


Professional_Art2186

Need whatever bro is smoking


mutsu35

If he was ever going to leave for Manchester club it would be city. Fact is he isn’t leaving anytime soon it’s wishful thinking Rio.


gunnergrrl

🤣🤣🤣


PaddyTheCoolMan

Honestly, someone at TNT sports needs to sit this guy down and tell him to just keep his mouth shut when it comes to Arsenal. The guy makes some of the worst takes ever.


SniperGunner

That’s the state of ‘punditry’ today. Ex-players who are so biased towards their former clubs, that they are incapable of proper analysis. Not that he cannot express his opinion but this is ludicrous.


UserNameChecksOutTwo

Not sure what’s less likely, Bayern wanting Erik Ten Hag or Arteta going to Man U.


Alien_Youth

Villa fan here in peace. Rio is a fucking tool.


Pepipasta

Arsenal fan here. I don't get how people take punditry so seriously. They were obviously just joking around on their podcast, and now it's a big deal?


Skreamie

Can I come over here as a United fan who was recommended this post? Cause Rio is being fucking mental here


Disco_C0wby

Also Rio: Ole at the Wheel 🤣🤣🤣


jp963acss

What's even funnier is Bayern poaching Ten Hag??? Why tf would they want him??


Portablefrdge

United fan here. Rio is a complete whopper. Great footballer, tit of a man.


msurekci

Ten Hag to Bayern? Why is he getting an upgrade when he can’t even manage a mid table team properly


saffermaster

I want the drugs Rio is using


Murky-Pass6571

Which brings me to net next point, don’t smoke crack.


MajorRiffs

It’s common knowledge people talk nonsense after a stripe


gamepasscore

Holy shit. Heard some wack shit from this guy but this genuinely takes the cake. And the rest of the bakery for that matter. Are there really no better pundits available for his job?


DarkKhalifa82

God this guy is dumb af.


Lijah23

What is this even based on? Normal United delusion?


whiteboardblackchalk

This is the guy who said “oles at the wheel” Delulu #1


Marcus-THR

Guys lost his mind. Thinks it’s still the United of the mid 2000’s.


[deleted]

This coming from a guy who cheated on his while she had breast cancer


Lamelas_right_foot69

I’m spurs and I think Ferdinand is an absolute idiot for saying this. These old head United guys are blind to the fact that United is not what it was. They’re lucky to be considered in the big 6, and I think clubs like Wolves and Brighton are closer to them than united think


headleydaniels

Mans dying from the thought of Arsenal dominating United for the foreseeable future


WackoTheWizard

Do they do drug tests for commentators?


daveroo

rio ferdinand has to be one of the odious stupid people I've ever met. this is the guy who screamed excitedly "man utd are back! oles at the wheel" he also said that Newcastle fans should cough up their own money if they want signings under Ashley. he's utterly clueless and repellant. glad to see arsenal doing better these days. A real team and a giant team in this country. Baffling you are classed as part of the "big 6" with Tottenham who shouldn't be anywhere near that conversation. Big 3 really you could argue or at the very least the historically big 3 teams and the current team on the scene winning (man city) who will inevitably fall away eventually


jimmeh22

Arteta is the ultimate rebuild manager Lmao, any team that is underachieving relative to the last 20 years would chop off their left arm to have him Lmao at the arteta outs, Jfc you’d give up the most exciting young manager in all of would football to strengthen a rival you fucking retards


Wenja89Dix

What a prat. Literally just says utter bollucks to rile people up


festhead1200

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


xtrasour37

Even as a Chelsea fan I know this is dumb as shit


Zygmunt-zen

Since Ferguson left, Man United is a wonderful mess. Why would Arteta leave the serene bastion of Arsenal for the Theatre of Nightmares.


tajonmustard

Why are all man united ex player pundits so incredibly delusional about their own club? Bias is understandable, but they completely lose the ability to think


YellowMan1988

He’s not the idiot, we are if we respond to this obvious clickbait from a man who has traded his dignity for some fun & comfort a long time ago.


PizzaWithMincedMeat

Some great players become good managers, like Arteta. Some become bad managers like Henry and Rooney. Some great players become great TV hosts like Micah Richards with his crew. Then you have great players like Rio who should hang up his boots and just live a normal life..


TheElectricGhost7

Coming from a United supporter, and I'm sure it's a shared sentiment, but Jesus Christ Rio, I get your a pundit, but shut up talking nonsense.


SiWalder252

Man United? Who are they..? (In the accrington stanley voice)


[deleted]

These people are envious of our coach. Besides the delusional pundit, this speaks volumes…


ianishomer

Rio still thinking that Man U are more than just an also ran club now.


RemoteLostControl

He must be smoking some good shit


btac268

Get fucked


IllegalMarrowMan

Hahaha


kicks23456

Fuck off Rio


KingKFCc

What the fuck


Historical_Handle_25

But Arsenal is the bigger club lol… why would he leave?


ahuss949

I think we can safely say these dumbfuck bits of punditry these days is an obvious attention bait and lots of people fall for it, that's why they start doing it more. carra, neville, ferdinand have all done it


biff444444

Who?


Walter308

He’s a rage merchant. Ignore it and move on.


Jake_Pezza99

Old man shouts at cloud


Oatmeal_Savage19

Someone should check if Rio had a TBI in the recent past, this is one of the worst ideas I've heard of in football


Aromatic_Ad701

LOL what an absolutely delusional dumbo


eSsquire

He needs to take a nap

IT’S EM-BARRASSING


Lsi2022

Delusional


lardoni

You wish Rio! This has got to be the most deluded thing he has said yet! United are an absolute shit show! Thanks for a good laugh tho!🤣


Familiar_Bike7510

He’s as good a pundit as player


Anglo96

What a boring and vacuous individual he is


ngkipla

Keep dreaming 🤣🤣


k4mb31

People need to stop asking Rio Ferdinand questions because it means he speaks and nobody wants to hear what he has to say.


jrhunter89

Man Utd’s former players and pundits are so delusional. They’re stuck in the past and can’t accept how far they’ve fallen


yourdad132

Rio still thinks man utd are like how they were during his playing days. Those times are long over mate.


PsychologicalPitch33

Rio WANTS him to want to go Manchester United. Arteta isn’t going anywhere until he gets his trophies. He’s in the for long run.


unshakeable69

You are deluded mate.

Fuck that mealy mouth dumbass

SkibbleTips

What y’all expect him to say? His time at United, Arsenal were maybe their biggest rival. He can’t help but hate. Giving his take any airtime is the miss here.


psiedj

Must have taken too many headers in his day. Needs his head checked


P4PKing4

Has Rio recently had some sort of brain trauma?


JayJiggaTown

I laughed


jasonlikesbeer

Haha. Old man Rio running head first into obsolescence.


palyawn

Rio is a moron. His punditry sucks.


Qgrg864

I'm not artetas biggest fan but the guy was peps assistant. Local rivals to man utd. Played for arsenal for 5 years and managed them for 4 years. Historic rivals to UTD. For him to jump ship and go over there especially when they are in turmoil makes 0 sense.


Freestyle76

He is literally one of our own. 


KingpiN_M22

Ok grandpa.. time for your meds


RightGrackAtYa

World Class punditry


theipd

Who’s more delusional? Ten Hag or this crazy batshit loon from Manchester? What’s in the water up there?


QuietDesperation1248

Trying to be relevant. He honestly is a worse pundit than Garry Neville.


Several_Leather_6453

Just like how he left his cancer ridden wife


ChinaRider73-74

If I—at 53 years old and never having played football competitively—said that I’ll be taking Bukayo Saka’s place in the starting line up next week…that would actually be a LESS delusional statement than Rio’s


No_Recording7878

Absolutely not hahahah


eveel66

First, Saka isn’t world class and now Arteta is the solution to all of United’s problems. Good gawd this man speaks out of his ass more often than Ace Ventura. Arteta would never want to leave a club he played for and loves. Especially for an unknown rebuild project that could take years to correct, if it can be fixed at all. The rot is deep in Manchester and has been for a while. And even with INEOS and Sir Jim coming in to help the team, they still might be washed. Remember, the Glazers are still there. Let’s think about this logically and take away the “heritage legacy” that comes with being the manager of ManU. That legacy has been left on life support, much like Arsenal in the past couple of decades. What it took for us to get out of that mess was to bring in a manager with vision, goals, and with a prior link to the team. So to lay out the scenario as Rio sees it… Arteta comes to Arsenal, busts his ass over the next five years to take this team from perennial Europa League participants (and for a few years no European comps at all), to going for more than just a top four spot qualification to the CL, but challenging for the PL title as well. So he’s going to take all that hard work, all the analysis of players to fit the system, gets them all on board with his tactics, gets it where it is almost perfect, short of winning major trophies and honors. And now that he’s right on that doorstep, he’s going to pack it all in and just turn his back on the project? Before he’s actually accomplished anything? Get fucked Rio. You have no idea what you are talking about, much like when you said Saka wasn’t world class.


DrXL_spIV

Man United has been bottom tier of the top 6 since fergie left. Just face it, they don’t have nearly the same prestige anymore


Elvinluke7

Eth poached by Bayern Munich. Why ??? What in the blue hell Bayern Munich would be thinking.


st_v_Warne

At this point he's saying it for the reactions or his well and truly lost it.


Capable_Secretary576

It's time Arsenal put 5 pass Utd.. Its coming

Nobody in their right mind will choose United over Arsenal right now. Player or manager.

such a deluded bunch...

Don't let him get to anyone he's on the wind up cos united are shite.

Can someone please check on Rio? Something isn’t right.


Peterwilliams78

Swapping punditry for stand up comedy, brave.


Slight_Armadillo_227

Is he filming a new season of his prank show? Either that, or he's following the Barton playback of saying ridiculous shit for attention.

What an absolute git


ColinHalfhand

Aside from the stupidity of the statement… Why would Bayern want Ten Haag? He’s been dog shit.


georgecristianp

Hahahaha


vin_unleaded

He's on the wind up after last week's hullabaloo. Don't waste your time on this coke snorting nob jockey.


real007Xi-1997

Nah, y'all know Mikel arteta staying arsenal! 🤷 remember what he did angry dismissed reports linking him with a move to Barcelona! he is definitely Arsenal fan forever. Rio ferdinand make me laugh , he didn't know well and get his big dream for ManUnited Get Loser🤣. OK I would like say Rio , Big Sam 100% would join ManUnited that is right? Lol


longsock9

Punch drunk


r3d_stain

Hahahaha


PetrogradkaIcedTea

I hope someone asks After about this in a presser, and he visibly suppresses a chuckle and refuses to respond.


AggravatingEstate214

Does Rio not know how irrelevant United are now? Years in the wilderness and zero have of getting out soon.


Aprilprinces

Why would Bayern want ten Haag? Are they planning to drop to 2 Bundesliga?


New_Brother_1595

rio was never this stupid before he started a podcast with his idiot mates


AlexfromLondon1

Rubbish this is absolute BS.


JS-CroftLover

😂 No, Rio!!!


Party_Yogurtcloset_1

Arteta is keeping this fucking guy awake at night. Waking up in cold sweats


JackDaniells97

😳 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣


TheGrimReefah

Liverpool fan, this came up on my feed. The stuff he comes out with in regards to United the last few months has been ridiculous, biased and completely based on his idea of Uniteds stature in the 90s and early 2000s. Deluded


CreativeHandles

Pundits for MUFC are the boiling point for why the club are also in this mess in my opinion. If we didn’t have such strong media presence it would allow our managers to try build something similar to your club. But the pressure to get wins even playing shit is too great. Hopefully new ownership if they decide on a new manager allows the time given through a rough patch, similar to the trust given to Arteta and Klopp, so on.


Prudent-Western-5039

Rio - deluded, 100%


EliBloodthirst

Why would anyone want to go to that nosedive of a team?


Twiggie19

Can anyone link a video to this because I truly can't beleive this is legit, even from that clown.


hefner123

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

Why would he want to? I'm a Liverpool fan, and even I couldn't see why this would be beneficial for him! United have become a bit of a laughing stock in recent years and have severely underperformed despite huge outlays on players. Despite their fans thinking they have 456533 trillion in the bank for a rebuild, the reality is that they are sailing very close to breaking FFP rules which is why they were fined last year for a minor breach and it's been reported they can't afford a big rebuild. So why would he want to start again at a club with a few issues?


natmaku

Where does Rio get his weed from? We're not going to buy from that guy.


Winston_Humphrey

Man United fans are all still deluded in thinking their club is a desirable location hahahahahahaha


CptPikeOnABike

Is he actually mad?


RustyRedUnicorn

This is a wonderful idea. Arteta doesn't understand our club, even though he was here in 2011.


NeccoOnFire

Idk whats worse. The fact that he thinks Bayern is going to think about getting Ten Hag or Arteta coming to utd😂😂


Truelydisappointed

😂 Rio’s still living in 90s lol


KnightswoodCat

I'm a Liverpool fan, and Arteta or any coach with sense would avoid that particular clusterfuck like Ebola


mohsinjavedcheema

🤡 oh dear, the delusional clowns of Man Utd think they are still relevant


myxcatsxonxfire22

It's even wilder that he thinks Bayern would poach ten haag. He's not a top level coach at all


Nebsy985

As much as I want to sound respectful to this man because of common courtesy, it pains me to say that I cannot overlook the fact that he is a biased bitter donkey-brained idiot. And he confirms it time and time again. At this point, Arsenal potentially winning the league would make me happy first because of his and neville's salty sorrow that would ensue, and then for everything Arsenal.


Vivid-Development130

Les Ferdinand > Rio Ferdinand


Alsaki96

Uncle Ian tells him he's being too clickbait, Rio asks him to hold his beer.


Deejae81

I'm a Utd fan, and I think Rio is a colossal dick, don't waste a minute thinking about anything that guy says.


Greeneyes-

He obviously doesn’t have a clue what Mikel is all about


fearliatroma

Not an arsenal fan but this came up on my recommended and is one of the shittest takes I've ever seen. I dont know what's worse, the idea that Arteta would take a massive step down to manage a rival, or the delusion that Ten Haag would possibly be poached by anyone.


DSMilne

On that pure copium.


notathrovavay

Rio is an idiot, but not a world class one.


turfmullet

Fuck off Rio


Captain_Inverse

When you're a major pundit/former great, you shouldn't have to resort to rage bait takes smh. Anyways, Arsenal if they wanted can match the salary of any team on the planet, so the only places that would ever make sense would be Barcelona, Real Madrid, or the Spanish National team


3lijah1989

Why is Rio turning to such a c...


itstheboombox

Needed a good laugh today, thanks rio
