Scholes, what a down to earth bloke.

Scholes is certainly a decent chap, and a great player as well.

As for Ronaldo, looking a bit Club Tropicana there isn't it?
Such a contrast.

It is sad that the likes of Scholes are few and far between in the game. Top decent bloke by all accounts.

Class act is Scholes.

Big news - Liverpool get "Ngog".

Other than "who??", the biggest question is, how do we pronounce his name".

nnn-gog. Simple. Is he any good?

He should be playing for Cambridge. Then his address could be in the Gog Magogs.

(but whats that mean?)

Let's call him Bob.

There are two significant hills south of Cambridge, called Gog and Magog, after pre-Christian gods.

Manchester United thought to now be keen to sell Christiano Ronaldo while he still has value and before he burns into a crisp

Only for adults. Latest Ronaldo interview

That colour he is right now is just ...... just, silly.

Chelsea 4, Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals 0

Time for the drug company to up their game.

We've been here before. I'd like to see Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals play Hamilton Academicals.

I wouldn't. Why waste your time?

I think that video might have been 'photoshopped'.

(What is the equivalent for videos??)

Surely not.

Chelsea in scintilating form I see, in the big games too

Brickin' it!

Still underwhelmed with the transfers all round this season. Not long to go now though now. I'll be at that first game at OT in just a few weeks. Going to see them play Juventus there before that too.

"FOOTBALLER Cristiano Ronaldo is being lined up to star in a multi-million dollar remake of the epic TV series Roots.

Ronaldo has demanded £3.5m per episode
Producers say the star's treatment at the hands of Manchester United make him the perfect choice to portray the young African slave who is beaten by his brutal masters.

The Portuguese winger said he had been traumatised by 'outrageous' demands that he honour the £125,000 a week, legally-binding contract, which has brought him only, misery, adulation and Gemma Atkinson.

Speaking from the titanium gazebo in the rose garden of his 31-room mansion, Ronaldo said: "I feel I can relate to the suffering of African slaves.

"If anything, it is worse, because footballers cannot sing while we work, whereas they had time to develop gospel music during their 16-hours shifts before dropping dead from exhaustion."

In the series a young African boy is dragged from his homeland and shipped to America where he is forced to work in the fields by a cruel and violent plantation owner.

"The similarities are uncanny, though admittedly, the Lear Jet that flew me from Lisbon to Manchester wasn't packed with 150 other players sleeping head-to-toe."

Ronaldo also conceded that, while the slave-master in Roots administered brutal beatings, Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson had nurtured his talent, lavished him with praise and turned him into one of the best footballers in the world.

"But without the freedom to do whatever I want, wherever I want, for whatever fee I want, I am exactly the same as a cotton picker forced to live in a shed, dying at the age of 32."

He added: "I know the people will love my acting. Already, in the streets, I hear many of them calling me 'Kunta'.""
