I was walking past the Crucible just as he was coming out of the car park at pretty reckless speed. He obviously didn't respond well to being knocked out that session...
Hang on...... When our players have had a few games, all of a sudden they are "tired and jaded" but Rooney has had a month off (while still training) and is now "rusty". So which is it? Do they play 3 games and are knackered but then have a few weeks off and they suddenly forget how to play football? Is there a very small window of opportunity where they can actually play without moaning? Or is that the England players are all just **** and this is the usual excuse trotted out when the Spud-Faced wonder fails to perform for the twenty-eleventh time and gets himself sent off for head-butting the ickle wheelchair bound team mascot?
I was listening to TalkShite in the car, earlier today, and the twat presenters on that station have gone Rooney mad. They've even made a song about him. If it wasn't so pathetic it would be laughable. I really wouldn't play him against the Italians. I'd put Oxo and Walnut on the wings and Donkey and Welbeck up front, and hope that we can get a goal buy using our pace on the wings and our advantage in the air. With Rooney twatting about in midfield/attack, we are going to get overrun.
