Rooney Taken Off Again

He was poor by his standards and deserved to get subbed. The sub last week v Wigan confused me because we were chasing the game and he was one of the few players we had who could change the game. This week however, the game was wrapped up, he needs a rest and it was evident through his poor performance.

Well at least he hasn't gone playing golf for months on end while getting paid cos he had a disagreement with his boss.......

I ask a question about indiscipline at U*d and I don't get an answer, instead I get the typical Rag diatribe sent back my way. NW, just for the record, the money that T***z was paid when he went AWOL has since been taken back by the club but don't let facts get in the way of a good story eh?

This isn't the first tine I've seen Slur and Shrek rowing on the sideline and it certainly won't be the last, so your claim about being shown the door is rubbish. You do understand why T***z had to be used again don't you? The legal reasons? His transfer value? I'd be more upset if T***z was allowed to do next to nothing and receive them wages rather than be used to our gain when we couldn't move him on in January. Mario constantly breaks curfew rules, does he? Twice and he was fined on the second occasion. Does acting like a (unt on the pitch include having the best strike rate for minutes played in the PL?

How much influence does a 21 year old actually have on a squad mate? His indiscipline on the pitch is no worse than Shrek's was at a similar age and pales in comparison to Cantona's at a much older a presumably more mature age, yet Fergie stuck by them. There's quotes from Lescott doing the rounds today defending Mario, because he can see through the media bull****.

He didn't set off fireworks in his own home. 90% of the crap written about him is false. You really are a Sly Sports wet dream mate. Btw Rooney was dropped from a game this season for breaking curfew rules, was he not? As for seeing it my way, how is that any different to you?

If you really want to know the truth it can be found mate. A friend of his brothers lit the firework in the bathroom, he panicked and threw it in the bin, setting the place ablaze. This is the reason Mario had the 'Why Always Me?' t-shirt printed up, because he was getting blamed, yet again, for something he didn't do. The reason he did the safety campaign is because he is a good bloke at heart ( evident through his philantropy, eg helping Brazilian streetkids in the Favellas, funding a house for kids with disabilities in Italy and funding housing projects in Sudan to name a few ) and when he got the call asking would he do it he obliged. As for breaking his curfew, one was ordering a pizza at 1.45am and the other was being at a strip club a couple of nights before a game ( he's a teetotaller btw so no alcohol consumed ) and was subsequently fined. Hardly heinous crimes. Just one more point mate, every single thing Mario does is scrutinised to the extreme, moreso than any other footballer because of the Hollywood image the British press have built up for him, so every slight misdemeanour is magnified and exaggerated to sell papers. He is naively idiotic at times and he has that 'red mist' which is often seen in young players but he is not this (unt that he's made out to be, far from it. Make of that what you will.
