How I rank my all time players (Thread)
• Ability (skillset, versatility)
• Peak
• Longevity
• Adaptability
• RESILIENCE (How you play against elite defences)
• Impact on the game
• Iconic moments (Clutch, awe inspiring etc)
Cristiano in January 2022: “I know the way (to fix the club) but I’m not going to say it, because it’s not ethical for me (to say it).”
This has been on his mind for a long time, he’s finally speaking up.

‘Worst manager ever’ vs Mr ‘Eras come to an end’
Wayne Rooney
• 3 transfer requests
• Transfer request to City
• Wanted to leave because SAF subbed him a few times
• Refused to play in SAFs farewell game, making everything about himself
• 11 league goals in his prime years
At Real Madrid, this is NOT a legend.

‘Worst manager ever’ vs Mr ‘Eras come to an end’
I’m not saying he’s had a bad season, but I struggle to think of a BdO winner who’s had such a drop in performance in the season after the one he won a BdO for.
🗣 Erik ten Hag: “I see that it is a good sign that we are fifth but we are aware that we have to score more goals — we [also] have to improve on other elements in football.”
Cristiano Ronaldo: “My decision to join Saudi clubs was 100% crucial to bring in new top players. It’s a fact”. 🇸🇦
“When I joined Juventus, Serie A was dead and then after I signed… it was revived. Wherever Cristiano goes he generates higher interest”.
Still the best szn in English football history, nobody else will be able to replicate what he did. He played out of position with a defensive FB behind him and nuked the entire continent.

This is not KB9 slander. This is for the people who act like CR was just poaching and KB9 was facilitating everything.

In the 3 years they progressed past the group stage they were CARRIED by two Portuguese men who were demonised for being right about the club.
🚨🔴 Ten Hag on Cristiano Ronaldo’s comments: “He said that Man United can’t win the Premier League. He said this, if you read the article very well”.
“Ronaldo is far away in Saudi, far away from Manchester. Everyone can have an opinion. It’s okay!”.
Euro 2012: 5 players tied (CR7 included), Torres wins on assists and then minutes
Euro 2021: 2 players tied, Ronaldo wins on assists
If this method of sharing the golden boot was used, Ronaldo would have 2, not 1.
UEFA have ROBBED Ronaldo, thank you for exposing them 👏
🚨 Eden Hazard during the 10/11 season
“I take (after) Cristiano because I’m more like that (style)”
“Cristiano for me is the best player in the world”
A decade later, the Madrid flop would spout bullshit about ‘PuRe FoOtBaLL’.
Source: “Erik ten Hag wants Marcus to be United’s No 1 striker and lead the line up front. He believes Marcus has the ability to become one of the world’s best and wants him to express himself in matches.”

Ronaldo’s child was ill at the start of July, as he and his partner did not post for around the first 2 weeks, with Rio confirming this.
Ronaldo was training around 5 days before this. She had quite clearly recovered by then.
Absolutely disgusting fanbase.

Juventus with CR7
• 5 trophies
• 2.20 Points Per Game
Juventus post CR7
• 0 trophies
• 1.6 Points Per Game
The fact that CR7, Pirlo and Sarri were scapegoated by the media for half a decade of mismanagement is a DISGRACE.
What’s everyone’s favourite underrated Ronaldo goal? Here’s mine. He uses the roaming defender as a screen to create space, then uses a dart to separate from his man, then leaps and scores a bullet header. Curry, Rice and Jordan all rolled into one.
It’s not ranked 58th. There’s no official global league ranking. That screenshot comes from ‘TeamForm’ which is a website created to aid gamblers. It has the Brazilian League above Ligue 1, and Ligue 1 closer to the Czech and Swiss leagues in points than the PL.
@ronaldosbetterv
The league is ranked 58th in the world. Factually, there are teams in the Saudi league that are at a lower level than conference sides.
The same dog James Westwood wrote this article, only for Ronaldo to deliver the Arab Cup and transform football
9k per year in student loans to study sports journalism for this 😭😭😭😭😭 what a sad soul
🚨 WORLD RECORD BROKEN 🚨
HARRY MAGUIRE IS NOW THE MOST RELEGATED PLAYER IN FOOTBALL HISTORY!
HE NOW HAS FIVE CAREER RELEGATIONS FOLLOWING ENGLAND’S NATIONS LEAGUE RELEGATION.
Now we know why he wears number 5. 👏
Been consistently world class for 10 years, winning everything available and still dominating in performance and stats only to be ranked behind Marcus Rashford and Luis Diaz.
Toni Kroos is the most disrespected player of all time.
Manchester United average 1.63 expected goals conceded Per 90 with Wout Weghorst on the pitch.
This would rank 17th in the Premier League this season.
Defensive striker. 💪 🇳🇱
Look at how deep Ronaldo is dropping. Truly the best midfielder in the world when he wants to be. Controlling the pace and tempo of the game like a true maestro.
"The petulance, the sulking, it's got to stop."
@GNev2
believes Cristiano Ronaldo's career could become 'a bit of a scruffy end' if his 'petulance' doesn't stop 🎙️💬
Ronaldo goal context stats
Prem, La Liga, Serie A

When Cristiano lost his son there was none of this.
When Cristiano Ronaldo’s daughter was in hospital for 2 weeks, the club did not protect him.
When Cristiano came back, the manager insulted him, saying “he has to prove he can score a goal”
Manchester United. 🤢
🚨 Manchester United will offer Marcus Rashford counselling if he reaches out for help.
United are taking the situation very seriously and are committed to supporting Rashford physically and mentally through another dark period.

“Ronaldo couldn’t handle the South American teams in Copa America”
Lionel Messi has FOUR goals in 19 games vs South American teams in the Copa America.
These teams were ranked: 64th. 85th. 77th. 36th. Ronaldo has never played vs a team ranked below 40th in EUROs.
TIFO football/The Athletic have a HILARIOUS Ronaldo agenda. They said his 15m transfer to United was the worst PL transfer this decade.
Ahead of Richarlison (60m), Lukaku (100m), Sancho (70m), Silva (35m), VDB (40m)
They said a guy who bagged 24 and made PL TOTY is worse…
The difference is in the level of the opponents of each one.
Against the top 75 teams in the FIFA Ranking, Messi has scored 63 goals and Cristiano Ronaldo 64, with a goal ratio of 0.46 for Messi and 0.50 for Cristiano.
Very even numbers.
In the World Cup/Euros
Bernardo Silva
14 games
0 goals
0 assists
Francisco Conceição
5 minutes
1 goal
Chico is CLEAR of the Benfica Virus Bernardo Silva. Attacking threat from the RW will always triumph over shitty passbacks and no creativity.
Never heard anyone say
• Valverde sacrificed for Benz
• Rooney sacrificed for Berba
• Suarez sacrificed for Messi
• Firmino sacrificed for Salah
• Di Maria sacrificed for Neybappe
I’ve only heard the word ‘sacrificed’ in one instance in a footballing context.
Strange.
NONSENSE.
Juventus outperformed their xG by 23 in 17/18. They were a weak offensive team, masked by UNSUSTAINABLE finishing/luck.
Their xG as a team IMPROVED when Ronaldo joined.
17/18: 1.57 xG per game
18/19: 1.61 xG per game with Ronaldo on the pitch.
