Great to see, but could he be our marquee signing next summer?

In defence of Bale playing with Ronaldo must be a nightmare. Saw a bit of their game last night. Bale scored both goals , the second one a bit fortunate, and Ronaldo didn't celebrate because he didn't score. OK Ronaldo is possibly the best player in the world but compare his attitude to Messi. Messi plays for the team and is as happy when his team mates score.
I thought, and still do, that Bale was over hyped by the media , Spurs done well to get such a fee for him. He is a good player and I think he will have a better career when either he or Ronaldo leave Real.

Doubt they would take such a hit on what they paid for him for us to be able to buy him.

The wife's cousin brought his kid out to Madrid a month ago to watch a real Madrid game (the kid is a huge Ronaldo fan), and he came back absolutely scathing of Ronaldo and his attitude. He labelled him as an arrogant, lazy prick who expected all play to go through him and if a pass wasn't right to his feet, he started waving his arms and gesticulating to the crowd - anyway my point is(and I said this to my friends last week) that Ronaldo is a poisonous virus in a club but such is the lack of intelligence of the modern day supporter that most only see the media hype and they buy into it :roll: I'm not defending the monkey when I say that but the reality is that he would be a hero if Ronaldo wasn't at that club, but it is clear that the portugese c.unt wont tolerate sharing the limelight with anyone and the fans have sided with him

Btw he will join citeeh next summer and not manure

I think fans out up with Ronaldo because of what he does for the team in regards to scoring and winning games for them. He's an outstanding player better than Messi IMO although he's a big a crunt as maybe there has ever been in football fans put up with him because of what he brings

But yeah, ol' big nose Flash can lose the plot at times. Once tried to tell me that anal was better than oral. I disagreed and then he told me he meant receiving rather than giving and I was quite shocked to be honest! :shock:

:lol: :wink: :wink:

For me, Messi is better. A team player v a self centred show pony. A player that gets kicked to shit and gets on with it and never dives v a player that dives at every feint contact. Messi is the better player and man every time. 8)

Ronaldo's reaction to Bale's goal last night is incredible. Instead of celebrating his team scoring he throws a strop because his own initial attempt failed to go in. What a bone fide 100% prick of a human being.

He's an over-rated diving prick who wasn't worth half the money they paid for him. Fuck him.

My views.

1. Madrid fans are incredible. 2nd Place, QF of CL, Current European champions, good enough? hell no, they can't tolerate a rough patch; spoilt rotten.
2. I like Bale, so he played for them! He didn't stick around long, left when he got the chance, he should have been a gooner had we paid the money for him. Too many british players would rather stick around here rather than go out of their comfort zone.
3. Never ever tempt fate by saying he'll play for utd. Those manc ***** will be a much better team with him in it, so I hope he stays at Madrid.
4. Ronaldo is a complex guy. I'm not sure he was angry at bale but more frustrated that Bale's luck did not befall him, jealous is the word maybe. But is inner selfishness drives him, and as a consequence the team. At least he works hard for his talent, unlike people who drop off after a few years of success.
5. Messi is greedy too. He is human. Everything is orchestrated around him, that's reasonable, and players sacrifice their games for the benefit of messi. Messi doesn't always look for a team mate in a better position, but you can't argue with his stats. He usually pushes other players wide so he can be in the box ready to score. Ronaldo is not too different in this respect.
