I always find it odd when Liverpool fans come on this blog and comment on our love for Rooney, when he’s a scouser. They tend to get fairly excited about it, as if we haven’t worked out where Rooney is from.
But Rooney’s latest comments sum it up for me. Yes, he’s a scouser in the sense that he’s from Merseyside, but he’s not Liverpool, he’s Everton. When we talk about scousers, when we ask if Merseyside are watching when we’re winning, we’re talking about the red lot, not the blues, obviously.
Rooney hates Liverpool FC, just like Gary and just like us.
“I’m very excited about the match,” Rooney said. “I grew up an Everton fan, my whole family are Everton fans and I grew up hating Liverpool – and that hasn’t changed. I think coming to Old Trafford will be a difficult game for them. They know they need to win, they need the three points. I’m sure they will be up for it and we certainly will be too. It will certainly end Liverpool’s chances if we win and that’s why we’re looking forward to it. I think if we beat Liverpool we’ll probably end their chances of winning the League but there’s still Chelsea plugging away. So we have to keep playing. It won’t be won yet.”
Essentially, we could lose at the weekend and we’re four points ahead with a game in hand. That game in hand won’t be played until the end of April when we take on Portsmouth at home. We then have a further five matches to play until the end of the season, three of them at home.
I personally fancy us for the win, I always do against them. Every now and again they’ll have their performance of the season and get the three points, but you have to consider they haven’t even scored at Old Trafford in four years, and that was an O’Shea own goal! Whilst it’s a reassurance to go in to the game knowing we can afford to lose whilst they have to win, you know our players won’t be thinking that way. They’ll come out looking for the points, trying to wrap up the title as soon as possible so they can focus on the other trophies to fill the cabinet. Game on!

Quote of the year, “I grew up hating liverpool-and that hasn’t changed.”
-Rooney
brilliant! absolutley love it, well done wazza!
Well said Wazza!Now score against them and show them your ears again!
Get in there Rooney!!
If when you sing we hate scousers why ot sing we hate kopites ?
If when you sing are you watching merseyside do you not sing are you watching Liverpool ?
Rooney does not need any added motivation for this game.i just love d Gary celebration when Rio scored d winner at OT in injury time against d scousers in 05/06
Manchester Utd are a one man team. He’s called Alex Ferguson.
As soon as he’s gone. You will be sad. Won’t you?
Thats the spirit Wazza!
Sure he’ll be a loss Peroni, but you’ll be in a position to do nowt either.
The Everton – Man U cameraderie wasn’t much in evidence during the battle of Anfield Road a couple of years back when Rooney ran the gauntlet of hate precisely because he had joined Man Utd. Check out this link if you need any confirmation http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4280991.stm The truth is that Rooney would join Liverpool tomorow if they offered enough money and then turn around and say how much he has always hated Mancs.
It’s the end of an era for you guys my friend!
It’s ok. Don’t worry. You’ve a great team for now.
So enjoy it whilst it lasts.
Ferguson is a great manager. But he’s irreplaceable.
Your team will gently but surely start to lose the dominance.
It’s inevitable, Don’t you think?
Im only stating to you, what you already fear.
No one is to say for sure Peroni.Didn’t Liverpool do well with Shankley and Paisley?You never know if there is someone out there who might take over and continue the tradition.But at the moment United fans don’t have to worry about that.This season could be a memorable one.
Peroni you bell.
Are you trying to get us to admit we might not be as dominant without Fergie?
We don’t fear it, we know it’s coming. We’re basking in the sun which has blazed for decades – and Fergie’s parting gift will be a superb team/squad/club and the fact that he’s knocked the Scousers off their fuckin’ perch.
What happens next is anyone’s guess, but we’re best placed. And we’ll keep the red flag flying whatever happens.
Cock off you knob!
Winner for Anderson this weekend!
As I said earlier, you are not in a position to do anything about it. We have a great setup, in case you didnt notice in you obvious short sightedness, which is capable of continuing our history of success. I, If I was you, would concern myself in how my team can improve. Not waste my time scaremongering pointlessy in places I am not wanted.
So juvenile
peroni, it started from Sir Matt’s days, its not gonna end after Sir Alex. We dont want to replace him but simply get another character to continue his work. Its in the club’s DNA to do what we are doing whether its SAF at the helms or not.
I frequently have to go to Liverpool through work and have also been to Melwood, Liverpool’s training ground and Bellefield, Everton’s old training ground.The atmosphere at both training grounds was completely different.The staff at Bellefield were warm and friendly,all the players said hello and I used to chat with Nigel Marytn,Andy Johnson,David Moyes and even held a door open for a guy called Rooney who was recovering from a foot injury and was bringing his puppy in to show the players.He said thank you and for a split second I felt on the same level as a superstar. I think this atmosphere was down to Moyes who I think is down to earth and doesn’t forget his roots. Contrast this with an hour spent at Melwood where a more odious bunch of twats you could never meet.Apart from the security Gaurd who let me in every other member of staff looked at me like I was the shit on their shoe.Their was an air of superiority about the place that really pissed me off. Perhaps I am biased because I dislike them anyway but I think the same can be said about their fans.Liverpool fans talk shit and don’t know whether they love Rafa or hate him.I find them to be the most fickle fans I have ever come across.One good win and it’s gonna be their year,one defeat and they want to string the yanks up from the nearest vandalised lampost.They talk about Hillsborough and understandably mourn their dead but are completely oblivious to the fact that they contributed to the deaths of many Juventus fans at Heysel.They talk and sing about their Europeon cup wins but have no comprehension that the UEFA ban imposed on English clubs after Heysel probably denied Everton winning the Europeon cup the year after. They were certainly good enough to win it.
Everton fans on the other hand know their football,don’t think too big,seem happy enough with Moyes and are knowledgable enough about football to have a decent conversation about.They deserve a bit of success.Without the UEFA ban in 1985 Everton could have gone on to bigger things but no-one will ever know due to the scum on the other side of Stanley Park.I do hope that if arab investors are looking at Liverpool, they see sense and throw their oil millions in Everton’s direction.It would be worth every penny to shut the dreamers from Anfield up
Can’t blame Rooney, I ll also have hated Liverpool if I grew up been an Everton fan !!!
Shankly used to say the Best 2 teams on the merseyside are Liverpool’s A team and Liverpool B team..
I feel your pain Wazza.
Peroni… you bellend what a dopey twat you are coming on here….typical dipper fan, thick as shit and twice as nasty
and Spud…. you utterly gormless moron, what a clever witty post you put on here, not…..cunt.
Difference between scouse red and scouse blue?
Simple…. You need a brain and intelligence to appreciate what Moyes and the toffees are trying to achieve, whilst the red shite are full of fucking prima donna’s led by a fat useless spanish cunt who is going to fuck off to a bigger and better euro club in the summer……
Good post smokebreaksteve. In my opinion the dippers fans are similar to the Leeds scum for their fickleness, ignorance and ungraciousness (if thats a word) in defeat.
Quality statement from Wayne, five live were up in arms about it tonight. I really can see us tearing the vermin apart on Saturday. We are still waiting for the game when our huge amount of possession and chances on goal pay dividends. Five nil anyone?
Well said Smokebreaksteve. I live in Liverpool btw, and I have to say youre right.
Spud,Peroni, why are you posting on this site. I joined ROM to have intelligent banter with like-minded people. If I wanted to chat with illiterate cunts like you I’d go for a brew down at the local bail hostel.Don’t you even read your posts before you press the ‘Submit My Comment’ box.Why don’t you go on an LFC forum for fuck’s sake.There must be a lot of chat about how fantastic Rafa is this week.Different story next week though.I heard a rumour that because Berbatov didn’t score last night Ferguson wants to sell him back to Spurs for £15million.If you want to take on United Fans at the difficult art of football banter make sure you have more to back it up with than a 4-0 nil win over a dysfuntional club like Real Madrid who made West Brom look like Galactico’s.You must lead sad lives if you post shit on your biggest rival’s website’s instead of intelligent posts on your own club’s site.Oh, sorry you don’t do ‘intelligent’ do you.
Thanks Edwin I take it because you live in Liverpool you will have heard what I have said many times before.I really meant what I said about not knowing what could have been as regards Everton.Hyperthetically, if English clubs had been kicked out of Europe again for the way Liverpool fans behaved in Athens in 2007,i.e mugging their own fans for tickets and storming into the ground without tickets,ironically creating the same safety hazards as Hillsborough, then we would have never known what this generation of United players could have achieved in Europe.Everton’s squad was slowly dismantled and vital income lost.I feel sorry for their fans and understand their bitterness towards Liverpool.
mmmm….
The Mancs are riled!
Goodnite lads!
So sorry for your poor spelling and grammer.
What’s up? Can’t spell?
Didn’t they teach you English in Manchester?
Whoops forgot….
You’re from London, and have never been to pretty Manchester!
Nite nite!
As a lifelong Evertonian I look forward to Rooney’s trips back home so that we can tell hime what a money grabbing little c**t he is. We all know that some footballers will follow the money while others play with their heart. Rooney pretended to be the loyal sort but walked the first time someone gave him a payrise. I’ve no doubt he’d do the same again if Chelsea, Man City or even Liverpool came calling with a pile of cash.
“I grew up an Everton fan, my whole family are Everton fans and I grew up hating Liverpool – and that hasn’t changed” – well he may still claim to hate Liverpool but he’s best mates with Stevie G so I guess he hates all of Liverpool except maybe the players? Or maybe he’s too thick to even realise what he’s saying and forgets that he’s claiming loyalty to Evertonians, including his family, that he betrayed at the first opportunity.
Get over it. He was a little kid when he wore that always a blue t-shirt. At 18-years-old he was given the opportunity to play for Manchester United. Now he has two league titles and a European Cup to show for it. That doesn’t making him a money grabbing cunt.
Sorry Scott – 18 years old or not he’s trying to play on that loyalty now – “I grew up an Everton fan” he says and then tries to fake old loyalties that he walked out on.
If he’d been the kind of player who’d never wrapped himself in the flag or claimed to be a “one of us” then we’d have said goodbye without a second glance.
But he didn’t do that – “once a blue, always a blue” was what he claimed and that’s why he’s hated now.
Now he’s claiming some kind of affinity with us. “Don’t worry lads – I hate Liverpool too” – he’s saying. Well, he can fuck right off. He may have been 18 but you don’t grow out of treason.
Give it two years and he’ll be a Manchester City player anyway – they’re the new power in Machester now.
He’s not faking old loyalties. He was brought up as an Everton fan. When he was 18 he was given a brilliant opportunity and he rightly grabbed it with both hands.
He did once a blue when he was a youth team player. Like I said, get over it.
He’s saying “don’t worry lads, I hate Liverpool too” to US though isn’t he, not you.
New power in Manchester? What, with Bridge and Bellamy? You sound as deluded as them… and probably just as bitter.
I can’t belive that it is obvious he hates liverpool just as gerrard hates Man U. I hate Man U as well. Tbh Rooney is not actualy world class as u state him he has occasional moments of brilliance. He lacks accelaration good shots tbh a world class striker would come in the form of Torres,Aguero,Anelka,Adbeayor and player like that who have pace can finish and leave a player just standing. Good luck on Saturday hope it is a good game.
“He’s saying “don’t worry lads, I hate Liverpool too” to US though isn’t he, not you. ”
Who’s “US” in this context? The good people of Surrey? That’s one thing you do have in common with Liverpool – hardly a local supporter among either of you. Would be better to play the tie in Guildford and save both sets of supporters a long drive up the M6!
As for Manchester City, well United were happy to show the world the power of money in buying up all the talent over the last few years. Having bought your success you can hardly complain when City’s money talks and they buy it from you. And they will… Remember that next time you fill your tank…
Moyes is a brilliant manager who has done great things with Everton – he’ll never get the chance to step up there so he will be moving on to Utd one day. It’s a real shame that Everton won’t get the investment but such is life.
While I’m talking about managers Wenger is the greatest manager the premiership has ever seen – without any question. Now I hate Arsenal as much as the next man but hes the man who has created the best football we’ve ever seen, he’s bought small and grown players time and time again. If you contrast this with Ferguson you see lots of zeros, a random success rate – but both can share the ability to test and blood new players. In Fergusons case it’s one every so often, with Wenger it’s a regular occurence. Ferguson is a chequebook manager and always will be, Wenger is just brilliant. Only one manager will be missed by this country when they leave, and it wont be Ferguson.
So Rooney hates Liverpool, as does Gary Neville and the rest of you Blah Blah Blah. In fact you hate us so much all you do is tell us even when you’re playing someone else, you have songs about us go on about our ‘perch’ it just proves you’re still jealous of us. We don’t need to sing about you as our club has a heart and a soul and an unequaled history of success. When you see the Kop on a European night no one can match it, everyone leaves in awe of it with their tails between their legs. I hope your lot are next. The cycle is coming to an end and even if you win the title this season we’ll still be on our perch with probably another European Cup to boot. We are slowly improving every year with a good young core of players. Your best player is leaving for Madrid next season and two of your other best players are on the verge of retirement – as is your manager. Your team is not as good as you think it is and we’re due a result at your place. Say we do win on Saturday I wonder how long it will take for you to crumble with the fixture congestion you’re facing? I think Arsenal with all their big guns back will take points off you as could City and one or two teams fighting for survival – remember West Ham? Rafa has won the title in Spain before with a similar gap at this stage of the season so we won’t give up. In the mean time just keep hating, you may get a foot on our perch for a little while but we’ll be strong enough to kick you off soon enough.
Dec – for someone who thinks they’re not obsessed with us and all you need to do is focus on your own club and great history… you haven’t half given a lot of thought to Manchester United.
Thanks for your concern… but I’m sure there were plenty of Liverpool fans saying the same thing when Cantona left… when Beckham left… when Keane left… when Ruud left…
It might be hard to imagine it, being a Liverpool fan and all, but it is possible to be successful without one or two players. I understand why that would be a difficult concept for you though.
Not difficult at all Scott seeing as I have seen Liverpool win more league titles and European cups than you have united. I’ve also seen our dominance come to an end and know that yours is now reaching that point. The dynasty will end when whiskey nose, Giggs and Scholes leave the club which isn’t far off. I’m not obsessed with Utd, I’m obsessed with Liverpool as are the majority of your fans judging by the content of the stretford end hit parade
Looks who’s talking here… Once Blue is alwaz Red… i’m so sorry for Everton fans for the beleive they had on Rooney during his everton days. YNWA…
peroni is stupid…he tried to scare us with something nonsense..
at least we have fergie a.k.a the best manager in the world for now..and i’m 100% sure his legacy will continue when someone else takes over in the future..
peroni, you are the one who should be scared..u have the worst manager in the world a.k.a mr rafa ‘beneath’us..such a stupid manager will bring your team nowhere..and you will keep counting to win the league for years..and years to come..
Blankety Blank
You honestly saying you rate Wenger above Fergie?
You claim Wenger is better because he brings through young players and doesn’t spend like Ferguson, you forgotten that Golden Generation of players Fergie brought through the club? The one that one the treble?
Obviously after all our success we have the money to spend, what do you want Fergie to do? Put it in the bank and save it for a rainy day? No, instead he spent it well, only making the odd faux-pas (but doesn’t every manager make some mistakes in the transfer market?) and adding the right players to fit the system he wanted.
The fact is that Fergie has rebuilt 3 different sides which have all dominated, whereas Wenger created one class side, and now hides behind his youth policy as he is scared that he’ll be called out on the lack of trophies travelling Arsenal’s way. Maybe if he tried keeping the players he ‘brought through’ when they hit their peak instead of letting them go, they wouldn’t have spent the last 5 years or so in ‘transition’.
I’m not saying that I don’t rate Wenger, as it is clear that he is a very good coach that gets his teams playing great football, which I respect a great deal. However he made one great team, then became a youth coach and has a side that doesn’t seem to be any closer to winning the league each year (getting further away even). If Wenger used the cash he had and spent it big on some more experienced stars like Fergie, and blended them with his youngsters, he may have had more success after his “invincible” team was dismantled.
Haha! Wonderful post! Next you’re gonna say Ronaldo loves Man U more than $$$ =)
i can’t believe fans of other teams still churn out the, “you’re from london routine”. i was on the tube to wembley for the league cup, and spurs were the same. this is when it was obviously mancs chanting.
there’s no denying we have fans from all around the country at home games, but you telling me there’s only 30,000 paying football fans (deluded, sad, MASSIVE, blue cunts) in manchester?
alwaysblue, all your fans come from merseydive? whoopee. nowt to shout about. murdering cunts the lot of you.
M33
Rooney, we love you to bits. Score one to shut the L’pool Spanish waiter up!
well, LFC fans here, just fuck off will you? just go lick rafa’s arse or something, or find an early excuse when we dismantle you at OT.
I’ll give you one right now to help ease the pain of thinking;
- ‘torres is not fully fit, just wait and see if he’s fit we would have beaten you!”
I’m not a manc to be honest, I’m a spaniard, but I do know how United fans cherish to beat Lpool, I’ve been with mancs and they’re great, I’ve been with Everton fans and they are friendly. And I’ve been with a lot of pool fans, most of them a disgrace. Fickle stupid minded cunts in the highest order.
Proof of their stupidity:

-It’s Grammar Stupid cunt. You can’t spell dipshit.
lol, well said trashtalk united.
As an United I don’t know how all pool’s fans always said when fergie’s gone it’ll be the end of the reign of United.
They have to find something to be optimistic about, don’t they?
Go wazza we r proud of u
Hey Peroni, the word is grammar (science of the sounds), Why don’t ya stick to Loserpool sites. As for decLFC bet ya shittin ya pants
this record of yours won’t be yours at the end of the season, as for our fans not coming from Manchester you want to visit South Wales the’re all fuckin Loserpool fans. Take comfort in the fact that Notts County were
once a big club just like you used to be, long time ago mind,just like you
no1kopite said – “The truth is that Rooney would join Liverpool tomorow if they offered enough money and then turn around and say how much he has always hated Mancs.”
Are you for real? Grow up mate.
dec hows it reaching that point? in a season where we are currently breaking records and on the way to equalling all those league titles won?? Some of you scousers are so disillusioned, need to get into the real world lads.
grammer or grammar? prick…
hope we put you in your place tomorrow, if we don’t its no big deal still seven points (after pompey game) ahead…
yeah, even if we do beat uited tomorrow we wont win the league, but united wont win the champo league or FA cup, when ferguson leaves you wont win the league, as well as when ronaldo leave to go to madrid (which he eventually will) you will be a UEFA cup team, look at the beginning of the season, when you didnt have ronaldo, as he was injured, werent in the top half
I’m a Liverpool fan and don’t get why the media are making a fuss about what Rooney said about hating Liverpool. It’s not exactly news, as a Man U and former Everton player you wouldn’t expect anything else anyway.
Anyway, I’m getting ready to throw my phone at him if he scores :O)

If you’re going to come on here acting jack the lad trying to be a “grammar” nazi shouldn’t you check your own spelling before hand? you illiterate waste of space.
It is no different to what Gerrard said, “Growing up in Huyton, I was taught to loathe United, their fans, players, manager, kit-man, mascot — everyone associated with Old Trafford.
And during 90 minutes of football I want United to die.”
Davis Quinn, Originality isn’t your strong point is it?
ret how do you know united won win the f.a cup or champs league, they have a much better chance of winning any of those than the pool do of the league. united are in the position where all their eggs aren’t in one basket…
without gerrard or torres regularly in your side i doubt liverpool would get into the uefa cup…..
I absolutely love that little scally!!
whos this fat over rated striker that hates liverpool?
DecLFC – all this obsession with United must be making you hungry. Why don’t you rummage through the bins for a dead cat and eat it, you cunt.
peroni- ur an idiot …
@redgister: Vronin?? Probably why he wouldn’t come back to Liverpool even after his loan spell…
I bet shrek hates us even more now!!!!!
Owned in your own back yard!!!
Bump!
Thanks Wazza!
have that you thick fat cnt
Can we play you every week ?? Thank you Mr Rooney for your well timed comments.
Come on the REAL mighty reds.
sorry lads
Quiet here tonight isn’t it?
…
Yes, it is rather quiet…
I guess our little manc friends are licking their rather sore wounds today!!!
I’m sure they’ll be back to their volatile best soon enough though…
Still 4-1 at home is going to hurt for a long time…
Not to mention an EASY 6 points for us for a change!!!
When I didn’t think Wayne Rooney could get better he says this. Love that boy.
39 lives + 96 lives = 115 years cursed will not win the league nuff said!!!
