Wayne Rooney, as one of the most famous men in
the planet, has already, inevitably, been appraised
accurately somewhere. But the problem is, he plays for one of the most famous club teams in the world, and plays for one of the most historically important national teams in the world, and he captains them both. So he is always open to criticism!

As well as that, he was once the most exciting
young English player in decades, and didn’t look
out of place when compared to players from
other countries @ his peak. His excellent performances lasted longer than for any great English soccer hope in the last few decades. As good as Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand, and Ashley Cole were and also have claims to also be considered quite influential on the field, none were as thrilling as the young Rooney.

From 2012, though, it all started to become a little
prosaic. The speed went, the 1st touch went, the pace went, the power went, the
explosiveness went, the creativity went, the
passing went, and finally the finishing went. The
highlights became dulled, irregular and infrequent,
and life for Rooney seemed to be a plod that he
resented and also failed to understand. On the
pitch that is.

Off the pitch, he seems far more content than before, years after his first transfer request, and years after his second disputed transfer request. But on the pitch his decline has persisted. Why has this happened?

There have been a few suggestions. The first suggested problem was his approach to his diet and lifestyle. He has been pictured smoking. He has been pictured drinking. He has been regularly pictured smoking and drinking. He has incurred internal suspensions @ united for going out on the town when he should have been in bed or training. He even once returned from holiday with an injury overweight and out of shape. This has curtailed his ability, it is said. His body has aged ahead of its time due to his neglect, and the impressive physicality, speed, strength and acceleration has faded noticeably. That could be one problem.

A consequence that has lead to his goal creation rates plummeting! Rooney’s game has never been about simply
scoring. He’s played across the forward line for
Manchester United: out wide, up top, as a
withdrawn Number 10 and even as a holding
midfielder. Wherever he’s found himself,
however, Rooney has influenced the game,
either through assists or hitting the back of
the net himself. Rooney’s goal creation rate - the number of goals scored or assisted per 90 minutes played was remarkably consistent until last year,
hovering around one goal scored or assisted
every 90-or-so minutes played for 5 straight seasons. Both Rooney’s shots per game and key passes per game have nose-dived dramatically since the end of 2013-14.



The next suggestion is that he’d been overplayed. Rooney has suffered the strains of a career without a winter break. In the Premier League, with its extra physicality, And in a team that relied upon him more each season as the quality around him diminished, and the chances to rest him became far less obvious.

The fact remains that only 4 current EPL players have made more Premier League appearances than Wayne Rooney. While he may still be just shy of his 30th birthday, Rooney has already played a career’s worth of football. He made his Premier League debut as a 16-year-old for Everton back in 2002 and hasn’t made fewer than 37 appearances per season (in all competitions) since. Just look at the age and position of the other currently active EPL players who’ve made the most Premier League appearances: they’re all in their mid-to-late 30s, way past their prime (with the arguable exception of Michael Carrick) and are either defenders or defensive midfielders who've never relied on pace as part of their game. And Wazza's only just behind
them.

With no rest and plenty of action, and the occasional muscle injury, his body has started to let him down. He can no longer play as he did, because he no longer has the natural fitness levels, stamina or strength he once did.

The third suggestion is a lack of hunger. He earns $460,000 a week when all bonuses are activated. He is rumored to have a say in transfer activity at United, and his influence is obvious in the dressing room, where he is a popular man. He has won every trophy in England except the FA Cup. He has seen off Shinji Kagawa, Dimitar Berbatov, Robin van Persie, and Radamel Falcao. Perhaps, there’s no more fire because he knows there’s no more for him to do. He is on a hugely generous contract that he can be sure will be replaced by an equally fancy contract in the Middle East or America. He has his children and a wife and a secure future. Perhaps he doesn’t need soccer like he once did. There is no anger anymore hence his complacency!.......Andi thomas!


Valid or vapid points?

n0m0705:
I just couldn't help but notice the cult-like action I am seeing here whereby there is gang up against some people while whatever some people says is regarded as the gospel truth. I am very sure that if coogar wakes up tomorrow and proclaim rooney as the best, 90% of the people here will change their mind and agree with him. While almost everyone sees whatever elampiro says as opata and are so eager to Insult him. Maybe it's because coogar has a toxic tongue. Imagine those those guys insulting elampiro over his observation on wednesday match even when he was quoting respectable sport site, yet people are still falling in line to support those guys. SMH

My nigga how you dey? Learn not to generalise in life, it would ensure that you never miss good opportunities to learn or attain clarity about certain situations in life!

As for your point regarding coogar and elampiros argument in relation to rooney! I don't personally feel he is a fraud but a once great player that has now declined badly! Whose fault? His own! 100%

Well I currently don't know which team you support or what position you play in football, but anyone that thinks that rooneys current displays for man united are not the kind that both rooney himself, his family and the fans should be ashamed of? Either does not know anything about football or is just being sentimental! Rooney has been TERRIBLE all season! Hala me if you want us to chop it up so that you can get other peoples views on the matter! Leave the stats @ home sha!

Rooney is going thru a sort of "footballing menopause"! He's currently the most uninspiring captain in world football! Its a travesty that he keeps getting games! Great player? Yes! Legend? Yes, but NOT CURRENTLY!

Quote me anywhere!

This why you will remain wack... You are wack... Emaprince was telling you that diplomatically and ushered ways you can redeem yourself. Instead of thank you, your defending.

But how come you are dope but still extremely broke? _fuck off and die you tool!

Am I the only man united fan worried about city on sunday? De bruyne na wa oh?

Funniest headline of the day! But if true? Who really stands a chance of grabbing him?

"Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester
City are all attempting to acquire the
services of Barcelona's Lionel Messi...The Sun/Sky sports!!!"

Adidas Releases New Man Utd stretford trainers. The colours tho.

This sneaks look strange! Abeg make nike come back!

Emaprince:
Keep writing, funlord. Once you up your rhymes to multies and add a lil bit of creativity to it, you are a demon. I love your wild imaginations and the anger smouldering in your writtens.

Lol! Thanks prince! But I've paid my dues as far as hip hop/rap Is concerned! Some of my homies made it big in the naija game but a lot are still in the underground so some things from both worlds rubbed off 4 sure!

I do creative writing as a side hustle atimes so sometimes I use hip hop situations to deal with writers block or to inspire thought! Business Is good so I'm not trying to improve nada oh! Na high cause am! Lol....

The FCT Marijuana Chronicles; friday morning...


"After smoking mad kush, I usually glance at the purple strains, @ about the same time the cerebral intercourse begins in my brain!

Daily in order 2 maintain, I need 2 consistently hit my mary jane, She keeps it realer than family and also dims my grustling pains


Gets my eyes chinky like martial law's and gets me feeling regal, so i hit her day or night even though it aint legal


Add the henny to the equation and what does that equal? Dope rhymes, hot sex and lots of non-lethal people!

Who sit, laugh and loaf while the chronic gets burnt,
Discussing beats,rhymes and life and what else can be learnt!

Breaking out the candy only when the munchies hit,
No stress, violence or b.s so my life has 2 be the _shit


Consider my rhymes 2 be like the type of joint that helps you see my point, Or the kind of blunt that causes you to pull traffic stunts


But sometimes I just need to be alone to enjoy my crop, While maintaining my steady ascent straight to the top!!!"



Shout out to "Mark 1" the dealer!...warri smoke has always been a problem!!!

parrotibaba:
bro if na SAF dey handle the boy, I for no talk wetin I talk. El jefe get no chill at all. See as he take sell Saido Janko ,Kagawa ,Welbeck, Andow etc after their horrendous showing against MK Dons so I won't be shocked Depay is sold next summer. Already he don de get the Di maria treatment.

Make depay just tell that "Karauche tran biatch" say make she dey free am during the week and make she dey only bring SK come house on sundays! Or else make van gaal hala "chris brown" to come flow with memphis small! Lol....

parrotibaba:
E be like say you no hear wetin el jefe talk about that matter, about how some peeps who do not fit in his philosophy are sold E.G Di maria.

You know say na small thing dey pain "EL JEFFE" right from time dats why him dey sabi rake unnecessarily for homies! But in this case there wil surely be justice tempered with mercy for depay! After all even the big boys for the team sef never sabi which philosophy dis man dey always cry about! Abi na dat "crouching tortoise" side 2 side passing be the philosophy?

Make them allow the boy excise some of him demons! I remember a certain CR7 also dulling with step overs and wack crossing sometime around 2003/2004! With a little patience from the club added to cr7's commitment, by 2007 you sef sabi wetin happen from dat time na?

parrotibaba:
yeah, the boy is feeling like he don arrive, n we foolishly gave him the number 7 Jersey to further boost his ego. He thinks he will just walk into the EPL n dribble his way to success, the same sh!t happened to Di Maria,(he thought chicken runs will mk him the next best thing after fried rice) and look what happened. He should just reset his football now that there is time else LVG will sell him next year.

Nah! LVG won't sell depay like that! The element of youth will play a part in elongating his chances for redemption! Prem league no be beans and depay has been quite immature in his approach to his new levels over these past 4 months! @ his age its not suprising he is on "party, karauche tran and bullshite" mode rather than training and learning mode! Hammer no easy to control for some peeps and remember this nigga is from a damaged home too! We were all 21 once so we should give him @ least till seasons end to see how far!

And don't forget "van nistelrooy and luis suarez" came out of that same "dutch league" oh? Na patient dog levels good for depay! Before we POGBA up again! Lol

Pataki:
LOL. Jesu sunkun walai! And someone labored to call this one his own child? Ekun abiyamó!

You see your life in 4Dx?! When I said you struggle too hard to feel among, you just had to prove me right again. Is this all you have got? Not impressed one bit.

When you are tired of your own stewpeedity, you will logout and go face your daily life frustrations. There is more to life than trying to feel you are a keyboard warrior on a faceless board. You have a lot to learn son.

Erm economic migrant....your skills in vernacular may impress those local skanks you chill with in your village whenever you take your annual break from your career in _fucktard studies and dish washing in holland in order to come and bubble and shuffle in naija but they won't fly with me since I don't speak your local brand of ape gibberish!

I'm not suprised that answering my query was hard for you! The TRUTH IS ALWAYS BITTER and I'm sure you noticed most of the aforementioned witnesses viewing! Anyway I am done with you for now! Interacting with you seems to be giving my soul cancer symptoms and I want mine to remain healthy! Make a mental note of the advice below! It relates to everything about your moniker as far as I'm concerned! Billy Goat!

Pataki:
LOL! You still haven't learned your lesson. At least you are not starting your comment with that foolish emoticon smiley that depicts the insanity raging in your gutter skull. You will get schooled severely should you choose to keep on this path of your monotonous boring stewpeedity. I am the cyber-cure for deluded nitwits of your ilk.

How did you expose me? See me see this rodent feeling fly. You remind me of that Greek goat, I came across last week who foolishly thinks it is the best thing on this island.

You are trying too hard to feel among. I can almost feel your keyboard frustration. What do you know about football other than quoting (copy and paste) SkyNews and wikipedia and posting it here. You wear stewpeedity with the most graceful aplomb! What a glorious gerbil you truly are.

See the emoji! Are you now pained? Oya go behind your house and start smooching your transformer!
Your posts are exactly always like those of an experienced _idiot! Full of sound and fury but signifying nothing! Empty and vapid rants that excite you and you alone! I'm sure you had a lot of parental issues when you were still a growing simian! You seem to be a naturally unhappy ape!

So what is wrong with copying and pasting news from sky sports/goal.com/uefa/ you tube/ wikipideia etc when trying to bring breaking news, justify team selection or to make a point to _morons like you? You must be studying a "masters in _stupidity course" over there in the netherlands!

Or is my brain an Ipad? My knowledge is definitely more vast as regards man uniteds trivia than those of other clubs so why should I not consult a clubs website when trying to prove to their gay or bus parking fans that their logic is wrong? At least I'm not like you that relies on the METRO for your pearls of soccer wisdom or information! I'm sure you don't even realise the metros standing as a colossal joke among other papers in europe! Ask coogar or nihilist to clarify for you!

Hopeless curmudgeon! calling me insane shows your cerebral cortex lacks illumination. Asking me how I exposed YOU shows that you are myopic and mentally deranged. "Where you caught bragging on your gayner thread about getting me banned or not?" TRUE or FALSE? Witnesses yapa 4 here!

Abeg just run along and go and sort that your diminishing CGPA. After you achieve that then go and read another course on how to learn manners and also how to interact on a public forum without abusing someone who does not share your _moronic ideology or delights in bragging about getting monikers banned.

Hurry up and also go and search my whole NL history to see if you can find anything you can use for a rebuttal you hear? We all know that is your modus operandi, since you are to dumb to think on the spot! After all I know you are suffering from a new strand of the AIDS virus! Abysmal IQ Deficiency Syndrome! Bloody tool!

StarBoard:
Chai!!!
Abeg wet in I do you na? ? ?

Haba! You no dey among na! Na all this ones wey dey like report to mods and too dey throw party I dey refer too jare! No long thing! Na morning devotion all man dey do today! Lol...

Pataki:
What is this tsetse fly feeling like? Mention my name and stop typing like a coward.

Idiotic verbiage that amounts to senseless rambling. There are moderators on this board. I have told you and openly stated that even Seun can be called upon to verify if I ever made a request for you to be banned.

You are one of the manure fans that really tries to feel among. Go and learn from erudite manure fans like afrodoc, StarBoard, Sinizia, Jackal/Sauron/Coogar, tkb417, Emperor, AdeLaNa1, dopeJemi, Purist, and so many others.....

Pataki is a one man army beast. I have earned my stripes in bans. So if you get banned, that is your freaking headache. You are lucky that your id was not even wiped off from this forum. Stay in your lane. Pataki is a certified NL weere when he is in his elements.

Pataki! I agree you are a beast! "YOU are actually A BEAST OF BURDEN! You have earned your stripes in calling mods you _stupid, 2 faced, deluded coward! I concur!

Look boy! You were caught like the little crybaby prat that you are and I EXPOSED you! You are not, will not and cannot ever be on my level as far as soccer or regards anything else in your sad life is concerned! I saw you viewing so I had to send you that subliminal message! Your insecurity has caused you to respond abi? Lol............

By the way I don't need to consistently mention _idiots like YOU in my posts! I don't want to be associated with retards such as yourself!
Now kindly get the _fuck back into your distorted world of gayner purgatory! Your time to be noticed has expired! Hopeless _moron!

Kolade354:
Do you have any problem wif d way I type?
Every goat and animal just dey quote me.

Some advice 4 you; look down please.....

Mystic1:
And its painful you have brought Politics into the wise words of Mazi. He is plainly not talking about picking a Five-A-Side team that you commune with. Contrary to the point Mazi is making, you are insinuating that others apart from the once you mentioned don't have anything important to say and ain't worth your mention. In the fare world that Mazi is talking of, there shouldn't be newer posters and older posters just as you've said. Because we came in 2014, we ain't qualified to engage in discuss with people who has been here since 2005 innit? Or maybe the newer dudes should just stay quiet and get trampled upon by the older dudes because the newer dudes when they speak are only tring hard to make a name for themself.
Wisdom they say is rare. You just ruined Mazi's words with your myopic reasoning. You should have remained silent and pretend you were still banned. Good night sir.

My guy don't mind nihilist abeg! It should be an honour for any CHELSEA FAN to even interact for 1 minute with even a 1 day old "MAN UNITED" fan because engaging football royalty purifies their souls and helps them to attain clarity about matters in football when they engage with our ilk!

I'm even ashamed that in his summation about the issue he had to resort to the "old, sad and tired I'm old on nairaland or I miss the good old days recycled crap" that old members tend to spill when they have no solution to their despair on boards! I thought I only heard such moaning from all those bitter single/married women in the family section and not on a _fucking soccer thread!

Half of them that have suddenly become contrite are "so guilty" themselves of the offence of "idiotic trolling" that they actually deserve more than the poundings they receive here for being consistent twits! When have you ever seen 1 of them raise or post any objective football topic that we can even debate on regarding united or even chelsea or arsenal?

I've been here since march 2015 and this is the 2nd time I've been banned unjustly by rival fans who can't stand the same trolling that they love to spread on this thread! The 1st time was because 1 cowardly gayner ran to report me when he could not stand the shower of vitriol he was receiving from me and I provided evidence of it when he was bragging on their thread of how he got me banned and secondly was when that sad ape got us all banned from a few days ago!

Now my point is this look at my posts on this thread consistently! With this moniker as well as my "boss kratos moniker" which I use when banned, I steadily post stories regarding all clubs and united! Statements from van gaal, players or stats that we can use as a foundation for healthy soccer banter! How many of them ever join the convo? How many of them ever contribute to the soccer conversation around here? Despite their so called LONGEVITY on nairaland or their "acting big man status"?

All they think about is celebrating parties after losses and then posting stupid gifs about depay or past losses from years back? If that is how OLD members behave then they should all be tagged OLD FOOLS then!

My own is simple! Practise what you preach! Most times when brawls begin here its because gayners and shekpites instigate it, whenever I'm here having a debate with man united fans and sometimes that aare kakanfo guy that is a milan fan the banter always revolves around football and not individuals like depay or hazard! The next thing some offline nobodies will be crying after getting checked for their immaturity while screaming "don't quote me" on a forum that they have spent half their own on line lives on, quoting others just to spill trash in an attempt to troll!

Men! _fuck it! Some of them here are so petty and so take online shite to heart that they start crying about likes and are always quick to refer to a past beat down they may have received here when at a loss to counter arguments! Who's business is that? So you expect to come to another mans house _fuck his wife, slap his kids, empty garbage in his parlour and expect him to thank you for a job well done?

Abeg just ignore all their sanctimonious crap! I'm a united fan to the core and I'm not even going to go into the levels of my own fandom! Just like on every section I've been on in n.l my knowledge on the subject matter that may concern the thread is at the apex level so if you are going to engage me please come correct! Last but not least there is a reason I'm known as the "funlord", I bring the fun along with me on my travels, but when the time is right, believe me I can also bring the pain! Man U 4 Life! _fuck the rest...........

It feels so good to see a thread like this...



Yes op,GUYS ARE FOOLISH

Your "father" is also a GUY! Which means he is also quite FOOLISH! Any comments?

StarBoard:
Me, get a life? Do you know me to say that?

Why not start from the basics by dealing with yourself,and get some sense?
Why not argue constructively instead of lifting from Paul Scholes?
Why not think before you talk, garrulous simpleton?
Why not spell simple words correctly?
Why not shut up if you have nothing at all to say?
Why not stop lying about besting coogar and dopejemi?

I pray your relatives do not know who you are on this forum, that pensioner of a father of yours will die of heartbreak if he reads the nonsense you've been braying on this thread.

Merciless advice!

Kolade354:
