You are right about the pies! There are photos in one of the gossip mags showing Waynes meals by the pool in Dubai. It was pizza or hot dog every day accompanied by loads of chips, Corona beer and vodka and lemonade. Not the diet of a true professional.
Update on Rooney's ankle injury.
- Thread starter Carl
- Start date
Yep something isn't quite right
Nail On Head. Same reason he comes back after every summer looking like the bastard offspring of Mickey Quinn and Michelle McManus
Fail to beat Wolves or City and they'll be crying for Rooney to come back and get back on form.
Christ, we win a couple of games and suddenly they think we don't need Rooney anymore. If we want to win the big trophies then we really do need the 2009 version of Rooney back in the team.
Hmmm I doubt you siad that this time last year.
To be fair, it's not about winning games so much as people being angry about the contract negotiations (as well as one or two transfer muppets pissed off he wasn't sold and replaced with some big-name striker from the continent)
I can understand the being pissed off with him bit. It's the re-writing history to try and pretend he wasn't our best and most important player last season that's mental.
Actually check back on my posts and you will find I say it every season, the way he lets himself go in the summer is and always has been a disgrace, its nothing to do with the fact that I now hate him.
Already read them thanks.
And you think a vague conspiracy theory on an internet message board about "something fishy going on" is more plausible and convincing than what Phelan had to say?
Drop it Pogue. That's my opinion, you have yours.
Fair enough. We'e all entitled to our own opinions.
Just out of curiosity. What is your opinion, exactly?
Legend and master though he is, this is largely Fergie's fault, as I said repeatedly last season to general outrage. Blame has to go to Capello too, and Rooney himself.
Ridiculously reckless short-termism.
Ridiculously reckless short-termism.
Not the same ankle, Plech.
Oh bugger. And all that righteous indignation that was coursing through my veins...
Channel it. Write a strongly worded letter to the Daily Mail about tuition fees.
Wouldn't be surprised if this was Nike's idea or that they are somehow involved in initiating this ..... great bit of 'active branding' for them highlighting thier technical expertise and moving one of thier star sporting properties away from scandal and back into sporting issues.
Expect lots of photo's of Rooney with high tech equipment and in super athlete poses across the tabloids next week! His journey to redemption begins...
Ofcourse. He's fat, shite, scouse and has the first touch of a Dirk Kuyt.
That's what you'll be lead to believe anyway.
Something fishy about this...
Hilarious
Hilarious
Ummmm You do know he actually IS Scouse....right?
Disgraceful. I mean I wouldn't eat like that simply to keep my digestive systrem in order and to stay in some sort of shape. The guy is supposed to be a 25 year old athlete. I really would be amazed if they is more that 5 years left in him at the top.
Scouseness is not genetic, it's learned behaviour. An intensive re-education effort can remove the worst symptoms. But Rooney looks like he's too far gone at this stage.Ummmm You do know he actually IS Scouse....right?
stretch his injury to January and then sell him. That seems like the plan at the moment.
No, we don't.
Best player yes, doesn't mean the team play better with him, see how much better we have been attacking with Berbatov and Chicharito playing.
Don't forget the smoking and excessive drinking.
Don't we do shit like this all the time? Anderson going back home, Tevez going back home(at West Ham, here and City?), Nani's resurgence came not soon after he was allowed a week off to himself to focus on getting in the right shape and mindset I think he said in an interview...I think it's a pretty common thing when a player loses sight of his goals and responsibilities.
Yes, we... do?...
Actually, "no we don't" makes no sense there. I think you meant either "no, it isn't" or "no I don't", depending on whether you're responding to the first half of the post or the end of it.
Either way a fit and in form Rooney will be a massive boost to the team. Don't see how anyone can argue otherwise.
How much better than what? Than we played when Rooney was at his best last season? Are you insane? So far, Hernandez and Berbatov have put in one really top class performance together. Against Stoke. In a game we won by a goal in injury-time. Absolutely nuts that people seem to think this makes last season's second highest scorer in the league surplus to requirements. All the more so on the back of Berbatov's worst game in ages.
That won't happen, so long as the paparazzi keep following him round on holiday. You think he's the only top class United player to have a drink and a smoke in his down-time?
I agree. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember Fergie giving Schmeical a holiday half-way through a season once too.
Okay then, no it isn't.
Berbatov and Rooney always seems very disjointed as a partnership, whereas it's clear as day that Berbatov and Hernandez have hit it off as a destructive partnership, as evidenced by ripping Chelsea apart along with the impressive attacking display against west brom and stoke, fair enough Spurs wasn't a good display from either but since when does berbatov chase passes as he had to continually, making him rated obsolete at times.
Sure some smoke and drink, usually offset by a good diet, Wayne doesn't make any visible attempt at such a thing.
We hardly ripped Chelsea apart. Hernandez only came on at half-time and Chelsea were the better side for most of that half.
As for the West Brom and Stoke games, I don't think anyone should be deciding we no longer need a player who almost scored 30 league goals last season, on the basis that we scored 4 goals during one home and one away game against teams that will probably be battling relegation at the end of the season.
How do you know?
Seriously, the whole concept that a player as good as Wayne Rooney has suddenly become surplus to requirements because we don't like him and Hernandez has scored a few goals against relegation fodder in his absence is one of the most mental ideas on here in ages.
So them two coming on at 1-0, becoming 3-1 isn't ripping into their defence?
Who said surplus to requirements? No one has said that, however looking for positives when he's likely to leave in the summer is quite reasonable, in a 4-5-1 Rooney is our best, by a long shot, but how often do we play with 1 up top? Not often, 4-4-2 is our regular formation in which Berbatov and Hernandez have shown to be the best pairing at the club.
You say ts mental I say your just not looking at what is said. No one but no one is saying Rooney is shit.
It's not Nike Town, that's a shop, they mean the Nike Campus.. Where City were training this summer.
It's equivalent to a 2-1 scoreline after they came on. Hardly ripped apart.
He is?
I reckon Fergie has no intention of letting him go. Nor does Rooney have any intention of leaving. If he really did want to leave he cost himself a monstrous signing on fee by signing that new contract. He might not be the sharpest tool in the box but even Wayne Rooney wouldn't be that thick (or that badly advised).
He'll be on a plane back to Manchester by Thursday.
It was 73f on Wednesday, 64f at 11pm last night. It's still a way warmer climate than Mcr.
The plot thickens. He's off in January then.
