He's won plenty of silverware, mind. A weird career he's had.

Because it's obviously complete bollocks. Yeah, I don't dare say it because I may not look like the most neutral dude around regarding Cronaldo, but if this was true the likes of Marca and As and the Madrid TVs would be all over it until it got drilled into our skulls and passed through our genes to our children and grandchildren. A bit of googling only says that the NGO couldn't confirm the news when reached for comment. Anyway, Cronaldo does have a pretty good track record of helping out in these kind of causes; regardless of the outcome of this.

I hate you guys.

This has barely been reported in Spain, btw. It's strange given the obsessive coverage we get from him and Messi ("Come and see Ronaldo's new lawn ornaments!" "Messi takes a dump, stay tuned for extensive coverage and analysis of his feces").

Joeyt and SEMTEX, only one of you is allowed to have a Homer Simpson avatar because I keep confusing you two. Fight it out.

It's based on the Valencia flag, they almost always wear a variation of that design as their 2nd or 3rd kit.

if ronaldo's life goes to form it'll come out that messi has been donating 50% of his wages to children's charities since age 17 To be frank, Messi is facing trial for tax fraud so I'm doubtful

I love how he doesn't seem to have any Real Madrid shirt from recent times, despite the fact we've played each other 200000000000 times. He probably got those Benzema, Van Nistelrooy and Raúl shirts during 2008-2010 and then nothing after they signed Mourinho and on-pitch rivalry between both teams soured

That's what I thought (and see whenever you see their games on TV) - yet the new stand is sold out from season tickets for next season, and there's a waiting list of around 5000 for the opposite end when that's expanded too Same happens with us; we rarely fill the whole Camp Nou (100k seats...) yet we sell out all the STs with ease, so it's a cash cow.

Damn that title, I just keep on clicking this thread thinking it's the Messi one

If you don't get relegated, the best outcome for everybody involved is that he stays imho. It's still too soon for him to move somewhere else, and Ashley and co will probably be aware that he'll command a far greater fee in a few years.

Was he playing for Man Utd that year they hammered Roma? The 5 or 6-1 where even Alan Smith scored? He was on loan at Zaragoza that season. They played them in the Champions League the year after but Totti didn't play in either game, even though Pique did. The Vieira one's bugging me. The only time I remember Barca playing Inter, Vieira was already at Man City, and I don't think they'd have crossed over at international level. Edit: FFS, old BBC match reports getting five hits at the exact same time I'm not that certain it's Vieira. Didn't he always wear #4 for Arsenal and France? I'm not certain either. He did wear 14 for Inter and it does look like an Inter shirt based on the font and that, but like I said their paths don't really cross. Bet he's getting them off classicfootballshirts or something. Inter, of course! Vieira was an unused sub in 2009 when we turned them 2-0 at Camp Nou (which would match the away shirt). Maybe he asked him for it.

Was he playing for Man Utd that year they hammered Roma? Googled it, he didn't play in any of the two legs. I can't see Totti switching shirts with the 232423th choice CB anyway They played them two years running. He played in this one: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/7332289.stm Found the highlights on youtube and Roma wore the same kit as in the photo. Good sleuthing.

I struggle to think when he could've got that Totti shirt, since it looks like a Roma away kit and I don't think we've played them in ages.

Piqué has posted part of his shirt collection: http://estaticos02.marca.com/imagenes/2015/05/10/futbol/equipos/barcelona/1431277167_extras_noticia_foton_7_0.jpg

Just Dear Suárez, Score goals, don't bite anyone. Cheers, VI.

I have said that repeatedly, but it's pretty damning that after all the money they've spent, City have such a soso squad (for a supposedly top team). But that's what you get when you sign a former Barça DoF.

It's crazy. When he's winning it's all down to him, when he's not it's not his fault. http://s30.postimg.org/r53ugo20x/Hypno_Pardew.png

Come on Atlético! Would be better for us if they have secured 3rd place when we go there.

Levante up; Atlético are in a bit of a slide at the moment; they'll put the third place at risk at this pace.

Cheers, I expected that but I wanted to test it anyway.

Can you lot watch the video at this link? http://videos.marca.com/v/dmmsF1khYaf-el-robo-con-ruleta-de-neymar.html It's legal - Marca have a deal with the broadcaster to post highlights - but I don't know if it's geo-locked (it probably is). Marca always post a bunch of sweet moves after games, and was wondering if it's worth to post them here from time to time. There's also La Liga's official youtube channel: . I suppose it's legit if I post it. Again, it's probably geolocked.

He certainly doesn't seem to have the best football brain around, but he's isolated plenty of times. Whenever I watch you, I often see him beat a man and find himself without options after that, usually fluffing the play as a result.
