Don't worry he'll get off any charges of careless driving, I'm sure he needed the toilet or was being chased by paparazzi

Or maybe he was practising step-overs.....

What a twonk, losing the plot and it's only January...

Saaf_laandon_mo · 09-01-2009, 15:25

I dont think he's losing the plot myself. I don't like him myself, but as it says in the link, its a pretty controlled analysis.

But the Spaniard's long list of complaints about the world and European champions was not an angry rant. It was a measured, controlled delivery at the media conference ahead of the Barclays Premier League trip to Stoke.

Shadow Demon UK · 09-01-2009, 15:46

It wasn't a rant but it's obvious that what Ferguson said has got to him, so much so he even had a list of things he wanted to say criticising him, all Fergie said was that Liverpool might choke. It was like he was making up excuses already for if Liverpool fail to win the league. It even sounded like he was going to cry at one point lol

Seemingly he was just given the slightest touch by the car behind him but somehow the car managed to flip over several times, roll along the ground and burst into flames before Ronaldo got out and pleaded with the traffic cops to arrest the driver of the car that brushed past him.

I heard that he complained to the police that the wall wasn't ten yards away.

Jim.

Just think, when Ronaldo went into that tunnel he tried to beat the wall, and went down, and tried to get a penalty, but as usual there wasn't a ref or Sir Alex in sight to complain too, pity about the car.

Benitez's outburst has seemed to do Liverpool the world of good

Link

And hopefully the fa do something about the fat spanish waitor - Link

I am totally behind Benitez for his outburst, Man Utd get away with murder, and the Premeir League and FA don't have the bottle, to do something about it, Who the hell does Fergie think he is, he has mouthed off to more officals than l can remember, and got away with it, Referee's, don't have the bottle to give out more red cards to players such as Rooney and Ronaldo, Ronaldo for exmaple commits more fouls than any other league player, you only have to blow on him and he falls over, Rooney shouts and commits more bad fouls behind the ref's back and gets away with it, and added minutes, In many of Man Utd games, they get MORE minutes ie 4/5 minutes than any other club, so well done to Rafa, We should have more Managers like him.

I'd hardly say Ronaldo is a dirty player, can you prove this statement that he commits more fouls than any other player ? Are there any opta stats to back this up ?

I don't think he does many fouls at all, diving is cheating and not a foul so that doesn't count. Drogba and Gerrard are just as bad at diving as Ronaldo and there are plenty of players that do fouls week in week out too

A good article that proves both Benitez and your good self are ill informed.

Well done Rafa !

Today will be very interesting indeed.

No United player will dare go near the ref, the press cameras will be focused on Uniteds staff, any unsavoury behaviour by United will see Rafa's comments vindicated.

I think fergie better be stocked up with the Wrigleys, he will need them today to seal his loud mouth
