C. Ronaldo: I Love R. Kelly

2009-05-14 by Iai EMERITUS | 47 Comments
Cristiano Ronaldo is a man widely renowned as the greatest footballer in the world. Like most footballers, he has awful taste in music - but the prettiest member of Manchester United's star-studded attack might have set the bar for knowing irony by announcing that his favourite song is "I Believe I Can Fly".

Anybody who has seen Ronaldo take to the skies whenever a defender gets within five feet of him will know that no punchline is necessary.

"That is without doubt my favourite song in the world. R. Kelly is a great artist and the words to that song are a real inspiration to me", he said, before going to express his love for something even cheesier. "Ricky's tunes are very catchy. 'Livin' La Vida Loca' is his most catchy by far and it is my most favourite." Oh dear. He also revealed that the current Man Utd team frequently listen to The Prodigy together before games for motivation - which is also ironic, given that the only Premiership footballer currently smacking his bitch up is Middlesbrough's Marlon King.

Ronaldo and his team-mates are on course to win the Premiership this Saturday in a game against rivals Arsenal. R. Kelly is currently working on an untitled album.

He's not even the best player in the premiership.

That honour falls to Michael Essien.

^hahahaha

you're wrong.
Ronaldo is talented but defenders are starting to figure him out, luckily he has a cannon shot. Too bad he's a bitch.
I'm a footballer, I have good taste in music

I'd rather watch Aston Villa.

That is soooo opiniated Nick. I mean, come on, what qualifications do you have to make that comment? That Wayne Rooney is a stunner! And when Carlos Tevez forgets to comb his hair, he can give off that dishevelled look that would have the ladies queueing up!

Football is really a vague term applied to a bunch of different sports that involve kicking. They just never bothered to change the name once the hands became more prominent I guess.

There are tons of reasons I feel like I shouldn't like Ronaldo, but he's just to goddamn good for me to even consider it. Glory Glory Man United...

Ronaldo is highly overrated. The media likes to make a big deal out of the amount of goals he scores "from midfield". Firstly, he plays as an attacker. And secondly, Chelsea's Frank Lampard, an actual midfield player, has scored more goals than him this season.

Yet he didn't even make the shortlist for player of the season. Which really just goes to prove that the conspiracy against Chelsea isn't just a Uefa thing. The FA are in on it too. This Message Edited On 05.14.09

It's always great to hear some americans talking about football (I mean the real football in which you play with your feet) and putting it down. hah. The fact is just that all american sports are just played with brute force that the "athletes" get from steoroids. Football (again not the throw/tackle/run/tacke-ball) on the other hand is mainly just technique. You need to have skill to play it. Not just some needle up your bum. :D
Then we come to the case of C. Ronaldo. The most overrated, unsportmanshiply and bitchy player in the whole footballing world. I can't understand how anyone can appreciate him as a player. He just jerks around on the pich and falls down when ever he is touched. I mean god damn man! That is not how you play football.
CR7 should learn from the master of modern football: Steven Gerrard. There you have a man who can not only score and pass brilliant goals, but who is also tough and does everything for his team. A real captain.
So sorry for this shit loads of text, but it's the truth and that's it. peace :D
ps. YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONEEE!!!!

When he's not playing as an out and out striker, he plays from a highly advanced position. Too advanced for me to comfortably call him a midfeilder.

But, i was comparing Lampards total goals this season against Ronaldo's premiership stat. So you are right. Though, the difference is not as big as you seem to think. Lampard has 12, and Ronaldo has 16.

stupid foreigners stealing our games name

football is a game you need to play with your hands

you throw the ball with your hands
you catch the ball with your hands
you tackle a man with your hands

your version of football makes no sense, you need to use your feet
what the hell is wrong with you guys

Frankly, this thread makes me wish I was British. The enthusiasm and face to face breakdowns of the who's and what's is terrific. This appears to be much more fun and in your face than talking about American football or gridiron to the typical alcoholic redneck. I sense a transition in the future.

he's also a great footballer, only a few touch him at the moment, messi, casillas, essien, vidic.

i hate american sport, it doesnt flow at all, i once watched the superbowl and left in disgust after finding out they had seperate attacking and defending teams, America just dont understand.

I spoke to an American recently about sport, told him their games had no flow, except ice hockey, which then he proceeded to inform me is Canadian, even the Canadians do sport better than Yanks, thats pretty fucking poor.

Coventry City Football Club is where its at, Mighty Gunnar all the way.

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[1]
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, cuz I believe in me, oh

If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye




That's right kids, Fly-eye-eye.

Britney Diva:
Gerrard's dives are legendary- he's every bit as bad as Ronaldo.

What the fuck man :D I don't even know what to say to that. That is so ridiculous that it can't be even taken seriously. Comparing Gerrard and Ronaldo is not possible man. And that's because the first one is an excellent football player and the other one is an excellent diver.
Hey maybe he should get into real professional diving. hah. Into a pool it would be even impressive and not just stupid and unsportman-like. :D

I loved the pictures of the Man Utd team after being completely outplayed by Barcelona, particularly Cristiano 'I am god's gift to the world' Ronaldo.
