Cristiano Ronaldo wins FIFPro

1
Below is the 2min 35sec interview of Cristiano Ronaldo and Alex Ferguson after the former was awarded with the FIFPro trophy. A prestigious award where the players actually vote for who they consider to be the most outstanding player. Cristiano actually seemed quite humble in accepting it for once.

Referees force players to dive

0
I've just watched Manchester United fight their way to a point in a typical early season battle at Stamford Bridge. The best player on each team, Ronaldo and Drogba, are both far from their best and both started on the bench. The football was average, so to me, the biggest story from this team was [.

The Transfer Market Is Open

1
TORONTO - An exciting chapter now begins for Pistolas FC as the offseason begins and a bevy of opportunities opens up to make this team more committed, more creative, more skilled, more defensive, and a hell of a lot quicker.

Having just barely missed out on the European Transfer Window which closed just yesterday, the likes of Christiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres, Benzema, Adebayor, Dani Alves, Samuel Eto, Didier Drogba, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are all locked up for the year. Click to continue reading...

Football is non-stop these days. No sooner did the European club season finish then the European championships started for 16 nations. Now just days after Spain lifted the continental trophy most clubs have started pre-season training and talk in the big leagues is who will go where before the new season gets underway.

Cristiano Ronaldo Recovers From Ankle Surgery

2
Christiano Ronaldo has been enjoying his vacation in Italy with girlfriend Nereida Gallardo but now he's in recovery over an ankle surgery he got yesterday. I suppose he was waiting until after he got back from vacation to have his ankle worked on. So now because of his tardiness, Ronaldo is expected to miss [. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal chase Man United’s Portuguese target

3
Having lost Flamini to Milan and (most probably) Hleb to Barcelona, it leaves the midfield at The Emirates Stadium rather light. Therefore, Arsene Wenger has seen fit to move for a Portugese star, one who has been tracked by Manchester United, Juventus and AC Milan. Sporting Lisbon midfielder maestro Miguel Veloso has been tracked by a [. Click to continue reading...

Sneijder: I won’t go to Man United as Ronaldo bait

0
As the United-Real tug-of-war for Cristiano Ronaldo continues, a member of Real's Dutch contingent has felt the need to speak out at rumours he may be heading to Old Trafford as part of an exchange agreement to assist the transfer. Wesley Sneijder released a statement on his personal site, rejecting claims he was on his way [. Click to continue reading...

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to leap into Real Madrid’s arms…

12
...According to The Guardian - a pretty reliable source - who themselves quote Marca - a truly grubby source - and their interview with Cristiano Ronaldo's godfather, Fernao Sousa, who basically says that his godson should - and will - move to Real Madrid. Sousa said: "I believe that he has decided he is going [. Click to continue reading...

When is a dive not a dive?

8
Kevin Thomson is fit for Rangers' UEFA Cup tie against Sporting Lisbon. I am so relieved because I thought he might be seriously injured. He took an awful clattering from Celtic's Georgios Samaras when he deliberately moved his leg to the side so that he could make minimal contact with the Celtic player before throwing [.

Man United boss and winger bag Barclays monthly awards! Deserved?

1
The people at Ask.com have brought us some interesting news! Manchester United's boss Sir Alex Ferguson and goal machine gun Christiano Ronaldo have scooped the Barclay's Manager of the Month and player of the month awards for January. No doubt Ronny will add the award (his third player of the month accolade) to [. Click to continue reading...

Arsene tried to sign Ronaldo before Fergie!

7
It can't come as much of a surprise that Arsene Wenger, a man who despatches hordes of scouts to scour the continent for tall, fast, technically immaculate players - once ran the rule over a certain young Portuguese whipper-snapper named Christiano Ronaldo. Arsenal boss Wenger told the BBC's Jonathan Legard: "He was [. Click to continue reading...

Inter/Juve and Arsenal/Man U

So the big games of the weekend have been played and the battle for the top of the table fought. Interestingly both of these matches ended in draws and little ground was made for any of these teams. Inter vs Juve ended 1-1 with Inter retaining it's lead at the top and Juve dropping one [...] Click to continue reading...

Arsenal vs Manchester United

So Arsenal and Manchester United are set to face off this weekend in a top of the table clash. Both teams are sitting on 26 points, although Arsenal is on top through goal difference and still has a game in hand. Many will say that this game could decide the eventual league champion but I [...] Click to continue reading...

Who Would Wenger Take From Manchester United’s Team?

5
By Eros, Arsenal Analysis resident season ticket holder at the Emirates (North Upper Stand Row Q) Some friends forwarded me a link to a Man United website that had a post comparing the two teams. After reading it I am convinced that all football fans are mentally unstable.... myself included! Anyway here is my assessment of a player by player comparison of the two sides and my starting eleven of Click to continue reading...

2008 Euro Qualifying: Winners & Losers

8
Winner: Gareth Barry
In the shadow of a hobble-footed Steven Gerrard, the Aston Villa stepped up to set-up to goals and insure that England live to fight another day.

Loser: Portugal
With Christiano Ronaldo putting them up 2-1 in the 73rd minute, it looked as if the Portuguese were going to move into second in the group and cruise to qualification, but a 87th minute equalizer ruined their party. Click to continue reading...

2008 Euro qualifying Group A match previews: Portugal vs Poland & Serbia vs Finland

Portugal vs Poland, Saturday, 1600 est
Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica - Lisbon

Cristiano Ronaldo and Euzebiusz "Ebi" Smolarek don't have a lot in common. True, they are both attacking midfielders named after famous people, Ronaldo after Ronald Reagan and ironically Smolarek after Portuguese great, Eusébio. They also both like to party, though Cristiano prefers hookers and Ebi is a pot man, but what do expect from young, rich footballers? Click to continue reading...
