@hooroo Indeed. Even I'm wanting Arsenal to do better.
Fairly convinced Arteta is not the way forwards.
Let's just leave him there for a bit longer....

Even Arteta has won some silverware, unlike Spurs. 
Arsenal still need to get rid of a lot of dead wood, and need a right back and attacking midfielder ASAP.
rumour of the day is Ronaldo out of Juve,
and in to City
surely not?
Liverpool's Group is pretty tough, especially if it was the 90s. But that's what you get for finishing 4th. Not sure i can see another Group where a really good team is in danger?

Maybe group A if Leipzig car bounce back from losing their manager and top two defenders.
This will suck shit.
Man City is easily my most hatiest ((c) Hooroo) team, but I love watching Ronaldo play.
Proper proper mixed emotions on this one.

The sauces are suggesting that Cristanio Ronaldo is about to move from Juventus to Man City.
Looking forward to the reaction from the red side of Manchester.
The drama would be fantastic. I'd love to see it.
Hopefully they managed to fuck up and not win champions trophy again, plus sell Stirling somewhere so that when Ronaldo retires or moves on is another year or two they have to break open the chequebook again.
The BBC think that Ronaldo is currently in talks to rejoin Man Utd.
People tracking Ronaldo's private jet says it is heading from Turin to Lisbon. Off to see his mum and his agent before heading to Manchester? Or is he rejoining Sporting CP?
Ronaldo to rejoin Manchester United. The thing is though, what they really need is a Right Back.
Good old football, it keeps on throwing up the story lines. Really not sure if Man U have any strategy as such but this signing is sure to appeal to the fans. Suspect Cavani and Ronaldo won't play together too often but they will try to have one of them on the pitch at all times. And Martial would leave if he wasn't being paid so much.
Their wage bill must be astronomical given it was allegedly 212m pounds per year without Ronaldo. And he was on over 26m pounds per year at Juventus and I would think United will have to match that.

That's a lot of shirts to sell
@kiwipie I read somewhere that Ronaldo has already signed the first part of his contract and he will be Man Utd's top earner. Relations between Juventus and Ronaldo broke down because they wanted him to take a pay cut.
Man Utd's share price went up 8% in the hours after the news broke so the deal will pay for itself.
Sounds like it was a phone call from Sir Alex Ferguson that swung it for United, but it looks like Solskajer was always going to bid for Ronaldo if he became available.
Ronaldo has been an absolutely fantastic player for the last 15 years but there are four question marks about his signing for me. At 36 (37 in February), how many games will Ronaldo play? What about the looming legal case concerning the 2009 Las Vegas incident? All his team mates from 2008 have retired, how will he fit into this United dressing room? What does this mean for United's other Centre Forwards?
I wouldn't be surprised to see Martial and/or Greenwood loaned out now.
