Ronaldo
Plays Santa Forward Manchester United star Cristiano
blows £6k on grotto
RONALD-HO-HO-HO! Man United ace
Cristiano is going Christmas crazyturning his house into
a GROTTO and dressing up as SANTA to hand out pressies.
The twinkle-toed star plans a lavish Christmas Day bash
and has paid an events firm a whopping £6,000 to
decorate his £4 million house and provide a Father
Christmas suit.
His Cheshire mansion now has a 6ft tree in EVERY ROOM,
thousands of twinkling lights, hundreds of baubles and a
huge nativity scene.
And we've put Ronaldo in a Santa suit to show how the
23-year-old Portugal star will look when he gives his
gifts to mum Dolores, sisters Telma and Katia and
brother Hugo, who are flying in from Madeira and Lisbon.
A pal said: “Cristiano has a big family Christmas
planned. He's been telling the lads he's got a firm
which does a lot of the Old Trafford parties to trim up
his house.”
But £120,000-a- week Ronaldo will have to steer clear of
the booze on Christmas Day as United take on Stoke City
on the 26th.
Boss Alex Ferguson has even ordered players in for light
training on Christmas morning.
What a Grinch!
...Laments Arsenal Defeat
Chelsea
midfielder, Mikel Obi, on Sunday said his team's 2-1
defeat to Arsenal in their Premier League match in
London was painful but not enough to stop the Blues from
winning the title.
Speaking with our correspondent after the match, the
Super Eagles star said the Gunners won because they took
their chances in the encounter, lamenting his team's
poor performance.
He said, “Football can be funny. We did our best but
Arsenal got the goals and that was it. We are going to
fight back and work hard to ensure we win the league
this time because we have a good team that can achieve
that for Chelsea.
“We still have many games to play and it is obvious
plenty of drama awaits all the title contenders as we
move on.”
Chelsea manager, Felipe Scolari, was forced to replace
Mikel with Florent Malouda with 20 minutes to go in a
bid to force an equaliser.
The Blues, who had not been beaten at home in the league
for 86 games before its 1-0 defeat to Liverpool on
October 26, have now lost two of their last four Premier
League ties at Stamf ord Bridge.
Chelsea was the only side in English professional
football not to have conceded a second-half goal in a
league game this season before Robin van Persie's brace
helped Arsenal beat its London rival on Sunday.
