Even before all the talk, I often discussed this with my kids (who detest him with a passion!) but as I say to them - look at him in a red shirt - steam from the ears time, hatred with a passion, now look at him in a white shirt, still hate him, but as much? no way, as a person yes, but as a footballer, you can't!
Now picture him in a blue shirt..... I'm warming to the idea, simply because he is one of the best in the world at what he does.
'Ronaaaaldo, whoo oooo oo, Ronaaaaaldo, whoo oooo oo, he comes from sunny spain, and City win again, Ronaaaldo.........'
No? ;)
(And before you say it - I know he isn't Spanish, but technically he would have come from sunny Spain....)
