		<description>I don&#039;t detest or hate Ronaldo, not at all. I do detest his behaviour at times... the rolling around when he&#039;s barely been touched, having &#039;jokes&#039; with the press etc., but I don&#039;t hate him.

This season I feel fairly indifferent to him. I&#039;m happy when he scores, because it means United have scored, but I don&#039;t start singing his name like some do.

I&#039;ve simply said when he says things which make him sound like a twat or does things which I find cringeworthy, I&#039;ll say so. I&#039;d be more forgiving of Giggs or Rooney or Evra etc. whereas now I don&#039;t feel any need to sugarcoat things where Ronaldo is concerned. 

But you are wrong when you say I hate him. I&#039;m just no longer blinded to the irritating things he does, like I was last year.</description>

		<description>Scott..no ones bloody saying he can treat us how he wants. For fucks sake....i havent totally forgiven him...and when im at the ground i dont cheer for him or sing for him like i used too. But i dont act like a petulant kid either and throw my toys out the pram.  You seem to hate him with a vengeance...thats clear in all the articles youve written since the summer. Personally i hate anyone belittling our club...but at the same i look at the bigger picture. 

The picture being....that HE IS STILL OUR PLAYER WEARING OUR SHIRT AND PLAYING FOR OUR FUCKIN TEAM. And without him, yes without him WE WOULD SUFFER DRAMATICALLY. Kieran fuckin richardson example is so lame its unreal....for crying out loud the guy was a bag of wank....useless shit....who should have been rid many moons ago. Ronaldo is a superstar whose contributed bucket loads. I DONT FORGET THAT EITHER. 

And get your words right..i didnt say he can walk all over us and do what he wants. Infact the twat ruined my summer and i really wanted rid of him...i hated his guts so much. and yes i dont even wear his shirts i have anymore...HOWEVER...ALA OUR MANAGER SAID ...&quot; HE IS WITH US, HE STAYED WITH US....which means he is our player. And you know what that brings...some conciliation..some understanding. That you may not forgive totally..you can try to forget and concetrate with the matter in hand.  Namely like i said ronaldo leading our troops...AS OUR BEST PLAYER..

No player is bigger than the club..no doubt. but you need to take your personal blinkers off.  You hatred for him is clouding your judgement...then again...am i wrong...wasnt there an article you wrote not so long after the summer debacle....about how it is understandable for a madeiran lad...who grew up supporting real wanting to move..which was totally understandable and that he has given us 5 years excellent service and just because we ve had such great times with him...we feel hurt anddont want him to go blah blah blah.

That article was spot on..i totally agreed with it.  But then you revert back to type slating him as this and that. lol

Man get over it..i dont like him as much...but i know and deffo you know when watching the games..that he is our main cog.  And dont worry no ones going to allow him to walk over our club and treat us like shit...SAF his knowledeg and words are bigger and better than us.  And he is a better judge. No one..i mean no one is going to be allowed to walk over us...no player has under the masteers tenure. In SAF we trust...and i trust him that he did the right thing...ron saw the light of his ways by 1 meeting with the DON.  And stay or go...at present he looks like staying  ( which could proove you wrong again...as you keep saying at every opprotunity he &#039;s leaving next year).  I will implicity trust SAF&#039;s decision....cos he will only do right by the club..like he always has.

And at present...Ron wears my utd badge...hence yes i may not want to sleep with him. But i will support him PLAYING FOR THE AIMS AND CAUSES OF MANCHESTER UNITED. And a vital vital vital weapon he is too.

PS.  I respect your opinion...but sometimes you have to see where people are coming from.  I know you detest ron..your words prrove that...about his arrogance, dissing some charity things, not signing shirts, your insistence on his petulance, having a go at his free kicksm his shit performance v brazil.  You gone to incredulous lengths to show him up since the summer. 

So i ask whose acting like the bitter????

And if youve cgot such a vendetta against him...sign a petition and send it in..or create a ron fuck off movement outside carrington..or make some banners..or write him a letter. Cos your ronaldo slating is getting..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

		<description>Ronaldo try and keep a humble mien. The world knows u&#039;ve got takent and they adore you. But nobody would persistently adore an arrogant brat.

1.) He mistakinlgy denoted his female fans showering adorations on him to very dereputable term of HARASSMENT

2.) HE CANT BE THE 1st, 2nd and 3rd best player alone. Blatter can comfortably outsmart him by given the second best player afterall he said he is Second Best</description>

		<description>DarkDevil - I&#039;ll ask you the same question. If I&#039;m such a twat, why do you keep returning to my blog?

Ronaldo doesn&#039;t give a shit less what the fans think, if he did, then we wouldn&#039;t have had the fuss over the summer with him wanting to leave. When Ronaldo leaves it will be because he&#039;s always dreamed of playing in Spain, not because there are a few fans with their nose put out of joint because of his behaviour in the summer. 

I don&#039;t want them to act like robots, I want our players to be desperate to play for us. Big difference. Wayne Rooney doesn&#039;t act like a robot/boy scout, but he loves playing for our club, and that&#039;s all I ask. I&#039;m glad I&#039;m not alone in having high expectations on our players... it&#039;s sad that there are so many who are happy to allow the players to walk all over us and our club, as Ronaldo has done, just because they score goals. No one player is bigger than this club, it&#039;s sad that people need reminding. Sound like a bunch of bluenoses.

Cheerio!</description>

		<description>Scott The Red - I am well aware of Ronaldo&#039;s dream to play in Spain.  I have to keep explaining myself to guys like you because you just don&#039;t seem to get it.  What I meant to say was that if Ronaldo left, I would rather it be because Fergie thought it okay and not because he felt the fan&#039;s like you truly did not want him at the club anymore.

You come off like a self-righteous twat Scotty.  You keep going on about how Ronaldo is a twat and I&#039;ll admit that sometimes he is, but you&#039;re always going on about how United players should act like boy scouts because that&#039;s how you want them to act.  The players aren&#039;t robots and at the end of the day, the only twat around is you!</description>

		<description>Bruv .. it&#039;s a joke.
He didn&#039;t say he&#039;s the first, second and third 
best players in the world, he said he&#039;d vote for himself
as an ironic answer to the press that kept asking him
for who he&#039;d vote for.</description>

		<description>Seriously its Scott&#039;s blog, if you guys can&#039;t handle his opinion on your boyfriend Ronaldo, then stop reading and go somewhere else, its not that hard you know, on the right hand side of this page, there are links to other United- related blogs and sites, sod off to them. Drama- queens.

Personally i don&#039;t think pointing number 1 at Villa fans was twatty, but i think the 1st, 2nd and 3rd best player in the world, which he DID say was really silly, joke or not.</description>
