It's SAF - he says what he wants, plus he's old, and old people usually joke about younglings. If R9 wants to insult him, then he needs at least 26 years of managerial experience to make sure his insult is strong enough. Too many butthurt fans here, lmao.
how can fegie call any1 fat, the ugly old purple nose whisky face snob
should look at his own players who are still playing the game and are over weight like rooney and phil jones
Old man Sir Alex decides to disrespect a younger man by calling him fat and you think he should take it in good fate and not respond just because its Alex Ferguson who called him fat! Too many idiots on this site
Well that's the traditional way of thinking, young ones should never disrespect elders by all means. Both were being childish to be honest, calling people names and cursing one team to lose all its game is not something I expect to hear from a grown up.
@Shiwa Ummm, are you serious? R9's response came AFTER the idiotic comment made by SAF. As far as I can see, R9 handled it well. He gave it an "end of story".
@Ssoblasted Are you SERIOUS??? A Chelsea fan with the hypocritical nerve to talk about "disgraces to the game"???? I'm just leaving it at that mate....
That m0nkey should know better than disrespecting a LEGEND like Ronaldo. Look at his sore loser fans who are still crying over the defeat by Madrid, saying Ronaldo is wrong here..
Yep, its classy to say 'i wish SAF's team lose every single game from now on' because Saf called him fat. So very classy.
I think you should look up 'classy' in the dictionary
R9 is class but he got arrogant in his plays when he played later parts of his Real Madrid DAYS. But he did gain weight so what does he expect to perform his best overweight..please.
The entire world knows the guy had/has a thyroid problem that caused his weight to balloon. I'm sure SAF knew that. So why clown him for being fat?? His treatment for it is illegal, otherwise he still might be playing. SAF knows his story, so to call him fat and old is really classless. He could have called SAF a red-nosed whiskey guzzler like a lot people who poke fun at him do, but he kept it cool. There's a big difference between wishing a team you never cheered for to lose and calling a legend fat and old.
R9 - the best player that have ever graced the pitch, better than Messi, CR7, Figo, Zidane, Batistuta, Maradona, Pele, Ronaldinho and Ibrahimovic combined, the absolute CLASSY legend.
And he achieved all that, not with his exploits on the pitch, but by throwing a bitch fit at SAF because he called him fat.
That automatically makes him a club legend for every team other than United.
ABU army is strong, but its mostly comprised from brain-dead people, to everyone else with a half-brain, R9 is a fat has-been who can't even handle being called fat without acting like a 10 year old girl.
Here's an idea: get a haircut
More like the media fabricating and ronaldo responding to a question.
If it did indeed happen go find me the video, recording, or article with direct quotes. Until then it's media bullshit and you self righteous fans are having a field day because you were waiting for any half-dead reason to slag off fergie
And from the Guardian, with a direct quote:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/mar/04/manchester-united-real-madrid-ronaldo-ferguson?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487
"The older one, the fatter one, he was at his peak as a centre forward then. [Cristiano] Ronaldo is a supreme unbelievable athlete. He never misses a game, he has pace, physique, great in the air. They are different types of course but our main worry is not what happened 10 years ago but what happens now."
WOW he said Brazilian ronaldo was older and fatter than cristiano!! He didnt call him old and fat, he said the OLDER and FATTER one. Those are called relatavistic terms, not absolutes!! What did he say there that deserves all this vitriol? You guys are insane, trying to make an issue out of nothing. Brazilian ronaldo is older and fatter than cristiano, is he not? And it is now undignified for someone to point that out when trying to compare two people? Puh-lease. Time to grow up.
Sure he could have said brazilian ronaldo, but he didn't. And that's cause to vilify..fergie? I don't think that was a shot at ronaldo, he was being casual, you guys are making a big deal of nothing.
He said older and fatter, he didnt say ronaldo was old and fat. Guess what, fergie is older and fatter than brazilian ronaldo. Is that newsworthy? When are you guys going to start slagging me off?
Let me guess, you wont, because it isn't a big deal.
I think SAF should have just said Brazilian Ronaldo: totally his mistake. Ronaldo handled really well, trying to joke it off.
Bottom line: Brazilian Ronaldo is just too good to be compared to CR7, so far.
Ronaldo shouldnt have said stuff like that aswell no matter what SAF said. Hes just as bad. Honestly this incident is just childish...Both needs to stfu and get on with it.

But seriously, when did fergie say this? I can't find one reliable quote anywhere. People just looking for a reason to slag off fergie, muppets!
Anyways i'm not surprised at this overreaction by you self-righteous fans, carry on haters.

"Real Madrid shut his mouth for me,"
"It was a lack of respect. A professional of his age, an English Sir, should not be so disrespectful. It was not classy."
"I have no words for this gentleman, except that I hope the team he manages always loses"
