lol tiger, guilty as charged I still stand by the meaning i was trying to convey though

as for buying a new right-back, i probably agreee with you, although fergie was once quoted as saying he was the best natural defender in the club, his crossing isn't as good as Nevilles - so he'd probably want a RB who's a better crosser.

Ermmmmmmmm ........... NO

Ahh.. Fergies a legend! Leave the poor old fella alone..

I've been holding off saying this for 2 years, but here goes: RONALDO IS THE NEW GEORGIE BEST!

He's sensational.

Not since King Eric has a player caused such a sensation at OT.

He was the difference between us & Spurs today.

Brilliant player. Wasn't even playing up to his usual form today and still managed to score twice. Fair play to Spurs, the scoreline was somewhat flattering.. but the moment of stupidity from Dawson was the main turning point... added to the poor attempt at saving Ronaldo's second...

And he can do it in Europe which Cantona couldn't. I often wondered if Cantona actually had a passport the amount of European games he went missing in

It was a strange thing Cantona in europe, he just never did it, did he? Still a fantastic player i was privelaged to watch. I always think we should count ourselves lucky when we see a true top quality player. I'll never know just how good Best, Law and Charlton really were

Ronaldo really is pure class, cannot abide his posing though. This isn't knocking him at all - but i was amazed to see ronaldo only has one assist in the league this season! Considering he doesn't really neglect his wing play, i was suprised.

I'm staggered by this. Either his crossing is quite bad or he's a greedy beggar who shoots instead of crossing

He's too busy scoring! Half the time he doesn't have someone to pass to and might aswell shoot!

i dont see him as a winger at all, for me he rarely runs down the line, he always cuts in field and plays pretty centrally half the time too so the assists stat isnt surprising

Anyone seen the bit in The Grauniad sport section today?
Wenger suggesting that the Saudi trip will rebound on Utd? But he is actually speaking in football terms and not political. I think we were all dismayed that they should go to such a repressive, men only type, state.
However what does it have to do with Wenger surely he has his own team to look after.
Can you imagine a meddlesome version of SAF giving opinions on how other teams should be run??

What's that Sooty?
Oh!

My my, Joe, I never realised you were a cynical old curmudgeon

In that case I haven't been doing my job properly. That describes me to a tee.

Yet another great game for Ronaldo.. fantastic free kick... my bet for him being top goal scorer is looking good..

Fantastic free kick, my language was so blue when that went in!

From the Manu site...

Cristiano Ronaldo's scoring spree has not only shot him to the top of the Barclays Premier League's goals chart, he's also leading the way in the continent's top five leagues.

The United number 7's haul of 19 goals in 20 league games is unmatched in England, Italy, France, Spain or Germany. In Italy, the in-form striker is David Trezeguet of Juventus with 15 goals in Serie A, while Karim Benzema of Lyon ­- United's next Champions League opponents ­- is top scorer in France's Ligue 1, also with 15 goals.

UTD are very strong it pains me to say

Ronaldo is a fab talent, however his smugness and arrogance is not necessary in the game, its why everone dislikes him, maybe in time he will cut it out

i think its a 2 horse race between the 2 best teams in prem at the mo, personally think man utd will clinch it, although i would prefer arsenal did for obvious reasons

Said to someone the other night that if Ronnie played for another team, I would absolutely abhor his arrogance.
However, as he's ours it's a quirk I'm liking.
Reminds me of King Eric.

its true though
