Ronaldo is younger than Rooney. Shows what laying off the booze and fags does for your career.


Ronaldo is 8 months older than Rooney and looks like he could have another World Cup in him yet. Although Rooney is England's record goalscorer, his tournament record is terrible. I can't remember many decent performances from him in the last 3/4 years either.

To remain the best takes dedication.

Not taking any sides but, because Rooney has played all his career in the competitive and physical Premier where we're always told they play more games wouldn't that knacker Rooney before Ronaldo.

Pretty sure Ronaldo is and has always been tee total, has his own cryogenic chamber to help his body recover which has helped him play at the top level for most of his career as a result.....
George Best wasnt tee total, Gazza wasnt tee total...etc etc
Your right. Have to admire him even though I think Messi is still better

Rooney developed physically much younger than Ronaldo - he was built like a fully grown man at 16 whilst Ronaldo was still a take at 21. He's then aged a lot earlier as well. The fags and the booze and the lack of comparable ability probably haven't helped either.

Incredible how a top level athlete can smoke.To know how bad smoking is for you and still do it is sickening.Remember reading that even light smokers who smoke up to 5  cigarettes a week raises the chances of you getting cancer by 5-10 %

Just been speaking to someone who was speaking to one of the Town players yesterday.
He reckons this is the fittest he has ever seen a squad at pre-season.  The new players are raring to go and moral is genuinely high. I guess we have to wait to see what happens on the pitch, but as we suspected, MJ seems to be getting it seriously right off it.

I won't be judging us on friendlies though, good or bad.  But let's hope the good feelings are justified.

I've never understood why that gets trotted out. The premier league has the same amount of teams as La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1.

The Premier League has more foreign players than English players so we can't say that the England players have played more games than any other nationality.  All of their players play the same number of games nowadays.

Just watched a program on Sky tonight which followed some of the young Lions. It showed one Southampton player coming back from a long injury. The Saints training complex is out of this world. It must have cost tens of millions to set up. There is every type of sports and fitness expert there to help him through his recovery. It also followed Jack Butland through his recovery from serious ankle injury. He even went to Dubai to a specialist sports injury clinic, complete with its own MRI scanner to help his recovery. It was a real eye opener to see the lengths that top clubs go to.

Exactly my point.  It would seem that MJ has signed players that still look after themselves close season.  Thus fitter than previous squads at this stage. Dedicated, as opposed to just earning a living.  Some players let themselves go a bit then work on it pre-season.  Apparently, not this bunch !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

For about 7/8 years now, Ronaldo has been at the top very top of peak fitness, a complete athlete. Rooney has never been that. Rooney has always been big and upon getting older, he bilked up and lost his pace. Ronaldo, on the other hand, bulked up and kept his pace, which is pretty phenomenal really.
