Actually, 'Talking Tactics with Taz' sounds like an idea for a TalkSport show icon14.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Sounds more like an outreach program for the mentally handicapped if you ask me.

"It's only an hour a week, but Talking Tactics with Taz really makes me feel like I'm doing valuable work in the community. Seeing their little faces light up with glee when you suggest Smith, Rooney, Saha and Van Nistelrooy all up front makes the whole thing worthwhile." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

RONALDO: WHY I STAYED AT UNITED

Mirror Sport EXCLUSIVE Why I stayed at Man United

By John Cross

CRISTIANO RONALDO last night declared his ambition to become a Manchester United legend after finally breaking his silence over his decision to stay at Old Trafford.

The Portuguese winger has become a hate figure amongst Premiership fans for his part in getting England star Wayne Rooney sent off during the World Cup.

But in his first interview since then, Ronaldo insists that he would still do the same again to protect his country's "honour" and claims that he wants to emulate George Best and become a United "phenomenon".

It is a remarkable turnaround for Ronaldo, who said during the World Cup that he wanted to quit United for Spanish giants Real Madrid.

He now says he would be happy to stay for life, adding: "When we are hot-headed, sometimes we say things we don't mean to, or, at least, that are not appropriate.

"I have been here since I was 18 years old, the club have supported me from the first to the last minute of my career, things have gone well. I have developed a lot in all aspects, physically as well as mentally, which has all been very gratifying for me."

And on becoming a United legend, he said: "It is an important phenomenon. To stay at the club until the end of my career...we will see what happens.

"It is true that I said that one day I would like to play in Spain. But if that does not happen, it will not be a problem. I am at United and I feel very good.

"This is one of the biggest clubs in the world. My ambition was always to play for a big club - and here I am. There is one thing I am sure of: Manchester United are the ideal club for me."

Despite the furore surrounding his World Cup antics, Ronaldo insists that he would always put his country before anything.

Ronaldo's behaviour as Rooney was sent off - including the wink to his bench - made him public enemy No.1 in England.

Ronaldo admits that he received death threats and had extra security put on his house in Manchester, but insists that he never fell out with Rooney.

"Most people think that I had a hassle with him, but that isn't true," said Ronaldo.

"Throughout my career I have always defended, and in any circumstances, my country.

"It could be that my best friends play for other teams but, firstly, I will defend my country and my shirt.

"Secondly, what actually happened was an absolutely normal thing, and I believe any player who was in my situation would have done the same thing.

"And thirdly, I haven't had any problem with Wayne Rooney. He is my colleague and my friend, and we continue to get along fine."

Ronaldo also insists that United are capable of beating Chelsea to the Premiership title this season.

He said: "I really hope so. This is now my fourth season at Manchester United - I hope we can do it this year.

"The team are good enough, we are confident enough and we are playing very attractive football. I hope this can be our year.

"Chelsea got beaten in their second Premiership match, which was good, but above all we have to be concerned about ourselves.

"We have to play our game, to think week by week about being consistent and, if we can do that, Manchester United will have a great chance."

Good call. Wes probably ****ed up because he was probably chuckling to himself at how Richardson continually gets picked.

I'd love to know just how many away tickets the one season ST holders have had.

we've applied for every game and only got Blackburn and iirc James' parents are in the loyalty pot and were chubbed for Villa.

utter shambles. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>tbf what did you expect? You only got your book this year didn't you? Along with thousdands of others so to get one is pretty good imo </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

fair point in a way, although I still think it's unfair that those who recently got ST's by right (i.e. through maximum applications/attendances in previous seasons) are bracketed in with one-year ST holders who could have never stepped foot inside OT before this season.

additionally, as Mart said, people in the loyalty pot like 07?'s mam and dad are getting chubbed as well.

I'd quite like Nev to break in to double figures, but I don't see it happening.

Has he really scored 5 league goals? I'm struggling to remember them... think he got one against Villa once, maybe Everton as well. I remember his European ones.

Thats the thing. The way we're winning games despite playing like we're determined to lose. We're winning games more by luck than judgement.

On a serious note, yeah that's the "omg fate" bandwagon that I was referring to above, I just feel that it's a little bit premature to think about things like that at the moment. We shall see anyway, mon us finishing the job.
