Wayne Rooney, who caused a fuss last season by telling a national newspaper he “hated” Liverpool FC, has today confessed that when he was growing up as an Everton fan, he used United’s success to wind up any Liverpool fans he came across.
“United won most of the trophies in the 1990s and for me, as an Everton fan, it was a chance to have a go back at the Liverpool fans,” said Rooney. “When the Liverpool supporters started to bother me, I could always go on about United winning the league. Then, once I started playing for Everton and England, I could see the way United played. I knew a few of the players through England and they would tell me how good it was. The manager is great as well, someone any player would want to play for. All those things were factors in me coming to the club.”
nice, talking the right talk, now he’s got to walk the walk, score the goals, get the “Gongs” and not go to Madrid…
Off the topic for a while

Is it true about the news?
Rooney will become a United legend. Guarenteed to score against Chelsea. Can see us winning that match as we are underdogs
On another issue…i wonder what Fergie is going to do about this:

Though it didnt stop Cole and Sheringham playing together. I’m just surprised VDS isn’t helping our keepers
Looks like PiG is in for something from the Gaffer. He should have kept his balls in his pants if it is true…
This is all well and good Scott and a bit of an ol’ laugh etc …
But I for one am bitterly disappointed with all the recent pre-hype talk before the last 3 Pool matches for Utd to play as poorly, without any heart, spirit, clarity or drive against Liverpool!
It sickened me to watch the last few matches and not because of loosing but the way we lost, when the talk of the players was up for it but the show on the day for everyone was such a let down …. Grrrrrr
Benitez has SAF’s number tactically and that hurts!
Aidan
Already a legend this boy. Smart plan though! Fuck liverpool FC
@Siyyid
“Can see us winning that match as we are underdogs”
We are the underdogs? Come now, honestly?
ROONEY LEGEND.
Sir_Ryan_Giggs_For_PM
of course we are underdogs
Chelsea are unbeaten at home this season
We have been conceding many chances to the opposition
We have not played well since the Spurs and City matches (where we still conceded 4 goals)
Chelsea are on form and playing with confidence
We haven’t had a settled team all season
Nevertheless…I think we can pull this one off..as long as SAF doesn’t start changing our tactics to accommodate Chelsea
well said wazza give those cunts what they have to hear. always saying it’s their year it’s been groundhog day at merseyside for 20 YEARS!
Fucking legend. Love the kid. As for Sunday yes I reckon we are under dogs, purely for the reasons Sayyid said. I too am confident though and I am sure Wazza will bag .
@ Vishnu
C’mon mate, why the fuck would he join the fascists?Just cuz Ronnie thought so? I dont think there are too many players out there who care less about them than Wazza imo…
Arise Sir Wayne Rooney- a decade from now
Wazza is a Legend! Spot on fuck the scousers.
UTD 2-0 CHELSKI. (Rooney, Owen)
Cant beleive they got their transfer ban suspended to.
@Sayyid
All of what you said is true except i would never call Manchester United the underdogs. Ever. That’s the only thing i had a problem with in your post. It will definitely be a tough match though and yeah we should stick to what we’re best at ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK
wayne scores the winner against chelsea, and rocks the cradle to dedicate the winning goal to lil’ kai rooney!
i hope it goes something like that!
who doesn’t love wazza!?
well beat chelsea, we always do
Rooney. Legend.
Thank god we’re not liverpool
im confident for sunday like, 2-0 nil wud be nice, rooney,valencia.
be hard to keep a clean sheet tho,it mite be key to victory, a draw is good result tho.considering they gotta go to hemirates ,wastelands and shanfield in league and well be playin any tough games at OT.
MUST WIN GAME,GET IT RIGHT SAF,PLEASE
A common tactic amoungst the Everton fans I know. They hate us but still tell the dirties that they want us to win the league!
Rooney has already cemented his status as a legend as far as I am concerned. I fucking love the guy. I get the greatest joy at seeing him score for United, more than anyone else. That’s not being unkind to anyone else, but that is how I feel. Scott, or anyone else for that matter, please pull up a collection of his greatest goals for United, including his winner in front of the spineless kop back in January 2005. Thanks.
I just ask myself how we gonna play against chelski…i hope we will win, and play much better than against Liverpool, cause that game we can t say that we played.
What a legend
