its been done by roma before, was disallowed then too though
also been done in spanish league, and without being whistled, but without scoring
ferguson said that he wouldnt bother trying this again, but he had been wanting to do it for 40 years after he had seen celtic pull it off in 1967.

phil you probably saw it in liechtenstein vs germany (0-6) match. but it has been done many times before and should have been allowed.

I'm really glad Kaka straight out rejected Man City. I mean it's not that surprising considering Man City is a mid table team but it's comforting to see that even in today's football world, money can't buy everything.

more c.ronaldo rumors to real madrid:

- Manager said the deal is done, Manchester just have to agree ( this is the impossible part ) to the terms he agreed with real
- He's manager patented "CR9", meaning that Ronaldo will wear that jersey in real next summer. Of course Saviola will be sold. (he's the current 9)

Watchng C. Ronaldo play you can tell that his heart is no longer with United. Although he has like 8 or 9 goals it just seems like he mind is elsewhere when he is on the pitch. Let's just hope that he doesn't go to Real and suck dick trying to transition into a new team.

Although since most people hate him anyway I'm sure that is what they are hoping for...

Apparently Madrid is going to pay 90 euros, seems excesive to me. They should instead go for Rivery+ Benzema, and they'll still would have some money left to invest somewhere else.

90-100 million euros for anybody is excessive, I don't care how good they are. There's no telling if they will be able to transition into your team, stay injury free, etc. Plus, as iji.psa said, there is a host of other players Real would be better off buying. Also, I'm 90% sure Ronaldo is cup-tied meaning he can't play in the UCL if they sign him this winter.

Thing with Ronaldo is he excelled mostly because of Ferguson's system which had him playing winger/striker so he could be on the end of all those crosses. I don't know if he can score that many goals playing with another team especially Real Madrid since last time I've seen them, they don't use wingers and their strikers always stay up front. This is just a really ugly debacle and has made me dislike Real Madrid immensely.

Real Madrid will not win La Liga this year, apart from winning the La Liga title last season they have done much worse than United both in league and Europe. They have no stability in both management and players. Only reason Ronaldo would leave United for Real would be because he wants to give up winning and fuck hot Spanish women, which would ruin his career. He has won every club and personal honor at the age of 23 but I hope he doesn't become satisfied.

I would think that it's because he has already won everything possible in England, no?

If he could do the same thing with Real Madrid as he did with United (as unlikely as that is), he would probably be considered one of the greats (even more than now).

+ the money and hot Spanish chicks obviously.

The point I agree you the most is that Real Madrid has no stability. It's impossible to make a champion team when every now and then somebody is trying to put down the manager or offering new players if he is elected as manager.

Btw, IMHO Benzema + Ribery > CR7

I read in magazine today(that offer was made today). Were he said about yesterdays offer according to his agent "I am not like Robinho, who would go to team were I cant win anything, just for money."

Imagine if the get Kaka for £500,000 week, then arabs get bored on their real life FM ....
