I was just reading about el Classico tonight and looked up Ronaldo's scoring stats since joining Real. It's a remarkable record; 118 goals in 111 appearances in total, 56 of them coming in 50 appearances this season including 7 hat tricks.
He might be a bit like marmite, but f*** me that's some going!

You need to take into account the standard of the majority of the teams he plays against in La Liga before you go overboard on his scoring stats! Even if he was playing for ManUre he wouldn't have anywhere near those stats in the EPL.

Granted, the level of competitiveness in the Spanish league is second only to that of our friends north of the border, but it is still impressive at any professional level.

Read what I actually wrote, not what you think I wrote.

Spanish teams take the Europa seriously, prem teams don't.

After scoring 56 goals in a season, you'd be a little bit miffed that you still arent top scorer!
Interestingly, if you look at Messi's stats over the last 2 years they are very similar... Played 109, scored 116.
I'd love to see both players in the prem to see how they get on. They would still score hatfuls (as Ronaldo already has done in the past), but they certainly wouldnt be bagging 7 hattricks a season. The gulf between the top 2, and then then next 4/5 or so teams in Spain and the rest is huge compared to the relatively tight Premiership, where teams dont roll over and "lesser" teams are more than capable of picking up results against the "big boys".
