I'm back after a week in the Benidorm sun and trying to keep up with
the Ronaldo affair has been an absolute nightmare!! But this report
did strike me after reading the Daily Mirror whilst abroad:

He's famous for leaving defenders stumbling with his football
trickery but this time it looks like Cristiano's the one who has
fallen head over heels.

The wonder winger could not keep his hands off girlfriend Nereida
Gallardo as they cavorted on a beach in Sardinia.

First a grinning Ronaldo splashed in the surf with Nereida, clearly
without a care over the uproar at his other apparent love affair ...
Real Madrid.

Then when his girlfriend flopped on to a sun lounger he hurled
himself on top of her to demand a kiss and a cuddle. Not the first
time he's gone down all too easily when he senses a chance of
scoring!!

But if Cristiano is concerned about his impending showdown with
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson over his outspoken ambition to quit
United for Madrid, he was hiding it very well.
