This is why I hate Cristiano Ronaldo

Liz

 Just look at him. Smug twat.

dominic

Great player, mind.

Colette

Hideous smug twat.

SimonB

I hate smug ... but only when you've got nothing to be smug about ... I hate ManU but you can't dismiss Ronaldo as anything but genious

Liz

@ Colette. Thankyou! @ SimonB - that's the most frustrating thing about it. He is a brilliant player but I cannot stand watching him because he's so annoying. He is either doing the face above or this one:  He looks like a three year old who has had a tantrum and rubbed its eyes with its fists until they have gone red (the eyes, that is).

David

[Bergkamp]() was closer to genious than Ronaldo will ever be, he's never played well against top defenders and is basically just fast. Can't argue with his goal tally though. All that said, footballers should never be referred to as genious. I love my football but its an insult to the word.

Colette

@ Liz, thanks for that excellent photo of Ronaldo sobbing. It has made my day. I'm looking forward to him looking like that when Arsenal pip Man U to the premiership title this season (granted, this is not looking likely), or when they get knocked out of the Champions League in the next round (more likely).

@ David, I'm not sure it's morally right to use the words Bergkamp and Ronaldo in the same sentence. But surely it is right to refer to the might Bergkamp as a footballing genius?

Liz

More likely he will look like that when Portugal lose in Euro 08 this summer. But then no English players will even have the opportunity to sob like babies in that tournament...

VictorMoses

But don't you think he's quite fit, in a hispanic chav way?

Liz

OH MY GOD NO!

Colette

Fit?
Well I suppose there's someone for everyone.
Personally though I'd rather peel off my skin and roll around in a bath of salt than describe him as fit.

Pete

He's no <a href="">Eric</a>

Liz

@ Colette. That's an incredibily articulate explanation, which I wasn't able to muster when responding to Tabbie's comments last night. It's always good to know you're not alone!

dominic

Another great goal. Brave player.

David

Brave? It was a free header. You sound worse than Tyldesley and that night in Barcelona.

dominic

Ronaldo's pace what done it.

And Clive tells it like it is

David

It was a good goal by a good player on form. Clive and Dominic would have you think he'd just won the World Cup by going over the top at Gallipoli.

dominic

Still, when was the last time Arsenal won the European Cup? Oh...
I'm sure Tylds would get equally excited if that was ever to happen.

andy

That's a particularly moonfaced photo - who does it remind me of?

tosscat

I know someone with a moonface.

David

Clive, I sense your bedroom is full of Ronaldo posters and sticky tissues. This is disappointing for my perception of our forum membership. Wasn't Sophie Ellis-Bexter once famously referred to as a moonface?

poxy

My favourite description of SE-B was that she looks like she's trying to hide a coat hanger in her mouth.

dominic

I think someone should create a hybrid of Sophie and Shirley Manson from Garbage.

@David, chin up. There's always the second leg.

Colette

SE-B has a face like a rhomboid

Liz

Best examples of moonfaces:   P.S. Spot the difference!

groli

personal preference is for Plateface, in fact may change my sign in to that

David

 _"I am the moon, Ronaldo is a very very brave boy. I love him and his friend Rooney who has won us many World Cups. I have them on my bedroom walls. Yes."_

hooofck

Brilliant! Top stuff David.

dominic

Goal!

David

Two Goals! Clive's lover boy upstaged. Brave, brave player that Alves.

dominic

haha - indeed. thing is, ronaldo is a smug prick. as was/is theirry henry.
