Cristiano Ronaldo.
Goals scored: 16.
Goal assists : 12.

You can't argue with that, can you?

[Forsberg]

No end product though.

A less skillful Peter Beagrie without the tash and somersault celebration . A mockery of a player

[Otto_the_bus_driver]

An Anders Limpar without the abillity to lob from the halfway line. Lets see Wrongaldo do that.

Less pace than Damien Duff's granny. Rubbish altogether.

Cant stand Ronaldo, but he definately has pace... Useless player tho'.

A fair cop.

He is always nicely turned out and punctuality is never a problem with him though.
Tis swings and roundabouts i suppose.

We are up to 22 goals in all comps and loads of assists

Hope he doesn't get injured

United have managed at various stages without Scholes, Rooney and Giggs, but this guy is on fire at the moment

Funnily enough, with all the hoo-hah, Woodgate is on the record as saying that it was a definite penalty the other day.

[Otto_the_bus_driver]

Well Woodgate was nowhere near the ball.

Southgate also changed his tune and said it was a legit penalty in the fixture earlier in the season.

maybe he is just too good

[STEVIEG]

Roy Keane has spoken of his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo and admits he would pay to watch him play.

The Manchester United winger has been dubbed 'the best in the world' by numerous pundits, and his former captain feels that statement is deserved.

"I think Ronaldo is outstanding." he said

"If you had asked me two or three years ago I would have told you he could go on to be the best player in the world.

"I thought that would happen after he had been playing over a longer period of time, but his form this season has been a different class.

"The skills Ronaldo has are frightening," he added. "He is an entertainer and fans at United love that.

"It is great to see and they are the type of players you would pay to watch."

United are still in line to land an historic Treble and Ronaldo has played a massive part in that standing.

He has scored an impressive 16 goals so far this season making him the leading scorer at the club ahead of the likes of Wayne Rooney and Louis Saha.

Keane, who was part of the Treble-winning side in 1999, believes United can go on and land that feat again.

"I am sure the Treble win of 1999 could be emulated," he said. "They are in good form - but they need luck, though."

The Sunderland boss, who has been enjoying a good run of form with his club in the Championship in his first managerial role, is looking forward to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

He believes United have a good chance of being the second English club in three years to land the European trophy.

He said: "It'll be hard but I think an English team has a good chance this year."

[nemesis]

Maybe he is just too good. Speaking to journalists after the Portugal game at the weekend:

Am I the best in the world? I have been improving my game and I'm in a great shape this year. I feel mature. The Manchester United players are by my side and I also have a great help in the national team. But of course I believe I am one of the best.

Christ, I love that kid.

I couldn't give a flying fuck to be honest

Someone sent in a request for me to play something for the Cork Admirals who were in action this weekend-

I played it

What's the big deal?

I don't know the first thing about American football

I also wished Cork City best of luck as we as a station have a link with them and soccer is my specialist field

I then wished all the other Cork teams best of luck as i am fully aware that there is loads of hurling, football, rugby, camogie and other stuff on too

I'm sure i missed a few chess matches too and some road bowling

I always wish our temas well no matter what the code

If some smalltime wanker on a internet site has a problem with that fine, taking it as an insult is embarassing to be honest

If someone had wished Cork good luck it would have been played too
The fact is, noone did, i'm sure these requests will come in as the season gets in full swing

I've always supported Cork teams of all codes

Quote me on this if you want, i'm not a visitor to that website and i'm embarassed to see that someone posted that

Tell the keyboard hero to email me or the station of he really has problem





Now i really don't know waht this has to do with Ronaldo, but then again, when it's not going right, you are always quick to change the subject

So sort it out

Coming with this smalltime shit before made you come back with an apology so i don't see what you need to bring it up again

http://observer.guardian.co .uk/sport/story/0,,2042176,00.html

Let's all dive in and agree that Ronaldo is footballer of the year


Paul Wilson
Sunday March 25, 2007
The Observer

'He winks to the left,
He winks to the right,
Sky's boy Geoff Shreeves,
Spoiled Ferguson's night.'

Apologies for adapting one of the more amusing Old Trafford chants, and I am aware that Manchester United fans normally sing 'plays on the left/right' to avoid any suggestion that Cristiano Ronaldo might have anything to wink about, but the television interview that has been dividing the nation all week will clearly be remembered for longer than the FA Cup quarter-final and may even come to rival Kevin Keegan's plaintive 'I'd love it' rant in 1996

ky were handed that memorable and much loved footage on a plate. A couple of routine questions and Keegan suddenly unburdened himself before a startled audience. Monday's drama was rather more forced. Considering Sky had hauled Ronaldo before the cameras to present him with the man-of-the-match award their line of interrogation was pointed, to say the least, and Ferguson was bound to be upset about his player having to defend himself against allegations of serial cheating.
On the other hand, at least half the country is probably of the opinion that Ronaldo does cheat, or has in the past, and Shreeves would have been accused of ducking the issue had he merely patted the player on the back and complimented him on his performance. Not only did Shreeves show persistence and no little bravery in asking awkward questions, he was rewarded with the journalistic equivalent of gold dust when a slightly exasperated Ronaldo suggested one of the reasons controversy follows him around might be: 'Because I'm too good.'

That quote was assiduously picked up by all the following day's newspapers, and just as with Keegan and 'I'd love it...' it is safe to assume it will follow Ronaldo around for some time to come. It will certainly turn up again before the end of the season, because the controversy that dogs Ronaldo is currently the only thing preventing him being a shoo-in for footballer of the year.

Well, perhaps not the only thing. There is also Didier Drogba, whose goals in what still could prove an extremely successful Chelsea campaign make him Ronaldo's only rival for the individual honours. Drogba has done his share of diving, too, yet it is precisely the notion that he has cleaned up his act and concentrated on staying on his feet this season that makes him a more acceptable choice in many people's eyes. Deserving as Drogba might be, however, what with all the joy in heaven over a sinner who repents, the perception that Ronaldo remains unrepentant is what is currently keeping the Chelsea player in the running.

That is why Ferguson will soon ban his players from accepting television man-of-the-match awards, or else send Carlos Queiroz to pick them up on their behalf. Not because he is unduly worried about where the player-of-the-season awards end up, but because when he is trying to persuade talented young foreigners to remain in this country it is not helpful to have them ambushed by antagonistic questions on live television.

This is not solely a television agenda, either. Ferguson has only just finished calming his player down and persuading him he is valued in this country after the ridiculous furore that surrounded England's exit from the last World Cup when Wayne Rooney got himself sent off, but newspapers perversely chose to heap the blame on a certain winking Portugal winger. That stigma, to use Ferguson's description, still adheres to Ronaldo, who has unquestionably been the most exciting Premiership player on view this season despite attracting shrill criticism disproportionate to his actual crimes.

Even Jonathan Woodgate, the player who conceded the penalty on Monday night, said Ronaldo had not dived.

Suggestions that Ronaldo falls over too easily and makes the most of slight contact or minimal fouling are not groundless, but there are at least two members of the current England team who have won penalties for their clubs in exactly the same way this season, without coming anywhere close to inciting a riot.

Ronaldo plays the modern game in a modern way - even Gareth Southgate admitted through gritted teeth last week that he is very good at what he does - and gets far more things wonderfully right than badly wrong. Make him a scapegoat for England's failure in Germany if you must, or use him as a convenient way of continuing to hate United while carrying a sneaky regard for Rooney, but let it not be said that in the Premiership we do not recognise an exceptional player when we see one.

Because this could easily turn out to be his last season in England. Some people will be cheered up by that, but I intend to give him my vote for footballer of the year while I still have the chance. It makes me a hostage to fortune, I know, given that Drogba's goals could yet win the European Cup for Chelsea and Ronaldo's reputation for diving could resurface and make all his defenders look foolish. But, with respect to Drogba and Michael Essien, I don't think anyone has been as influential over the course of the season.

That's why Ronaldo keeps picking up man-of-the-match awards, though if he receives any more character assassinations masquerading as bottles of champagne he should tell the interviewer where to insert them. He could feel the same way about recognition by football writers, too, and that would be just as understandable. He might ride off into the sunset like Gary Cooper at the end of High Noon, tin star tossed into the dust, bound for warmer climes where people appreciate him.

Not too good for England. Just too good for a happy ending.

[Edmund Blackwater]

If he =keeps bangin them in against the Watfords of this world and continues doing all his tricks, which are actually one 'trick', then he's a shoe in for player of the season. The fact that manyoo fans love him and the retards in the media, especially match of the day, love him is demonstrative of all that's wrong with the game.
the fact is that the lad is a cheat. If he can sort that out, then he can be judged as a sportsman.

[RonnyB]

Michael Schumacher was a cheat, so was Maradona. Klinsmann was another. Dont get me worng the diving annoys the fuck outta me but Ronaldo's ability shouldnt be judged on it.

Fair enough, He didn't try to get anyone sent off, though.
The drugs thing is a little different. It was a personal problem. It's not like he was taking performance enhancing drugs (was nandrolone detected in 94? can't remember). What about the best defender in England tm?
I don't think I ever saw Maradona dive. Can't think of one off the top of my head anyway.

Nobody is making any such comparison. You're the one who said he could never never be considered a sportsmen because he's a cheat- Ronny B pointed out three great sportsmen who had no scruples whatsoever when it cam to dabbling with the darker arts of the trade.

Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year by the Professional Footballers' Association.
The 22-year-old winger is the first player to win both awards in the same season since Andy Gray in 1977.

The Portuguese star has recovered from last year's World Cup controversy to help United battle for three trophies.

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba was second and Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes third in the senior award.


Learn the Ronaldo chop
Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs, last year's winner Steven Gerrard of Liverpool and 19-year-old Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas also made ths shortlist.


606: DEBATE
Do you agree with the PFA results?

Ronaldo was booed at the start of the season for his part in Wayne Rooney's sending off in the World Cup quarter-final match between England and Portugal in Germany.

But he has bounced back superbly and has so far scored 16 Premiership goals this season to fire United to the top of the table.

The winger said it was a big honour to be singled out by his peers.

He said: "It is a special night. It is amazing and a big honour for me to win trophies like this in the English Premier League. I am very proud.


I think he is the best player in the world and his season has been incredible

Sir Alex Ferguson

"My colleagues have voted for me and that is fantastic because the players know the qualities of players.

"I want to keep working hard and getting better because these trophies have now given me more motivation.

"This great team has helped me because when the team wins it is easier for us all to play with more confidence."

Fabregas was second and Tottenham's Aaron Lennon, 20, third in the voting for the young player award.

Ronaldo's team-mate Wayne Rooney (21) was also shortlisted, as were Reading striker Kevin Doyle, 23, and 18-year-old defender Micah Richards of Manchester City.

Eight Manchester United players made it into the team of the year while manager Sir Alex Ferguson was honoured with the PFA Special Merit Award.

Ferguson paid tribute to Ronaldo, who joined United from Sporting Lisbon in a £12.2m deal in August 2003.

"At this moment in time, I think he is the best player in the world and his season has been incredible," he said.


PFA Premier League Team of the Year:
Edwin van der Sar, Gary Neville, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra (all Man Utd); Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Cristiano Ronaldo (all Man Utd) and Steven Gerrard (Liverpool); Didier Drogba (Chelsea) and Dimitar Berbatov (Tottenham)
