elampiro: how's rooney an AM when he scored 4 goals as a CF this season? how's rooney an AM when his best scoring record was as a striker in 09/10 & 10/12? did cantona ever play as a striker for united? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 11:58pm On May 25, 2015 |
in 2009/10, Rooney would have won d golden boot and help us win the league etc. He never recovered from his injury at Alianz Arena against Bayern Munich. in s return leg SAF made him play through pains and when our results were getting bad and we were fell from top table, SAF rushed Rooney back not injury free. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:02am On May 26, 2015 |
coogar: He was an AM. We had this argument twice before. He was playing diagonally to wings then run in to score from crossings. His midfield stats tells it too. I can't go into a new argument. I got work doing for a long nite. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 12:06am On May 26, 2015 |
elampiro: nah! rooney just stopped producing after his injury. he played several games after he missed the chelsea/blackburn games & he never returned back to form. so was he still injured when he didn't score a goal from open play between august 2010 & jan 2011? when are you going to admit rooney isn't good enough? elampiro: he was a striker...... no AM has as low as 4 league assists. how can rooney be an AM when his shots per game was about 5? |

elampiro: elampiro: oga, respect yourself and keep my name out of your smelling gluttonous mouth. you are being torn to rags and the best you can do is retort like a pansy. if you cannot put together a decent point to save yourself from being pursued like a petty pickpocket, kindly drop all references to me and answer your critics like the man you are pretending to be. You need to get laid. Some of us are trying to get a life yet marabouts like you wont let us be. face up to the fact that your Rooney is a money grabbing scam and leave me alone. I trust this b.i.tch to quote me. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 6:35am On May 26, 2015 |
coogar: I doesnt matter. He scored 27 goals. His diagonal passes to our effective wingers caused it. This is why he still love diagonal passes. |

elampiro:Stop telling me how he performed in the days of Abraham, we know he was good. Rate his performances in the last 2-3 seasons. |

I said it that Rooney beats Lampard hands down in Assists they were laughing at themselves. Sinizia and Coogar, see below what I believe to be 'OPTA standard' Assists figures. Lampard played 48,729 minutes. Rooney played 31,776 minutes. Lampard played 16,953 minutes more than Rooney. That is 188 full ninety minutes of football matches. Premier League All time most assists Assists Assist name 131 Ryan Giggs 99 Steven Gerrard 96 Frank Lampard 94 Wayne Rooney 89 Francesc Fabregas 80 Thierry Henry 62 James Milner 60 Robin van Persie 59 Gareth Barry 58 Ashley Young 57 Stewart Downing 56 Didier Drogba 53 Peter Crouch 53 Danny Murphy 51 Nolberto Solano 50 Damien Duff 50 Aaron Lennon 49 Nani 49 Dennis Bergkamp 48 Morten Gamst Pedersen 48 David Silva 48 Mikel Arteta 48 Leighton Baines 47 Nicolas Anelka 47 Dimitar Berbatov 46 Cristiano Ronaldo 45 Paul Scholes 45 Luis Antonio Valencia 44 David Beckham 43 Kevin Davies 43 Charles N'Zogbia 43 Robbie Keane 42 Jermaine Pennant 42 Chris Brunt 42 Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink 41 Michael Carrick 40 Steed Malbranque 39 Shaun Wright-Phillips 38 Andrew Cole 38 Paolo Di Canio 38 Theo Walcott 38 Carlos Tevez 38 Gabriel Agbonlahor 38 Robert Pires 37 Emile Heskey 37 Emmanuel Adebayor 37 Matthew Etherington 36 Luis Boa Morte 36 Steven Pienaar 36 Bobby Zamora |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 6:53am On May 26, 2015 |
elampiro: Lampard........48, 729/96 = 507.59 minutes to create an Assists. Rooney..........31, 776/94 = 338.04 minutes to create an Assists. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 6:58am On May 26, 2015 |
elampiro: You are not bright at all. Rooney beats Lampard down in assists? And yet Lampard is above him in the all-time assists table? Can't you read? And yes, Rooney scored more RVP in the past two seasons because same way Lampard played more than him, is the same he played more than RVP. A fit RVP will outshine Rooney over and over again. Rooney has been in Man Utd (a top club) for 11 seasons, Lampard spent more time in West Ham (a low club) than Rooney in Everton yet he has more assists than your glorious Rooney. Rooney is over-hyped. In that last 5 seasons before Lampard started playing bench for Chelshit and Manshitty, he's been copping 20+ goals as midfielder, yet Rooney who's been striking has a record of a midfielder. What a shame!! It took Rooney 5 seasons to score 20+ goals, and Harry kane did it in his first season although he started regularly by November. Rooney is a fraud, simpe!! |

12:18, 4 JUNE 2014 BY LIAM PRENDERVILLE After he 35-year-old announced he will be departing west London this summer, we have broken down his trophy-laden career with the Blues Highest Premier League goal involvement It is becoming quite clear that Lampard is well ahead of his Chelsea colleagues in the record books, but what about his Premier League rivals? Well, the England man is the fifth highest scorer in history but his 101 assists (including West Ham spell) sees him finish second behind Alan Shearer in terms of goal involvement, with 272. He finishes just one ahead of Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs, while Andy Cole and Wayne Rooney complete the top five. Highest Premier League goal involvement. Alan Shearer 324 Lamapard 272 Ryan Giggs 271 Andy Cole 260 Wayne Rooney 258 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/frank-lampards-chelsea-career-numbers-3640342 The above was as at Junes 2014. Rooney added 12 goals and 5 assists to his figures this season. Which pushed him to second place behind Shearer. |

elampiro:You started the insults. Ive logged on to view comments from time to time but i hardly have the time to get involved anymore. It is pretty shocking that you would keep calling my name even when I have nothing at stake. Apology accepted, I apologize in return for mine. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 7:13am On May 26, 2015 |
sinizia: Lampard..........48, 729/96 = 507.59 minutes to create an Assists. Rooney..........31, 776/94 = 338.04 minutes to create an Assists. What was the argument last night? Minutes played. Forget all these village stories............ Ronaldo took 3 years to score 20 goals. Kane must be better than Ronaldo. Ukwu!!! Kane is a striker. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 7:24am On May 26, 2015 |
elampiro: Ronaldo wasn't a striker like your over-paid Rooney. Ronaldo wasn't over-hyped like Rooney before he came to Man Utd. Ronaldo cost less than Rooney. Ronaldo has won the golden boot both in EPL and La Liga. Ronaldo has played less than Rooney in Man Utd. Kane was relatively unknown before he blew via his goals. Rooney as a superstar was still scoring 12 goals in a season for Man Utd. To end this, tell me any top-tier striker, who didn't have injury like Falcao, who played the amount of games Rooney did and scored just one away goal. Shame on Rooney. He's a fraud!! Lampard was third world best player, Rooney won't even be 10th world best. As a striker, he's not among any credible site's top 5 best EPL striker of all time. As a midfielder, he's not among any credible site's top 10 EPL midfielder of all time. Give it up, Rooney sucks!! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 7:31am On May 26, 2015 |
elampiro: You are not ashamed that as at 2014, after 10years in Man Utd, Rooney as a STRIKER was behind Lampard as midfielder in number of goals involve and could only muster just 12 goals in one full season. Shame on Rooney!! Compare Ibrahimovic's goals with Lampard upon Lampard started the game before him and see how he dwarfs Lampard. That's how you know a striker!! |

sinizia:the END |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 7:35am On May 26, 2015 |
I hate all this arguments here, but to be honest I think we should let Rooney leave or make him play as second choice to a new striker...I'd prefer Chicharito to Rooney as things stand... For a new striker, a cheeky bid for Lewandowski might just be it... |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 7:39am On May 26, 2015 |
SailorXY: This Elampawa guy is shameless arguing this. Rooney is not among top 5 best EPL strikers of all time neither in the midfield area after 11 seasons and counting. I'm done arguing this Rooney ish, it's getting stale. The truth will keep haunting Elampawa and Rooney, that's all i will say on this issue. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:01am On May 26, 2015 |
sinizia: Are you a village kid? Lampard and Rooney played majorly in the number 10. In the hole. Lampard has played for 20 years. Rooney is second behind Alan Shearer as of today. Rooney is the best Attacking Midfielder of his generation. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nihilist: 8:02am On May 26, 2015 |
sinizia: The only person I can blame for this post is Coogar. No objective footy fan will name his EPL top 5 strikers and leave out Rooney. It's just not possible. I completely agree that Rooney is not the wrecking ball he once was, but you can't be superman forever. Someone said Rooney ONLY scored 170 EPL goals. ONLY? 3 Likes |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:05am On May 26, 2015 |
sinizia: Rooney is not a striker. He is an AM predominantly. Many of the things you wrote u there are illogical. Ronaldo earned higher than Rooney at Man United. Rooney was not bought as a striker, Kane is an out and out striker. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 8:07am On May 26, 2015 |
Nihilist: You misunderstood me. I mean Rooney will never make top 5 EPL striker of all time for any credible site. I'm not saying for this season only, i meant for all time since EPL inception in 1991 (i stand to be corrected). |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 8:08am On May 26, 2015 |
elampiro: Yeah, Rooney is a defender. is Ronaldo a striker? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:11am On May 26, 2015 |
sinizia: Ronaldo and Rooney are not strikers. Although they can operate as strikers. Rooney has been an AM for us, even Ferguson said this. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nihilist: 8:11am On May 26, 2015 |
sinizia: 3rd highest EPL scorer of ALL TIME won't make top 5 on any credible site? Rooney is only two goals away from being 2nd highest goal scorer in the EPL of all time, but he won't make top 5 strikers list in the league? What 'credible' sites are you reading? 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nihilist: 8:14am On May 26, 2015 |
170 goals in 340 league appearances is a goal every 2 games. A GOAL EVERY OTHER GAME...since 2004 Some of you fans are just ungrateful idiots. By all means, yes Rooney has declined. But to say he's overhyped? Overhyped? 3 Likes |
