coogar: abeg, comparing elampiro to me is not endearing. elampiro is a fantasist. we were all here when he said chicharito was poor this season even when records show chicharito copped less than 900 mins on the pitch. elampiro is not a united fan - he's fake!
What about you that said Rooney has 40 penalties, whereas he has 14. You that don't Giggs won 'Premier League 20 seasons best player award.' You that don't know Macheida Premier League goals to playing time could beat the best of players/strikers in EPL. Yet you erroneously use it as the only point you have for Berba, whereas Rooney has a million an one. You that don't know Rooney is only one of the few United players to have been on FIFA 11. And he virtually makes top 20 every year, he won 5th best.

I beg go and blog jare. Not surprised, bloggers are fake and liars. Carrying fake news and photoshopping pictures.

StarBoard: elampiro posts just to increase his post count.
elampiro started following United in 2010.
Look at this supposed fan of United who doesn't know Giggs is EPL ever best. See yourself.

Go to my nairaland profile, you will see what I have been posting about United since I joined nairaland in 2005. I have been a fan since 1995.

StarBoard: oga, give us at least one valid link to substantiate your claim about Giggs.
You think this is the newspaper stand where you can throw about any information and nobody will challenge it?
There are enlightened minds here.
One link please.
You see what following coogar has done to you? Follow follow. How can you claim to be a united or an Epl fan and not know this? See link below and google is your friend. Where were you last year. And in the award, Rooney won the best goal ever. Get the complete info here. Haba! Na wao. I gave u this link earlier.


▪ Dennis Bergkamp, Arsenal

▪ Eric Cantona, Leeds United, Manchester United

▪ Thierry Henry, Arsenal

You guys are just obsessed with arguments. Coogar will tell you Rooney scored 40 penalties and you will swallow it without questions or investigation. Whereas Rooney scored only 14. He will use statistic to claim Berba was better, whereas same statistic can be used to state Macheida had best goals per match ratio in some seasons. You guys have been so misled with dubious analysis and statistics. See the link dude or you google it. Shaking my head.

StarBoard: You're a muppet.
Where else would he be king?
The Emirates? Stamford Bridge?Anfield?White Hart Lane?
Since you are in charge of details, kindly enlighten me, or shut the hell up if you don't have anything to say.
Muppet. Insulting method? Hahahahahaha

I am not aware Rooney is from Old Trafford. He is a king in what he does on the field. Anyone who earns about a million pound a month (250 million naira) is a king at what he does. The current football world has only two kings above him in earnings.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 5:36pm On May 19, 2013
Valencia has done very well today. Another reason not to write off a player based on a one season low.
Giggs has a great final ball. Set up one for a goal. Chicha miss another of his intelligent pass. United need another like him.

coogar: elampiro is a troll!
he argues backwards without any deductive reasoning. he does not care the number of minutes a striker had spent because strikers who play have more drought than those who sit on the bench. grin cheesy

elampiro expects a striker that played one league match to score more goals/assists than another striker that played full 90 mins in 30 games. at least, 1025 knows he trolls but the biggest peeve of mine are ignoramuses who can't even see their own ignorance!
Insult again for giving you guys the information that Giggs was officially awarded Premier League best ever. EPL 20 years award had Cantona as a nominee, but Giggs won it. How would you guys know when you are obsessed with argument and irrelevant statistics?

I said Messi won world best, Coogar and his cohort said that implies Villa is world best. Lol LWKMD.

coogar: ronaldo was 18 when he came here, operated basically as a winger for 4 seasons. it wasn't until 2007/8 that he played as a wing forward. so using his stats in the early days to support your argument suggests i am right about your mental development. grin



buttner and evra are defenders. they have no business scoring goals. rooney and berba are forwards so compare like for like and stop dragging your name in the mud.

a player who plays more would have a period of drought? in contrast to one who sits on the bench without a chance of either scoring or assisting? apologies for overestimating your intelligence quotient! you are not mentally fit enough to engage me in a debate!
Ronaldo was just an example, you could replace him with Drogba, a top 9 and another greater score and you will get a worse outcome.

For your information, Berba and Rooney don't play same position. Berba and Chicha are 9, while Rooney is 10. Rooney is a supporting striker.

StarBoard: I did not manufacture the above.
You seriously risk your credibility with verbal about-turns like these.
I shudder to think that you view yourself as some kind of pundit with your half-baked untruths and conjectures.
You said Giggs was awarded the best player ever in the EPL.
Kindly provide me with the evidence,given that I might have been out of my senses when that "award"was given.

Seriously this elampiro guy is 1025 pretending to be a United fan. Yarning opaks left,right and center
I can't see what you where I mentioned Old Trafford in your highlighted. Please pay attention to details
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m):
coogar: you are a tool......
showing us the award of the best player in the premier league era is different from the best player in man utd in the premier league era. are you an illiterate?

giggs is not a king at man utd, maybe in your village!
This is an award for Premier League at 20. Giggs and Cantona played in the modern Premier League right? And Manchester United is only a part of EPL? Now where is your logic?


They said Lionel Messi is the best in the world. You guys said, oh that has to imply Villa is the best in Barca.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:52pm On May 19, 2013
coogar: your logic is a disgrace! grin



you are plumbing new depths of idiocy
rooney had 10,036 mins of football between 08/09 and 11/12 and berbatov had just 7,369 min. rooney had 2,667 more minutes than berbatov to generate his stats - 2667 mins is more than 29 league games - i repeat 29 more league games than berbatov!



this is the exact reason i said your 3 year-old brother has more intelligence than you do. so a difference of 29 league games should not be discounted when measuring performance levels of 2 different strikers? no wonder your pedigree as a united supporter is on facebook - a haven of serial wänkers and plebs like yourself.



no one cares about your itinerary - you can go chill with a monkey for all i care - berbatov beats rooney on every statistics available! rooney's 26 assists in 10,000 mins and berba's 20 assists in 7000 mins - only a lunatic would say rooney is better, a raving lunatic if i may add.
Your logic doesn't make sense. More time played equals more time without goals. Except if you are talking of a league where players score one goal per match. Hisory of EPL goals average for top players players is one goal in 3 matches. Even Ronaldo's average in 4 years for United can't be up to 75 goals in about 152 games which is one goal in two matches. So a player who plays more will have a longer period of drought.

Can you say Butner is now greater than Evra for having a much higher goal to time ratio?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:42pm On May 19, 2013
StarBoard: elampiro,
You're starting to sound like an annoying attention seeker.
For real.
If you think Giggs is truly the King,then you need help.
It's you that need help. How would you know when you are obsessed with arguments and irrelevant statistics that Coogar feed you with. It would have been more beneficial is you told Coogar to give you team and football news. But wait, it was you who even said you don't need news 'cos you already knew. See the official award below dude.

Manchester United's Ryan Giggs was voted as the Best Player. Giggs has played and scored in every Premier League season since its inception and won twelve championship medals, the most by a player. (Since then he won his thirteen championship medal)[11] Along with him, nine other players were short-listed for the panel of judges vote for Best Player, including four other players from Manchester United:[10]

▪ Dennis Bergkamp, Arsenal

▪ Eric Cantona, Leeds United, Manchester United

▪ Thierry Henry, Arsenal

▪ Roy Keane, Nottingham Forest, Manchester United

▪ Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United

▪ Paul Scholes, Manchester United

▪ Alan Shearer, Blackburn Rovers, Newcastle United

▪ Patrick Vieira, Arsenal, Manchester City

▪ Gianfranco Zola, Chelsea

coogar: elampiro does not know how to argue - blogging must be a new experience to him. who dares compare berbatov to rooney stats-wise?

then he goes with king rooney - rooney that was booed when he received his medal, he was booed again in the open-bus trophy parade. djemba-djemba is more loved at united than rooney....




this boy is a dullard - rooney had almost 3000 more minutes to get 6 extra assists. rooney gets the set-plays, berba doesn't. if we remove rooney's assists copped via set-plays, i doubt he has up to 15.



forget playing time? so a striker who has 3000 mins to play should get more goals than the one with 5800 mins to play? your deductive reasoning needs help from united nations. playing time is the key - a player cannot make assists or score goals on the bench



how many assists did berbatov cop in these seasons? you cannot put them because it destroys your argument, isn't it?



yet again, you left your common sense in the bedroom. the number of goals/assists in 4 years is meaningless if we don't know how many league minutes spent to get them. why are you so thick?

of course, penalties are counted as goals but when you have a striker using penalties to cover up even when his form is shyte then you have to separate goals gotten from open play from the ones gotten from set plays. you said rooney has scored from 14 penalties, berba in a red shirt scored from 2. is that a fair comparison?



headless chicken runs don't impress me..... why should a player so gifted like berbatov run with the ball. his first touch alone has done the 80% of the task.....whilst rooney's first touch takes the ball 20 yards away and he then pursues it!



your 3 year-old brother understands arithmetic more than you do. holyfield/tyson? this is more like a UFC fighter boxing a paraplegic who sits at home playing tekken!




whether rooney has scored 39 pens or 8 pens is irrelevant to the argument. fact is - berbatov still beats him hands down if you strip their goals down to open play goals per min. assists per minute tells you how ridiculously effective berbatov was for us.......in spite of the nonsense you read in the media.
Insult, insult and insult= dazed, dazed and dazed.

If Berba was so any good why should he be on the bench? If he played more time, his goal to time played would have dropped further on the ration.

Your argument is like saying Macheida is greater than Welbeck because he has more goals to match ratio. Or you try to argue that Butner goal to time played is higher than Evra's. It's pure illogical.
Just an instance. A player who plays more is simply more valued.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 4:18pm On May 19, 2013
StarBoard: elampiro,
Forgive me,
But Rooney comes nowhere near legendary status at OT.
Asking for two transfers within 2 1/2 years cannot endear you to the Stretford end faithful by any means.
Take montelik's advise and be quiet.
The only King at Old Trafford is Eric Cantona.
Unless you want to tell us you are a newbie when it comes to supporting Manchester United.

Meanwhile coogar is making a living poking holes in your logic.
Where did I say say Rooney is king of Old Tafford? Stop trying to distract me, I am more than that. Giggs is the best player in Premier League history, that is not debatable.

My logic. No! My logic is that Rooney is far the better player and greater in the game of fooball than Berbatov and Nistelrooy. I mentioned titles won, I mentioned, crucial goals in UCL knockout stage, I mentioned FIFA, Eufa and EPL ratings. I mentioned he would soon be the highest in all time goals.

It was Coogar logic to mention goals. He is only obsessed with statistics, yet they don't favour him.

Rooney beat Berba in goals scored in aggregate. Rooney is 197 in 9 seasons. Berba is 50+ in 4 seasons. When Coogar felt defeated he said Berba has more in percentage matches and minutes played. Again he was defeated. He said they should remove penalties. Where has that ever been done? Even on assists Rooney has more, yet he earlier argued it. When he is find out, he shift his goal post.

In the record books Rooney has more goals, also more assists in the time he played along Berba. Season by season analysis Rooney did better too. Rooney has been on 20 goals plus two seasons, Berba only one. How can a top 9 striker be scoring 9 goals in a season? He even scored 7 in a season? Who cares about minutes played, it's weak players that stay on the bench and given weak fixures to appear.

I wanted to go out. Now I stay at home to watch our match and respond here.

More field day for me. Lol

montelik: Okay, you are getting confused. Who mentioned Giggs or anything related to him.
Did you not say Cantona is the king of Old Trafford? I had to correct him.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:50pm On May 19, 2013
coogar: yes - you did! you said berbatov has never scored with his head with a defender to beat!



you have a problem with deductive reasoning.....
by your calculations - rooney has 22 EPL goals from open playin 09/10 season but he had 2,710 league minutes to score that. in 2011/12, rooney scored 21 EPL goals but he had 2,830 league minutes to complete that..

berbatov scored 21 EPL goals from open play in 2208 league minutes. even a kid of 3 years of age knows that berbatov was more productive by looking at those stats. you cannot compute effectiveness without putting the number of minutes taken to score the goals.

rooney(09/10) - 123 mins per goal
rooney(11/12) - 135 mins per goal
berbatov(10/11) 105 mins per goal




berbatov missed only one penalty for united in his career. rooney has missed how many? he has missed 9 alone in the league. who should be criticised more harshly? why did fergie take the baton from rooney and gave to van persie? because rooney is shyte!



how many minutes did it take rooney to cop 26 assists? how many minutes did it take berbatov? you have to remember rooney takes corners and indirect freekicks that have led to goals. berbatov did not take those in a red shirt and yet he has been more productive than rooney in making goals......




berbatov has 5 UCL goals in 4 years but how many european games did he start in those 4 years? how many minutes did he cop in those 4 years? rooney has 27 UCL goals(including about 7 penalties) in 9 years. how many starts did rooney get in that period and how many minutes? statistics should be computed per minute not the rëtarded way you are laying it out!



you know you have lost an argument when you compare okocha and JS park to berbatov on techniques? did okocha win a golden boot in england? did JS park?



if your aunty had tësticles, she would be your uncle. ronaldo has been in madrid for 4 seasons and he's not won a champions league. that's the fact! if, should have, would have, could have are just nonsense talks. the team ruud played in weren't even the standard galactico known to madrid. ronaldo is playing in the most expensive team ever assembled in the history of madrid and yet he cannot win the champs league - by your logic, ronaldo isn't a good player.....



berbatov - £31m
rooney - £26m
fergie valued berbatov more - paying that much for a 27-year old especially when united have the trinity of rooney + tevez + ronaldo in the team represents value'



who cares what he takes - all we are saying is he can fück off to a region where the sun don't shine! he's not bigger than united. he's useless and worthless!



i won't even dignify the above with a reply - this is nonsense. bottom line is i have been able to prove minus the set plays, berbatov is a far more productive striker than rooney on the pitch!
I am so happy. At least you cannot deny the facts I gave you to counter your 40 goals lie.

Also you denied that Rooney didn't have a greater number of assist. Now I countered it.

Forget about playing time and open play. A goal is a goal. Anyone that is good cannot be on the bench.

On your computation, why are you isolating one season for Berbatov? In 2008/9, he scored only 9 goals in 2542 minutes. 2010 he score only 12 from 2096 minutes, and in 2012 he scored 5 in 513 minutes.

2009
Rooney: 30 matches/2263 minutes 12 goals, 7 assist

Berba: 31 matches/2542 minutes 9 goals, 9 assist

2010
Rooney. 32/2723.... 26 goals,3 assists
Berba, 33/2096.... 12 goals, 5 assists
2011
Rooney. 28/2226..... 11 goals,11 assists
Berba, 33/2210......21 goals, 4 assists
2012
Rooney, 34/2838..... 27 goals, 5 assists
Berba, 12/513....... 7 goals, 0 assist

Also, the last time I checked, penalties are counted as goals in record books. Assists are also very important. So, Rooney has 102 goals + assist in four years.

Again, I never mentioned Berba can't use his head, except if nairaland censored my writing 'can't run with balls' to 'can't run with sphere'

Then you try to insult me by using a 3 year old as an example. Hahaha, I perfectly understand your levels now. Such is he case when one is frustrated. Like when Tyson resort to biting Hollyfield after defeat.

I gave you facts and sources to counter your claims about 40 penalties by Rooney whereas it was just 14. Your attempt to mislead people here has failed.

I really had a field day here today. Let me now go and crown it with Sunday evening outing. I will be here shortly again.

Don't derail the argument please.

If you knew your facts you will know Giggs is the best player in the history of Premier League. Giggs was officially given his award last year.

Yet, you guys will say I am the one running from pillar to post.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m):
coogar: because it takes more than a striker to win in europe. ronaldo is in madrid - what is stopping him from winning the champions league there even with mourinho? what has stopped mario gomez? benzema? etc. you ridicule yourself when you ask these questions.



everyone reading your posts would know you are a pathological liar. when you wake up tomorrow - get a computer and see the gifs i provided on this page to show berbatov's skills beating defenders with exquisite tekkers that rooney can only dream of!

i cannot even waste my time assessing your weak points. the stats are there for all to see - berbatov produces the goods more than rooney - he's the scorer of open play goals unlike rooney. rooney scored 9 league penalties last season. scored 8 league penalties in 09/10.



i am not even sure you argue with common sense. what has zidane, xavi and cannavaro gotta do with this? are they strikers? why is the world's best player the highest scorer of goals in the last 3-4 seasons? for a striker, the ability to score/make goals count!

there's nothing rooney can do better than berbatov - you said berbatov hasn't scored with his head before? 2 of his goals in his hatrick against liverpool were headers. you said berbatov cannot run past defenders - he had more dribbles than rooney at man utd!

you lie to make points - you must be lying for a living!



another lie is born - berbatov made more goals than rooney when they both played at united. berbatov's assists per minute is higher than rooney's in spite of rooney's constant taking of set plays(freekicks, corner kicks). berbatov doesn't take those!



category 5 hurricane indeed!
your math must be 2nd grade. i have tabulated their stats in the other page, berba wins hands down stats wise. even when you look at the tekkers both display on the pitch, berbatov still wins.....



you need to look at the international stats again. rooney, 35 goals in 81. berbatov has 48 in less than 80 games. if there's any hurricane, it's swallowed you completely leaving your carcass @ ebute meta!



rooney is worthless - he has not won the FA cup(another lie exposed) - he's won exactly what oshea has won in trophies! rooney is bleeding the club dry with his £200k per week and producing below average performances. chicharito outperforms rooney every season but the fat british hype continues to pull the wool over the eyes of fans like you. the champions league we won? rooney was substituted - he underperformed!



berbagod? he made the PFA team in his debut season for a lowly-rated spurs team in 06/07. a feat rooney did not manage in his debut season here. berbatov won the golden boot scoring 21 goals from open play - rooney is yet to win a golden boot for united in 8 seasons.

berbatov won 2 league titles, carling cup, community shield, etc. he made the PFA team again in 2011, he won the landmark award for a golden boot as the first striker to score 10 goals in 2010/11 and the first to score 20 in the same season - he did all this from scoring from open play. tevez the joint top scorer that season scored from 5 penalties to rack up his stats.

berbatov is god!
Coogar you keep calling me a liar yet you are the one stating lies.

1. I never said Berbatov can't use his head.

[b]2. You said Rooney scored 40 penalties for United.
See below for correct record. Even from United official website has information on it.

Rooney/United penalty record.

Rooney has taken 28 penalties in United's shirt and he has missed 9. He has only 14 Premier League goals from penalties.
2009/10 .... 4
2010/11.....3
2011/12..... 6
2012/13...... 1

Rooney's penalty scoring record. Goals. And assist since 2008.
http://scores.nbcsports.msnbc.com/epl/players.asp?player=16340
United has only had

Since 2005, United has had 53 EPL penalties and converted 38.

Contrary to your claim, In 2011/12 United had 11 penalties, two were missed and 9 scored. Rooney scored 6, Berbatov 2 and others 1. In 2009/10, Rooney only scored 4 penalties.

So if you removed Rooney's penalties, he will have 22 EPL goals in 2009/10 seasons, and 21 goals in 2011/12 which are still higher than Berbatov best ever season of 21.

Berbatov statistics.

EPL penalty statistics by clubs and seasons

http://www.myfootballfacts.com/Premier_League_Penalty_Statistics.html

Also, stop calling penalties cheap. If it was cheap, Berbatov should not have been so harshly criticized in his lazy miss Against Everton in FA cup semi final.

3. Assist

You also said I lied about assist, the links above on Rooney and Bebatov total shows that:

2008/9 - 2011/12
Rooney, 76 EPL goals (13 from penalties) Net is 53.
Assist is 26

Berbatov, 47 EPL goals (2 from penalties), net is 45.
Assist is 20

So, where did I lie? Nani had the highest EPL assist for 3 years aggregate prior to this season. Rooney was high too but can't remember the position.

4. On the issue of performing in the big games and vital matches.

Berbatov has only 5 champions league goals in 4 years for United. Rooney already got 3 on his debut. 5 UCL goals in 4 years is too poor for a number9 striker. How can you compare this to Rooney who has a high work rate and crucial goals in the tournament. Rooney has 27 in his 9 years in UCL, and 14 in the knockout stage.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/7990227.stm

Dimitar Berbatov’s penalty for Manchester United v Everton was “the worst penalty taken by an international footballer”

You may wish to refer to the video.

Though anyone can miss a penalty, some people just know when to rise to the occasion in crucial times. We have big games player. Men for big and crucial occasion.
[/b]
5. You said you provided highlights of Barbatov skills. I watched Berbatov, so I know his highlight. Even J.S. Park has some beautiful display of skills at some point in a match. Okocha for instance, has great foot work. But football is more than that.

6. As for the issue of Nistelrooy, you guys said he didn't have big signings playing with him in United. That was your excuse for his UCL failure and one EPL in 5 years. But he played along side expensive mates in Madrid, so what was his UCL achievements? At least Ronaldo has played 2 semi finals in 4 years. Mind you, if Ronaldo has converted his penalty against Bayern Munich, he should be more successful. So kudos to Rooney again who scores penalties to help the team through high hurdles.

7. Manchester United could have easily made around £55m in 2010, but united deemed it fit to retain him instead and also made him he 3rd highest paid. That is a man of caliber. Berbatov can never be worth as much as Rooney in the market. Never has it been, never will it be. The market determines the value of any product. Who will buy a 'fake' for a high amount when there is original? Does £30million market value resembles £4m?

8. Rooney taking a pay cut. That's not my argument or concern. Let the market forces play out.

9. Remember, there is what is called history book.

dademola: @elampiro; r u saying man utd shud persuade rooney to stay, or what?? @cooger; stop comparing rooney to berbatov. D nistelrooy comparism is still betta.if u wanna downgrade rooney, find some oda means. Comparing him to Berbatovhuh Ohh please!!
Yes, they should talk him to staying. I honestly believe we need him and he is vital to continuing the from where we are. As for the money, that can be negotiated. But I think he has only failed to live up o his standard this season. It is not enough to condemn him they way they do here.

coogar: rooney started taking penalties in 09/10 - after ronaldo left and he's taken about 40 for man utd since then.



your points hold no water, they are full of lies...,



another lie - berbatov has scored goals against all these teams either as a united player or spurs/fulham. he scored against chelsea 3-0 at old trafford.....scored against everton in the 3-3. scored hatrick against liverpool, etc. berbatov did not take penalties for united - if he did i doubt it's more than 2.



this is another stüpid myth generated by the media to fool amateurs. berbatov slowed down attacks and yet we have giggs, scholes, carrick, etc in the team. how fast are these ones in the grand scheme of things? faster than berbatov? grin



that's the same rooney that cannot control the ball - rooney has the first touch of a räpist. he lacks the basic training required of a footballer. he's fat, oily, lacks vision and he's just full of the english blood and thunder!



so this means rooney is important? where do you come from? whoever fergie decides to play is entirely fergie's prerogative - it has nothing to do with the importance or the non-importance of his players. rooney is english and there would be media pressure if fergie leaves him on the bench.



this is another contrived bullcrap. when the occasion is tough, rooney loses his head. he's the most unruly football player we have had ever. did he not swear to the camera that got him banned in the semis against city at wembley? his stüpidity has cost united many games - clapping in the referee's face in europe. acting like a goat against fulham, got sent off n missed the crucial game against villa when we had to rely on macheda to get us 3 points in the last minute. rooney is bad news - an overrated piece of shyte!



king rooney indeed -
berbatov scored 48 goals in 77 apps for his country - with inferior players who are not even recognised. king rooney with the brilliance of lampard/gerrard n co has a miserable 35 goals in 81 apps. berbatov is the better player at the club level and at national team level!



united bought berbatov for £31m at 27. they bought rooney for £25m as the hottest young player on the planet in 2004. in their respective peaks, berbatov was the costlier striker!



rooney played ahead of berbatov in 09/10, rooney was the arrow head and berbatov was the provider. in most games, berba was even deeper than valenicia. our route to most of the goals that season was - a diagonal pass from berbatov to valencia - valencia cross and rooney taps in.

mention 2 penalties that berbatov took in his time at united in the league. berbatov took penalties, when? berbatov is the provider - he had more league assists than rooney in 09/10. the only season berbatov played as the arrow head was when he won the golden boot.
I asked you what prevented Nistelrooy from helping Madrid into UCL glory, you went into hiding. Lol.

1. Rooney was given tough matches whenever SAF rotated his team. FACT.
2. Berbatov is slower than Giggs and Carrick. Even now in Fulham, go and judge his speed. He oftened slow our attack. I told you there abounds ball jogglers in the streets and stadia.
3. In four seasons, Berbatov has how many goals against he top teams? I mean for United.
4. How many UCL knockout goals does he have?
5. Rooney has 40 penalties? Give us season by season break down and how many he converted. Even when you deduct them, he is up there in high goals. Last season he scored 27 goals and 34 in all. Remove the penalties he converted and let's see.
6.What has swearing to the cameras got to do with performing and scoring in crucial games. I need the goals. He rises to big occasions. In Rome, Scholes was sent off in early minutes. Go and watch what Rooney did and his beautiful goal.
7. Rooney has the highest goals in EPL over 5 years. Nani and Rooney are among the highest in assist.
8. Rooney is swift in controlling the ball, this has led to his fast paced counter of opponents. You need a good first touch to control the ball for a counter.
9. I never saw Berbatov run past a defender and head o the goalkeeper, yet you claim he is fast. Someone who often reverses backwards once there is a defender on his way.

I told you before, that considering Rooney is 4th in all time United highest scorers, is such a bonus considering his work rate. I am not even using his goals as a means to rate him. A good follower of he game look at the whole input and work rate. If it was by goals, Welbeck wouldn't have had more matches than Hernadez. Maradonna and Zidane wouldn't have been so great because they weren't the highest scorers in their teams. Cannavaro wouldn't have won best player in a world cup. If it were by goals too, Iniester won't get rated higher over David Villa by Fifa and EUFA. Xavi Hernadez won't even be making top 5 in FIFA ranking.

But there is what is called a build up to attack. Virtually every build up to attack by United has Rooney's signature in it. He does not only participate actively, he dictates them. Don't forget, he is the one who does it best in big games. His kind are rare in the world. In Europe, he has scored against Barca, Bayern, AC Milan, Roma, etc. The best in Spain, Italy and Germany in knockout stages. When you watch the matches, you will see his high level of performance, not just the goals.

The good thing about arguing for Rooney, is that facts and statistics support him. His performance cannot be denied and history books and laurels are his witness.

These I have been bringing to the fore here, and they hit you hard like a categorical 5 hurricane. Lol

Coogar, kpele. I can imagine how bad this category 5 hurricane Rooney must have bruised you. When you are face with the truth, it can never be denied, it takes you to reality.

Coogar, you know who Rooney is. You know his worth in the market. You know after 8 years he has won a lot for United, won PFA best, won UCL, won FA cup and carling cups. He has won man of the match a countless time. He has made PFA best 11 a countless time. He has made FIFA top 20 list a countless time. He has EPL best goal ever. And if sold after 8 years of high productivity, he has a much profitable return.

Now, how many times has your Berbaov made EUFA or FIFA top 20 list? What about PFA? What did he return to United? What is his market worth? Even old man Giggs should worth more.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m):
coogar: how old was rooney then? who cares? the number of penalties rooney takes his first 4 seasons would skew the stats towards his favour. berbatov is an open play goalscorer.......

rooney scores loads of penalties and he's now had a longer time to bond better with team-mates unlike berbatov who had a mere 4 seasons and spent 3,000 less minutes than rooney in the same 4-season-period!

https://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b387/nikta-q8/Berbatov.gif

boy, see first touch!!!!!
When did Rooney start taking penalties for Man United? Nistelrooy and Ronaldo took our penalties.

I didn't want to say anything about this issue again because the points I have given are enough for any one giving objective judgment to know the truth.

It is surprising you are still trying to compare Berba with Rooney. It makes a little sense when Nistelrooy is used in the comparison, certainly not Berbatov. For your information, Berbatov also took penalties. Berbaov is a lazy, small game player. Very slow. He has no stat against Chelsea, Arsenal, Man city, Everton. His goals were against small teams. He often slowed the attack. How many goals did he score in Champions league knockout stage? Anytime SAF rotated team, Rooney was rested from small games. Hence, his goals should have by far be more. It terms of ball possession, passes and coordinating the game, counter attack, Rooney does it faster and with greater flair more than anyone, not just Berbatov. Even in Europe, he is high up there in those qualities.

In switching play from one side to another, Scholes is the only one who can do it better than Rooney, yet Rooney does it faster. And Rooney does it best in the opponents area. Even in games, Rooney is usually more marked.

Let me give you some instances you will understand Rooney's importance: When United when away to play Roma in UCL knock out stage, everywhere was tensed. Then Rooney got a goal and played a vital role in the 2-0 win, then the return leg, Tevez played instead because United needed to consolidate the league position in the run in. Rooney and Ronaldo were rested at Old Trafford.

Also was the knockout against Schalke 04, after 2-0 away win, Rooney was rested for a crucial league match. Then Berbaov was played in the home game. When the occasion is tough, tensed and crucial Rooney knows how to play.

I have already said enough about King Rooney, and every objective United followers knows the truth. 14 crucial goals in UCL knock out stage, against tough oppositions in tensed fixtures is not a joke.

Put Rooney in the market and see the price.

In 2012, Berbaov's worth is £4m. After only 4 years. -Bad market.
In 2013 Rooney is estimated to worth £30-£40m, after 8 years with many laurels. WOW! -Massive biz success.

Finally, I told you Rooney is a supportive striker, and he works more for the team in the midfield even more than the midfield players, yet from the position and all the build up work, he has score 26 and 27 respectively. Even if you were to remove the penalties (even though he won a lot of them in the first instance) he is still high there. You may also remove Nistelrooy and Berba penalties. But these are even trivial issues.

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Anders Lindegaard will start his final game as Manchester United manager, and Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand will be on the bench.

Lindegaard will replace David de Gea between the posts, while Jonny Evans and Phil Jones will play at centre-half, leaving a place at right-back to be filled due to Rafael's suspension. Wayne Rooney may not feature.

Ashley Young, Chris Smalling and Nick Powell are all out injured.

FACTS:
West Brom have never beaten United in the Premier League. United have won 11 and the Baggies have two draws.

The last time United lost to West Brom was a 2-0 defeat at The Hawthorns in March 1984.

The highest-scoring­ match between the clubs came in April 1968, when West Brom edged a 6-3 win just a month before United became European champions for the first time.

This is Sir Alex Ferguson's 1,500th and final match as Manchester United manager (W895, D337, L267)

Ryan Giggs has featured in 77% of Manchester United's 809 Premier League games.

If Jonny Evans plays it means that in every 1 of Sir Alex 1500 games featured a player from Uniteds youth setup!

Sir Alex Ferguson is content to leave the problem of what to do about Wayne Rooney to new manager David Moyes.

Ferguson revealed last week the request had been turned down, and, along with Gary Neville, advised Rooney to get away during the summer, get his head sorted out and return refreshed.

Ferguson acknowledged: "I'm no longer interested in that. Quite rightly, David is going to deal with it. I am happy with that. The priority is the football team.

I have not spoken to David about Wayne, I'm sure he will address it when he gets here. I have no idea why Wayne wants to leave, it is not my department. I am no longer interested in that.

"David is going to deal with that and, quite rightly, he wants to deal with it." <Spurce: London Standard, Skysports>

Sir Alex Ferguson on Mancini sacking :
" It is quite amazing. He has won the FA Cup, went to the final, came second in the league, also won the PL League once. And its still not enough ?. "

coogar: stam? he had a total of 1 league appearance and 2 appearances in the whole season on ruud's debut. do you actually follow man utd?? silvestre? phil neville? who are those? at their best, they are not better than buttner.

ruud won the league in his 2nd season at united(02/03), reached the semis of the champions league that season. lost on goals difference to leverkusen.

rio got suspended in 2004. united were 5 points ahead of the arsenal invincibles as at then. fergie refused to buy a replacement n united's season went to the dogs from then on.

every team needs a good keeper to win trophies - roy caroll and tim howard were too short of quality to carry us. howard's mistake got mourinho's porto the win against us in 03/04. we got the FA cup, ruud scored in the final!

ruud was injured for most parts in 04/05 to do anything and the team had gone worse by then. ageing players, more mediocre signings and it was a goalie mistake that cost us against milan as we lost at old trafford.
Who is Sylvester, who is Phil? I have told you every squad has average and great players, so also injured and aged players. Just like this season, someone can come in 5 years and ask who was Jones, Cleverly, Smalling, Young, Valencia and Anderson. And it can be said Nani didn't have games, Scholes Ferdinand and Giggs were old, Vidic was injured. Then they had a young keeper. But with all the shortcomings the team won the title.
The squad that won this year had lots of shortcoming in many department but they won. So stop giving excuses for Nistelrooy.

I asked a question earlier, what excuse do you guys have for Nistelrooy also failing to help Madrid to champions league greatness? Did he also had team mates their market price were poor (weak team mates).? I want to hear the excuse you have for his failure to lift Madrid in UCL big games?

Rooney has won 1 UCL which Nistelrooy can never have again. He also played two other finals and semi finals. That is a winner. A big game player. He is King Rooney.

United history books has Rooney written all over it from 1st page.
