James07? Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 not sure that many people in August were expecting Saha / Giggs / Scholes / Vidic / Evra or even Ronaldo to play so well so far this season.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonch19 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 i had faith in all of them but giggs and scholes tbh. just thought they would be too hit and miss/injury prone. i made a post during the summer saying the world cup would probably be the making of ronaldo and ive always been a fan of saha. vidic and evra it was obvious they just needed to settle, though i have been surprised by just how well evra has done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Sir Alex: Ronaldo's no diver Sir Alex Ferguson has hit out over suggestions that Cristiano Ronaldo dived to win a penalty against Middlesbrough on Saturday. The incident has been replayed, debated and deliberated by the press since Saturday. The boss's anger at the criticism of Cristiano was plain to see in his pre-Benfica press briefing, which you can watch in Tuesday's News on MUTV Online, available from 7pm GMT. Ronaldo defended himself against accusations from Boro boss Gareth Southgate that he dived, saying: "Gareth Southgate only stopped playing football last year. In my opinion he should understand football much better. I was trying to pass the keeper, I lost my balance and eventually the referee gave a penalty That is it." Sir Alex also responded to Southgate, saying: "Gareth's a bit naive. But he's a young manager, you have to give him a chance to settle in," he said at his pre-match press conference. "We don't condone diving here. I've said that time and again. Ronaldo's aware of that. "The first thing that happened on Saturday was he was hacked from behind and the referee didn't book the player. It only encourages players to keep kicking him time and time again. He's the most fouled player in the country. All the stats are there. "You have to ask, what is more serious? Preventing the best players to play or to go on for three days about a dive that wasn't a dive. I hope I am wrong but I have a feeling it is a revenge from the English press. They have been waiting months to do this." Sir Alex is insistent that the intent was there for Schwarzer to knock the Reds winger off balance. "I've looked at it a million times. No way is a player going to give up an opportunity to score in an empty goal," he said. "Why the keeper doesn't go for it with his hands, I've no idea. He tried to prevent him from scoring and, for me, it was a clear penalty. He lost his balance because of that. "Ronaldo was sent off against Manchester City for intent. Steve Gerrard got a penalty for intent at the start of the season. It's an interpretation in the referee's hands. I think it was a penalty kick." </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Fergie still has it :*) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
