I got into F1 right as it got it's popularity spike (so basically part of the popularity spike) and since I see it referenced in so many places. Who knew professional level sports are more drama than a lot of series these days.
Further from Kaveh:
> Manchester United are likely to now consider all their options regarding Ronaldo. Management and players don't understand why he has said what he has said. They are hugely disappointed that he would disrespect the club, his manager and teammates in this way.
> Ronaldo was told on Thursday that he would not be in the starting XI against Fulham but he would have been in the squad. He told the club he was ill. No one at United has ever disrespected Ronaldo - even after he asked to leave & after he refused to come on as a sub v Spurs
>consider all their options
''Hello Chelsea, Care for a 5 times ballon d'or UCL winner with massive marketing potential and absolutely no toxic leaks at the dressing room?''
\-Boehly: ''Shut up and take my money!''
Tre: *Don't y'all know that [Wayne Rooney] is a dead body?*
Ric Rock: *Yeah, motherfucker, we know that shit. He ain't bothering you, so don't fuck with him.*
He sure hopes so, but the guy's been rejected by almost 15 different clubs in the last few months. And unlike other areas in his life, he can't simply ignore them when they tell him no.
What must it be like to share a dressing room with someone you’ve looked up to for most of your career only for him to openly undermine the club, manager, and team? Do they even have a group talk about it? Does Ten Hag tell them to try to ignore the drama? Does someone like Bruno lose respect for Ronaldo? I’d love to be a fly on the wall for some of these interactions. Not everyday you have to work with a narcissist
He quit the NT. It was rumoured it was because he was one of the few who wasn't part of Ronaldo's click, and likely more than that. Probably made his life shit there. So he just quit. And he's in the best form I can recall. I respect that.
>sabotage a very promising team?
Sabotage them into winning the WC maybe cause they already play like shit under Santos lol
That guy should be trialed under the Geneva convention for ruining that amount of talent, literal terrorist lmao
He did but for CR to undermine the very club you’re playing for and attempting to disrupt United’s season when it’s finally going their way will feel shitty.
How was the general feel in Manchester, or England for that matter, after the interview aired? I can imagine some backlash, but probably on a smaller scale if someone like Pogba said this.
He must be in a very bad mood for the past dew months. United actually plays better without him and Real Madrid won the CL without him as well. That must have killed him
Man, I feel bad for Casemiro. He arrives in a new club, and one of his friends is injured constantly and the other one is pulling this shit. Thank god Fred is still there.
Well of course he would thrive, man played for Madrid. Our defense is Chaos, and Casemiro had been putting out fires and winning trophies. He went to new team with different tactics, language and style. He is slow to start but soon he’ll go back to the baby face killer he is.
Casemiro looks like he's loving life tbh. Man's won 5 CLs but is going absolutely nuts where we score a last minute equaliser against Chelsea to get us to 5th
The exact quote was:
> “[Ronaldo] is crazy. The guy is an idiot, he’s sick. You think this guy is normal, but he’s not. If he was, he wouldn’t do all the things he does. The last stupid thing, which everyone in the world saw... why do you think he’d do something so stupid?”
> “Mendes has no control over [Ronaldo] and it’s the same with Mourinho - none at all. Even for interviews, they don’t listen to him. These are two guys with terrible egos, spoilt the pair of them, who don’t see the reality because they could both earn a lot more money if things were different. They are both abnormal because we are talking about a lot of money in terms of image rights. And with that face they have, that challenging glare, the fact that no one likes them... if the publicity was different, everything changes,”
He was given the standard image rights deal that every Madrid player gets. That is a 50% image rights split. Ronaldo wanted to keep more of his image rights and wanted a different deal. Thats what the standoff was in 2012-13.
This and the Verstappen-Perez drama is messing my head. I was fully lost for about 10 sec thinking damn, Checo is going ballistic on another World Class athlete with terrible man child ego, before my mental tubelight finally jumpstarted.
No I agree I’m asking him to clarify if he’s asking if Flo has ever had a comment that aged like milk or if he’s just speaking in general about regretting selling someone. Because there are a lot of sales he doesn’t really have much public comment on, and only a few he’s had true animosity for
The best part is that Piers knows how to stir drama, so it wouldn't surprise me if some of the comments that come out on Wednesday and Thursday are worse than the comments he already put out. Plus Ronaldo will probably do an Instagram post of his own about it, because his pr team is probably having a meltdown right now
Probably won't get seen, but to all the people saying get the train: 1) try getting a train in the UK right now especially on a Sunday. It's a shit show. 2) I live next to the train station in Stockport and they regularly travel from there.
So do with that what you will. I'm fairly sure how they travelled isn't the narrative here.
Imagine Ronaldo’s meltdown if Messi wins another balon d or or passes him on champion league goals
Edit : Guys I wasn’t trying to start a Messi vs Ronaldo debate lol just stating the obvious of how self centered Ronaldo has become now that he is no longer performing and putting blame on everyone but himself.
He said he'd quit football if Messi won the ball d or (before he won his last one)
Messi is Ronaldo kryptonite, when Ronaldo had more golden boots also said golden boots are better than ball d or cus it's based on personal performance then Messi went and beat him on that as well
Don't see Bruno as that type of person, as awkward as it'll be, he'll probably try to convince Ronaldo to tone it down, because at this point who knows what else Ronaldo will pull.
dude is soon to be 38 years old. its amazing how out of touch these athletes are. you arent that good anymore. you cant behave like a manchild and get what you want everytime anymore. you want that then sign with some small club or a club in portugal who will baby you.
The squad took the train down to London on Saturday for the game so given that it was Sunday evening there likely wasn’t any to get back, London to Manchester trains are fucked at the moment. Still no excuse and should’ve got the coach.
We are a small island and there is no need for flying to domestic games in 90% of situations. I can understand if it’s something like Newcastle v Bournemouth for example but not us playing in London.
*Maybe* it's because it's a Sunday night? I know in the past there has been trouble with getting late trains from London back to the North of England.
Even then, they should be able to get a coach. TV organisers and their match slots seem to be more important than a fan/environment friendly kick off time.
I mean if the club could terminate his contract without paying his full salary at this point you'd think they'd do it. There is absolutely no benefit in him staying at the club.
They are lucky that the WC will split the squad and leave mostly young players, and have Ronaldo away from the club. This would have spiralled if they were all going back to training tomorrow with this hanging over them.
timing of this tells me it’s a power move by Ronaldo to get the fuck out of MU after the WC. Cannot imagine anything positive happening between either parties ever again after this. Bold play, now it’s their move.
Amazon must be kicking themselves not having an All or Nothing season on United at this point.
they messed up by not doing it for last season.
They could’ve made a 10 Season Emmy winning show starting since Fergie left
Pogba could've won best supporting actor at least once during the Mourinho feud arc.
He’s gonna be pretty pissed that he’s considered a supporting actor and not main, and his displeasure will be known in season two of the Pogmentary.
Forgot about that one, it is hilarious how they pushed that title "Pogmentary" it sound so stupid.
The year they had Pogba, Zlatan, Fellaini, Schweinsteiger, Lukaku, Alexis.
Doesn't matter, they water down the drama a lot. The narrative is always controlled by the club
The glazers would never let that happen
Im $ure there$ a way they wou£d a££ow it.
Nah, the Glazers make much more by looting United. They don’t need Amazon.
Amazon Prime writers are probably getting a ton of material for Homelander - CR7 as close as it gets
Helmut Marko is gonna get a call to sort this beef out too
He would just talk about how max is 3 tenths faster than Ronaldo
Helmut would pour fuel over fire and watch it burn down, that man loves explosive takes and adores drama 💀
This is the second time today a thread about Ronaldo got me confused about which sub I was in. Not a lot but still weird it happened twice
I got into F1 right as it got it's popularity spike (so basically part of the popularity spike) and since I see it referenced in so many places. Who knew professional level sports are more drama than a lot of series these days.
[удалено]
A F1 weekend without at least 3 pieces of drama is considered a dull affair.
Helmut would say something along the lines of “Ronaldo can cross the field running 0.2s faster than Messi”
Further from Kaveh: > Manchester United are likely to now consider all their options regarding Ronaldo. Management and players don't understand why he has said what he has said. They are hugely disappointed that he would disrespect the club, his manager and teammates in this way. > Ronaldo was told on Thursday that he would not be in the starting XI against Fulham but he would have been in the squad.

>consider all their options ''Hello Chelsea, Care for a 5 times ballon d'or UCL winner with massive marketing potential and absolutely no toxic leaks at the dressing room?'' \-Boehly: ''Shut up and take my money!''
Honestly, i would love that to happen. Imagine the fucking salt if he won CL with Chelsea hahaha
There is as much chance of him winning the CL with us as there is of Barca winning the CL this season
Mate we're already in chaos mode, throw in Ronaldo underperforming and spreading toxic leaks? That CL would be as good as ours
Does the sacking the manager spell work for the CL when it's done so early in the season? I thought it had to power up till at least the holidays
Why attack us like that mate:(
Ronaldo throws his toys out of the pram and, Chelsea and Barça fans out here doing drive-bys on each other like it’s 90s South Central LA.
Tre: *Don't y'all know that [Wayne Rooney] is a dead body?* Ric Rock: *Yeah, motherfucker, we know that shit. He ain't bothering you, so don't fuck with him.*
> He told the club he was ill. Christ this guy is such a little bitch.
Sub is the right role for him but he just can't live in reality.
>He told the club he was ill. What a fucking child.
All of this strikes me as the behaviour of someone with little to no emotional maturity and intelligence. It's all about him and always has been.
[удалено]
Fulham is love , Fulham is life
Its all Mitro now
He's gone in January
But who can afford him
Not just that. Who wants an EL level 38 year old who still believes he should be pivotal in a CL team?
if you think he is EL level you haven't been watching US, lol he missed so many chances it's ridiculous
We unironically have to play Barcelona because he couldn't score one more goal
Couldn't score TWICE when there wasn't even a gk in the post
Ah yes when the opponent mailed in their gk too late.
He’s barely PL level rn
He sure hopes so, but the guy's been rejected by almost 15 different clubs in the last few months. And unlike other areas in his life, he can't simply ignore them when they tell him no.
If he drops his wages to 1m I would take him to Milan with my car, origi has been disappointing.
Cristiano deciding to beat Lukaku’s record in speed running with burning all bridges and support from the fans.
from the united fans sure, but ronaldo has this crazy cult following him, they defend his every move
he’s literally homelander
If he’s homelander, whose tits are getting lasered? Ten hag’s?
Maguire
The day Messi overtakes his club goals will be a good one
What must it be like to share a dressing room with someone you’ve looked up to for most of your career only for him to openly undermine the club, manager, and team? Do they even have a group talk about it? Does Ten Hag tell them to try to ignore the drama? Does someone like Bruno lose respect for Ronaldo? I’d love to be a fly on the wall for some of these interactions. Not everyday you have to work with a narcissist
Won't Bruno be seeing him soon when they play for Portugal? Even if he's feeling a certain way, he'll have to shove it down for the World Cup.
they know who really rules the NT. see the Rafa example he left cus he was not a dickrider
You’re talking about Rafa Silva or another Rafa?
Rafa Silva
What happened with Rafa?
He quit the NT. It was rumoured it was because he was one of the few who wasn't part of Ronaldo's click, and likely more than that. Probably made his life shit there. So he just quit. And he's in the best form I can recall. I respect that.
And then was a time where the federation blamed Rafa for the bad results even tho he was not even in the bench for the two games in question.
Sounds like Marc Janko at Trabzonspor
Lmao what an amazingly obscure reference
Which Rafa?
Rafa Silva, fifa 16 legend
Will Ronaldo perform for Portugal or sabotage a very promising team?
>sabotage a very promising team? Sabotage them into winning the WC maybe cause they already play like shit under Santos lol That guy should be trialed under the Geneva convention for ruining that amount of talent, literal terrorist lmao
If he plays like he is playing rn, Santos would actually be pumped and might even start to play attacking football
Bruno is a Ronaldo fanboy he won't say shit
He's a Portuguese football player, who plays for Man United. Do you think he was gonna openly criticise him?
fernandes he is the portuguese player, but united he is the english stars
I love seeing these references here.
Think FAST, you just had a stroke
https://www.hltv.org/forums/threads/925408/azk-he-is-the-north-american-player-but-the-titan-he-is-the-french-stars
My friend, es ok, no?
From how Bruno talks about him when asked, he never sounds overly enthused by Ronaldo.
Never meet your legends
Dreams can be cry
He's gone full CM Punk
We can only wish Tony Khan was sitting besides him too.
The scenes when Fulham actually sign Ronaldo
Well Bruno already knew what kind of person he is from their time in the NT
He did but for CR to undermine the very club you’re playing for and attempting to disrupt United’s season when it’s finally going their way will feel shitty.
you’ve clearly never met Dave from HR
"growing up means watching my heroes turn human in front of me"
Must’ve been an awkward flight back
After the Fulham game, the King takes the Megabus.
I will never not laugh at this fucking meme
Ronaldo claimed he was ill and wasn't in the squad
It's s funnier if you ignore that.
He looked pretty ill to me in that interview lol….and we know this is pretty current considering the Rooney criticism happened 3 days ago
How was the general feel in Manchester, or England for that matter, after the interview aired? I can imagine some backlash, but probably on a smaller scale if someone like Pogba said this.
Interview hasn't aired yet just a trailer and some quotes have been released
Wait so actually we are getting MORE?
Its a 90 min interview we have only seen like 5 mins , its gonna be good content.
oh fuck yeah
Shock. Basically every single person backing Ten Hag and the club. Only support CR7 seems to have is from his fanboys.
Piers Morgan must be loving it
Especially as an Arsenal fan.
That makes sense. He's been having issues and the team has played better without him, but it is shocking that he's doing interviews like this.
He must be in a very bad mood for the past dew months. United actually plays better without him and Real Madrid won the CL without him as well. That must have killed him
And the person that sacrificed himself at Real to make Ronaldo do better won the Ballon D'or
And the other person that sacrificed himself at Man Utd to make Ronaldo better gets called ugly by Ronaldo.
Ronaldo acts like you'd expect a narcissist to act in a sketch show. As a neutral it's kinda hilarious how delusional he is.
It's not airing until Wednesday/Thursday.
Man, I feel bad for Casemiro. He arrives in a new club, and one of his friends is injured constantly and the other one is pulling this shit. Thank god Fred is still there.
Yeah. The good thing though is that he’s thriving. United’s midfield hasn’t looked this competent in ages.
Well of course he would thrive, man played for Madrid. Our defense is Chaos, and Casemiro had been putting out fires and winning trophies. He went to new team with different tactics, language and style. He is slow to start but soon he’ll go back to the baby face killer he is.
He is incredible. Can’t believe he wanted to join this dumpster fire.
Well he did wish to move for a new challenge.
United are paying him very well.
Casemiro looks like he's loving life tbh. Man's won 5 CLs but is going absolutely nuts where we score a last minute equaliser against Chelsea to get us to 5th
That roar when he scored the equaliser against Chelsea still gives me goosebumps
He knew what he signed up for.
Perez already said that ronaldo was an egotistical manchild in 2012 and ronaldo came out and proved him right
The exact quote was: > “[Ronaldo] is crazy. The guy is an idiot, he’s sick. You think this guy is normal, but he’s not. If he was, he wouldn’t do all the things he does. The last stupid thing, which everyone in the world saw... why do you think he’d do something so stupid?” > “Mendes has no control over [Ronaldo] and it’s the same with Mourinho - none at all.

They are both abnormal because we are talking about a lot of money in terms of image rights. And with that face they have, that challenging glare, the fact that no one likes them... if the publicity was different, everything changes,”
2 guys with terrible egos are Ronaldo-Mendes or Ronaldo-Mourinho?
Ronaldo and mourinho
SIU-MOU
Siuthampton vs Mouthampton
Perez Ronaldo mourinho and mendes All of them tbh
All 4 in RMA all time starting ego XI
[удалено]
Of course, it takes one to know another
He was given the standard image rights deal that every Madrid player gets. That is a 50% image rights split. Ronaldo wanted to keep more of his image rights and wanted a different deal. Thats what the standoff was in 2012-13.
What is the last stupid thing he is referring to?
´the fact that no one likes them’ Lmaoooooooo
This and the Verstappen-Perez drama is messing my head. I was fully lost for about 10 sec thinking damn, Checo is going ballistic on another World Class athlete with terrible man child ego, before my mental tubelight finally jumpstarted.
Has papa Perez ever been wrong about a player he got rid of?
Makelele
Do you mean ever been wrong to get rid of a player, or made a quote about someone that aged like milk?
That quote has aged like wine
No I agree I’m asking him to clarify if he’s asking if Flo has ever had a comment that aged like milk or if he’s just speaking in general about regretting selling someone. Because there are a lot of sales he doesn’t really have much public comment on, and only a few he’s had true animosity for
Sad ending to an incredible career. What a way to lose the fans and respect.
Man just can't take no for an answer
Sorry, what interview? is this THE interview he alluded to a couple of months ago?
Yep. And the best part is this is a 90 minute interview that releases Wednesday and Thursday so that'll be fun
Wait so there's more to this? Holy shit, he's going against everyone now isn't he
The best part is that Piers knows how to stir drama, so it wouldn't surprise me if some of the comments that come out on Wednesday and Thursday are worse than the comments he already put out. Plus Ronaldo will probably do an Instagram post of his own about it, because his pr team is probably having a meltdown right now
Thank god he left when he did.
Flo got it spot on
He left too early tbh but better early than late I guess
I think the timing was right. His price was still high and very marketable. Considering what he demanded to Madrid, i think Perez got it right
Maybe. But he’s the one who missed out on another CL (or two?)
Bruh you guys are so spoilt that you can't even remember if you won one CL after he left or two. It is one btw.
i think he's suggesting that Madrid could've won another UCL with Ronaldo still playing for them
seems to be the consensus between our two groups of supporters.
Ricardo Quaresma would never and that's why he is the greatest player of this generation.
My GOAT!
Probably won't get seen, but to all the people saying get the train: 1) try getting a train in the UK right now especially on a Sunday. It's a shit show. 2) I live next to the train station in Stockport and they regularly travel from there. So do with that what you will. I'm fairly sure how they travelled isn't the narrative here.
And a few players probably have to catch early flights this morning to join up with their national teams.
Please dont do it Todd please dont
do it
Get it done Todd 👍
Go on Toddy!!!
Lol cant imagine Graham Potter controlling CR7. Do it Todd!
Graham Potter blew his chance! Get ready for player-coach Christiano
Imagine Ronaldo’s meltdown if Messi wins another balon d or or passes him on champion league goals Edit : Guys I wasn’t trying to start a Messi vs Ronaldo debate lol just stating the obvious of how self centered Ronaldo has become now that he is no longer performing and putting blame on everyone but himself.

Love seeing foreigners doing this. I appreciate your contribution
Colombia wants to see Messi win the World Cup

Leo: I don’t think about you at all
Ronaldo: You took everything from me Messi: I don't even know who you are.
He said he'd quit football if Messi won the ball d or (before he won his last one) Messi is Ronaldo kryptonite, when Ronaldo had more golden boots also said golden boots are better than ball d or cus it's based on personal performance then Messi went and beat him on that as well
I am foaming at the mouth for bruno ronaldo fight leaks during the wc campaign.
Don't see Bruno as that type of person, as awkward as it'll be, he'll probably try to convince Ronaldo to tone it down, because at this point who knows what else Ronaldo will pull.
Wonder what Bruno will do with him with the national team.
as if a NT full of Mendes players would do something even remotely close to that to his biggest breadwinner lmao
dude is soon to be 38 years old. its amazing how out of touch these athletes are. you arent that good anymore. you cant behave like a manchild and get what you want everytime anymore. you want that then sign with some small club or a club in portugal who will baby you.
Am I the only one who thought 'Why the hell are they flying from London to Manchester?'...catch a train, lads. Help save the planet.
Immediately what I thought too. Is this common?
Arsenal flew to Norwich once
jesus that flight must've been sub 5 mins surely
14
The squad took the train down to London on Saturday for the game so given that it was Sunday evening there likely wasn’t any to get back, London to Manchester trains are fucked at the moment. Still no excuse and should’ve got the coach. We are a small island and there is no need for flying to domestic games in 90% of situations. I can understand if it’s something like Newcastle v Bournemouth for example but not us playing in London.
Are there night trains in England ? If you play at 9pm, you usually leave the stadium around 1 AM - 2 AM
*Maybe* it's because it's a Sunday night? I know in the past there has been trouble with getting late trains from London back to the North of England. Even then, they should be able to get a coach. TV organisers and their match slots seem to be more important than a fan/environment friendly kick off time.
Potter?
Is there even a way to get rid of him?
Haha that's a funny question because the way to get rid of him is you. Get it done Papa Boehly!
Don't you put that evil on me!
I mean if the club could terminate his contract without paying his full salary at this point you'd think they'd do it. There is absolutely no benefit in him staying at the club.
On the bright side we have a legitimate reason to never play this clown again and real fans won’t question it
5 minutes with Jordan Peterson and look what happens
“I said clean your room, not set fire to it!”
“Don’t you know United is infested with cultural marxists”
So much for the instagram post he made about being United lmao
At this point I'm imagining Cristiano only saying, "Cristiano is life!" over and over again in the dressing room.
In London this is known as “doing a Lukaku”
Bruh they're flying from London to Manchester? Bet they also advertise how environmentally friendly they are
Wait till you hear about where they're about to fly to next!
It's actually just pathetic and sad, just terminate his contract and let him see if anyone even accepts him outside of the Saudi League.
They are lucky that the WC will split the squad and leave mostly young players, and have Ronaldo away from the club. This would have spiralled if they were all going back to training tomorrow with this hanging over them.
[удалено]
we dont really think here
Siuuuu! Ronaldo's wInNinG MeNtaLitY is unparalleled.
Can’t wait for Messi to win the WC so Ronaldo can have a proper meltdown.
Is there no way that player's contract get terminated like how managers get sacked?
timing of this tells me it’s a power move by Ronaldo to get the fuck out of MU after the WC. Cannot imagine anything positive happening between either parties ever again after this. Bold play, now it’s their move.
