If you're a Manchester United fan, then I guess the answer to this one is clear and simple. He's a hero. He's scored something like 15 goals this season, has been yellow-carded only once - and has tremendous skill and ability.

However, when you're on the other side of the fence, unfortunately you get to see the other side to his game.

I watched the match against Spurs at the weekend, and I'd say it was no penalty and a dive. I don't blame referee Mark Clattenburg; it was a difficult one to call. And dare I say it? I have some sympathy for Martin Jol.

But as we know, this is not the first time (and probably won't be the last) that Cristiano has dived to gain an advantage. Back in December, when United played Middlesbrough, a similar situation occurred. It led to United taking the game in a 2 - 1 win, leaving Boro boss Gareth Southgate fuming.

If we think back to the World Cup (maybe we don't want to) and to the Wayne Rooney incident, Ronaldo's behaviour in pressing the ref to red-card Rooney won him no friends. Against the French, yet another diving incident had him booed with every touch he made.

I know people have been saying this for ages, but it's time that this kind of behaviour was well and truly clamped down on.

Whilst I'm using Ronaldo as the example, he's by no means the only player that behaves in this way. And, being and Arsenal fan, I'm well aware that we are not immune, either!

I'd noticed a rumour (denied by Luis Felipe Scolari) claiming he'd said Ronaldo should leave United and head to Barcelona. What a shame it's just a rumour . . . we’d have one less villain in the Premiership.
