if you were gonna wish it on anybody it would have to be Terry (sorry JT), Lampard, Cashley Cole, Rio, Drogba, O'Shea????

What a terrible thing to say about someone like Ronaldo when you have guys like Lee Bowyer, Ben Thatcher, Micheal Brown and Joey Barton walking around. (Sorry about the last one, he's not walking anywhere is he.)

I hope the stadium is beamed up by Aliens lock stock fans , team's and barrel

it's the only result that won't leave me feeling miffed

Does anyone realistically believe Ronaldo will perform well tonight?

If A. Cole is fit, Ronaldo will be invisible....although he might score a penalty he didn't win and afterwards we'll have everyone telling us he's better than sliced bread......

He's good enough to perform on the biggest stage. Remember Chelsea have doubled up on him every time they've gone up against him so I hope Man Utd try and counter that tactic tonight.

I've no doubt he has the talent - it's his character that I'd question in that if things aren't going well for him or the team he seems to sulk and drift out of the game

i dont ever recall ashley cole double up with someone against ronaldo, either playing for arsenal or chelsea.. every time he has played against ronaldo he has taken him to the cleaners.. as has gael clichy with arsenal this year..

i honestly cant believe there is still a football thread about this guy being the best in the world!!!

Slightly more of a chance of Jebus´s wish coming through me thinks

Not at penalties

[bellavistaman]

played very well destroyed essien, a player who gets savage credit onb these forums, but as a CM, crazy playing him right back, hell do a job, but in a champions league final, just not good enough.

[tricky_colour]

HA HA

I knew he was going to miss his penalty somehow

I think Cech knew he would try one of his 'clever penalties' with a stuttered run up, waiting for him to go early, so he just stood his ground.

You could see Ronaldo thinking "Oh shyte" when he could see him still standing there.

[TheBoss]

I thought he did the best he could tonight, played as part of a team player, no showing off, played ''very well'' in Svens words

[Block G Raptor]

Was playing well up till chelsea scored and then he got a bad kick from Essien on the stroke of halftime and surprise surprise he walked off shaking his head and looking fed up at halftime and he may as well have stayed in the dressing room for all he did in the 2nd half. I've said it before and I'll say it again He's class when things are going well but I wouldn't want him near my team in a backs to the wall battle

[shakermaker1982]

Chelsea cut off his supply line in the 2nd half hence Man Utd's attacking players were not as effective as they were in the first half.

He played well, scored a great goal AND HE TURNED UP FOR A BIG GAME - much to the dismay of all his critics. He'll never win them all over but then again these are the kind of people that said England had 9 world class players at the last WC and would walk into any team.

Ha! Loving the bitters

VIVA RONALDO!!

Ronaldo will win the World Player of the Year award and absolutely, indisputably deserve it. 42 goals is a sensational achievement and is unlikely to ever be beaten by a player who has started I would say 60-70% of his games this year on the wing.

The boy's character, temperement, showing off etc would count against him if he didn't back it up, but he did. He scored the opening goal in the final, and a smashing header it was too. Fact is there is a massive amount of anti-EPL, anti-Man U and anti-Ronaldo sentiment influencing what people are saying here. Whether he is the best player in the world is a daft question, it can change every week. The question should be 'has he had the best season out of any player in the world' and I'm sorry, but with 42 goals, anyone saying otherwise this year isn't judging Ronaldo objectively and soley on his performances. Diving, whinging, showing off and generally being arrogant makes him a bit of a tw*t. Scoring 42 goals, largely from midfield, makes him the best player in the world this season. Man U would NEVER have won the league or the CL without him.

Personally I think that Messi has better close control and Kaka has unparallelled vision and appreciation of space, and either of these 3 could be next years phenomenon. This year though, Ronaldo wins.

I must say he was outstanding last night and would fully deserve World Player of the Year this year.
