Practicing math... :xmassad:

You're still going to school? I thought you're done with it, dunno why...

I really have to say that even when I don't celebrate Christmas I really appreciate the Christmas days. Every time I walk around in my neighborhood some of my neighbors think they must give me a bag full of Christmas cookies :D

Gets on my tits how everyone refers to Cristiano Ronaldo as 'CR7'. Raul's legendary shirt just doesn't look good on him.

Give the lad some respect. What he has been doing in the last couple of years deserves only praises. And number 7 isn't Raul's, he is just a player who wore it also.

Oh and getting ready for you 6000th post as a reply to this :D

Should we give bossingwa Zola's 25 jersey? The number holds some meaning and memories to the fans who expect it's next holder to live up to the standards and earn the right to wear the shirt that means so much to them. Ronaldo will never, in my opinion, be half the player that Raul was when he wore that shirt.

25 is an iconic number that's not common in a squad. 1-11 is.

It's like what Totti said today.. He doesn't want his #10 to be retired, he wants it to be given to someone who Roma feel deserve it. Real Madrid should give the #7 to Ronaldo! It makes sense for them economically too. Ronaldo's always been a 7 player. So shirt sales soar with that.

If Raul's had worn something unique like 25, then it would be a bit like "well why's Ronaldo inheriting that?", but 7 is a generic number.

Nicely said. It's not like Ronaldo is an average player like Bosingwa is, he is a very special one, currently on top of the world with Messi.He is also one of the most complete footballers ever. But above everything, he is writing history at Madrid.

Fair point. But it still annoys me that that arrogant, disrespectful cunt is compared to someone as professional and legendary as Raul.

Where did I disrespect him?

My point was that after watching the irreplaceable (ability and status wise) Raul don that shirt for the whole of his career, there's a certain aura attached to it. And I disagree about him being just another player wearing it, imo the fact that the Raul wore that shirt makes that number special, not the other way round. Maybe had Ronaldo gotten the shirt after an interval of say 5 or 7 years, it would be less of an eyesore.
