I still can't believe how terming him as the third best player still isn't enough for people. Out of what millions. You have to consider his terrible form for Portugal, as well as his chocking against big teams, and against quality oppositions from other leagues. He does comparatively well against less talented players, and don't get me started on his diving, crying, acting abilities.
Its another matter entirely fans start ranking them to decide on the absolute best. Which most do for Christiano, forgetting the fact that he harps every other week about how he's the best in the world, and Ferguson chimes in. For me? He's a gem of a player, but not the number one in the world. That's where the overratedness (is this even a word?) starts. Our point of difference.

But United.. 
I can say not anyone actually reads Pakistani media, and that might be a bit of a valid statement. But I'm sure you'll find that there are many people who read British sites, magazines and even papers every once in a while. I was watching a Top Gear episode in which they said the best three cars in the world were all British. And everyone agreed. That was just about the funnies thing I heard in my 23 years on this planet. One good season makes CR the best ever. We'll continue this discussion when he goes to Madrid next season. Then he'll be just another diving Portuguese cnut, and depending on how he fares, overrated or not. We'll see then. While not necessarily agreeing with it.

Christiano plays in the 'best league in the world' with the best team and dozens of world class players. One can say he single-handidly won Manchester everything. But the best individual effort I've seen from one player in a season while playing with not-so-great teams was the original Ronaldo in the 90s.

. And don't even get me started on Sky's usual "this is why the prem is the best in the world"

That's taking his last season as a benchmark. An year before that everyone was saying Kaka was the absolute best. I never bought much into that, sure he had a good season with us and won everything, that's that. Result? Kaka failed this season. Let's see how CR fares in the next couple of years. The thing with me is I like to measure things by taking into account more than one seasons of a certain player. A player who can spread it consistently over a period of 2-3 or more years. Where does that leave me? I'll still think he's on top of the world. And he's still an arrogant prink. I don't have to like him or think him as the world's best (ever) to enjoy his game. Let's wait and see where guys like Kaka, Messi, Ronaldo, Ibra, Torres, etc end up down the line once they're done. On their worst day, they are still the top 3 or 4 teams in the world along with Milan, Madrid, Bayern, etc.
At least you're from England and telling me this!! At least you're from England and telling me this!!
