C Ronaldo's Island of Madeira

Most comments about Ronaldo's recent transfer to Real Madrid surely depict one very English, self-centered point of view....
I’m not even a big fan of Ronaldo but the seemingly majority of Man. Utd. supporters ungratefulness is beyond words.
They should try unstick their heads out of their backsides and wake up to the reality that Ronaldo is not English, and before he left M.U. F.C. he has a very young lad from Madeira Island, kissed his parents good-bye at 11 y.o. and moved out, facing the unknown for a dream and working his butt off to get where he is now.

He is thankful for everything people did for him in the UK - that includes the shameful campaign against him after the World Cup in 2006, for it only made him stronger; but understand, he OWS M.U. F.C. nothing - he repaid M.U. fully and with interest.
He surely won the right to be proud of his work and who are we to judge him... that yes, it's arrogance, very John Bull...

This story has been gold for press as well, always eager to capitalise on CR's fame...
Well, good for him. He seems to bring out the worse in people in the UK for some reason, but Ronaldo is stronger than anything you can throw at him. After all, he's living the DREAM.
From his poor background in Madeira to Madrid... and Paris...;D
A fairy-tale really, but he's work hard for it and he deserves it.

Ronaldo will probably face a bigger challenge in Spain than in the P.L. but then again he thrives on challenges and he doesn’t give a rat's ass about what jealous people say about him.
Yeah, he's laughing all the way to the bank - that's the best "in your face" to all those that diss him.

Sure it's a huge sum of money but Real Madrid will double it in earnings "Real" soon... just the hype around his transfer is worth a fortune in free publicity, plus Ronaldo will captivate the booming Asian market that R.M. is after...
So, it's a win-win situation, although Ronaldo's many detractors will be waiting, watching every step-over, waiting for a slip...

I wouldn't bet in M. Utd next season nor in the P.L. to continue being what it is... looks like the best players are heading south now... Premier League will be Derrier League, am afraid...

One thing though - Ronny, you can do better than Paris Hilton... watch out, don't go and catch something that can hinder your step-overs... ;D

ARE YOU NUTS? YOU'RE HIRED.

No use applying for the job, you nutters, the ad is from last century... 1999 - nothing like old fashioned crazy...

I definitely fit the profile. I wonder if they pay in bananas...

OSCAR RASCALS

Bloguistan's opinion matters as much to Hollywood as Hollywood's award-decisions to Bloguistan, therefore, without further adoo, here is Bloguistan's official-and-not-getting-paid-to-say-this list of the best films (ripped) in 2008, IMO:

1 Changeling (also Best Actress -Angelina Jolie - best director obviously Clint Eastwood)
2 Burn After Reading (best original screenplay)
3 Blindness

Animation
...really thorn between E-Wall and Kung Fu Panda... so they both win, like in the Olympics.

Other films may win the night of the Oscars but the number of ilegal downloads it's what really counts. Millions of people all over the planet can't be wrong.

There. Whatever you say its wrong and you have terrible breath. And stinky feet. Haha.

UPDATE 13.03.'09

J. Mourinho accused of punching a Man. U. supporter after the C.L. tie at Old Trafford this week.

Well, it's not nice but I wouldn't blame him for teaching someone some manners.

Doesn't seem that man was waiting for Mourinho to ask for an autograph, instead seems like he was asking for trouble; and if anything did happen, he's totally responsible for it, as it was public that Mour would be having wine with Alex Fergunson, so...

After the way José Mourinho defended his dog, (same doggedly way he defends his teams), people should know better...

One thing is clear - Mourinho is special. The media frenzy around him proves it. His frustrated, jealous detractors, jumping at every (rare) defeat, like it's a biblical disaster, proves it. The unheard uproar after he left Chelsea and the title-draught and manager serial-sacking that followed his departure from FC Porto and Chelsea proves it. The number of titles already under his belt proves it. Not having lost a single match in domestic competitions for over two tears on home-turf proves it.

Italians are showing to be such a bunch of whining little girls because all their teams have been sent home by English teams. You can make MOURINHO (copy-paste, am tired of seeing his name misspelled) the scapegoat and bad-mouth him all you want, but he's bound to win the Serie A, in his first year again. He's working miracles with that average team out of the once-mighty Italian league, so shuttupa your face.

Like it or not, J. Mourinho is SPECIAL. And he's just starting.

Mour of the Same

In spite of the Credit Crunch, some people are faring rather well. Namely those that were wise enough to put money on Scolari not winning anything at Chelsea and being fired before the end of the season - I salute those who won the bet. I outta have placed a bet myself - it was money in the bank. Literally.

But Scolari himself is laughing all the way to the bank. And if he's smart, to a golden retirement. No one needs another proof that Scolari is largely overrated.

I have a new bet, though - I BET they miss the Special One, Mourinho, at Stanford Bridge...

Ron Survives Ferrari Crash

The year here at Bloguitan is beginning as it ended - with Ronaldo.
This time the Portuguese Stallion is in the news for smashing his Italian Stallion Ferrari.
The lad escaped without a scratch but the car, which he apparently had recently imported from Portugal, is scrap.

That won't dent Ron's budget but will hardly better his latest record of performances...

On the other hand, this is great for Ferrari - not that they ever needed endorsement - but we're talking of the best free publicity Ferrari could ask for on the safety of their cars!

We should all be so lucky as to drive a Ferrari!

Anyway, after racing a Bugati sometime ago, Ronaldo does another stunt, this time for Ferrari. At least Ron is still doing well in his advertising careear... who knows, perhaps this will mark the turning point in his season. Focus, dude!

Ride Bull Gives You Wings

Say "Olé" to 2009 (will be the year of the Ox, according to the Chinese horoscope) and "good-fly" to 2008!

Have an oxellent 2009!

SHOE-TING THE PRESIDENT

Recently this year, we had Golden Boy Cristiano Ronaldo winning a golden boot - that was certainly noteworthy and something few people expected; but now we have something that tops that by a shoe heal. Actually two.

This is something that kicks the socks out of Ron's story, because this is about the pair of shoes size 42 that were swang at George W. Bush's head in Iraq and went around the world!

The Iraqui jornalist deserves kudos for the brave move and the excellent pitch that nearly got the retiring President right between the eyes - that was a heck of a shot and any baseball fan will admit that, but W. still got some cool moves of his own and ducked the passing shoe-t... great stuff and highly entertaining. We really have to offer kudos to W. for taking the incident with humor. Shoes were not his size, lol!

There was no real danger for W., since the shoes were not loaded, but the U.S. president could have had a taste of the deadly mass destruction gas his administration were looking for after 9/11, had the jornalist managed to toss at him his stinky socks...
