Sucks to be a United fan, Cristiano Ronaldo is really moving next door to Man City

-

Isn't Cristiano Ronaldo regarded the best player in football? He's even better than Baggio, Pele and Messi in the eyes of his cult like followers. Recent reports from Fabrizio Romano, the football journalist, indicate  that Ronaldo has been looking for a new club.

But we all thought it was just rumors. The last 48 hours has seen
Jorge Mendes, Cristiano Ronaldo's agent jumping club to club offering Cristiano to various big clubs in Europe and maybe  City is just the club for Ronaldo. 

Quick background :City failed to secure Harry Kane earlier in the transfer window because Daniel Levy refused to sell Kane. Why? Because Mancity is looking to retain their premier league title and go for more titles. 

Last season they won the title without a striker and they  might brag and claim they had Aguero but he only starred in 7 games the whole season. Regardless, they need a striker as their rivals, namely Chelsea, United etc. have made additions to their squads and it might be a tough campaign for City if they do not get a striker.


The transfer is a perfect move for Cristiano Ronaldo. Recent reports reveal that personal terms are done and Pep Guardiola talked to him yesterday (26 Aug) morning. It is turning out to be a really unique transfer window for football fans. (Ask Manchester United fans) .

What does this tell you? Loyalty in football is no longer the same as compared to the past. From a fan's viewpoint, this is a betrayal of the highest order. A club legend like Cristiano Ronaldo going to City is going to be something unique. 

City and United do not see eye to eye. They are fierce rivals. Think Everton and Liverpool. The fans despise each other and in this case Ronaldo going to City is going to be quite a moment in the football universe.

Loyalty nowadays will take you nowhere especially if you want to have a good career. For example, a player like Gerrard had an opportunity to join Jose in 2005 but he decided to stay in Liverpool. He ended his career not being a Premier League winner.Sad.

So Ronaldo joining City is not a matter of loyalty and what the fans will see him as, but what's good for his career and his family as well as his financial security. Family and career come first and the other things follow. He is returning to the premier league where there is pressure. And any observer will testify that CR7 thrives in pressure and he will show the world why he is still the best. 

But, is this a good move for Manchester City? They are not known for pursuing  players who are older than 35 y/o but maybe for a player like Ronaldo who is special, he might bring goals and still perform regardless of his age.

It must suck to be a United fan. CR7 is just watching out for his legacy. Who doesn't want to keep winning in life? 

Contentainment and all that other stuff

The Dating Cheat Sheet: Drug Dealers

While the idea may seem exciting; filled with glamour and freebies, it isn’t. Well it can be depending on his rank within the hierarchy, but chances are there’s someone sitting on top of his boss calling the shots.  By Lulu Spaceship Image courtesy of Power, Starz I moved back home to Nairobi last year, and granted being 27 and trying to make new friends is already a tough journey, but trying to date, I promise you is even harder.  I met Lewis* on July 11th of last year. He worked under a friend’s boyfriend and we met casually at her house. I was taken aback by his 6” tattooed self (as one usually is) and his delicately long eyelashes. He cooked, he was sensitive and I was impressed. We dated briefly leading to the end of the year. It was an amazing experience, I wasn’t sure if this was the forever plan but I cared for him truly. I fed him while he drove us around, listened to him complain about the people he knew and even met his sister’s toddler daughter when I used to stay ...

Will I Get Arrested for Posting About Drugs on Social Media? Via Vice

The pics most likely to land you in prison aren't what you think. By  Anna Samson With around  46.6 million people online  every single day in the UK, the  internet  can feel like a wild and lawless place. Scams and  catfishes  abound, while what people actually end up getting arrested for appears to vary from year to year, person to person and case to case.  Take the England football fan who went viral this summer after shoving a flare up his arse and jubilantly   snorting keys of white powder   on film. “I was off my face and I loved every minute,” he later told the   Sun . But the guy was never questioned by police – so what figures? Does that mean anyone can post anything? Turns out, your posts   can   get you in trouble with the law – but not always in the ways you’d think. With that in mind, here’s what you need to know about posting illegal shit on   social media .  DRUG PHOTOS AND VIDEOS It's the mor...

The Case For Rich Kids And Their Wildly Supportive Parents

-
Image
In picture: Muhoho Kenyatta There is a lot of talk surrounding Entitled or privileged kids. Children who have unlimited financial support from their parents. Rich kids have been spoken ill of and given a bad reputation simply for being the offspring of supportive parents. I want to make a case for the rich kids. The sons and daughters of wildly loving parents who are rightfully obligated to empower their children. The parents I refer to here are those who do everything within their power to provide their progeny with the means to pursue their own happiness.  Now before I start, I wanted to use this platform to say that Entitlement is what parents should always expect from their God given children. Children are brought into this world without their consent. They never ask to be born. It is usually a decision that grown adults, called parents, make on their own. By this reasoning, you can see why parents have to live with the obligation of making their kids happy or facil...

Kenya: A Corruption-Doomed Nation..

Image
I'm not addressing this to any other existing politician either, because there aren't any in high places who seem able to take on the mantle that is now required; they're all too corrupt or caught up in a dying and dysfunctional system.   Yet the appeal itself is still valid and must now be addressed to new leadership and conscious governance that we so desperately need. This vacancy needs filling and there are openings. -          BRIAN O’LEARY May 15,2011 By Sami Zayne Has Kenya become an intellectually neutered society? These are the questions I mull over when I read scores of articles available in the press in which Kenyans continue canonizing latter day politicians. Will the populace ever learn? I ask myself these questions when the average man starts coining phrases ‘But he is our thief’ or the popular one ‘that’s all persecution for his ideology’ that has become associated with one of the modern-day demagogues. “The average man is daft...
