Really?
But we thought so of our plodding buffalo when he scored against Arsenal at 16 years and took the Euro 2004 by storm

Exactly! We thought he was, but recent revelations have proved otherwise.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo wan enter another gear at 30yrs.

Don't get me wrong oo, I want the pregnant Rhino hulled off to mumbai for all I care.

StarBoard:
Not buying it.
Ronaldo started at 16 at Sporting. Moved to United at 18. He is 8 months older than Rooney but doesn't appear to be in decline.

Ronaldo and Messi are freaks of Nature!

@ Raumdeuter

I Read your reply again!

When I said molest I wasn't talking about buying players from competition I was talking about Bayern's win rate against other teams in the Bleague because of the lack of proper competition.

raumdeuter:
If I ask you to support your claim now you would run away

Bayerns last game only 2 out of 11 players were from other Bundesliga sides (Neuer and Lewandoski).

Man Utd last game Jones, Valencia, Smalling, Rooney, Mata and Schneiderlin were from other EPL sides making it 6 out of 11

On the bench you had , Carrick, Fellaini who were from other EPL sides too plus Young and Shaw who are injured

So who between Man Utd and Bayern molest their league for players

I should support what everyone sees every season. Go and ask anceloti why he is not considering coaching Bayern?

And I don't understand your reply about certain players of certain nationalities playing for a club. Bayern's exploits in europe shows that they are consistently fantastic team because they hold their own when they are in the CL. But in the burnthisleague down they overrun everybody with a little bump here and there that really does not matter at the end of the day.

I don't have time to go back and forth with arguments but in the prem that u so much like to draw analogies whenever the stature of the Bleague is questioned, there frequent surprises where supposedly lower teams surprise the traditional top teams, but because it happens to all the top teams it kinda cancels out the advantage team A would have enjoyed from the loss of team B, considering that both team A & B are top teams.

In the Bleague its not like that. Bayern ends up losing a few games which makes no diff because they usually have a 10points gap when they win the league.

i was nearly stabbed here over the weekend when i called him a fraud.

When you called him a fraud it sounded like he had been a fraud all his career in United. We wanted to separate what he serves now with his exceptional service to United in previous years before this shameful displays in recent years. I guess Moyes and Woodward where still high on osogbo Vodka when they agreed to the ridiculous pay for him.

If there is bounty on Rooney right now I would get on the job ASAP, some are ready to do it for free sef.

I see Rooney in our lineup these days and get so irritated.


Patrickmuf, happy Birthday!

I think we should consider what someone said on this both. Let hold night Vigil with serious praise and worship and pawaful prayer sessions for Rooney to grow a conscience.

LVG will also need some of the prayers!

elampiro:
Leave all these tales by moonlight from your dream. Jones was very calm, collective, tidy today. He even had the highest pass accuracy behind Valencia. Always a good interceptor of the ball. He anticipated threats and delt with them decisively.

Plenty people dey support your observation say Jones did well today u no go use your normal YOU ALL DON'T know how to watch ball mantra now. Abi u go soon talk say leyqute opinion na everybody own.


I agree with all you said about jones today sha.

On a serious note LVG has a problem ooo, if Rooney must play, must it be upfron or 90mins? This same Rooney has played on the wings for United before why didn't el Jefe try him there today.

Martial could have caused problems for the City defence today.


Can't still wrap my head around playing Martial on the wings while we have a Rooney who is obviously really not suiyed for a top striker position now. He has had enough chances to turn things around, yet Nothing!

Its painment!

elampiro:
Jones was rated highest on our side.

Smalling and Jones are our best CB pairing. The earlier we allow them to develop the better. They have not lost a game together since last season.

I totally agree with you.

Do u also agree Rooney's best position is on the bench?

chamotex:
Rooney benched yet?

Na yam?

Pataki:
It is a pity Arsenal cannot molest other teams for players like Bayern does in that burnthisleaguedown.

Burnthisleaguedown is like a whorehouse where bayern(customer) goes to pick any b!tch(team) to molest at will.

Pataki:
Sell Martial to us!

Ole! Thief! Jankoriko.

sinizia:
When I was saying that Val needs Darmian, y'all thought otherwise.

Who be y'all? You don dey generalise like elampawa now.

I won't even mind Martial playing as a 2nd striker. He seems to know what to do with ball at his feet.

Less said about Rooney the better.

Valencia needs help.

LVG is an idiot for playing Martial on the wings and not as a striker.

The guy is wasting on the wings. If he beats a man as a striker he is thru on goal, he can also cause freekicks and inside d box would get us penalties.

Na who give Rooney injury for head? The person shud try harder abeg.

sinizia:
Man United keeping the momentum, pressurizing Citeh with Mata cutting in from the wing looking to carve Citeh wide open.

Na to score and win be the koko oo.

Dadehmola:
The "track back" issue don tire me...

This is 2015 - operation "track-back-the-deadly-winger" has been jettisoned by virtually all top clubs across Europe.

Biko, The attacking qualities of our front men should always take precedence over whatever defensive shifts they are capable of putting in.

Na Moanrinho start to dey emphasize that nonsense trackback sh!t. Strikers that should be mainly concerned with scoring are being assessed based on tracking back as if the essence of the is preventing the opponents from scoring.


Barca that we all agree have defensive issues are known and feared because of their ability to outscore their opponents most of the time regardless of how many they concede.

Defence is important but scoring is the name of the game.

funlord:


Our only hope is if he can use that "sailor xy's" selection as it is on this page! We should just stick to the same unchanged side that walloped everton! We really need these 3 points because arsenal just wan dey use style dey increase the distance between them and the rest of the chasing pack!

Rooney( impossicant sha), Fellaini, valencia, blind, carrick and depay should all remain on the BENCH!

Sailors lineup is fair but we know the tinkerman philosopher will play Rooney and play him upfront while Martial goes wide.

He might even decide to play Blind in the back today. Na God go save us.

funlord:


I don tire 2 laff! God forbid!


Moyes currently has a better title defence record than Moanrinho:


Defending Premier League champions after
10 games:

Moyes at Man Utd: 17 points

Mourinho at Chelsea: 11 points


MOY>RINHO!

Moyes is the ONLY solution for Chelsea right now.




As the match today! I don't even know what to expect with el jefe, his philosophy, selection and almighty Rooney. We would be making a big statement winning this game.

JayKayMaybachz:
Defending PL champions after 10 games:

Moyes at #mufc: 17 points
Mourinho at #cfc: 11 points

Even Moyes is shocked!

Moyes should replace Mourinho ASAP

MrTA:
Happy birthday to Rooney. Will always be remembered as a great player for man utd provided he hurrys up and makes his move to the MLS asap.

I don forget say today na him Bday sef!

Happy birthday Rooney. Try score the winning goal 2mrw make you shut us up for a while.

A DOUBLE overhead goal would do (if u know what I mean)

funlord:


His "RECENT FORM" as you mildly put it has been going on for close to 3 years!

Yes, since 3yrs. In my earlier post I said he had started declining since 2012 only it is getting worse now especially as Moyes and Woodward colluded to give him that retirement salary while still playing. Playing rubbish for that matter.

coogar:
fraud
frɔːd/
(noun)

wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.

biko, what else can we call a player that takes £300k/week and yet plays like a nigerian league division 3 striker?

rooney has falsely represented himself as an elite striker & yet he's nowhere near what his salary dictates he should be.

nor be fraud be that?

Guy calm down!

Even Rooney did not expect that his present disgraceful performances will linger this long. We might have seen that Rooney was declining why did those that agreed the deal not see it. If Moyes, Rooney and his agent were pushing for a 300k per wk wages for Rooney, woodward and the management should have refused.

If rooney is a fraud, woodward and the rest management are otondos.


We are talking about Rooneys recent form juxtaposed with his performances on the field, I agree its a wankfest.

coogar:
i cannot use those values to judge. they are misleading. until you show me the number of minutes played, the number of games played is useless. i have already showed you guys giggs played more games than lampard but lampard played more minutes than giggs. only amateurs use goals/games ratio to analyse players. i could play 5 games but spent only 20 mins on the pitch, you could play one game & spend 90 mins on the pitch.



rooney doesn't have a good goals record & the position he plays have nothing to do with his mediocre goalscoring ability. we have seen mata & martial score several goals in the PL this season without playing up top.

is ronaldo a centre forward? has messi consistently played as a centre forward? where have you ever seen them make excuses that their withdrawn position is the reason they don't score plenty of goals? a mediocre player is a mediocre player, abeg!



give us the number of minutes shearer played. the number of games is misleading.



rooney is a fraud!
and gimme a minute to expose this fraud this morning.....take your time & follow rooney's program of mediocrity aided by his country's media houses.

•plays as a #9 for 5 matches without contributing anything.

media: "we think his best position is no.10".

•plays 5 matches as a #10 without contributing.

media: "we would like to see him get a run of games as a #9."

•plays another 4 matches as a #9 before he finally scores.

media: "rooney proves his critics wrong. this shows he's still a world class player."

•next 2 matches he's back to his usual piss-poor "retirement-worthy" level.

media: "rooney has lost a bit of pace, but he can still deliver those fantastic passes in a midfield role."

•rooney ends up being our worst player after a few games in midfield.

media: "rooney is constantly being played out of position."

•rooney goes on a long drought without scoring. he ran at a pace of 0.25mph but he works his socks off!

media: "no matter where you play him, he will still work his socks off. he's still essential to the team."

•rooney is back in a striker role, but he still continues to underperform week in week out.

media: "rooney gets no service. on top of that, we need more english players around him as he can't understand those foreign players."

rinse & repeat!!!!
_________________________

Hahahaha! Rooney don suffer.

But I totally agree with you. Its never Rooney's fault, there has to be reason Rooney did not perform well and when he eventually manages to do something tangible like scoring a rare goal, he is praised to high heavens.

I do not subscribe to Rooney being a fraud, but his recent form makes it hard for me to dispute that.

Rooney being a fraud should have absolutely nothing to do with his efforts and contributions to United before his recent decline since around 2012.

Mystic1:
Its even becoming funny.

Funny ke. The guy don dey cry and tears are refusing to slide down his heavily bruised face.

Pataki:
My guy, you needed to have seen my reaction immediately I came out from the plane and logged on to the internet to check the score.

Na una turn tonight. Make una no mess-up!

I can imagine the smile, ear to ear


Winning was sweet, it being against bayansh must have been sweeter.


CSKA is going down!

Na LvG and Rooney I dey beg.

Pataki:
My Arsenal peeps, I have missed una all oh!

Even the Wenger-bashing dolts are here smiling after we defeated Bayern. Na wa oh!

Even with Arsenal not buying A SINGLE outfield field, we defeated the best team in Europe inside our own Home of Football.

See as u just dey open teeth since yesterday!

These shekpe retaardedd dingbats are just mentally stvpid to say the least.

U come persin house come look for trouble, you are getting flogged right left and center and then go call mods.

Shame has got nothing on them!

coogar:
obviously, rooney is the elephant in the room. it's a travesty that herrera, mata & schneiderlin aren't starters week in week out. moyes' disgraceful contract is the cause of this but then there's nothing we can do unless we pray he gets flattened by mangala next week.

The one that even annoys me the most is that when Herrera plays you are kinda guaranteed he will get a goal or an assist or both 90% of the time. To now bench that player for a Rooney who would show up in a game avaragely 2 outta 10 times is just ridiculous to say the least.

And even if LVG must play Rooney, Must he play 90mins?

As for schneiderlin I hope LVG realised he goofed by not playing him against Arsenal, we might have still lost that game it won't have been that bad in that first 20mins and probably not 3-0 scoreline.

We are 3rd on the table with same points with 2nd so its hard to really criticize LVG.

MrTA:
On a more serious note. Anyone worried about how Herrera will stay in the team? I dont favour Martial playing on the left just so Herrera can start. I wonder what else LvG would do.

Rooney is the one causing this conundrum because according to LVG his captain must play, even when he is serving shyte 85% of the time.

Schneiderlin, Herrera and Mata should be starting every game IMO. They should be in our first 11.

larride:
Hazard has won more individual honours than the entire Man Utd squad

Issokay.

The guy needs to be pummelled into the ground with a baseball bat and it would serve as a grave for him for that tripe!

Mourinholic:
I just saw it when guys started quoting it....I normally don't read those long essays....
Trust Airmark to fire hard when he comes online

Oh so now you agree he was EVISCERATEDLY DISINTEGRATED.



Yes we know he will be back without shame but with brand new clutches you just ordered for him.

coogar:
why would the staff join the panel? why are they in any panel if their votes carry the same weight as the masses? nihilist - your assertion that united fans swayed the votes to give martial the win is wrong!!!

140,000 barclays staff cannot be a football fan. if anything, united are even the most hated club in the UK. 90% of football fans can't stand united because of the long term success. so you are still grasping at straws.

when smalling didn't win it in august, there was no outcry of bias - now that united's martial won it then the public must have influenced it for a united player to win it.

You are a very wicked person oo.

Some people are claiming they can't see how their fellow airheads were, as was said, DISINTEGRATED.
