"criticizing Beckham"... understatement of the year?

I think its less to do with his style of play than his attitude. Di Stefano was supposed to be the one who always kept the fight alive, and who would lead the team when heads were dropping. He didn't like losing, but even more than that, he didn't like giving in.
The Di Stefano comments aren't a new thing, he's always seemed to like Ronaldo, not just in newspaper interviews. I was surprised at first, until I heard Valdano talking about Di Stefano. Something like: After a defeat, you really didn't want to get caught smiling by Di Stefano.
So I'm guessing he sees a bit if a kindred spirit in Ronaldo. Rather than the whiny, stroppy bugger that others complain about.
How many goals is he away from 200 in La Liga?
He's on 133 league goals out of 121 matches so far. Given he is like to score over 40 goals a season, it should see him break 200 by either next season or shortly into the one after.
7 goals in his last 6 Classicos. 10 goals this month. Ridiculous.
Typical it has to be the same time as our match tonight.
Another awesome goal from Ronaldo, pity it was the wrong end!
I think Cal might have commited a suiciee after that one.
Well he has more own goals than Messi now. So feck off Messi.
He's finally done it..
I am so pissed right now, knowing that this will be a record that he will never be able to break.
He's finally done it..
that will be cal's defense
If memory serves, is his birthday today. What is he now, 29?
Excuse my laziness for not actually checking!
Took me 5 seconds - 28. Happy birthday Ronaldo!
He is 28. Who can call you lazy after you made two posts to confirm it.
He's 28? And i am 10 years older too after watching his debut at OT, reality hits hard
Happy Birthday to him anyway. He's played a huge part in our recent history and success on and off the field.
Jesus, he'll be grey soon!
Is he out of contrsct in the summer? Any news on a new deal, if so?
He's out of contract in 2015 iirc. If he doesn't sign a new one, we can sign him on a pre-contract in January of that year if i am not wrong
How do people think his ability will be affected by age? His game definitely relies on his pace and strength, but then he hardly looks the sort whose physique and fitness are going to just vanish the second he turns 32.
He will probably end up as a centre-forward at the age of 30-31, powerful and clinical Drogba-like
Happy birthday to Bale deluxe edition.
Seriously though, what a player. 10 years since making his Utd debut!

He's technically excellent, but his real x-factor comes from his physical attributes. He appears to be well looked after though, and can see him maintaining a peak condition for a while yet.

Pretty sad if you ask me...
PS: I know this probably isn't the place to ask, but how on earth can I include youtube videos in my post? I used to be able to do so by using the youtube tags and the code from youtube, but that doesn't seem to work anymore for me. I've tried both the old and new code but I always end up with this which is annoying:
If you have the answer, please pm. Thanks!

You don't use the full embed code, all you need is the
Hey! I sent you a pm you ungrateful fanboy!
That's it! Bans and taglines only from now on.You just need the bit of the url after the =
It's weird to think I've been watching him 10 years already! Even stranger as Im only 19 so basically half of my life!
It's funny that every time Ronaldo's name mentioned, they have to include "ex-Manchester United" title. In some way, he's still an ambassador for us out there.
This article shows how much he holds us in esteem. He says that Real have a better team than us (which, he admits, still has to be shown on the ptch), and that they're gonna kick us out of the champions league.
He says he's waited for - been looking forward to - a game against us for years.
He also mentions that SAF is a very important figure in world football and that he taught Ronny the basics of football.
So, showing respect, but telling us he thinks he'll stuff us.

Thanks for that link in Spanish. I wouldn't expect him to say any different from most players. Just like van Persie against Arsenal.
I just thought it' strange with Ronny and this 'ex-United' thing, as if they want people to remember that he's from United. Rarely heard of mentioning Xabi Alonso and Liverpool, Kaka and Milan; their former clubs seems like something in the past. van Persie has only been with us this season, but he's already associated with United.
I'm just glad it would pissed off some Ronny's haters
Can United fans actually hate ronaldo or is it the way he left in their point of view?
This'll be the first time I've watched him play hoping he does nothing since that England v Portugal game of 06!
