Doh! The whole dentist chair thing totally skipped my mind.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Idiot, how can anyone be so fecking dim in this day and age, there's plenty of warnings about drink driving.
So glad he's gone now.

He was a massive piss head mate.
Pretty much, yeah. Just fly off the handles a bit
It's not a question of what I think or have done. You're advocating that it's safer to drive after smoking pot, than having a drink. Pot effects people differently, but as you only see things from your perspective, I can't help you either, aside saying there's reasons why people who are under the influence shouldn't drive.
Thats the type of leadership united are missing.
Thought it was commonly known that he is a p8ss head. Him, along with Bardsley, and Gibson. Many stories of them locally on benders.
If this is true, and he was drunk at the wheel, I hope he gets the harshest penalty imaginable.
Millions of kids around the world look up to him. What a role model, eh?

The people crucifying him without any facts or proof. A lot different from how you just tried to portray it and hence why people with pitchforks tend to go around in groups of collective ignorance.
If he is over the limit and just left the pub after 5 or 6 crucify him, once you have proof. You don't. No one does yet. Still however we have people calling him a moron for it and he should have the book thrown at him.
I haven't checked the papers since this morning but last I saw nothing said he had failed a breathalizer test.
Yeah I was just reading that. It's 24hrs it stays in your spit so basically the same as having alcohol in your system. You might not be drunk or stoned but there is enough trace in your body to do you. Still flawed but then like I said to someone else normally if I've been drinking or smoking the night before I just won't drive the next day as it's not worth losing my license.
He's been officially charged with a drink-driving offense, what more do you need?
Did you even read my post.
Are you Busbybabe86?
Sorry, didn't realise it was a personal discussion between the two of you. I'll let myself out thanks!
Before I go...

Would be funny, but you don't get points for DD, just a ban.
Does that amount of alcohol produce a statistically significant increase in the likelihood of a driver having an accident, or is this just another example of liberal puritanism?
If people are a danger to others they shouldn't be on the road, but we should base that determination on facts. Is there any real evidence that someone who's had a pint of beer in the last few hours is significantly more likely to crash his car?
I don't know the answer to that question by the way.
Err, I hope you're not serious. This is some Trump-level logic.
Hope that clears it up for you. You know the key bit of since this morning when there was no proof of anything but still had people calling for his head without any proof.
Influence can mean anything from drugs to lack of sleep. It's been proven that lack of sleep is just as dangerous and drinking and driving. All I said was its safer to smoke pot and drive than DD. Btw most of the people seem to agree with this, so no, its not my perspective.
The flipside to this, is that if he cleaned himself up, got back into the zone and focused on winning some silverware for Everton, he could clearly still be a hell of a player for a few years, because if he's been drinking the last few years he's still managed to remain at a level most players never even reach.
Without meaning to sound too Rawkish... if you're reading this Wayne, sort yourself out and get back to the drug of winning football matches and being a fecking beast on the pitch, you're better than this mate.
Ok, that was Rawkish as feck, but I find this really sad. And after watching this guy's entire career, I want better for his story than this. And I still think he could turn it around.

Well there is proof now, lad. Any argument in his favour went out of the window the very moment he was charged.
They don't slap a drink-driving offense on you unless they have sufficient evidence to support the charge. He could very well get 6-12 months worst case scenario.
Decent contribution in a genuinely horrible thread.
That is incredibly stupid. You think it is possible to be smoking pot and drive safely?
Well, some logic is better than none. Your reply doesn't have any logic at all.
Anyone who's seriously asking for proof driving drunk as Rooney was in this case is not dangerous does not warrant serious discussion.Well, some logic is better than none. Your reply doesn't have any logic at all.
Yes.
Is it true there was a woman in his car?
Drinkwater should have a word with him.
Safer to drive high from weed than drunk from alcohol, I'll give you that. I'm a long term smoker, and I personally would say smoking slows down my reflexes. Which IMO, makes it unsafe to drive.
Would have been even funnier if it was the actual Rio posting.
She earns well enough herself. I'm sure she doesn't need his money.
it was her car....not even his. I'm not judging as it might be he was that pissed and he thought it was a nice gesture to drive a girl home who was more drunk than him - If the stories as of 30 minutes ago are true - but what tool worth £xm doesn't just pay for a taxi to take someone home rather than drive a car they're not insured is just crazy.
I dunno. I'm one of those who can't even form a sentence when very stoned from a mix of paranoia and being completely out of it. Effects us all in different ways. I know people who do a bong before heading to work in office on a monday morning. I wouldn't make it past the front door if I tried that.
No doubt Rooney will have his spin team on the case and will have a much more positive side to the story to tell and a public apology all by tomorrow. He'll be crucified for a few weeks and his head will be wrecked but as soon as the next big football story or terrorist attack somewhere kicks in then it will be mostly blown over.
Firstly, what's he doing going on an all-day binger? Professional my arse. Secondly, that is one of the few things he could do that instantly makes me lose all respect for him. He has not even a trivial excuse, the guy is rich enough where a taxi is an irrelevant expense. Complete twat, I hope he gets the book thrown at him, which he sadly won't. You should serve prison time for drink driving.
she earns a few £m mate, not the £20m wayne earns every year. no matter what you earn there's always more as we all know
Bizarre case.
