Random bit o' Cristiano gushing

[yanks_02]

I finally got around to watching Cris's interview that was broadcast on MUTV around New Year's and I just have to squeal at him a bit. It's amazing how much he's grown since he first arrived at United. And not just in a physical or football sense, but in an emotional sense. And my Lord, his English. He just amazes me more and more everytime I hear

Maybe you're right, it was unreasonable to expect him to stay here forever. But it doesn't mean that it hurts any less. See, for me, he's the reason I started watching football. It sounds pathetic when I say that, but it's true. If I hadn't seen him at the World Cup, I would never have got into the game at all. He intrigued me then, and when I heard that he played for Man United, it was natural to start supporting them too. What I didn't expect was to fall so much in love with the team that he just become a side show instead of the centre of attraction. And now, just after two years of enjoying watching him, he wanted to go somewhere else? I couldn't accept that. I knew that there was no way on earth that I'd switch my loyalties, and I'd never be able to support him the same way if he played in any other jersey. That's why I want to see him at Old Trafford as long as possible.

Oh, I know that most of the media stuff was completely exaggerated. But it doesn't change the fact that all he needed to do to make it stop was say just once that he did not mind staying at OT.

*sighs* You're right of course. There's no way he's going to be here forever. I just hope it's a long time.

Awww, I never knew that about you. Well I can understand how you'd feel hurt then. Those of us who have watched him since he first stepped foot at OT realize that he always wanted to go somewhere else, and it's just bad timing that you started liking United when you did (ie. When he's getting ready to leave.)
