Congratulations to Coleen and Wayne Rooney, they are expecting their first child. Close friends have revealed that Coleen is three months pregnant which means that the baby is due in September.

It is thought that Coleen and Wayne will be offered £1 million for the first pictures of their child, which is a UK record. Congratulations to them both.

Young Everton Star Dumps WAG

2009-03-11T11:02:00.003Z

Young Everton star Jack Rodwell has dumped his girlfriend after she appeared on the front of the paper- The Daily Star.

Melissa, from West Derby, told pals: “He’s finished me for his football. I’m stunned. I’m not bothered about the WAG thing – it’s not my fault I was photographed. I love my modelling but I didn’t want anything to come between us.“Just when I thought things were going so well he’s gone and done this. I’m gutted. I feel like my world has ended.”

One of Jacks friends has said: “Jack’s desperate to make it in the top flight and doesn’t want anything getting in the way.“All those pictures and stories of him with Melissa and comparisons to Wayne and Coleen are not what he wanted.“He found himself on the front of newspapers instead of on the back page – where he should be.“Mel was attracting unwanted attention with her modelling so he decided to call it a day.“Football’s his priority now.”

I think it is great that he has chosen football, he had only been going out with her for a few months anyway.

Ronaldo's No Womaniser

2009-03-10T09:38:00.003Z

Cristiano Ronaldo's mum says that her son is not a womaniser, as a matter of fact, she has only met two of his girlfriends.
If I am correct, just because she has only met two of them, it doesn't mean that he isnt a womaniser. Ronaldo has been pictured with many women, ages ago he was photographed with Gemma Atkinson but his mum said that he didn't know her and had never met her.

Personally, I can't believe that he isn't a womaniser, anyway, here is what Dolores has had to say: “My son has only introduced two girlfriends to me – Merche Romero and Nereida Gallardo.
“If I believed what other people say, he has been with more than 100 and he is a womaniser.
“But I know that it is not true. When he likes a girl and the relationship is serious, he presents her to his family.”

Ronaldo Should Know Better

2009-03-08T14:24:00.002Z

Honestly Cristiano Ronaldo, you should know better. This picture shows Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo parking in a disabled spot.

He is definitely not disabled and alot fitter than most people, quite why he parked there I don't know.

Ashley Cole

2009-03-05T12:08:00.003Z

The lovely Ashley Cole (not) has apparently been arrested after a night out with team-mates.
It has been reported that Ashley was foul mouthed towards cops when he left The Collection, in west London, with John Terry and Michael Mancienne.

He was held on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly before being issued with an £80 fixed penalty notice and allowed to go home.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "At about 2.15am today, a man was arrested in Brompton Road, South Kensington, on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly.

"The man was taken to a central London police station where he was later issued with a fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly and released at 5.37am."

What a role model for children.

Cristiano's Latest Girlfriend

2009-03-04T11:39:00.002Z

You could do a whole blog on Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo's love life, this weeks girl is a 27 year old Brazilian fitness instructor Gabriela.
Ronaldo invited her to watch him during a recent International match. Since then she has visited him here in England when she stayed with him in his mansion for a week.

A friend of Gabriela has said:
“They’ve ended up dating. He’s fascinated by her athletic body. She says he’s attentive and romantic.”

Another friend said: “They’re a match made in heaven.
“Like Cristiano she never touches alcohol, and she’s as fit as she is beautiful.”

I wouldn't give this one too long, I wonder who will be next?

Ronaldo's Latest Love

2009-02-11T10:38:00.002Z

Cristiano Ronaldo has got himself a new girlfriend, this time she isn't the typical WAG, in fact, she is the opposite.

Ronny has fallen for an 18 year old University student who lives at £100 a week Halls of Residence at Manchester University.

Apparently Ronaldo met her whilst she was working at a nightclub as a Promotions girl.

One of her friends has said: “Liv’s a stunning girl and he couldn’t keep his eyes off her. They’ve been on a couple of dates since and keep in touch via texts.
“Ronaldo may have all the money and status, but he’d be lucky to land a girl like Liv. She’s ambitious, intelligent, beautiful — not your typical WAG type.
“Liv’s fiercely independent and she wouldn’t want anyone’s money. But if it works out with Cristiano, then all the better. She’s pretty excited about it all.”

She sounds alot nicer than his other girlfriends, could it be love?

Ronaldo's Girl Is A Liar

2009-01-15T09:17:00.003Z

Last night Ronaldo was warned that his latest girlfriend is a two timing liar, he was told this by her millionaire husband.

Her husband (50 year old John Haynes) has warned Ronaldo that Alyona lies and lies. She is also apparently desperate to be a fulltime WAG.

Poor old John only realised that Alyona was dating Ronaldo when pictures came out in the papers last month.

He also said that Alyona was sometimes naked in bed with John when she was texing Ronaldo and he has proof.

When John met Alyona she was dating another man- so he is probably just as bad as her.

John said: “I don’t mind if Mr Ronaldo wants to be with her — but let’s at least show him the truth before he does anything foolish.
“Alyona has lied and lied again.”

“I only discovered him (an American man she was dating whilst with John) by chance when I was on the agency site ten months into my relationship with my wife. As with me, Alyona wrote to this guy. She made the first approach. She hooked two guys, maybe more.

“Alyona had texted this guy from her phone while staying with me in Britain. When I discovered the testimonial to her he had written on the site I went through the phone records and, to my surprise, found his number.

“I called and had a good chat with him. He was heartbroken. I immediately sent her back to Ukraine.

“But about one month later — and after I had received her letter of apology — I brought her back to England. Silly boy.”

“If I had read of such events in a novel, or seen them in a movie, then I would have thought the plot to be beyond reason and belief.”

“They had ten days together in April 2004 and travelled to Kiev for a holiday. I remember it well because I was planning on being there but Alyona lied to me.

“She said that she needed to travel to St Petersburg in Russia with her mother to see her stepdad. I believed her and cancelled my trip.”

“The point here is that she targeted the two of us, just as she has now targeted Mr Ronaldo.

“Both the American and I paid for all our correspondence with Alyona by credit card. This woman clearly deceived two people, and perhaps more.”

“It has really upset me. But I absolutely refuse to see anybody get away with such lies and deception.”
This woman sounds like a right piece of work but it could be the work of a jealous husband who is alot older than her.

It could be that Ronaldo is using her for one thing.

How Much Do Footballers Spend On X-mas Decorations?

2008-12-18T19:31:00.003Z

Cristiano Ronaldo has got a ton of money and what better way to spend Christmas by buying and creating a grotto.

Ronaldo has turned his house into a grotto and he is dressing up as Santa to hand out gifts. Ronaldo has paid an events firm 6,000 pounds to decorate his home (which is worth 4 million pounds) and provide him with a Father Christmas suit.

Ronaldo's mansion now has a 6ft tree in every room, hundreds of baubles, thousands of lights and a huge nativity scene.

Ronaldo's plan is to dress as Santa and he will give his presents to his mum Dolores, brother Hugo and sisters Telma and Katia.

A friend told News Of The World:
“Cristiano has a big family Christmas planned. He’s been telling the lads he’s got a firm which does a lot of the Old Trafford parties to trim up his house,”

Ronaldo Saves Teens Career

2008-12-18T19:23:00.003Z

You wouldn't be blamed if you thought that the press only printed bad things about Cristiano Ronaldo but he has done something fantastic for one teenager.

Ronaldo has rescued a young goalkeepers career by paying his medical bills.

Joao Santos is an 18-year-old goalie with Amora in Portugal and he suffered a cruciate ligament injury. Santos knew Ronaldo when Ronaldo was a youngster at Sporting Lisbon, Ronaldo gave Santos the boots from his debut with Lisbon.

Santos was going to sell those boots in an auction, when Ronaldo heard about this, he offered to pay the bills.
So far Ronaldo has paid a £4,000 bill for the operation, he is also paying out £200 a week for Santos’ rehabilitation sessions.

A pal of Santos said: “Joao knew Cristiano when he was a very junior player at Sporting and was given the first pair of boots that Ronaldo wore on his debut.
“Joao was going to sell the boots to raise the money but Cristiano wouldn’t let him.
“Ronaldo’s action makes the nation feel very proud of him.”

It is really nice to see Ronaldo in the papers for a good thing.

United's Christmas Panto

2008-12-08T10:07:00.003Z

Each year the Manchester United youngsters put on a Christmas panto for Sir Alex Ferguson, the staff and the first team.
This year the funniest jokes were apparently the ones about Cristiano Ronaldo, Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney.

Here is what a source told The Sun:
“The panto was in the form of an ITV News bulletin with Danny Welbeck as Sir Trevor McDonald.
“The youth team guy playing Ronaldo was wearing a Real Madrid shirt with 123 Days To Go on the front – which is a reference to how long is it until the end of the season.
“The real Ronaldo was absolutely p***ing himself laughing.
“Then a coffin was wheeled in with a player dressed as Dracula with Berbatov 9 on his back – followed by someone as Wayne Rooney with a full on Bobby Charlton wig.”

I would have love to see that!

Ronaldo Dates Married Woman

2008-12-07T12:07:00.004Z

Ronaldo is no stranger to controvesy and today it is for two reasons, the first because he walked off in Manchester United's match against Sunderland yesterday, the second is because he is dating a married woman.

The woman in question is Alyona Haynes who is the face of dating websites which find beautiful Russian lovers for British men.

The News Of The World are claiming that Ronaldo and Alyona had dinner together with another couple, a few days later Alyona is celebrating John Haynes (her husband) 50th birthday with John and his 11 year old daughter.

John said: “There is no way I could have sat down and had dinner with her if I had known she had been with Ronaldo a few nights before. Now I know our marriage is definitely over.”
“I’m going to confront him now. Before all this, we were together for five years and had been planning a family together.”
“Before we split she was telling all her friends that she was going to have a baby with me. “I had just bought her a very nice diamond ring for her birthday and all the rest of it. It all went down the toilet rapidly, very rapidly.”
“I dragged my a*se to Kiev I don’t know how many times to get her visas and married her. We had our ups and downs like any married couple but this hit me like a tornado.”

A close friend to Ronaldo has reacted to this by saying:
“Alyona was separated when they first met. They are dating and this may be the beginning of something."

Ronaldo, do you ever learn?

Secret Santa, United Style

2008-11-24T11:06:00.004Z

Christmas is coming and this year Manchester United will be doing the secret Santa, I'm sure most of us have done that and most of the time draw the hardest person to find something for.

You would have thought that the amount of money Manchester United players earn that they will be expensive presents, this is not the case.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said that presents should be around the five pound mark, even I could manage more than that and I am not a rich, famous Premier League footballer but there are reasons.

An insider said:

“Alex didn’t want the lads openly flaunting their wealth this Christmas, with most families struggling.

“So spending as little as a fiver will go down well. A few players already have their thinking caps on about what might be appropriate and raise a giggle.”

Any ideas on what they will get each other?

Ronaldo Ribbed For Sweating

2008-11-06T11:32:00.000Z

Cristiano Ronaldo is well known for his ball skills but he is also now well known for his sweating.

Ronaldo has recently been pictured in the Mirror sweating through a jacket on a night out. Since this picture team mates have been trying to help his problem by sticking the picture up all over the dressing room. Cristiano also opened up his locker and loads of deodrants fell out.

Ex-United striker Brian McClair, now its youth academy director revealed:
"Team-mates filled his training room locker with cans of deodorant and aftershave when the Manchester United ace was pictured by the Mirror sweating through a jacket on a night out.
Ex-United striker Brian McClair, now its youth academy director revealed: “As he is never one for getting to training early, he found this picture copied all over the dressing-room. When he opened his locker, all the deodorants and perfumes fell out. He was not amused!”

What Really Goes On At Carrington Training Ground

2008-11-05T10:46:00.000Z

A bit of gossip for Manchester United fans. It looks like Anderson may have got onto the wrong side of Gary Neville.

The Daily Express are reporting that Anderson slipped a live mouse into Gary Neville's shirt at Carrington training ground and that Neville wasn't amused.

Personally I feel sorry for the mouse.

What Did Rooney Get For His Birthday from United Players?

2008-10-22T09:06:00.000+01:00

You should have noticed that Wayne Rooney has recently shaved his head, last friday it was his 23rd birthday and you can probably now guess what him ManUnited team mates gave him for a present.

He has been the butt of most of the jokes around the dressing room and they gave Rooney a wig for his 23rd.

A source said: “He’s not getting away with it. He’ll probably get a curly Scouse wig to remind him of home.”

He has also been mocked up an Amy Winehouse beehive and Manchester United's legend Sir Bobby Charlton's combover.

Somehow I don't think he will be wearing them out in public

Ronaldo DID Cheat

2008-10-08T10:03:00.000+01:00

Former lover of Cristiano Ronaldo has said that he did cheat on her, which is not a surprise considering he is a young, rich, Premier League footballer who will have girls falling at his feet.

Nereida Gallardo is still hitting the headlines after claiming that she found saucy messages from another girl on Ronaldo's phone.

Speaking on Spanish TV she claimed: “In the time we were together, I looked at his mobile.
“And I got a surprise – in Spanish. The other woman was Spanish. Either that or she was from Miami!
“It always seemed that he was playing around with girls by text message so I said to him: ‘If you want to play these games then tell me and I can turn on my old phone and I can go back to having my pick!’"

It seems that she took her relationship with Ronaldo seriously, she even had his initials tatooed on her wrist:
“I had it done before I saw the message.
“I’m going to take it off, my mother works for a dermatologist who removes tattoos and he is going to remove it for me.”

Ronaldo dumped WAG by text

2008-09-29T11:28:00.000+01:00

Cristiano Ronaldo's former girlfriend Nereida Gallardo has spoken out about him and it's not all good- what a surprise!

Nereida claims that Ronaldo is a coward for ending their seventh month relationship by text.

This is the interview she gave:
"He is very good in bed. That's why I was with him," she said. "We had sex the first night we met."
"I was upset by the way he finished the relationship, which to me seems 100 per cent cowardly. He is very immature."
"There were some problems with his family as they were a little jealous"
"He's very manipulated by his mother and she was always very protective towards him, which is normal.
"But she never called me to try to sort things out."
"The city (Manchester) is a little bit sad and the nightclubs close early," she said. "Life was only PlayStation, movies on TV and sex. But his house is impressive, with three floors."
"I was faithful throughout our relationship but I'm not sure about him," she said. "I found text messages in Spanish one day on his mobile phone that made me suspicious."

Cristiano's spokesperson has refused to comment.

Anderson In Drugs Bust

2008-09-26T11:41:00.000+01:00

One of my favourite blogs- The Spoiler is reporting that Anderson was on the phone to Brazilian Ronaldinho about attending a party with a known drug traffiker. This known drug traffiker was arrested on monday, at Andersons home in Brazil.

Nobody is suggesting at all that Anderson or Ronaldinho are involved with drugs but it is still interesting.

Is Berbatov's dad a rapist?

2008-09-25T11:27:00.000+01:00

There was an exclusive released by The Sun today stating that Dimitar Berbatov has a dark secret and they have said what the dark secret is.

The Sun have said that Dimitar Berbatov's father- Ivan Berbatov - spent two years in jail for his part in a football team “roasting” of a Norwegian girl.
The Sun better hope that they have got this right because it could stir up a load of heartache for the girl in question.

Here is the story, how I understand it:

Ivan was one of six footballers who was jailed for rape of a woman who is only known as Rose.
Summer of 1983 and the Bulgarian team Pirin Blagoevgrad were staying in a hotel in Varna and players 'befriended' a woman in the bar.
Later on the woman told police that they raped her, she picked out seven players in an identity parade, one was Ivan Berbatov.
Six were jailed but they all claimed that they paid her £160 for sex.

This is a very sensitive issue for me due to certain reasons but to bring this out now I think is disgusting.
The press never got hold of this story whilst Berbatov was at Tottenham (as far as I no) and it is just going to stir things up for him and the girl Rose.

In my opinion some things should just be left alone.

Owen Hargreaves Latest Girlfriend

Wayne, how can you be so stupid?

2008-09-24T10:45:00.001+01:00

Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen had to be rescued from a motorway when Rooney filled up the car with the wrong petrol, this mistake could cost him around six thousand pounds.

Manchester United striker Rooney was driving Coleen's supercharged Range Rover Sport V8 when they stopped off to fill it up, Wayne forgot that the car took diesel and he filled it up with unleaded.

The £90,000 car stopped within minutes and it had to be towed away.

A Range Rover engineer said: “Putting petrol in a highly-tuned diesel engine can be catastrophic. It can cause extensive damage and the engine can seize up.”

A motorist said: “The hazard lights were flashing on the car and Wayne was standing talking to a Highways Agency patrol driver. He looked pretty sheepish.”

Many people say that footballers only play football because they dont have any brains and this isn't helping the situation.

United Stars WAG Exposed As A Hooker

2008-09-21T13:25:00.000+01:00

Yes, that is right, one of the Manchester United players girlfriend has been exposed as a 2k a night drug dealing hooker. I bet that you can probably guess who's girlfriend it is? You can go to the bottom of the post to see who it is or you can read the post first and try and guess.

According to The News Of The World, the player in question had no idea that she was a prostitute. His girlfriend (but could now be ex-girlfriend) offered NOTW's undercover reporter a 'cocaine fuelled threesome' and also showing the reporter pictures of her and the player together.
He has apparently been dating Fernanda for years but he has also reportedly been dating other women who he has been out on dates and holiday with such as Gemma Atkinson and Nereida Gallardo. Have you got it yet?

The reporter said:

“Fernanda likes him (I replaced his name with him) very, very much indeed and has been dating him secretly for years.
“She told me they’ve been having sex together for some time - although she’s always known and understood she wasn’t going to be his Number 1.”

Here is what she offered:

She offered full sex for £460.
She stripped naked and teasingly gyrated in front of the reporter.
She sold the reporter two grammes of A-Class drug cocaine.
She promised a three-in-a-bed romp with a Czech hooker.
She performed a raunchy lesbian show with her.

The Manchester United player has apparently introduced his 'girlfriend' to Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and team mates.

If this is true, then he will be getting loads of stick.

Have you guessed which player it is?

Here is the answer: Cristiano Ronaldo

What Did Berbatov Do To Celebrate?

2008-09-08T08:38:00.001+01:00

Imagine that you have just signed for Manchester United, you are now being paid thousands and thousands of pounds a week, what do you do to celebrate?

Well, if you are Dimitar Berbatov then you will go straight out and buy 25 brand new pairs of Nike trainers.
Berbatov is now being paid £100,000 a week, and he blew £2,500 of it on trainers.

A Source told The Sun:
“Berbatov was like a boy in a sweet shop. He wanted to celebrate his move – and huge pay rise – by doing some shopping.
“Before we knew it, he had chosen 25 pairs.
“God knows why anyone would want 25 pairs of new trainers.
“That’s enough for two football teams, the referee and the two linesman.
“Then again, it won’t take him very long to earn £2,500 with the money he’s now on.”

This is not the only thing that Berbatov is going to splash out on, Berbatov is currently looking to buy Derby midfielder Robbie Savages mansion.

The source added: “He’s expressed an interest in buying Robbie’s place.
“Robbie isn’t shy about showing off his wealth – so it would certainly fit the bill for Berbatov, one of the country’s most expensive players.
“It’s a really extravagant footballers’ pad, full of gadgets and over-the-top fittings.
“There’s a huge walk-in wardrobe where Robbie keeps all his dodgy clothes. So there’s plenty of space for all Berbatov’s new trainers.”

Well, if you have the money, you might aswell spend it!!!

Rooney On His New TV Show

2008-08-29T09:39:00.001+01:00

Wayne Rooney has been filming for his new TV show, Rooney has travelled the country to find a new footie star and he has spoken exclusivly to The Sun.

Here is the interview:

“It’s very exciting to be part of something like this — helping find good, young players.
“It’s amazing to see how talented the kids out there actually are.
“But it’s horrible when I have to tell someone they’ve not made it to the next round.
“Just seeing the disappointment on their face is awful.
“They have a good idea themselves if they’ve not done too well.
“But it’s really difficult to actually tell them. I’ve never done anything like that before.
“When they’re walking over, I know if I’m going to put them through or not.
“Then you’re just trying to comfort them, trying to soften the blow a bit — but it’s very hard.
“You can see the disappointment in their faces when you tell them the bad news.
“It’s probably one of the worst things I’ve ever had to do.
“Then of course you get the ones who are really nervous while they wait for your decision — and the joy they get from it is brilliant.
“It’s a judging thing, with kids leaving the competition throughout.
“In that way I suppose it is like an X Factor-style show but we’re after footballers here, trying to find the latest young talent.”

“When I was a kid we’d be shooting against a wall, aiming at road signs, with jackets down for goals, stuff like that.
“It was great for things like accuracy and helping control because on different surfaces you obviously get weird bounces.
“If you’re playing on a road it’s much more difficult to get your touch right.
“So when you come to a proper game, it seems easier to play.
“I’m not saying I wouldn’t have been a professional if I hadn’t played street football — but it certainly helped me and I get benefits from it even now.
“Hopefully the lads and girls who don’t make it will be back next year to show what they can do because it’s all about how you react to disappointments.”

Rooney admitted: “After that game (FA Cup against Portsmouth), the dressing room was a horrible place to be. No words were said and club-wise it’s the worst I’ve ever been in.
“We realised that, with the other teams who were left in the competition, we would have had a great chance to win the FA Cup. It was really disappointing.
“The important thing was to keep that feeling at the back of your mind and make sure we went on to win the Premier League and Champions League.
“But there’s no doubt it was a major disappointment.”

“Since I came to United they’ve always been the team everyone wants to beat, so we’re all used to that. And winning the Double was a great achievement — but we’re not satisfied with that.
“It’s something we all spoke about when we came back in pre-season — we want more trophies.
“We don’t want to be known as a team which won the Double and that was it. We want to make history.
“Hopefully in the next few years we will, too. I think we can do great things because we’ve got experienced players and young lads who can only get better.
“Hopefully we will all keep learning, keep playing well and keep winning trophies.
“In five or six years I hope people are saying what a great team we became.”

Ron Blows 150k on ................... a numberplate

2008-08-24T15:15:00.000+01:00

Manchester United's "slave" Cristiano Ronaldo has apparently spent 150,000 GPB on a car numberplate.
The numberplate says - CR7. In other words, his name and his Manchester United number.

I have no problems with personalised number plates but that is ridicoulas amount of money to spend on a numberplate.

A source said: “Cristiano is developing an obsession with CR7. It has to be on everything he owns – cars included.
“He has been after the number plate for ages and finally got his hands on it.”

That has got to be good news for United fans because if he is getting obsessed with CR7 then it might mean that he will be staying at Old Trafford for longer than a season.

Rooney, Face Of Mercedes?

2008-08-20T12:11:00.000+01:00

Wayne Rooney has been made the face of Mercedes, Mercedes are known for their, how can I put it? upmarket customers. To put it bluntly- Rooney is known as a chav, I love the player but if I am honest, I am not sure if this is the best move for Mercedes.
The car manufacturer has decided to sign a £1million contract which has made Wayne Rooney its new ambassador.
Rooney has already taken delivery of one of their cars- a brand new customised Mercedes Benz CL63 Coupe which is worth around £121,200.

A source said: ‘Wayne is chuffed to bits with his new car. He is a car lover and has a beautiful collection of cars. Now Coleen will have to drive them, or he’ll have to make do with driving them off-road as he is only allowed to drive Mercedes to most events.
‘Wayne’s a big fan of Mercedes and he bought Coleen an SLK 280 for her birthday two years ago.’

A source at Mercedes said: ‘We very much wanted Wayne to be the face of the brand. Mercedes will set Wayne up as an icon with their cars. There is an option in the contract for him to feature in some adverts.’

Rio Names Child Tate

2008-08-15T09:50:00.000+01:00

Last week Rio Ferdinand's wife gave birth to his second child, who weighed 7lbs 6oz.
Rio named his first child Lorenz and now he has named his second child Tate.

Does anything sound familiar? Well If you know who the man photographed underneath is, then you should have really figured it out.

It didn't make sense to me but Lorenz Tate was the name of the actor who played a womaniser called Frankie Lymon in the movie Why Do Fools Fall In Love?

Rio tells the mirror:
"We're absolutely delighted to be parents again.

"Becky and I love the name Lorenz Tate and couldn't decide which one to go for. But now we have another child, we've got both the names."

Congratulations to them both

Which United Player Is The Odd One Out?

2008-08-13T17:58:00.000+01:00

When United players returned to training at Carrington, all of them apart from one had brand new cars, but who was the odd one out?

The have been rumours that Cristiano had bought a £340,000 Rolls Royce phantom to celebrate his decision to stay at United but he was the only first team player not to show up in a brand new car.

Now, I no nothing about cars but I will tell you what they were driving anyway.
Ronaldo was driving a silver Bentley (pictured above), Ferdinand was driving a Silver Mercedes CLK DTM AMG, Rooney was in a black BMW X5.
Club captain Gary Neville was driving an Audi Q7, Scholes and Hargreaves turned up in Audi S8s, Tevez was in a white Bentley Continental GT, Wes Brown was in an exclusive model Porsche.

An on-looker said: "Everyone had been going on that Ronaldo had a new car but he was the only one not to have traded his in.
"He was the odd one out."

Personally I don't see what the big deal is, he is a slave after all.

Ronaldo's Latest Lover

2008-08-13T14:33:00.000+01:00

What a surprise, my first post on this blog will be about Cristiano Ronaldo.
It seems like Ronaldo can't get out of the headlines, the latest is that his newest lover wants to join the mile high club with him.

His latest bit is a 30 year old model called Letizia Filippi and this is what she had to say:
“We have exchanged dozens of hot messages.
“My dream would be to get on a private plane, just the two of us, and do it at high altitude.
“It would be so romantic.”

You can see a picture of her here and personally I cannot understand why she is a model.
I give it a month or two and then Ronaldo will be onto the next girl
