Andorra were absolutely shocking though.

Goalkeeper did a pretty good save at one point, otherwise as expected. A few years ago England were only getting 2-0 wins against these teams though so there's some encouragement there.

oh yeah I thought Beckham was the schizz but I just want sterner opposition to really test ourselves that's all.

A 6-0 win still looks awesome on paper, and that's good enough for me

His petulant outburst when he was substituted during the Derby match and his critism of Ferguson's tactics for the Champions League Final looks to have sealed the deal.

He joins a long list of "Champagne Charlie's" that have been shown the door during Fergie's reign.
McGrath, Ince, Robson, Strachan, Bosnich, Kanchelskis, Stam, Beckham, Heinze and Ruud van Nistelrooy to name just a few who have crossed swords with him in the past.
3 of the above went to Madrid. Ronaldo will be the 4th.

United will carry on business as usual only £80 million better off. And all the money is said to be available for new players.

My shopping list would begin with Ribery and his fellow Frenchman Benzema.
I've had my eye on Benzema since United played Lyon in the Champions League a few years ago. I'd love him to join United. In my mind he's the new Zidane.

Surely it must go on servicing the debt, thats like just over a year's interest payments and is very needed I reckon

Mr E · 06-11-2009, 11:45 AM

ronaldo awaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ****does backflips****

80 million? he's not worth that much is he?

jackhammer · 06-11-2009, 02:02 PM

Ronaldo was the bees knees two months ago now all the Man U fans on sky sports today were giving him hell. ah the fickle nature of fans eh?

As a player? Awesome
As a man? A complete twat by all accounts.

Mr E · 06-11-2009, 03:08 PM

Fickle fickle pickles yes.

But in all fairness now he didnt have his best season this year ,but he is an aswesome player.
I was watching his debut against Bolton on youtube today and his skills were just insane,i surprisingly will miss his dribbling skills and his jacket tossing.
