Fabio Capello has today dug himself a deeper ditch after revealing that despite still not having spoken to Rio Ferdinand about the captaincy issue, he spoke to all the squad!
“I spoke with the players and personally with some players, and I spoke with the squad before I decided that John Terry will be the captain,” said Capello. “All the players were happy because John Terry was always a very important leader on the pitch and to the team.”
After announcing to the press that he was likely to give the armband back to Terry, Capello headed to Old Trafford. He was supposed to meet with Rio but the press claimed no official meeting had been arranged, so Rio didn’t go running around trying to find him.
Capello has been asked today as to why, a whole week later, he still hasn’t spoken to Rio about taking the captaincy off him and replacing him with the shamed John Terry.
“I know that Rio Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard are not fit. I knew it was the moment, with one game which is so important, to have one captain like John Terry,” said Capello. “I tried to meet him (Ferdinand) when Manchester United played against Marseille but he told me no. I can understand everything, but I need to make decisions. I think I will be happy and will meet him in the future. It didn’t happen, he didn’t come. Its a question for him, not for me. I was in the directors’ box. You have to ask him, okay?”
Sadly, it appears as though Rio’s club team mate, Wayne Rooney, is amongst those giving his backing to Capello and Terry.
“For us as players it’s down to the manager who he picks as captain,” he said. “There is nothing we can do to influence Fabio Capello’s decision. I don’t think Rio Ferdinand is fit and he hasn’t played for us for a while at United, so the manager has to make that decision. The captain has to wear the armband. You have to shout and be a leader but I have said many times that John Terry, even when he is not the captain, is a massive leader for us.”
Cheers Wayne. How Rio could even consider playing for this man and amongst those players is beyond me. Every England player asked has said they’re “100% behind Terry” and not a single one of them has spoken out over how badly Rio has been treated. I’d love to hear what Gary Neville would have made of the disgraceful behaviour of the manager and team mates in light of the treatment of Rio. Turns out that Terry isn’t the only England player who doesn’t give a fuck about his team mate…
Man Utd News 24/7
Thirst!
Rio has been treated shabbily but he’s prepared to carry on playing for England, i’d say he has too much class to captain that shower.
Indecisive, Incidental, Insensitive; absolutely not in charge.
How did this man ever win any trophy in his life?
I have a strange feeling the reappointment of Terry is out of desperation than any calculated plan. It’s obvious he couldn’t get this team playing football if his life depended on it. By appointing a high profile name as captain who is always in the news, it is definitely going to deflect the attention off of the Italian. Can’t see it working now, sadly for him.
Cappello . Cunt
Would have been nice of Rooney to back his club mate over that fucking scumbag cunt, but instead he gives his full backing and calls him a great leader. The other cunts in that set up I’m not at all bothered about though – they can back him and lick fruit yoghurt off his scrotum for all I care. United > England, you will do well to remember that Rooney.
Twats, the whole lot of them. No wonder Rio wouldn’t speak to him.
Retire Rio.
A tale of 2 Fabio’s.
Da Silva is Fab. Capello is just B.O.
Oh here we go again, what an absolute joke the English national team are. And the clown of clowns leads them with his little cunt of a captain. Rio is too good for this, personally, although some sections of the media would crucify him for it, I think he would be entirely right to at least say he will never play for Capello again. I wish he would retire fully, but how can you play for a manager who just points the blame? It’s like the press went “Fabio! Oi Fabio! Why didn’t you tell Rio about the captaincy issue?” and then he replied “Non è mia, mi aspetto colpa mia presenza di attirare Rio per cercare una riunione con me, ma purtroppo non poteva toccare in mio aura di incompetenza. Non posso parlare inglese. Rio ha deciso di non seguire me per confrontarli così ho deciso di nominare il mutinous via invece. Mamma Mia!” and which his translator explained, “It’s not my fault, I expect my presence to attract Rio to seek a meeting with me but sadly he could not tap into my aura of incompetence. I can’t speak English either. Rio decided not to follow me on Twitter so I decided to appoint the mutinous cretin instead. Mamma Mia!” That’s whats expected from someone who’s got a 13 man management rating on football manager. And that’s being generous.
I respected Fabio Capello for taking away the armband from Terry because it was sending out a message to everyone now to fuck around (literally!) or you’ll be in trouble. However, this is just pathetic. Nearly as bad as when he exiled Beckham when he announced he was joining L.A Galaxy.
Exactly!! A relayed message is not an arranged meeting.
If you listen to what Capelol and Rio said about the OT incident it looks like this.
1. Decision was made, senior squad members met with Capello, press is informed, no effort to meet with Rio. (No one disputes this)
2. Later, Capello comes to OT for the Marseille game but does not request a formal meeting with Rio. (No one seems to dispute this)
3. Capello stays in the directors box an effectively public place and again does not request a formal private meeting.
4. Rio, in his own words, would rather a private meeting since he will obviously have something to say.
I don’t see how Capello can find this defensible.
** Capello ** not CapeLOL (ofcourse)
Capellostitcompletelythecunt.
“When an Italian says it’s pasta I check under the sauce to make sure. They are innovators of the smokescreen.”
If I was RIO I would retire from England with immediate effect! Why would one want to deal with people like Capello and Terry!!!!
Come on WALES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ FletchTHEMAN
I’d stick with Capelol, considering what a joke of a man he’s turning out to be.
What is Rooney going to say? I quit England? No. Simple. Yes its a piss take how Rio has been treated but to be fair, he’s barely fit and that’s why he’s not our captain. I would’ve taken it off him too, I wouldn’t give it Terry, but no one else really deserves it in the team so I can understand why Capello gave it back to him, even though the way he handled it was terrible, but it’s all in line with how England have been under him.
Football Assoc Boss Is Over Captain’s Adulterous Past, Embracing Leader, Legend, Odious.
The other England are not going to speak out, too scared of being dropped & losing their endorsements etc. we all know Rooneys opinion is easily changed by buckets of cash. The other main characters in the England rabble are no different.
Rio has been treated like shit, but the FA treat united like shit so what’s new? The manager has all but called him a liar, I expect a statement from Rio through the club in the coming days. How could he play for that Italian clown again?
Rio does have at least one team mate sympathizing publicly… Jermain Defoe
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_6830167,00.html
Capello gets 6 million to make these decisions
Yes that is correct 6 million.
I bet that we could do a better job
I bet we could do it for less than 100,000 let alone 6 million
I also bet that it would work
Point is we don’t give a shit about England
This is terrible from capello.Isn’t this the same capello who said terry will never get the band back while he’s around?What happened?Blowjob?
Rejecting Italian Overlord, Fearless Englishman Refuses Despotic Insistence, Never Abusing National Decorum.
There’s a reason why he is called smartalex.
smartalex 1
Capello 0
To the tune of the apprentice
Fabio Capello you’re fired
Absolute shambles. Capello is a fucking clown. Kudos to henry winter for slamming him on talkshite tonight. He said his english has got worse the last three years. I reckon sir john of terry trys to run the whole fucking show as capello is weak as fuck. Pathetic. Listening to folk call in I cannot actually believe people stiil even give a fuck about the ingerlund team. I stopped caring after france 98. Laughing stock of world football. United > england
It’s easy to mock him, capello is italian for cannon-fodder (kidding), yet he didn’t have the balls to fire Ferdy.
“Kudos to henry winter for slamming him on talkshite tonight. ”
That’s what I like about King Eric. He is fair when he has to, but he never loses his focus and still trashes the program.
Smartalex. Hello mate. Classic quote about the italians.
After Euro 2012 Capello is gone, a new man will be in charge and hopefully one with some sense and some decency. When asked if Wilshere will be captain in the future his response says it all… “It won’t be my problem.” This man clearly doesn’t care about England or any of the players, just the pay cheque.
Rio, don’t play for this clown again.
Wayne, way to stick up for your mate!!
The Man is England manager but in truth he is floundering.This will end badly you cant disrespect a senior player in this manner, he may have edged his way nearer the exit door but that may be the end game who knows,
Costas. Ha. Cheers mate. Henry winter > talksport.
@KIng Eric
I don’t know what’ worse. Capelol’s England or the fact that his succesor will probably be Harry Redknapp? This team is doomed either way.
smartalex
loving the pasta quote from fergie
iirc it was from when we played inter isn’t it??
Hello King Eric, the sauce covering this charade smells off.
Another smoke-and-mirrors attempt by the FA, or by Capelol.
No wonder Scholessy quit Ingurland, no class whatsoever. Come On Wales!!!
Ryan90MUFC, Sir Alex before the Champions League game against Inter Milan in 1999.
did anyone watch the belgium game the player united have been linked with witsel scored 2 goals.. what did u think of him since i couldn’t watch the match a sandstorm just hit the arabian gulf
A shit storm just hit Capello. Krasic is a diving cunt.
@mg its 6mil a year, £120,000 a week for what amounts to 6 weeks work a year
Who cares? is England
“6mil a year, £120,000 a week for what amounts to 6 weeks work a year”
Thats a fucking joke!
gerkeo
Ouch ouch ouch
That makes it a million a week!
Fuck me –
Guess I should eat some of my words about Zoran Tosic. He scored a real cracker for Serbia v N Ireland. Can’t say that I don’t still back the manager on this one though. Always thought he was a good little player but didn’t really show much while here.
http://goal4replay.net/VideoWatchF.asp?ID=52513&Ln=En
Fletch – I watched the game mate. Good goal, but did little else. The other one we couldn’t get a work permit for, missed an open net and got taken off at half time. Also, thank fuck we didn’t sign Krasic, diving cunt.
Damn, Rooney is a spineless bastard. To support naming someone captain over Rio is fair enough, the guy hardly plays, but to support that poor excuse of a mens toilet that is John Terry is just disgraceful.. Please England, enjoy another major tournament without any measurable ammount of success. A new and different approach is needed.
For a site that claims not to give a shit about England, you are getting your knickers in an awful twist. Who care’s?
Ok..Rio was treated shabbily..no question about that. But to expect other players to come out and say that ? Never gonna happen in a million years..not even Gaz wud if he had played.
None of you wud either..you obey and follow. If yu wanna rebel..yur out. Simple as that.
The best thing Rio can do is retire from International Footy. Their will be an outcry from the media as he is the finest defender in decades..But first wear the red shirt and make us win games…and then retire from International footy when the next national call comes up..
are any of us still deluding ourseveles rooney is in this for anything but number 1,if he’d just stuck to the first line that would’ve been fine but to elaborate and not back his teammate is out of order and to praise that a1 cunt terry is a insult to rio.tell you rooney is a self centred twat.
Haha – love that photo. Bridge looks angry and Terry looks guilty
david Finnega
You must not be here so often – 50 plus posts does not equate to giving a shit – on average we hit 400 plus if we are really bothered – 600 if we are on to something – 800 plus if we feel like a moan – 1000 plus if we feel like flexing our fingers.
Feel free to respond the only knickers in a twist are yours – you have no idea what we can do,
i for 1 will be supporting any team england play because although english born and bread i see having that useless italian waster managing us i see no point in supporting them when capello was withreal madrid he and becks had a falling out he is a trcherous bastard who isnt fit to manage city i hope the cunt fucks off to wastlands when mancini gets the sack the fucking city cunt
England Manager Capello’s defensive claims that England Captain Ferdinand refused to attend a meeting to ‘belatedly return the armband’, as it were, must be attended as vigorously by the FA as they dealt with Sir Alex recently. An enquiry is paramount, as Rio’s mutinous disregard for the FA’s chosen leader is tantamount to treason, given the high standing afforded football in England.
We’re all bound for moo moo land.
@ FletchTHEMAN – Tosic was never really given an opportunity as far as I’m concerned, 5 sub appearances which I doubt reached a total of 90 minutes. He seems to score a fair few goals for club and country but turned out to be a waste of time signing that we may or may not have lost money on. When you consider Bebe has been given more of an opportunity and he can’t cross to save his life it is a baffling one and one we will never know the true answer to.
As for ingurland, said all I wanted to about this subject. Not surprised by Waynes comments but even if he stuck up for Rio in public makes no difference to me because as far as I’m concerned he should have done so when they had that team meeting earlier in the week. Just like when Gary Neville led the ingurlanders to boycott over Smith being arrested who was a leads player no less, and the Rio drug test fiasco. However thats never going to happen again.
FUCK England who gives a shit. Rooney is a cunt as well he had the chance to do what is right and publically back his team mate but chose not to. He would have been better off keeping his scouse mouth shut altogether- if he did feel the need to comment then at least do the right fuckin thing Wayne. His loyalty is with England first and us second. Remember who pays your fuckin wages
Officially changing my Facebook picture to a Wales flag for tomorrow, then heading to the pub to sing, “You can stick your fucking England up your arse!” until their blood is boiling.. Cant Wait!
UNITED > ENGLAND!
Rooney; the man who slept with a ugly prostitute behind his wifes back. Rio is smart enough to know if he can’t respect his own child hood sweet heart, then what chance has he got of any support?
Willie. Spot on mate. Tosic did fuck all. Never in a million years a united player. Above all else I just don’t think he was mentally a united a player. And yes krasic is a diving cunt.
According to the Guardian, Hargo suffered a shoulder injury and is out for 4 weeks…
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/mar/26/owen-hargreaves-manchester-united?
I dont think Rooney could say anything else. If he started to slate Capello, the whole media circus would be coming after him, as they always do with our players. The only way out now, i feel is for Rio to retire
That is terrible news Costas. I hope Hargo is not injured, and if he is , hopefully a saving grace is that it’s not at all knee related (I’d expect)
His is a long hard road valiantly travelled, and deserving of reward.
Rio should quit england asap! Capello is cunt with no fuckin stones.
As for Rooney, everytime i try to forgive him, he does something even more stupid. Fuckin daft scouse scum.
FCUK Rooney w/ all of his comment! Terry is cunt, Capello is scum!
YCSYFEUYA!
All these continued setbacks for Hargo must be pretty tough on his mental attitude. I am glad he does not give up, but still….this is heartbreaking to read. I cannot wait for the day when I see him actually playing again.
united>england
fuck off terry
fuck off capello
rooney – don’t you dare support these cunts
fuckin go shag ur scum mates in west london up the arse how they like it, rooney u cunt
i’ll never sing ur name again. cant wait for the day u fuck off to some shit team with ambition.
rooney ur a wanker.
ENGLAND<UNITED
England, they’re just pure rubbish. And they’ll never win a single thing. As for rooney saying that, only one scum would support another.
was the picture of bridge and the scum before or after the scandal?
Don’t see the big deal in what he said to be honest, he doesn’t say he agreed with Capellos decision in dumping Rio or even that Terry is a better leader than Rio. If you think ANY player is going to speak out against it publicly then your living in a fucking dream world.
As i see it this is just another attempt to twist what Rooney has/hasn’t said and make it into something that its not, just my opinion..
Nice read here:
http://blogs.soccernet.com/astonvilla/archives/2011/03/why_i_hate_watching_england.php
@United till i die:
Sure but don’t let Gary Neville heard you.
@United till i die
Jermaine Defoe had the spine to come out and say that what’s been done to Rio is unfair, whileall Mr. Ambition can talk about is how good a leader Tiny Tears is. He may be our best player by a country mile, but that doesn’t change the fact that Rooney is a self-serving scumbag.
Hargo now injuried his shoulder ?
Don’t give up Owen, some are still waiting for your return to competitive football even if it could be in a different team. That’s terrible news for the lad, nothing else can be said. This world sometimes can be so cruel and there is no justice.
To call a United player scum is unbelievable, why dont you just nail him to the cross. support your team for fucks sake
Fabio is a joke, the FA are a disgrace, international football is a waste of time and FIFA are a bunch of wankers
Keep it PL, keep it UNITED, the rest can fuck off. Rio should retire now and tell them all to fuck off..
There was a time when I had a soft spot for England but these days they just disgust me… Terry as captain? Fuck off
Morning all by the way!
Morning Cedars.
Every discussion on internationals invariably reminds me of what Martin Tyler said when we scored against the Rentboys in the Community Shield- ‘after that brief distraction of a world cup, this is real football back with a vengeance.’
The internationals are a joke. Ingerlend even more so.
Hi dela
My affection towards England was high during the 80′s when Robbo was captain. Nowadays I could not care less and I agree they are a joke…. Just put them in a penalty shoot out with the Germans LOL
I just hope that Rio and Wayne would do what the Ginger Prince did a few years ago… i.e tell them to fuck off
Riomight but I doubt if Wayne do anything to piss Don Fabio off. He just loves being the ‘future of Ingerlend’ and all that.
FUCK THIS.I am hearing now that Hargreaves has sustained ANOTHER injury in training. this time on his shoulder and he’s out for four weeks. I am afraid that man may be cursed. SMH career destroyed by inuries.
Scott why would you expect Rooney to stick up for his teammates? He basically called them all rubbish before the Bursapor game last October…
…oops did I go there? I think I did actually. :p
Rooney’s words may have been twisted.Very Typical of our media.Capello was right(in a way) to strip rio off but was very wrong to return it to terry and to do it behind rio’s back.
funny manager. very funny.
Maybe Terry can be a great leader….in bed when Rooney do the dirty work with an ol´ granny. Those two deserve eachother.
It would be amasing if Bridges eyes had two machineguns attached to them, then there would be no more captain fantastic. Love the picture.
Like I’ve said before Rooney and Terry are the same breed. The only difference is Chelsea fans didn’t seem affected at all when Terry flirted with moving to City, whereas many United supporters are still pissed off with CUNT Rooney for the way he disrespected us. Chelsea as a football club have no class. United deserve better than Wayne Rooney. He’s a disappointment. A snake. A scouser to the very core. I can’t wait until our club purified of his and the Glazers existence.
Good morning all
Oh and to pre warn everyone, don’t bother watching Goals on Sunday this week and Gerrard and Carragher are on there. Scouse bastards.
Capello= clown. Why do the english national team need a captain anyway? Its not like he would be lifting any trophy any time soon!
@smartalex
Morning mate. I agree that he derserves to be rewarded for his efforts over the last 3 years, but I think this setback will probably signal the end of his United career. If he is out for 4 weeks, then he may be back in time for the last few games, but I don’t see how he is going to feature in those. If they are crucial games anyway..It’s ironic that for all his knee problems this latest (and maybe final) blow has nothing to do with them.
@ Costas
Good morning mate. This injury may well be the straw that breaks the water carrier.
If you had to chose, a distant body part, like the ring finger, is a preferred injury site.
Talk about straws and the grasping thereof.
I’m not going to stop believing that he will be back. Easy for me, belief is all I started with.
Another big setback, I pray Hargo rests with a happy heart, for his waking hours have been
wretchedly unfair.
Bad management alright by Capello and Terry is a fucking low life scum of the earth pig but what is the big deal about the England captaincy?? talk about over the top coverage in the British media.No other country makes such a big deal of it.
@smartalex
With the international break, it’s hard to get any confirmation about this. My hope is that maybe they are wrong, but it’s tough to say. I remember it was either the Guardian or some other paper that first broke the news about Anderson’s injury at the Crawley game. They talked about 6-8 weeks and Fergie denied it saying it would probably be 3 weeks. Same for the Michael Owen injury.
I don’t want to give up hope on the guy either. But he is running out of time. To be honest, what will make me happy is if he starts playing football again. Whether it’s at United or elsewhere. I’d hate to think that he put so much effort into returning over the last 3 years, only to retire due to his injuries.
I’m ashamed of Wayne Rooney most of all. If anyone should have said something, anything, it’s him. He could even have just said that he felt for Rio a little, but no. He “backs Terry”. Cheers. Thanks mate.
http://www.fivecantonas.com/john-terry-herd-mentality-england-stupid/
Git the Brave, it goes back to the days when the only way an Englishman could get a decent shag was by heading north to fornicate under consensual Kings. As the chosen ring-leader, Terry may shag anything with a ring, under the latest Respect campaign. Harlots gather, giggle and gulp expectantly.
Torres’ belly ring has been hit hard from the transfer window to the international break.
@Costas
It is desperately disappointing for an athlete to be so stricken with the blight of injury.
Hargreaves and Giggs. Their lives are similar, and yet so completely different.
Does Ballotelli have any understanding of what he is pissing away?
I feel,sure that Ravel Morrison has seen the sacrifice that is part and parcel of the professionals’ life and now values his opportunity. Hargo will inspire maturity in every United youth.
Hardly his aim in life, but a positive out of the pain.
i don’t get why a post about the england captaincy has turned into we hate rooney thread. A lot of you have short memories evra stuck up for anelka at a world cup and got banned by his country yet he still wants to play for france. players love to play for their countries i would never want that to be diferent. i am one of the very few on here who actually support the national team because i’m english i naively watch them and hope against all that is holy that they actually win something. i guess it keeps me grounded because i’m used to supporting a great team who actuallys fulfils its potential. The way capello dealt with the situation was wrong hes acknowleged that like many of you i despise terry but capello has to do his job. i feel really sorry for him. because 18 months ago everyone was saying he’s bought a breath of fresh air to england and now he is treated worse then a murderer in our lovely press. i think he will be relieved after the euros because he was a decent fella and a great manger but i think this job has destroyed him.
COME ON WALES!!!!!!!!!!!
Has Owen Hargreaves been cursed ? Whats with these injuries ? geez.
Corry Evans had a fantastic game for Northern Ireland, another one in which he was the one who dominated the midfield, breaking off opposition attacks and being the driving force of the attack.
He deserves a chance next season, since Hargo has been crocked once again and should retire, sad but true.
Corry Evans and Tom Cleverley, who both are a bit older than the other youngsters that we have like Tunniclife & Norwood & Morrison, are the future of Manchester United and they deserve their chance next season to play for us. We really don’t need to buy expensive stars, that is not the foundation on which our club was founded and has operated ever since, we’re more of a family-club. Corry and Tom to be included in our squad for the next season, that’s instrumental in my opinionand hopefully for the long future to come, as they will give their maximum for our club, unlike the mercenaries, just ask the Blanco Franco Fascists.
Choose History, Choose Pride, Choose Prestige,
Choose MANCHESTER UNITED !!!!!!
Rooney is a selfish cunt.
Terry is a selfish cunt.
Capello is Italian so couldnt really give a fuck about England as he gets his money anyway.
I hope Wales batter them today and I am English – I finally gave up on the whole sorry bunch of cunts at the last fiasco.
If I were a City fan I would have stopped supporting them LONG ago so why would I be any different with ENGERLUND.
….even those annoying cunts playing the great escape on a fucking Kazoo all match have long since gotten on my last fucking nerve.
Fuck Rooney, Fuck Terry, Fuck Wonderboy Wilshire and fuck Capello – spit on their collective ringpiece and fuck`em.
Over and fucking Out – So long England, My Mum`s German so I have a fucking fantastic back up plan and as soon as I sort myself out a fine Castillian Bitch I have a guarenteed place in the final for years and years to come. All you England Diehards can express your disappointment with Gary Lineaker and Mark Lawrenson curled up together on the Match of the Day couch.
So long Suckers ! Bye Bye Benders
Deutschland Uber Alles but United ABOVE THE FUCKING LOT !!
its simple
Fuck Terry
Fuck Capello
Fuck England
COME ON WALES!!!
United > England
Morning.
I see James Perch’s red card and three match ban has been appealed and reduced to a one game ban. I know Morrison stuck a leg out but it was Perch the cunt who grabbed him round neck. Can’t Ravel’s be reduced to a one game so he makes the Rentboys semi final? Having said that he can be classed as a reserve and a youth player so there may well be three games prior to Chelsea. A game today, a reserve game mid week, that leaves just one game.
Regarding Rooney. Yes he acted a cunt last October BUT do we have to beat him with every stick? Those wanting rid may well be waiting a few years so what ya gonna do ? Stay on his case till then or get behind the lads for the last push? I actually think alot of the ill feeling will subside when he is still here next year. I like probably many others STILL have a bit of doubt that he may go so we cannot fully get behind him, yet. Thats my take anyway. For what its worth I do think he will still be here in 2 years or so. His comments about Tiny Tears are what anyone would probably say. Like it or not Ingerlund is a big deal to the players.
rachel – Good point about turning this thread into “we hate Rooney” one.
Oh and listening to that weak cunt Capello this morning does he even do team talks? He cannot even string a fucking sentence of the queens together after 3 bastard year. Clown of the highest order.
Sooo…..Hargo apparently injured his shoulder now. Will be out for a month. sigh….
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/898703/manchester-united's-owen-hargreaves-suffers-fresh-injury-setback?cc=5901
I know I made my point about Rooney, but it was a simple case of suggesting that he should back his clubmate over that fucking cunt Terry. There is no need to call Rooney a cunt or any other vile name, not while he is still a United player. Anyone not connected with United who behave odiously and show contempt towards us, they are the true CUNTS.
Kings – Morning pal, how’s it going? Oh don’t get me wrong mate, of course Wayne should have backed Rio. As I say though unfortuantely these cunts DO actually care about their national team. I cannot get my swede round the notion that representing Ingerlund is the pinnacle. No not for me. Winning in Europe or a Premier league title for United is the pinnacle for me. Then again I ain’t a professional footballer. Heard them all waxing lyrical about Wilshire last night. Its time for Morrison or Tunni to step it up even further and put this odd bodied little cunt in the shade. Come on Wales.
Oh I also agree with RedFilip. Corry Evans had a bloody good game last night.
I know Rooney should have backed Rio up… but after all the self imposed shit the media and we have thrown at him this season and last at the WC… could you blame him for wanting to stay out of the limelight?
He’s only just beginning to regain his form… I understand why he wouldn’t want more controversy surrounding him.
Let’s not forget the two real villains here…. Capello and Terry.
John Terry: I’d like to think I do bring a lot to the dressing room and on the training field. Everyone has to show the passion, and that’s one of my strengths.
Fuckin egoistic twat. I hope Bellamy runs him ragged. Come on Wales!!
Also nice to hear SAF saying Welbeck and Cleverley will get plenty of games next season for us. Two great talents! Have high hopes for Tom I think he could be a brilliant player for us!
Rooney and Terry do deserve each other indeed. What’s happened to the Wayne we all loved? Is it just me, or is it no coincidence that he’s become a total wanker since spending most of the world cup in the company of none other than tiny tears? I think Rooney, despite his obvious talent, has been irreparably corrupted. Honestly, he seems so changed, we all know he loved playing for England, but it now seems he’s more bothered about being a big time charlie failure with them rather than a winner with us. I used to genuinely like him, but he has really changed, even during his phenomenal season I got the impression he was getting ideas about getting too big for us. If we can find similar talent, and let’s be honest, we’ve seen a few players who can spray 40 yard balls to the wing with ease, I’d happily see him go in the summer. Yes he plays for us and I’ll support him while he does, but it doesn’t mean I have to like him.
rooney didn’t have to elaborate or praise john terry ‘for us as players its down to the manager who picks the captain’,can stop right there,that would’ve been fine.doesn’t even praise rio at all then goes go to say how great that cunt is.sorry i’ll support rooney while he’s a red but what he said was bollocks.its not about this becoming a bashing rooney thread again its what he said or didn’t say that needs to be addressed because he doesn’t give a fuck about utd or his teammates and after what he’s done i’m not going to blindly support him anymore.
Not sure if Rooney is supposed to come out and say yeah JT is a cock and so is Cappello, yes he should have talked to Rio and made more of an effort to do so but are we really surprised this idiotic buffoon who has clearly lost the plot fucked up in this way. Another thing Rio is not called the WGT for nothing and his recent twatterings make you roll your eyes at times, A fine fine player no doubt but also a bit of a cock himself, just like Rooney.
I have to tell you this, I was in Wales yesterday to meet a customer and we had a coffee in Oswestry Services, as we left a bloke of around 30 came up to us and said excuse me is this the road to Wales, yes Wales ffs, my customer is Welsh said to him “if you get on that road there you’ll pass through all of Wales till you get to the sea” at which he point he trotted off happy, my customer turned to me and said “one of yours eh” Why do I have to meet a stupid countryman asking directions to a whole fucking country!!!
I have to say that I don’t think the problem is Rooney himself. You think that if Carrick or Brown were in the squad their stance would have been any different? Sadly, I think not. Gary Neville was the exception of the law I feel.
@smartalex
Balotelli is a cunt mate. I don’t wish harm on anyone, but it’s a shame when you look at the hand that fate dealt Hargo and how players like Balotelli piss their talent away. I hope you are right about Hargreaves inspiring some of our younger players.
Lads it is not Rooney’s fault that Capello is a wop cunt and doesn’t have the common curtsey or stone to tell Rio that he has been dropped as captain, lets face it there is a reason that he isn’t United captain and unfortunately that is doe to his own fitness.
Rio is a superb player and in my mind when up and running he is the best in the World, but he will never be the player he was and that is just the way it is, that is not Wazza’s fault.
@Costas sorry mate disagree rooney doesn’t have to go on about how rio is always injured and terry is a massive leader thats justifying what capello. it takes players from other teams to say rio got a raw deal,something wrong there and i don’t think brown or carrick would have justified what happened to their teammate.
capello did.
Wayne – Rooney doesn’t see Terry in the same light, as you and me. The reality is, Rio can’t stay fit these days. The way it was handled by postman Pat, is the biggest issue for me.
Wayne, what you think Wayne should say that Capello was wrong (which he was) that simply isn’t going to happen, people still have issues with Rooney which is fair enough but he wants to play for his Country and will toe the party line.
Terr y don’t get me wrong is a grade A prick and I would celebrate his death but him being England captain is not Rooney’s fault.
@Stephen no he doesn’t have to say capello is wrong he could’ve left it at his very first line,to go on and back capellos decision praise terry and give nothing to rio is what i have a problem with
@willie hi mate so you’re saying birds of feather?
Wayne – Exactly. Rooney can’t come out and criticize Terry, when he’s been in the spotlight for his own issues.
@wayne
Don’t know mate. I wasn’t expecting anything different from Rooney. The England setup is the same all these years. No matter how much bullshit goes on behind the scenes, players act cool about it. It takes a Gary Neville to expose them. Look at Rio’s stance. Has he said anything? No. He is keeping his mouth shut because he doesn’t want to disrupt the team. And I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t retire. I remember Capello making a few insulting remarks about Beckham a while back. None of his England teammates reacted then either.
The sad truth here is that the only player who’s making a fuss when he feels he is insulted, is Terry himself. The rest are sheep.
I was wrong about Wes Brown. I forgot he retired after he saw what was going on.
i’m not saying he had to criticize capello or terry just saying didn’t have to back both of them.when someone has to take the side of a cunt to avoid his own criticism its a sad reflection of who he is as a person.
Wayne – I know what you’re saying mate. A simple “it’s the managers decision” would have been sufficient. or even if he used his half a brain cell and not done the interview it would have been better. He should remember where his loyalties should be. If Defoe had the bollocks to say what was on his mind why can’t Rooney? I always got the impression him and Rio were mates anyway? What’s the worst thing that could have happened to Rooney if he said the whole thing was a fiasco?! Capello would drop him, then after the media frenzy and hate campaign he’d put him back in the squad anyway!
Maybe Rooney should have said fuck all, but this is about Capello and the way he treated Rio.
@Costas just seems to me rooneys loyalty lies with himself and england over utd and his teammates.i agree about rio acting like a pussy by not saying anything should tell capello to go fuck himself i’d have more respect for him,don’t get why he’s hanging on anyway.
I hope Terry scores an own goal in injury time.,,,,England lose 3-2 after being 2-0 up
Afternoon all true reds…. And before I forget, fuck the FA, FIFA, Capello and of course Terry
Rai
Hi buddy, how is the pregnancy going ? All the best
@Rai exactly why justify what capello did and praise terry no need for it.
CedarsDevil – afternoon mate
All going well thanks bud. It’s still early days. I told ROM before I told my family I couldn’t keep my mouth shut!! Due to have the 12 week scan in 2 weeks time so just waiting for that!!
Come October I’ll have a little Red
i feel for hargo when i was 16 i broke my leg all be it at a lower level . but i i cant help but think what a lucky bastard .he has at least had 1 hell of a experiance at the top level i was unable to play again and i was rated as a decent prospect at the time . i hope he can at east come back and play at some level because he isnt fit enough to play top level football anymore the poor fella
Rai
Great feeling mate, I wish you all the best…..
wayne, maybe mate he should have priased Rio in sme way, but the press love the “brave, fearless, inspiration, born leader” or “chav, drug dealer father, serial wife cheat, shagger of team mates other half, theiving mother/mother in law, take cash for look around training ground” twat.
Cedars – Cheers mate
Don’t you think this season has gone very quick? Every game now is crucial. West Ham next week I’m not looking forward to that we always struggle at Upton Park.
Stephen
Great words to describe Terry mate…. Loved it
Rai – Congratulations pal!!!
Wayne – Alright pal. I am not being funny here mate, not at all but just wondering. You were one of those standing up for Rooney , as I was , after the prozzie shite . Even after his contract debacle I am sure you were one of the few saying get behind him, as I was. What has made you change your mind about him in all this? Not a trick question, just generally interested. Is it a build up of everything? As I say I reckon alot of fans will support him more if he is still here in a year or two. At the moment I think alot of us have been burned by Ronnie going and think Wayne will do the same. Hence the apathy toward him.
Rai
Every season goes bye too quick mate, I hate the summers with out football. The game vs West Ham will be tough, always is there, the buggers always seem to have their game of the season against us
Cedars – even when they’re mid-table they raise their game against us….with our general away form, their position in the table, and the amount of injuries we’ve sustained over the past few months it’s either going to take something special or a very very determined performance to get all three points. Although I think Arsenal will bottle it eventually we don’t want to be playing them in a few weeks time with no breathing space between us. We’re fighting on three fronts; we’re gonna need a sprint to the finish.
King Eric – cheers pal
King Eric – It’s all to do with Rooney wanting out, back in October. I stuck by him as well, when the prozzie shit blew up. Maybe also, Berbatov being left out in favour of Rooney, has warranted the back lash against him. That though, is not his fault. The manger picks the team, not Rooney.
Rai
Have faith mate as I know you do, I really do not care about the treble I just want number 19!
People with regards to Wzza need to move on, he fucked up big time with the contact but Keano did something similar. While he wears the shirt he deserves our support and not blame him for everything that surrounds him, Fergie picks the team not him and Capello is a turd.
Cedars – Number 19 and knocking Liverpool off their fuckin perch
What’s the state of the party regarding our injured players comebacks are we well onthe road to full strength or what ? Not hearing a peep about updates.
@King Eric hi mate i got into battles on here sticking up for him over the hooker,going on the piss etc i bought into him being like you and i a genuine love for the club and didn’t think the money meant alot aslong as it was a decent wage.his love for utd and football was his motivation over everything else.
before the contract dispute the thought of him leaving horrified me, after the contract dispute everything changed.i’ve always said i’d support him while he’s a red but not blindly anymore now its all about business because thats all it is to him so his production on the field is all that matters
everyone knows terry is a cunt and capello has treated rio atrociosly yet rooney backs them both when he had no need to, doesn’t give rio the time of day in his statement.while he puts on a red shirt and earns his money fine but i’ve lost all respect for him as a human being and i do belive he doesn’t give a fuck about utd or his teammates,rooney is a rentboy so let him earn his money or ship him out.
@wayne
Another thing I was wondering about, was whether Rooney feels guilty about England’s fiasco last summer, so he now he wants to stay clear of any controversies.
As for Rio, this is what he tweeted a few minutes ago:
rioferdy5
” Eng 2 – 0 wales is my prediction tweeps, come on engeeeeeeerlaaaaaand!!”
Again, doesn’t look like he wants to make a big deal out of this. Don’t care if it comes off as petty, I will be disappointed in him if he doesn’t retire after all this.
Lads, Giggs and Nev on the panel for the Wales and England game.
We don’t know if Rooney has said something to Rio about the captaincy. Not everything gets said, or done for public consumption.
and willie is right berba is a decent guy and a model pro,turned down a bigger paycheck to play for utd,suffered brutal fan abuse never bitched about being on the bench,imo makes utd a better team everytime he plays yet rooney has been shown favourtism over him all year although apart from a few games berba has been the much better player.thats not rooneys fault but put rooney in berbas boots probably would have gone to city in the first place.
Rio should focus on united like scholes and giggsy both did the right thing ,England team will never be one as united coz they are a diffrent teams under the name of England look at Germany or spain example : barcalona & madrid they hate each others but when the international break comes they are One for one target .
Wayne – I give Rooney dogs abuse, when he said he wanted out. While he’s here, I’ll support him, because I have too. But, in terms of him leaving? I’m indifferent, to that now. Last year, I would’ve been distraught.
my feeling exactly willie
wayne is right about Berba. Top attitude, yet will never be appreciated even by some of our fans. I blame the media for this. It’s really double standards when you see how they deal with Rooney and how they deal with Berbatov. And it’s not just Rooney. I doubt they will label Carroll a flop as quickly as they did Berbatov.
Get in Nev you fuckin tell them
“it was handled appallingly”
Wayne – Fair enough mate. I think we all feel like that at the minute. Indifference.
Everyone should just chill… Please.
Rio just doesn’t want the captaincy enough to have to go fuck
Capello’s dog ahem… I mean, wife.
Costas. I also agree with that. we are in the country with one of the WORST and most BIASED medias in the entire world. I do not see ANYTHING special in carroll. What”s the difference between him and kev davies? nothing he just jumps in the air and knocks down balls and that’s special? but your biased british media will NEVER listen. I believe that it is the media that makes AND destroys careers in England. They NEVER let anyone have peace. Very Very annoying. I wouldn’t want to work in England or be a celeb in England under that kind of pressure. They believe you owe the british people something. like WTH? As for Rooney it disgusts me that he still wants to play for England. I ave been the NUMBER ONE advocate for every United player to quit the English but they’ll never listen What wayne rooney sees in England i do not fucking know. But hey i wish him all the best cuz he’s still a United Player the moment he leaves i become his number one hater because he has put this club thru shit and he deserves shit thrown back at him. but for now GO ROONEY. rant over.
Rio has been treated very badly and should defo retire!! to be fair Capello should have been sacked after the World Cup shambles, making Terry captain again is just making himself look more inept than he already does!! However to quote Rooney saying what he said is just pointless, Rooney did what he did at the start of the season and now its gone but to start with the and ‘Rooney hasnt even backed Rio’ bullshit is just seeming to me like your looking for excuses to have a pop at Rooney. At the end of the day its nobodys problem but Rio’s and Capellos and Rooney was just saying what was expected so maybe you should give the Rooney bashing a rest for fuck sake!!
King Eric – Hello mate, I’m good thanks. Hope you are well. I agree mate, how anyone considers playing for fucking Ingerlund an honour baffles me. I know Rooney potrays himself as a proud Englishman, but don’t undermine your clubmate by singing the praises of that cunt. United is all I care about and I would like to see our players taking that as priority over everything else. But like you say mate, we aren’t professional footballers, we are passionate fans of the worlds greatest football club. So maybe that’s why we have a different outlook. But any human being worth their salt can see what a despicable bunch the England squad have. I was a massive fan of Becks when he broke into the first team, but come the end of the 2002/03 season, I was actually pleased that we sold him on as I felt his priorities left a lot to be desired, especially when he felt that the national team and his celebrity status took presidence over United. The fact that it took over a year to sign that contract extension in 2002, asking for a percentage of image rights to be inserted into his contract on top of his basic £90k showed utter contempt towards United, the club he said he supported all his life.
On the topic of Wilshere, I wish someone would break his fucking legs, the odd-bodied little cunt. Talking about him as the best thing since sliced bread – I would love to slice him myself! Yeah I would love to see Tunni and Morrison snap that little cunt in two.
United > England.
How much hair dye does cappello use the vain twat.
@danny
Fully agreed with your rant. The problem with Rooney in my opinion, is that he cares what the journos think of him. He wants them to paint him in a good light because that’s where his bread is buttered. Most England players are like that nowdays. It’s not just that the media might destroy their careers (as they almost did Beckham’s after 98). Depending on how much they cover you, you can get more sponsorship deals…
I understand where Rooney’s coming from. No, I think its like Rooney understands where John Teddy is coming from. After all they couldn’t keep their dicks in their pants for one minute without causing any uproars.
Rooney has just made himself so unpopular its so hard to imagine United fans ever forgiving him. Putting the club that we love for ransom, talking to City, sleeping with a whore as ugly as he is and now this – Its OK for u to look fugly and all. But you’re just too ugly to be that stupid. So c’mon.
You DO realize that everyone on the England team is going to say the same thing? If Rooney were to open his mouth against Terry, the media will be all over his ass. He’s doing what he needs to in order to keep a low profile. I’m sure he supports Rio as a captain, but it’s just a media game now.
@Drogahnus:
Or.. he could choose not to comment.. right?
Sure he needs to comment, fine.. but he could have just been direct with his statement. It’s the way he commented that I just don’t like. It’s so overkill. “Massive leader”? Are you effin kidding me?
@Drogahnus:
One more thing, I guess if Gary Neville was still in the squad, he would say one or two things about this whole nonsense. These players need to grow some backbones.
@RadLegion
Agreed, but that’s just how players are these days, unfortunately.
It is extremely sad that Wayne Rooney, a TEAM MATE of the victim in the whole case, is not even siding him. HAVE YOU NO SENSE WAYNE? you do know that you’re still coming back to play WITH him right?
sometimes i wonder if one of you blokes is actually gary neville under an alias.
