Ronaldo IS the best. He said I had great abs!

MY favourite player outside of Arsenal? Cristiano Ronaldo.

I went to Turin... he did say I have great abs. To say it’s not something I hear very often is an understatement. We’ve become quite good friends.

I don’t have a favourite foreign team, but I do have a favourite foreign player. I think he is the best to have ever played the game. Wet Wednesday in Bolton and you need a goal to save your life, I would put money on Cristiano.

For 16 years we have had him and Lionel Messi at the peak of their powers. Ronaldo has done it on the international stage, in the Champions League and in four different countries while Messi has never left Barcelona. It’s Ronaldo for me.
