To be honest...anyone silly enough to stick out a foot on Ronaldo deserves to give away a penalty.

He cheats just as much as Gerrard or Owen.

But they're English so it's ok

Ferguson got slated for telling his players to cheat in European matches, but he argued, that at that level those were the fractions by which matches were won and lost.
Wrong, but if English teams wanted to compete against the top continental clubs...it had to be done.

I have no scruples when it comes to cheating against Italians , Germans , Argentinians or Turks

haha. I still think the English Premier is the most honest league in Europe anyway, despite the increase in diving etc.

I used to watch the Bundesliga regually and it's very rare you see diving or cheating there.

In fact it's quite odd watching it , it's like watching the premier league 10/15 years ago

You`re right of course - i`m sick of covering for that fker!

My favourite Ronaldo moment was during the last World Cup, where we watched him appealing to the ref Mid-Air! Even my wife cracked up laughing.

Still i like watching him attack.

A not overly-pessimistic or optimistic Wigan fan here. Kind of awkward seeing as I'm living in Bolton for now...
