Argument in the tunnel at SJP last night In an extraordinary spat as United restored their seven-point lead at the Premier League summit, the pair traded insults at half-time just moments after the United forward had been left writhing in agony, clutching his face on the cinder track, following an intemperate challenge by the England Under-21 captain. According to witnesses, Ronaldo and Taylor were involved in a war of words as they headed to their respective dressing-rooms which saw the World Player of the Year allegedly ridicule his opponent's footballing skill. Taylor hit back by branding the Portuguese international "ugly" as temperatures rose before Ronaldo's team-mate, Rio Ferdinand, and referee Steve Bennett, intervened. The fracas occurred shortly after Ferdinand was booked by Bennett for his furious reaction to Taylor's challenge on Ronaldo. Newcastle's caretaker manager, Chris Hughton, defended his player. "Steven's not a malicious type of player," he said. "He's a player of high energy and enthusiasm and that's what we expect from his play. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I suppose both players have got a point, Id love to hear exactly what was said.
You'd be gutted as a footballer if Ronaldo ridiculed your football skills. Only a few could stand toe to toe with him in this league and Taylor def isn't one of them. Taylor using the ugly card as well, ha ha!, dear me! I'm surprised he didn't call his mam a slag n be done with it.
Apparently Ronaldo said something along the lines of "You're shit at football". My reply would have been "and you're shit at driving"
taylor is shit at football the only thing he could do to make the headlines last night was forarm smash the worlds greatest player. like talksport said today "steven taylor is nothing but a bad tackle showboater"
"Thank fuck for that" Hell, at least it's a better attempt than "You're ugly" at least he could have come out with something wittier like "at least I don't have a face like a bag of smashed crabs"
Taylor is fucking brainless idiot. I'd love to have seen his face when Ronaldo pointed out how useless crap he is.
