It isn't about the money anymore he's literally a billionaire in $ according to forbes. The amount of money he generates off the field is staggering. He was(is) planning to retire from playing @40. I, for one, wouldn't be
surprised if he went back to his first love at SL Guaranteed a place, calls the shot's "Big fish, small pond"
He could probably buy the club if he wanted to!

CR7 could learn a thing or two about running from Sir Jimmy.

I can't believe people calling out CR7.

He loves his country, witness Euro 2016 final when he was injured.

A brilliant footballer, one of the best I have seen in my life.

Think there is a lot of jealousy about. I just wish he had been born in Rhyl!

He is a brilliant footballer , a showman you could also say . Recent stuff has blotted his copy book though . I don’t particularly find him exciting as a player , he can score goals that’s no doubt. I like players whom make things look easy. They orchestrate, see the whole field .

This weekend the Championship returns after the WC enforced break yet the PL doesn't return for another two weeks.

Clearly many PL players have been involved in the WC so there is some logic to suspending the competition. What I can't fathom is why the Championship returns two weeks earlier? I can only assume the football authorities presume EFL players are unlikely to play for countries involved in the QFs.

Anyone know the logic behind this?

It doesn't make much sense, just as suspending the EFL didn't in the first place.

Too many games to catch up in Champ if you suspend for any longer and a nod to the fact that a lot of players will be back already, most clubs won't have more than the odd player missing, if that.

If I have read this thread rightly it seems like 'H&M' was going to be received negatively.

I watched the first 3 episodes last night and it was ok viewing. Thoughts (from a very anti-monarchist):

Interesting to watch the couple's PR machine in full flow.

Another pair of Celebs who really want the exposure the various media streams give them when it suits them.

They are clearly besotted with each other and appear very much in love.

Meghan is clearly a very intelligent lady (good academic success) and highly articulate.

Harry comes across as pretty down to Earth albeit with a few hesitative looks on some things Meghan said.

A few minor digs at the 'Royal Institution' - they will no doubt be expanded upon further in subsequent episodes.

The Papparazzi have learned absolutely nothing from 1997.

***

Not a bad watch at all and looking forward to the next 3 episodes.

I'm guessing Harry will play the midfield enforcer role, and Megan left wing?

(or is it just possible you're on the wrong thread?)

OK OK, I am awarding myself a gold star for being CC's idiot of the day.

I tried to think of a suitable get out excuse but could only come up with 'my hands are cold' as I had just got home from a walk around the village and it is -6C out there - but that sounded a bit lame tbh.

More likely; I am getting too old to be using techy gear to interface with the wider world.
