United fans had to endure even more ridiculous criticism of our Portugese winger earlier this week when he was accused of diving against Fulham. The referee booked him after he went down in the penalty area. I’ve browsed a few football forums and how there is any debate on it is beyond me. As United [...]
Carlos Tevez had a cracking game for United today, working non-stop, despite the ease at which United brushed Derby aside. He closed down every ball in his reach, running up and down the field, striking at goal and attempting to set up others. He scored two of our goals in our 4-1 win at Old [...]
When thinking of Ronaldo, the boy who cried wolf springs to mind. When he joined the club as a skinny teenager, he brought his European tactics of diving along with him. Don’t get me wrong, I am not for one moment suggesting that diving is a foreign activity to English players (eh, Stevie Me? Joe [...]
As Cristiano Ronaldo and Owen Hargreaves stood over the ball in preparation to take a freekick against Sporting Lisbon last night, I imagine I wasn’t the only red pleading for Hargreaves to take it. We’d seen two great freekicks from Hargreaves against Bolton at the weekend, one forcing a great save, and the other rolling [...]
It is no surprise that United struggle without Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, but it is a surprise that they struggle so much, writes Football365.com. I don’t like blaming injuries, and whilst I think there can be a lot of truth to that argument at times, I think it rarely gets you off the hook [...]
Next week will be two years to the day that George Best died, after battling against an alcohol addiction for years. He has been hailed as the greatest player ever in the game time and again, and is often the mark any bright prospect at United is measured against. However, his title as the greatest [...]
Cristiano Ronaldo has been criticised for failing to show up for the big games, and some would say he did little to enhance that reputation today against Arsenal. In his four years at the club, his goal scoring highlights can be summed up with the goal during the derby day FA Cup tie in 2004, [...]
Towards the end of United’s 1-0 win over Roma on Tuesday, Ronaldo received a blow to the head, causing blood to gush from above his eyebrow. He later had four stitches put in, although as yet, has not revealed the damage. The lad is promoting his new book, which goes in to detail over what [...]
Ronaldo left the field last night with blood pouring from his face. The most fouled player in the Premiership 06-07 underwent a few loose challenges before finally he was elbowed in the face by Vucinic. The Roma player’s elbow clashed with Ronaldo just above the eye, and our winger claims it was done on purpose. [...]
A man who scores goals in the League Cup final to bear his waxed muscular chest, who wears diamond earrings, who shags beautiful women, who models clothes, and who at 22 years old, received a clean sweep of the individual player awards, is not going to be a man who can add modesty to his [...]
The summer of 2006 was a very stressful time for United fans. Ronaldo was blamed for England’s exit from the World Cup, after being one of the five Portugese players to crowd the ref as it appeared his team mate got stamped on the bollocks by Rooney. It appeared as though there was no hope [...]
Ronaldo is the most fouled player in the Premiership, and every foul on him is welcomed with a loud cheer from the opposition fans. Yeh, he deserved to get his legs taken away from him, yeh go on, break the bastards legs. It’s entirely acceptable to feel this way right, because…well, it’s his fault Rooney [...]
Monday 19th March 2007, FA Cup: Manchester United 1 Boro 0 Cristiano Ronaldo’s second-half penalty was enough to send Manchester United through to the FA Cup semi-finals. Ronaldo was chopped down from behind by Jonathan Woodgate with the winger clinically dispatching the spot-kick. Middlesbrough fans accused Ronaldo of diving, but after the game, Woodgate spoke [...]
Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo has been a scapegoat for a lot of things since his arrival to the Premiership, and despite his attempts to clean up his act when it comes to diving, it appears as though the damage has already been done. When Manchester United met Middlesbrough in the league back in December, they [...]
I remember vividly the overwhelming feeling of utter disappointment in June 1998 when the referee pulled out the red card, sending David Beckham off against Argentina just after the second half had begun. Disappointment for England, sure, but disappointment for Beckham, who was the hero of 15 year old me. Disappointment for knowing that our [...]
