do you know why they are changing the la liga calendar this year?
the 2nd half of the season isn't in the same order as the 1st half anymore.

trying to understand the logic behind this

its La liga so things never really make sense logistically

Ronaldo is not washed

Still mindblowing how he's older than Wazza...

 

[Coupé It]

Na he’s 8 months older than Rooney, chill

But yea, Rooney is about to play next season in a wheelchair, crazy just how much Ronaldo ripped their “teammate rivalry” apart after 2007 I legit remember United fans during that time saying Rooney would be the bigger star.....

Yea there was a time where people thought Wazza had the higher ceiling because of just how good he was so young. It's how the nickname 'white pele' came about and was used ironically at the start

Ron went up a few power levels after the WC in Germany and the rest is history. Roo was still good but he could never again reach Ron's heights

*unironically

 

[sonoftony]

Still mindblowing how he's older than Wazza and that they used to be on the same level when they were younger...

I'm gonna post that tweet in the washed thread

 

[ROYGBiV]

No wonder he only dates younger women.

 

[Coupé It]

Yea that was one of more stunning stats from the entire WC,33 y/o Ron clocking in the highest top speed all tourney

He's a phsyical freak but a lot of it is down his own work/willpower. Dude wasn't anywhere near the aesthetics Gawd he is now when he joined United. He's Bruce Lee status now

I think I remember the run they’re referring to, it was a Portugal counter attack following a Spain cross, he bolted up the field, but ended up passing to Guedes

Yea he’s a gym rat, I heard Patrice Evra’s story of going to Ronaldo’s house while he was a pundit on BBC during the WC. Evra was mad Ronaldo made him do more training when he got to his house to supposedly “relax” lol.

But regardless of that, Ronaldo came into the EPL skinny but the speed and vertical was always there. He took it to another level throughout the years but speed/vertical (superior athleticism) is a random gift of genetics. Can’t teach that. That was why I always compared him to LBJ, They’re both freaks.

You gotta be stupid dumb if you thought back then that Ronney & Ronnie were similar... Just dumb for no reason....

CR is the Ivan Drago of footy

 

[130122]

gelson martins to atletico?

yea that’s been the word since like march. I’d much rather go for a winger that doesn’t have off field issues. Or **** give me Kramaric as Costas back up. we’re maxed on wingers but I guess it’s Gelson :/

What I say during my Wolves speech, the BRITISH FOOTBALL establishment never fails, at FAILING. From Rooney, to Beckham, to “its coming home”, it’s a joke. That’s why we need Wolves Warriors

There's a rumor Bonucci could go back to Juve in a swap deal for Argentinian Giroud

[rolaholic]

Not sure how legit but supposedly Real and Chelsea have sealed the Tboat deal for 35-40m

 

[LA Diggler]

For the record, Rooney was better than Ronaldo in their early seasons at United.

How many times you watch United between 03-06?

 

[Coupé It]

Probably the club I watched most during that time 04-08, alongside Porto of course, 2003 I don't recall tho. I was really young during that time but I'd always watch with my dad, he knew his ****

Back to reality after long weekend

Lack of cellular service stinks in small town

Ooo, Golovin is still a member of CSKA Moscow

Jorginho

Ross Barkley
Sarri system suits him

Callum Hudson-Odoi

Chelsea board rejected Willian bid for the third time
I guess we gotta wait until Sarri meet WC players first

I see Wolves gang has been formed now... Winter is coming. The lone wolf dies but the pack survives

Being the resident old head, I've been watching footy since 89-90 when I first discovered Barca overseas crisscrossing Europe working for my uncle. Watched a lot of United because they were one of the only footy games on for a period. Also paid alot of attention to them in 05 when Park came to play for SAF.

Barkley did indeed look great playing for Sarri. He would've had a goal or 2 if not for the damn goal post. Honestly, if I were Hazard, I'd stay & play for the old man. Very curious to see what he could do with Chelsea's young players & the ones that haven't panned out just yet like Bakayoko & Barkley.
