rooney a horrible excuse for a human being? horrible man but good player, trying to think off some more horrible people but decent players and make a team from them, a horrible eleven as such, rooney, bellamy, barton, savage, bowyer,...... there's some forward and a few for midfield
My main point was if I saw a player preparing to do me like that I would have done exactly the same. IF McCarthy hadn't been going to block him off ie foul Rooney it wouldn't have happened. Semantics I know but both my son and I saw the Wigan players intention as we watched the game live, my son even said "The Wigan players going to take out Rooney", he moves to Rooney not the other way round, he was even putting his arm out at the same time. If it had been against a Sunderland player I may have thought differently (obviously ) as it wasn't I just went meh! Got what he deserved. Rooney is no angel but I would love him and his passion in my team.
Great player undoubtedly and yes i would have him my team, but I would not let him in my house, talk to my kids or let him stroke my dog. He is feral.
