Well, Cristiano Ronaldo was certainly excited to see this impressive bronze statue of himself erected in his hometown over the weekend. The Real Madrid footballer beamed as he posed, thumbs up, next to the 3.4 metre bronze monument of himself, lovingly crafted in what he no doubt perceives to be his own likeness. “This is a very special moment, to have a statue of me,” he said at the grand unveiling in Funchal on the island of Madeira. The statue will make up part of Ronaldo’s personal museum. The exhibition space will apparently host numerous awards he’s earned over the years, including his two Ballon D'Or titles, among other pieces of memorabilia. Tried to copy the picture with no joy but the statue does look impressive in the trouser dept.

Some of the fans on SaintsWeb have been far worse than the media though.

He is right. It is not just Saints fans though. Fans of all clubs are fickle and don't have a clue. I sat amongst some Arsenal and Liverpool fans yesterday and the comments were no different to on here. 5th at Christmas is no mean feat and more then most on here would have imagined in the summer. We have had a really good season so far.

Wheels well and truly back on perhaps?

Changed from Virgin to SKY as Virgin's customer service was appalling.

Nice thought but don't think so. The generals made sure it never happened again and it was only in certain place along the line.

Sums up Yoshida though doesn't it. Still good to know he is lethal in the box with a variety of body parts.

Townsend could be on his way on loan to help QPR get relegated apparently.

We still have the joint best defensive record in the Premiership so the guy must be doing something right surely?

I remember seeing Simon Charlton walking along the touchline at Palace many years ago thinking he was one of the ballboys.

You can understand why but it just shows that occasionally basic decent humanity can shine through no matter what the circumstances.

Hi Alps, full of Christmas cheer I see!!!

For me the most impressive result of the season and for all those slagging off Koeman, a great response. And as someone who has slated Yoshida, fair play to him today. Still a great time to be a Saints fan.

Duly noted. Fair play.

Ron seems to have dismissed the rumours.

Can't help with a band but be careful about the cost. I have a mate who has a 3 piece rock band playing the Maidstone area. He charges about £300 for pub gigs and I know this as I was trying to get him to play my local. He did a gig at a workmates wedding and charged £750 for the same set just because it was a wedding!!!

You aren't Rolf Harris by any chance?

This is all yours alt-J

REO Speedwagon. Wings. Larrry Fast - although he may have been a keyboard player.

With difficulty I guess.

Just seen that Sony have pulled the plug on releasing The Interview following threats from N Korea. So much for the land of the free!!! Bottlers.

I'm with you on this. Why these people think that booing and slagging off the players is going to make things better I have no idea. To me you support your club for better or worse. How would these morons feel if they were having a bad day at work and people came over and started slagging them off in the office? Surely there is enough pressure on the management and team without the so called supporters turning on them as well?

Christ, it is just a game of football. Perhaps we should put the lazy b@stards up against the wall and shoot them next time they lose?

I remember that winter well. There was snow on the ground in London until April from Xmas. I fell over on black ice and broke my are so couldn't go sledging with my mates! There was a stand pipe for water at the end of the road as all the pipes had burst. Bloody nightmare. No central heating in our house in those days either so used to wake up and scrape the ice off the inside of the windows. People nowdays don't know they are born

I think the production team choose two or three possible winners and the rest are brought in to add a bit of entertainment value. Agree that the format should change now. Also where do they get off saying that £250k is a lot of money? It is chicken feed nowdays.
