'Wayne Rooney is a sacrificial lamb and I hate it'
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Christ it's embarrassing watching these grown men cry about their special Wayne not getting playing time.Before opening this thread, i expected the quotes to come from one of the Neville brothers.
Yeah, nah. If anything he has had too much respect for too long. Mourinho has handled it quite well I think. Very dignified for Wayne and the Club.
I like Ray Wilkins but he's definitely got the blinkers on here with Rooney.
Been handled perfectly by Mourinho. Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that he's off this season??
Yet again the defence of Rooney is to tell us all how good he used to be.
That's all they've got.

Is Ray Wilkins writing for BuzzFeed?
Won't someone please stop the Rooneyism 
Jokes aside, this has been a long time coming. Of all the arguments the media can put out to try and make Wayne out to be a victim here, the absolute worst one I've seen is this argument that he should be allowed to play now because of what he's accomplished in the past.

If Rooney was an lamb he would have been put down long ago...
If a player is good enough, the manager will pick him. It doesn't matter if he's 20 or 40 years old.
Credit to Wayne's agent, he's good at his job.
Bore off baldy.
"He has been so good for Manchester United..."
"What he has done over his career..."
"England and Man Utd topscorer..."
"This guy has been a phenomenal footballer..."
All true, none of that has anything to do with whether he should play at the moment.

Since when has anyone ever taken notice of anything Ray Wilkins has said? He missed his calling as a Lahndan cabbie.
Has, is no longer.
Poor widdle WayneCould have mortgaged the house on that being an englishmans quotes.
feck off Gary, dressing up as Ray Wilkins isn't fooling anyone.
Spot on.
I have no ill feeling towards Rooney but you can't afford favours in football to players because of what they've been.
He's an idiot.
I listened to the show and he also said that we cannot out defend City, so we will need to outscore them in next weeks game. This is the City who have conceded nearly 50% more goals than us in the league.

It's the same rubbish that you hear about Wenger. When you're done you're done. There is no room for sentiment in football.
"He doesn't go charging all over the field and helping his teammates out. Rooney does."
Problem is he charges all over the field and kills the team structure.
Too often we ended up with no striker because Rooney decided to run to midfield to help out (when there are others around).
That said, with Zlatan certainly out and our busy schedule, fully expect Wayne to get some game time.

This is one of the most moronic things Ive heard.
Ray Wilkins is Fester from Adams Family

A moronic story from the Daily Mail. Shocking.
Maybe if our Wayne sacrificed the odd Steak Bake and cigarette here and there, he'd still have something to offer Manchester United besides his unending capacity to run around like a headless chicken when things aren't going our way.
To be fair to them, it is direct quotes.
There is one moron here, and for once its not the Mail.
Dear Ray,
He runs all over the field -- thats called a lack of positional discipline.
Bore off slap nuts.

People who actually watch United matches.

Bloody hell is Rooney only 31?? I honestly thought he was 34+
Exactly, Rooney has had a great career in football but his premature decline is down to how he has handled himself in the off season. He is the antithesis of players like Ronaldo, Giggs, Carrick or Zlatan who have looked to remain fit in their later career to extend their playing time.
It's crazy isn't it, same age as Young and Valencia, both of whom look like infinitely better athletes.
He's younger than Ronaldo and Zlatan too who look as fit as ever.
The clues were there for a long time, like how almost every season he'd come back after the summer overweight and unfit. In fact the one season he came back in great shape was so usual everyone was gobsmacked and praising him for it, myself included instead of saying this is how it should be every year tubby, sort your shit out.
Ray Wilkins.....be a great guy for a character witness
