Yes, he was treated so badly, he came back! Same with Klinsmann, Keane, Defoe.

Who turned on him? Me? Please quote me at your earliest opportunity. If Ronaldo goes, he goes, everyone is replaceable, we've done it before.

Don't even pretend there wasn't a backlash against Ronaldo when he did exactly the same as Berbatov and wanted to leave. Then Ferguson just said play or you'll rot in the reserves. Hmm.

So why doesn't he then? Chelsea wasn't a huge name in football (in comparison with today) spend the dosh, the players will come, just as they will with man city. There are plenty of mercenaries knocking about.

Are you blind? I'm not repeating myself a third time.

What a cynic you are. The whole reason for the success of the premier league teams in europe is because of the league as a whole. I don't see the same success coming out of Scotland, where your analogy is probably correct, maybe you're confusing the two. You don't do as well as the English teams have been doing, by competing against 1-legged people (as you put it).

I'm not a cynic. Its wrong for any team to dominate a league, be it United, Liverpool or us. Except it isn't just one, its three. Who wouldn't have predicted the same old 4 finishing top this season? Or next season? There are 10 points between 4th and 5th, and 8 points between 6th and 7th. I'm not expecting you to to agree and say its terrible, but its hardly exciting.
