The standard of the league is very high at the moment, and that is testament to Ronaldo's quality.
sorry i think i may have wrote it wrong, what i meant was that there are many leagues in europe but because everyone has skysports no-one watches anything else but the english league and are only interested in this league.

i cant see many people watching messi and kaka (amongst others)every week, if they did then they have a diff view.

i hope you get what im saying now

yes i agree the premier league is prob the strongest at the moment and going through a very good time as most of the top countrys do.

also i think they should leave the george best thing in the past where it belongs and stop comparing to current day.

yes he is pretty amazing but it helps when you also have a team around you like he does i dont think he would be talked about quite as much if he was at a different club

add berbatov to man utd and then we can watch some even more class

Hahaaa! "to get his goal tally up" Give us a break you nugget!

If torres had the confidence and dead ball ability of Ronaldo don't you think he would jump at the chance to take a few set pieces for his team?

Honestly, you write some amount of shit about your team and its players but that takes the biscuit!

No one is on about Torres though this is about Ronnie and you maybe right with it boosting his goals but have you seen those free kicks? Some of them arguably better/harder than any Torres goal.

Bottom line though you can argue this or that but HE IS top scorer and thats all that matters and Torres aint a winger he starts up front further than anyone else for you.
