“Everybody knows he had a massive row with Fergie after the Liverpool game and was then left out against Fulham. It is an ongoing problem, but if anyone can deal with it, it is Sir Alex.”
Mark YSB Lawrenson gave an “exclusive” about a break down in the relationship between Wayne Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson. Rooney had just been named Man of the Match for England, after scoring twice, and Lawrenson made out as though our young striker had been denied the opportunity to do this for us the previous weekend thanks to a falling out with our ruthless manager.
Turns out he was talking about of his arse.
“I was made aware of it,” Ferguson said. “Absolute nonsense. I don’t know where that came from, but the revealing part of it is ‘everybody knows’, but I didn’t know and I was in there. These people self-promote but who the hell’s bothered about it? Nobody followed it up which tells you everything because if there was any truth you’d have found out.”
Given United looked a different team once Rooney came on the field it begs the question why didn’t he start then? If it wasn’t a row with the boss that kept Rooney out of the team, then why the fuck wasn’t he playing? It’s hard to believe we’d have lost had Rooney been on the park when Scholesy got sent off!

Scott it was tactical.If Fergie wanted to play 2 strikers up front and had a row with Wayne,he would have started Tevez next to Berbatov.Fergie wanted to go with Ronaldo and Berbatov up front,plain and simple.As far as Lawrenson is concerned,he talked out of his arse as you said.
I have asked myself this question too, and the only thing I can think of, is that Rooney really had a small “fight” with Fergie. Rooney have been in brilliant form, and by far our best attacker this season, so if it was tactical, Fergies´losing it…
Fergie should of gone with the same team that smashed them in the cup.
Sorry, but what does YSB stand for?
9jmac-it means you scouse bastard!
Lawrenson is a twat! the whole motd team are twats!
9jmac- YSB means you scouse bastard.
Mrmyagki, i’ve started to mute the idiots, they always state the bleeding obvious, ABU twats. But they are not the only ones, ie Setanta ffs.
I think it was tactical and trying to rest him knowing the 2 England games were coming up…
Actually I thought we looked pretty good in the last 10 minutes of the first half – once we got ourselves together with one player less. In fact I think that set up a better 2nd half because it tired Fulham a bit and made them realise that our 10 men were still capable of dominating the game.
Fergie left him out because he was shite against the dippers. Has was Carrick and Tevez who were also left out of the Fulham game. Did they have a fall out with SAF too? Did they fuck but because Rooney was dropped people have too look too much into it! Mark Bumboy Lawrenson what a cock.
don’t you mean ‘out of his arse’? (In case you want to change it)
In Fergie we trust
