Wayne Rooney has been struggling in front of goal over the past few weeks, despite having several very good chances in each game he plays. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo has been stealing the show, scoring goals in every game he plays, and is rapidly approaching the goalscoring record set by George Best. I suggested that possibly [...]
Ever since Wayne Rooney emerged on to the football scene as a teenager there has been a lot of hype surrounding him. It started with the Everton fans. They might remember a cheeky 11 year old ball boy who chipped Neville Southall in the warm up before the Merseyside derby back in 1996, who went [...]
Back in November, United drew 2-2 with Arsenal at the Emirates, a point the gooners celebrated heartily. The first goal came just before half time, after Ronaldo played the ball in to Wayne Rooney. Rooney flicked the ball past Almunia, taking a deflection off William Gallas.It was announced earlier this week the the Dubious Goals [...]
Manchester United beat Aston Villa 2-0 in the Third Round of the FA Cup, with Wayne Rooney making all the difference in the victory. Before coming on the field, it looked as though the game would end in a scheduled replay at Old Trafford. Rooney was involved in the build up to the first goal, [...]
“Sell all your tickets, you couldn’t sell all your tickets, sell all your tickkkkkets, you couldn’t sell all your tickets” the away end boomed at Villa Park yesterday. Six thousand reds travelled to Birmingham for our FA Cup 3rd Round game, taking up the full ticket allocation, whilst some four thousand seats were left empty [...]
Wayne Rooney was a devout Everton fan as a little lad. He travelled to Wembley as a member of the Youth Team and celebrated as hard as any Evertonian when his side finished the day 1-0 winners against United in the 1995 FA Cup final. He went from strength to strength in their team and [...]
Wayne Rooney lead our team out as captain in our last European qualifying game against Roma. As will be sung tomorrow, it is a case of “once a blue always a red” for Wayne Rooney, who seems destined to see out his career with us. Despite the criticism Rooney faces for his hot head and [...]
Manchester United put on an impressive display against Roma last night in the Champions League, drawing 1-1 with the team currently ranked second in Italy. The team that went to Rome was much changed from the one that faced Derby at the weekend in their 4-1 win. With United already through to the next round [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve had a “favourite player”. By favourite, I mean the player who you defend until you’re blue in the face (regardless of their wrong doings), the player you could watch for hours on end, the player you admire and brag about in equal amounts. It seems a pretty childish thing [...]
It is no surprise that United struggle without Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, but it is a surprise that they struggle so much, writes Football365.com. I don’t like blaming injuries, and whilst I think there can be a lot of truth to that argument at times, I think it rarely gets you off the hook [...]
Over four years ago, I remember watching North West tonight and watching a group of lads kicking a football around on a concrete playground. The reporter was saying that one of those lads was tipped to play for his country in a friendly against Australia the following day. He was built like a man, powering [...]
As the Tevez saga dragged on this summer, more than enough column inches were given to a hot debate. Would Rooney and Tevez be able to play together? Both players are short and stocky, with strength and quick feet their prized attributes. Whilst Rooney can bomb down the field and keep up with Ronaldo if [...]
Wayne Rooney scored a magnificent goal for England last night, taking the ball on his chest, then powerfully striking it past the helpless goalkeeper. Despite scoring few of these goals, it’s the kind of goal you associate our striker with scoring. When he catches the ball right, I can’t image there are many goalkeepers who [...]
I was fortunate enough to be at Old Trafford to watch the lads batter Chelsea last weekend. At half time, I watched the highlights, with Rooney coming close to scoring in the opening minutes, with Mikel getting sent off for his foul on Evra, Tevez clinching his first United goal, Joey Cole bringing Evra down [...]
Twelve months ago we grabbed the attention of the Premiership when we thrashed Fulham 5-1 on the opening day of the season. I wrote about this game, and called it the “ideal start”, something which we needed to show people we were serious about winning our title back. So as I left Old Trafford yesterday, [...]
