1 point i cant get my head around however is when everton fans start posting shit like – it took him 4 yrs to reach the level he had when he was playing for us ! seriously , that has to be the ‘thick scouser’ mentality evertom was referring to . he was a prodigious talent when he played for them while he is a cultured , world class footballer with us today . end of . who knows how good he would have been had he stayed there ? he has just followed a normal developmental graph and is still progressing . your rants make no sense whatsoever!

….looking forward to his 100th goal at goodison….

He knew he was a great player, Everton knew he was a great player and Sir Alex obviously knew (hence the £30M) I cannot blame him for wanting to 'better' his career, but dont kid yourself that he is a united fan. I bet he still looks at the everton score at half time (not that its good news at the moment). If Arsenal were the 'in form' side at the time, he would have gone there instead and he would be kissing their badge to try to retaliate to the 'MINORITY' of fans who sing shite about him. Bill Kenright has since said that Rooney rang him in tears saying that he wanted to go, so I dont buy into the 'Everton sold him out' stance or that his agent 'forced' him to go. He was still a kid and the pull of more money than his family could have dreamed of and the chance to play for united and win trophys was too much. You must remember that he is essentially a thick scouser, if you put in a shell suit and on a BMX back in croxteth he would still not look out of place. So when he comes out with comments or actions that are badly advised, you always have to put the 'thick scouser' element into the equation before you take it seriously. Also, Everton have benefitted tremendously from it. Overnight we stopped being the Rooney show and the other 10 players had a chance to stake their claim, we finished 4th the year after he left! I would even go as far as to say that he was not the most important player for us at that time, the unsung Lee Carsley, was far more important. (just look at the state the defence is in now without him - I bet no one thought we would ever need him so much when he was first dragged in from Coventry) Sir Alex has been the making of the man, not the player. I dont think anybody shaped him as a player, not Moysey, not Everton youth, it's raw talent and it can't be taught. I love the fact that he came from Everton and I love the fact that he is still an evertonian, I have previously said that he is a c*nt for the way that he left everton, but that is my only critisism. I guess I secretly wish for him to return one day for the club that he loved (loves?) but a general 'tip of the cap' towards Everton occasionaly may do him the world of good. I have never heard Tim Howard or Gary Neville talk in a derogitry way about Man Utd, there is simply 'no need' for it. Mind you they only left cos they couldn't get a game??? United are a great side and have won everything recently and yes, i am a blue manc when they play the shite, but draw a graph over history (128 years) and achievements and we are still a great club, to not recognise this shows ignorance and no education. An example of this: Chelsea supporters! Any football fan worth his salt realises why Rooney went to united.

One of the things that makes me a Rooney fan is how passionately he loves United. When he's on the field, whether he scores or not, he plays for the shirt. Everton fans hate the fact that Rooney was their golden boy before he became our golden boy and also the fact that since he's been with us, he's got quite a good scoring record against them. Though I think Everton fans should be grateful he didn't join Liverpool instead. I think the reason that Everton fans hate Rooney so much is because Rooney is Everton’s version of Beckham.

I wrote about it back in August (<a href="http://therepublikofmancunia.com/what-do-we-expect-from-ron-would-you-leave-real-for-united/" rel="nofollow">Click here</a>). My problem with Ronaldo was that he dragged it out for so long, failing to commit one way or another, not that he wanted to go to Real Madrid. So, point the finger elsewhere if you're going to label people hypocrites who lack understanding. Rooney kisses our badge when we play you to piss you off, after years of hurling abuse at him because he wanted to better his career. You claimed to love him, but if you did, you'd have patted him on the back and wished him luck (the same way we have done with Nicky Butt, Phil Neville and the like, who are all applauded and sung for when they return to Old Trafford. Even bloody Jonathan Greening got a cheer when we played WBA this weekend! lol). The more sensible Everton fans realised they were never going to cling on to him and were happy to see such a quality player emerge from their youth system. Sir Alex Ferguson came knocking and said he wanted to sign him. Should Rooney have done a Shearer? Whilst it's admirable to sacrifice success for the sake of your boyhood club, no player deserves to get chastised because they want to play at the highest level and win the biggest trophies on offer. Your fans sing about him dying, and whether you find that moronic or not, it doesn't change that it happens. Rooney is entitled to do whatever he wants in retaliation to that.

You find it acceptable to change allegiences but you lot criticised Ronaldo for wanting to play for Real? Would that be the same Real he adored as a young boy?Once again hypocrisy and proving your lack of understanding. I don't condone the 'die' chants - its as moronic as it gets frankly. But equally Rooney should have the sense not to inflame things further - or in your blindness do you not see that some of his comments have caused a part of this trouble (not least his libeless and untruthful (so he fits right in with your lot)comments about David Moyes and his disregard for Bill Kenwright who did him no wrong)? We're no mugs either and if you find it OK to libel someone then that's your view. He's been proved a liar and a fool (albeit a great player) and is a sad little whinger. I don't want him not to do his best for Utd but he should not be so nieve as to expect his transfer - where HE said 'I'm not going anywhere' - and then left coupled to his treatment of our manager ; the same guy who made his career (like it or not Wayne do you think you'd be playing for Utd if Moyes hadn'g given you your debut?)- to upset people who care about Everton? Now who's being 'remarkable'?????? Get your facts straight before you open your mouth lad - but I would 'nt expect that of people who sing Hillsborough songs at Goodison........

There's a big difference here. United fans don't sing songs about Phil dying (to the contrary, we still sing his name at Old Trafford), so he has no reason to try and piss United fans off or feel the need to connect with a new club after being disowned by his boyhood club. What do you expect Rooney to do? Your fans have treated him like total shite, all because he wanted to better his career. Do you expect him to still love you after the shit you sing about him? He's no mug and I find it remarkable you expect him to behave any differently than he does, after how you've behaved since he left your club as a kid.
