At the tender age of 23 Cristiano Ronaldo has the world at his feet. This season in 46 games he has scored 40 goals, and from a player who’s not your traditional striker. Rather than play as a Centre Forward, a winger or a midfielder Ronaldo tends to sit somewhere in between. He has pace, power, strength, finishing skills and all the tricks you can throw your hat at. So, could he become the best player the world has ever seen? He’s probably the world’s best player at the moment, some people will argue about the qualities of Messi or Kaka, but I cannot agree and in my opinion Ronaldo is hands down the best player at this moment in time. Could he reach the dizzy heights of Maradona and Pele, or will he sit in that second tier of great players, the Zidanes and Eusebio’s. Could Ronaldo’s fate be the same of that of Ronaldinho? For two seasons there was no more entertaining player to watch, but he has since “let himself go”. So could he be the best player of all time… we’ll see.

It’s that time of year again, the final game of the championship season is drawing closer, leaving me wondering ‘What’s going to happen?’ There are currently three teams who could reach automatic promotion to the premiership on Sunday, and two of Watford, Crystal Palace, Wolves, Ipswich and Sheffield United will reach the play-offs. As an Ipswich Town supporter I can only hope that results go our way, we have an outside shot, needing to beat Hull City (still aiming for automatic promotion) and hope that two of Crystal Palace, Watford or Wolves loose. To quote Sir Alex Ferguson it’s “squeaky bum time” we just need sit and wait. Something I can guarantee is that the Championship will be a very nervy and exciting place this weekend. Let’s look ahead and wonder what will happen. Good Luck to all you Championship fans out there.
