True Red, here here, get outaa here , Ingurlannd, lmao
Should feel ashamed for saying that wayne.very silly and childish.
Backlash is a coming.
HOW LONG BEFORE WE SEE AN EFFIGY OF ROONEY HANGING FROM SOME “PREMIER” LEAGUE OUTPOST NEXT SEASON JUST GOES TO SHOW THE LAD IS NOT AFRAID TO VOICE HIS OPINIONS MANCHESTER^ENGLAND IN THAT ORDER (COULDNT FIND TO THE PWER OF SIGN ON COMP)
AIG THAT IS NOT CHILDISH THAT IS HOW IT IS
Personally, I wish he had lashed out against the rags rather than the fans. It’s not the fans that have burndened him and everyone else in that locker room with so many expectations.
Anyway, good to see that Fabio knows how to keep Rooney calm…
Stupid thing to say Waz, especially as you deserved it. I would’ve pulled you off at about 60 minutes.
Thank God it was only for that useless bunch, but we don’t want to see you playing crap like that when it really matters – for United I mean.
Beckham was England’s best player – at least he looked good.
You tell’em Wayne!
He has matured remarkably since the WC incident in 06, but there’s still the odd flash of anger which makes him do/say silly things. He is spot on but should have been more professional and said nothing. We’ll get behind Wayne, no matter what.
On one hand England were utterly dire tonight, looking like a bunch of overpaid, inflated egos, not arsed about the game or the tournament ‘cos they’re missing valuable time on their yachts in the south of France. And for that, they deserve the crticism.
On the other hand, booing your team off the pitch is pretty classless and is hardly going to inspire the players to delay their jollys any further by giving their all against Slovenia.
Depressing stuff all in all. Playing for England is turning into the footballing equivilant of playing for GB in the Davis Cup. Futile and thankless.
Rooney is very silly. He and the whole England team were crap. People spend alot of money to fly to SA and watch that shite. There was no passion and no talent on show tonight. The England ladies would have performed better. I under he is frustrated, but the man has lost touch with reality. He get paid four times more in week than the average England fan gets in a year. iF I WAS THERE I’D FUCKING BOO. Fortunately I’m not that daft.
Personally I can’t stand this england nonesense and I hope they go out. We’re a bunch of cloggers compared to Spain and brazil who teach their players to keep the ball and no hit it up a big strong donkey like heskey.
Scholes is the only player in the last ten years who has played for England and would have a chance at getting in the brazil team. Scholes is still better at linking up the play and controlling the game than fat frank will ever be. Scholes on crutches would do better than that over rated piece of turf.
True. Which is why United > England
The real cunts here are his “own” media that made a point of showing this to the nation and making a villain out of him. Engkand were shite but the fans just showed what classless twats they are. Come back to United Wayne and Pat!
He’s got fire in his belly, this one.
In all seriousness though, it’s not going to come any good out of this. I just hope that Wayne can home in one piece ready for the season in a proper team – Man United. Fuck England.
He’ll get it in the neck if engerland struggle next time out… retire from international football lad, and play for fans that love you and will follow you through whatever may come, not like those twats…
Spot on with your Choose Ingerlernd T-shirt, Scott. Nevertheless I suppose this result will make them stick together and come through with a decent spell in the tournament. Although he hasn`t impressed anyone this season, a man of Carricks type of play is just what they need. A defensive midfielder capable of spreading balls. If Capello is man enough.
Rooney spoke to much in the media leading up to the game and said something about the Algeria team and when time came he never showed up. Jus shut the fuck up and play football.
Rooney is right. Even in United’s poorest times, 3-0 down to Fulham, 4-1 down to Liverpool, whatever, I would never boo my team. It’s disrespectful.
Typical Ingerlund idiots. United are my only team.
that boy rooney makes gerrard look wank
It’s not helped Rooney that so many of his team-mates have been talking him up, including Rio and Gary Neville, all adding to the weight of expectations. He doesn’t look fit and he’s struggling to live up to his billing, and he knows it. The pressure on him is greater than on anyone else in the team, and it’s showing. Just get off his back everyone and change the subject. Let’s all talk about what shite the Liverpool players have been tonight, that’s much more fun. If only Capello had taken Wes Brown and Gary Nev things would be looking up by now.
I don’t care how badly he (or the team) played. You don’t boo your own.
I 100% blame the press for tonights mightmare performance. They put a downer on everything that comes out of the england camp and we could clearly see its having an effect on the players. i think its a disgrace the fans booing the player in the world cup weres the loyality in that eh?
Hahaha a country full of fucking hypocrites. Calling us a one man team all season, now look who’s depending on one man eh? And when he doesn’t deliver, forget about the rest of the big players & captain that performed shit, let’s have a go at Rooney because he had the balls to speak out against the people that booed.
@doubletroiuble:
@godpye:
It’s not that he never showed up, how do you expect him to perform if the service was put to the minimum? Simply put England’s midfield was outclassed again tonight. Barry was way underperformed. His passes were absolutely horrible. Lampard could only pass the ball back. Gerrard wasted a good opportunity when he could have passed the ball early to Rooney who was unmarked.
When Rooney played a bit deep to pick up the ball from the midfield, England went slightly alive again. This shows how much they need a creative midfielder. Why we did not play Joe Cole it’s beyond me.
Come home , Wayne! This is ALL because of That idiot, wearing smart suit & hand in the pocket at all time, don’t have bloody clue what he is doing.. waste of money, time and tv space from all of us… !!
That bloke with designer glasses will pack his millions then will be gone and milk some rich clubs again.. you and me.. will live in misery anyway after shit cup so obvious from start never gonna win this .. so don’t waste your breath on this any more..
I’ll see you and Hernandez scoring goals.. together..at United then we’ll be back to normal.. on High!!
@ Mr Santos
Spot on mate
Ingerlund expects.= and Rooney’s delivered. Delivered their excuse from our hero. How fucking predictable.
They only reason the media showed this is too distract attention from the shite performance. Between now and Slovenia this will be the only talking point. The England Boo Boys have turned booing England into a habit for a while now its pathetic. I can almost guarantee Wayne will get booed before he kicks a ball on Wednesday. He’s played well for United because the service to him has been fantastic the service tonight was shite. He didn’t particularly play well but who did apart from the keeper?
Don’t sweat it Rooney mate, come back to Manchester where you’re loved and appreciated. Let’s hope you have a season like Ronny did after the last world cup. Seige mentality!
I don’t want nobody to misunderstand what i said.. i would’ve felt better if he jus ignored the press and focus on his football. I’m not supporting inglund i’m supporting Rooney
i made a comment about this on one of my blogs, England didn’t deserve anything but boos, I l;ove united and Rooney but he needs to see how poor England were tonight.
This is why Rooney is not mature. He must know that he earns a lot of money, more than anybody of high education. The fans expect a lot. They spend thousands of pounds of their hard earn money to travel to watch them play. I cant say Rooney is right because he is wrong. Got to grow up.
@Boyporgy
too true. That is why Fabio asked him back. Mr Scholes is the best player in the world to have when your 0-0 or 1-0 down, 10 minutes to go,needing a goal. He will control the tempo and direction of play and keep the opposing team boxed in and maximum pressure on. Just what they needed today.
There was nothing from the midfield today.
England fans = shit
some comments on here disappoint me, he deserved to get boo’d? i hope you guys dont boo him when he has a bad game for us, and the rest of our players. thats pathetic support.
I think Capello deserved boos. The players are the bricks, it’s the manager builds the side. Why did England look shit? Three reasons:
1. Wrong player selection. I’m not going to boo Emile Heskey for being Emile Heskey, he’s shit and he knows he is. I’ll boo the twat that picks him every game. Ditto Gerrard and Lampard. You don’t need the same player twice. Also the substitutions were insane. Lennon off? Rooney pulled back into midfield? Bollocks.
2. No shape. 4-4-2 can work but you need shape. Rooney and Heskey were tracking back chasing the ball, so there was nothing up front for England for huge spells of the game. The 4-4-2 became a 4-6-0 and nothing was working. If you look at the Swiss, they played a 4-4-2 and beat Spain with it, and they beat Spain because their front two, even under attack from the best of the best, stayed a front two. so there was the option to break out. Loads of times tonight England were clearing it to nobody, despite never being under serious pressure.
3. Long ball. What the fuck is that in aid of? Why must England continually pretend that the hoof and run is a good tactic? When you’ve got Beckham or Scholes in the team sure, 40 yard pass to feet, no problem. But with these players, and this ball? It’s idiotic. If England kept their shape and made passes they could actually make, we’d not be so shit.
I feel ashamed of the England team tonight. We’ve gone to the biggest stage in the world with pretty much the same setup that didn’t get us into the European cup, that only got us to the world cup because our qualifying group was soft as fairy shit, and we’ve been fucking wank. Not even entertaining with it. Capello is doing nothing new.
It’s the England setup that is to blame, not the players in the main. Apart from Green.
Capello got it wrong in both games… Lennon is a waste and SWP is a damn joke, why keep Joe Cole on the bench and play those losers? Heskey needs to be benched aswell
I think Lennon is quality if he is used right, but he’s not. He can’t really cross too well, but what he can do is take men on, move bloody fast, and fizz low balls into the danger zone. That doesn’t work for England though, because the front two are always AWOL. When Spurs annihilated Wigan most of the damage was done by Lennon and Defoe, they are a lethal team, but Capello only ever has one of them on at once and no idea how to use him. He’s feeble.
you tell em wayne. too good for that england shit.
Fickle fans. Funny how they were so confident when England sailed through the qualifying. This is why United > England, because England fans hold no bond with the players, jus blind expectation.
Rooney was shite. England were shite. Lampard was shite. Gerrard was shite. The whole fucking lot were shite. No need to backlash against the fans, the Ingerland lot were a fucking disgrace and shouldn’t bitch about the fans; if anything they should pay for their tickets. Wankers, the lot of them.
any wonder the players dont give a shite about playing for their country with those so called ‘supporters’. could have at least kept their gobs shut after the run they had in qualifying.
or… imagine the lift theyd have had for the slovenia game if theyd have been cheered off for their efforts, even if they did play shit for a couple of games. fuck ingurlannd. hope rooney retires
Typical England fans. Scummy know-nothings who seemingly only go to football to boo players.
England were shit, and clearly Rooney is frustrated. I don;t blame him, he’s gonna cop all the shit when they get home and he knows it. The like of Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, Cole, Lennon etc etc will get off scott free…again. Rooney is clearly THE main man for England, but Lamps and Co can’t pick a pass to save their lives.
Easy for you to say.
in response to all these “united” fans bashing wazza, all i have to say is UNITED>england… lets not forget that it takes more than one man to win a match…cant wait to have you back wazza.
UNITED > england
spot the engerland fans in here
Daft, daft Wazza… Why is the boy so deluded as to not realize that fans have a right to boo a pathetic display. Make no mistake, the boos were not for the result. The boos were for the performance, and if he expects anything else then he’s even more mental than most people think he is. Needs to show some maturity and self control.
I’m with Rooney on this one.Support is to support all the way through,and to boo your own team off the pitch was disgraceful.it was a terrible performance by the English team, but aren’t the England fans simply fickled?
We don’t boo our team when we play bad.We had a torrid 2 weeks when we lost to the scousers and then fulham back to back.Did we boo?Nope.We have had many poor displays but we never boo cos we have a bond with our team.not blind expectations.
but i’ve never seen such a boring game in my life
this is probably also the reason why Scholesy retired his international career early. I’m thinking it may be the same with Rooney – I mean not any time soon but when he starts getting older like Scholesy.
Never get it at old trafford or if he played foe ireland for that matter
Make no mistake about it, if SAF saw that Rooney performance for United, he would have been hooked at half time, dreadful
“Perhaps Manchester United rushed him back from injury too quickly and England have been left to pick up the pieces. Maybe he has been worked too hard, as club and country come to rely on him enormously. Maybe he is just knackered.” Mail Online Martin Samuel.
He also said that Rooney was dragging down the rest of the team with him!! Say what?? I had a feeling before the WC that if Rooney didn’t play well they were going to blame us for rushing him back too quickly. So should Sir Alex have said “Wayne England is going to need you so just take it easy for the rest of the season.” Oh Please!! There was more creativity in the crowd than on that pitch!! I don’t think Rooney should have said what he said but after the first 20 mins you could see him getting more and more frustrated. He had no service and was played on the left…the left!! Even Stevie Wonder would see that was a shit decision. I blame Capello for messing with the player’s mentality with that 2 hours before the game shit. Something is definitely wrong in that camp though imho. David James response when told Capello said he thought they were scared confirmed it even more. I’m sorry but the England football team and the West Indies cricket team can date each other…..they are both a load of shit!!! Fans of both teams here in Barbados are just bitching to each other and it is hilarious!!
P:S: This is one of my favourite sites and I love the hilarious comments on here. Keep rolling them out they make my day. I also do not support or care about England in any way, shape or form.
UNITED > Any other team
wayne roooooney
we love you, retire from ingurland,
united>england always
@ Mr Santos.
bang on the money mate, the perfect comment. Hit the nail on the head so sweetly i’m just going to quote it here:
“Hahaha a country full of fucking hypocrites. Calling us a one man team all season, now look who’s depending on one man eh? And when he doesn’t deliver, forget about the rest of the big players & captain that performed shit, let’s have a go at Rooney because he had the balls to speak out against the people that booed.” (Mr Santos,June 19, 2010 at 0:26)
the media love a scapegoat more than i love curry and wanking, now im going to go and find a hat so i can take it off to you sir., good day.
To my opinion, England is a team with a World Cup Finals material but maybe this incident has proven that Fabio Capello is not a good tactician that England deserved. We have the strongest midfielders in the tournament, the best striker/goal-getter in the world, and the saddest thing is we can’t make use of them on the pitch.
If only Fabio wasn’t stubborn enough to change England’s scheme to 4-4-1-1 by putting Joe Cole on the left flank and pushing Gerrard up behind Rooney, it could be the most effective way so that the England squad could link the ball from the midfield up front with the service that Steven Gerrard’s famous for.
Fabio was also sinned for giving Jamie Carragher a start on the center back with John Terry, sorry to say, but Carra has lost it years ago and he wasn’t even deserved to be called up to South Africa. It should’ve been Wes Brown that Capello should brought to the WC.
Long story short, England has the best squad in the tournament, but they were tactically mistaken.
it’s okay wazza it only matters what united fans think of you and please for once everybody give fucking credit to the opposite team it’s 22 men playing for god sake
lol rooney showing his “maturity” once more…
you are really one fucked up nation i swear…it’s like the majority of you enjoy the failure of your own team….i won’t even mention the press…
red devil forever,
top point, they played well and stiffled kick and rush ingurland, i for fort a tight game was in order, i back half time draw at 2s, nice lil profit which i whacked on mickleson to win the open,
for anyone who likes a little flutter i’ve had a tip on caspers touch at ascot 2.30, dont go mad but maybe worth a look
be honest, club football is where it’s at and always has been, the Champion’s league is the pinnacle of quality football because of that fact.
international country football is weak by definition, it’s only the nationalists and the state that use it for their own ends and that hype it so people can love their country for something as a distraction to the obscene commerce driven government behaviour that keeps us in our place, thanks for the crumbs you offer us peasants.
hurry on Premier league football i say, let’s enjoy it before the money men screw it to death.
People who say fans shouldnt boo the team should think twice. its easy to say that siting comfortably at home. Many people do support england and not everyone thinks of United>England(united fans).Some fans want their country to do well. fans have paid thousands of pounds to see their team do well and its obvious this will frustrate them. had this been a top quality opposition the booing would have been harsh but this was algeria FFS. i dont know what else rooney expected after such a rubbish performance. complete torture for the 90 mins.
The shame was rooney reacting when he should have kept his mouth shut. the whole team as booed, not rooney solely.
pay good money to support a team then fail to support it through hard times, hmm.
and Rooney knew it wasn’t only him being booed, he reacted to the team being booed.
i dont care how people dress it up YOU DONT BOO YOUR OWN TEAM, NEVER!!
win,lose or draw you just dont do it as united fans we should all know this.
i would like to see england win the world cup just for the united players in the squad, but thats it.
the majority of ingerland fans are complete twats, forget them wayne and just save it all for next season. when you will be cheered and appriciated
offtopic but it’s making me happy still:
Hernadez goal against Handball Henry’s ‘team’ mates, oh joy and justice
he is Hernandez, he is Hernandez
he was sitting on the bench
he made a good run, he beat the keeper
thats how he sunk the cheating french
the tune you ask? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKhZL-FuS1o&feature=fvst
au revoir
David James blames opposition for ingerlund failing:
“You have to give Algeria credit for making the game as dire a spectacle as it turned out,” James told BBC Radio 5 live.
“They didn’t want us to create chances..”
cheating algerian bastards eh?
i short of knew when i see the worldsh cup draw that it ish good teamsh, USA, you know.. the Algeria, the Shlovenia
it’s one of reason why we here, world cup, qualify, erm, good team
Ooh the backlash is starting. Shouldn’t have said it but good on ya lad. Fuck em. Classless cunts. The media are raging. Some want him sent home! Collymore the cunt saying how if he said that at OT Fergie would bollock him. It wouldn’t happen at United you bloated bird beater as the fans LOVE him. Embarrased to be English last night. Woeful. Fat fucking Frank and Barry instead of Carrick who can keep the ball. No service. Had abusive texts from a “mate” last night slating Wayne. He said how Butcher came back from Italia 90 and apologised to fans. Fucking Butcher. The bandaged warrior. I was in stitches. Seen it all before. The country will hate him he will come back to United and shove it up their Ingerlund arses.
United > Ingerlund.
I would like to always defend Rooney, but in this case, his reaction was completely unwarranted. I think it also shows his frustration. Completely concur with aig’s comments. After that thoroughly inept performance, I don’t know how he could expect any better. I felt sorry for the fans of the England team who have spent thousands of pounds to go and watch that.
All these United “fans” on Rooneys backs you are the same spineless fuckers that would have vilified Eric.
@King Eric
Doesn’t make me any less of a United fan if I think Rooney was in the wrong to react to the booing. And I certainly don’t appreciate being called a spineless fucker.
aig – Oh for fuck sake pal. I swear you post what you do to get a reaction. The whole of the country will be slagging him off the last thing he needs is United fans doing it. But then I expect nowt else from you.
arijc – It wasn’t actaully directed at you, I posted before i even saw your post. We have seen it before . We need to get behind him not join in with the abu’s. There are MUCH greater issues with the Ingerlund team and their shortcomings than Waynes comments but they won’t be looked at.
If you read my post I actually said he shouldn’t have said it but he has. I ain’t gonna slate him.
When fans vented against Berbatov at Ewood Park, I was on Scott’s side when he said that they wrong to do so. And I truly believe that, because I don’t believe in scapegoats. However, this was completely different. The England fans were booing the entire team weren’t they? Plus, the vast majority of them made a really long trip and one would think that they have the right to voice their disappointment. Think about it like this. United host Fulham at home and they are down 2-0 or 3-0 at half time. Wouldn’t the fans voice their disappointment at the display? It’s not about being spoiled or ungrateful. Sometimes players need that kick up the backside.
well if he dosent want to be slagged and i am not he should have thought twice before letting his temper get the better of him. stupid comment to make and he cant have any complaints about the stick he is getting. all i am saying is his reaction was totally unjustified and out of order. ill support him if he has a slump in form but stupid actions like these rile me.
@King Eric
Good morning mate. I was waiting for your reaction on the result. People have mentioned Joe Cole, Carrick among other players. I don’t know how much they would have helped. Does Capello even have an attacking game plan? Does he work on automatic attacking moves like managers like Fergie or Wenger do? Or does he just depend on the individual quality of his star players to get it done? That’s a recipe for disaster in my opinion.
king eric
also if you feel that way dont reply. i certainly take your posts the right way even though they are over exaggerated at times. you arent going get positive things from everyone especially in this case because he was wrong in what he did
@King Eric
Thanks for the clarification. As I said in the earlier post, I can understand that he was frustrated and hence the reaction. And I agree with you about the greater issues within the England team. Just wish he hadn’t said that in front of the camera. As far as I am concerned, it was the wrong reaction, but its done. No point dwelling on it any further.
For the record, the amount of critisism that Greece received from fans and media alike was one of the main reasons why the players appeared fired up against Nigeria. Not saying that it’s the ideal way to prepare for a major tournament. Just saying. I expect the same thing to happen with the England players.
@pfs, ffs
support through hard times?. hard time against a team rooney and company have been belittling before the game??.fans will expect the team to do well if players are going to say that before the game. if they dont then they will get their backsides kicked and cant have any complaints. I said right before the tournament rooney should let stevie me and others do the talking off the pitch and let his fooball do the talking on the pitch which he isnt
You carry on booing Ingurland fans – you’re just making your best player resent playing for you!
@Costas
the tournament itself should be a big enough inspiration for the players. its the world cup ffs. half the players didnt look bothered at all
When liverpool demolished us 4-1 we kept on chanting champions of europe champions of england as they left…England get a draw and they boo england.
United fans>England fans.
@AIG
You would expect that to be the case, but it has become a lot more complicated unfortunately. As I said recently, there are plenty of big egos in these big teams and if you don’t find a way to satisfy them, the shit will hit the fan. Look at France.
You’ll all be fully behind Berbatov then next season eh? He’s never been booed by his own fans has he?
Costas – Morning mate. Well well well. Do we as United fans REALLY expect any different? Every tournament one of our players upsets the country.
I have been saying for ages at work I am not convinced by Capello. The players look terrified of playing for him. It was crying out for Joe Cole last night. We made Bel Hadj look world class. Fair play to Algeria. I have NEVER seen such an abject display. Words fail me. Looked to me like Capello had no idea what to do. Oh I will just copy Fergie and play Wayne on the left. It jsut annoys me the arrogance of the England fans. How they will steamroll any team especially the Algerians. What have they ever done? Fuck all. forty odd years. Its time people got real and realised Ingerlund are an average team .
I see Rooney’s rating on guardian.co.uk from a fan’s poll is 2.4 – fickle Ingurland strikes again. Ready for the backlash everybody, strap yourself in!
Costas – Funny you mention France. I thought the whole make up of England looked the same last night. Disinterested players, no faith in manager and no belief in the tactics he gave them. Right time to do some work, back in a bit.
Capello should be and probably was the object of the booing. I really don’t understand his tactics. Its not rocket science, Rooney should be leading the attack. He is the guy most likely to score if he gets the chance, not Heskey. Heskey’s presence just encourages the long ball tactic. Germany with 10 men looked more likely to score against a better defense in the form of Serbia, than the England team with 11 players against a relatively inferior defense.
i think the fans had the right to boo the team they cudnt even beat algeria.we(rep of ireland)bet them 3-0 just before the world cup.the ensland fans pain thousands to get there in the hope england could win it.ok im delighted england didnt win but still shocked at how bad they are and i taught france were bad england were worse……looking at the morning papers rooney is getin the blame even though he seemed to be the only one trying to make someting happen more than steve me or fat frank anyhow and wat about terrys back pass was hopein algeria scored from that ha ha……………………ROONEY PLEASE IF THE NEXT MATCH ISNT GOING YOUR WAY PLEASE DONT GET YOURSELF SENT OFF
@Costas
very true but i think France problems are more related to divisions in the team and players not getting along with each other. Dont think england have the same problem unless there is something going on behind the scenes which we are unaware of
also are you on any other United blogs?. the abuse you get for expressing your opinions is on the rise here. need to try United rant and other ones that allow fans to express their opinions. i have your mail id anyways but just asking.
Its no good trying to blame the players. How can you expect the players to be at full fitness after a grueling European season where they play high tempo football week in week out.
Yes, the passion is lacking, but unless a player is 100% fit I don’t really see how he can give his best performance in a match!
If there is anyone to blame…it is the PL and the coach. Many top coaches have been shouting out for a mid season break but the PL is more interested in making money than ensuring good quality football is played by good players. Fabio Capello had to get a defender out of retirement, tried to get a 35yr old midfielder out of retirement and selected a player who cannot play two games at a stretch. all this just a month away from the biggest tournament there is. What was he doing for the last two years. He should have had planned for all the scenarios in advance and then maybe we could see a more disciplined team on the field.
The present crop of English players are average at the best and are severely lacking in confidence. Also after the domestic season ended he should ideally have given the players at least a week’s rest before starting with the camp. It could have resulted in England fielding more rested and fresh players!!!
aig – Abuse you get? What from big bad King Eric and gotta hate? Grow up mate and stop being so petty and sarcastic.
@aig alex is god
mate, they had hard times on the pitch and that’s exactly when real vocal positive support is needed, and the boos carry over to the next match, just my opinion but the negativity helps nobody
i don’t support ingerlund anyway but i hate to see bad support, particularly when it rightly angers one of our own,it is hypocrisy in my book
the ludicrously inflated expectations cause the overboard negativity from ‘fans’
anybody else enjoyed seeing the quality of football from other teams so far?, notwithstanding the stray long passes and long shots blamed on the ball, the team play has been great,especially in the defenses
hey, we all love Manchester United
roll on premier league…oh i said all that earlier..
cmmon oranje.
HUP HOLLAND HUP!!!
At least the ref wasn’t shit (unlike USA game). It could be worse… you could spain or germany
be*
Well, if this isn’t clear vindication for the “choose Ingurlernd” brigade then i don’t know what it’s going to take. Actually, it’ll only take one more performance like that before we really do have effigies of Roo burning in East London!
Shit team selection, shit service to Roo and the usual shit fickle Ingulernd “supporters”.
You don’t boo your own, period.
Wow, thats really going to get their confidence up.
Heskey, Fat Fwank, Thug, Bahwee, greedy little twat SWP, all shit.
What service have they provided to Roo?
Ingurlernd supporters and those on here vilifying our man for daring to question that “support”, ha…stick it!
spain and germany will qulify and have a chance in the next rounds, inglund might qualify and then will really suffer
Morning
Sweet ladies and fiery gentlemen
And as King Eric has wonderfully put it mass hysteria has broken out in the country on the impending doom that they will be on a plane next Wednesday coming come : )
It is quite true that at United Wayne would never have been like that as he was yesterday – when he has players like Valencia Nani Giggs Scholes Fletcher etc supplying him – he has nothing to worry about
When he has a manager that believes him – he has nothing to worry about
When he has fans that believe him win or loose – he has nothing to worry about
To one extent his comment was off the mark – to another something deeply is wrong when a world’s best player cannot put his stamp on the match – blame accordingly
Lovely day to be a United fan : )
No one seems to give credit to Algeria…coz honestly they played really well………..England is a piece of joke…….I can’t understand why Glen Johnson even starts……if in the dying minutes one of our players wudn’t fight for a ball…..slack passing all around and cross like a douche……..Neville would almost kill him….the sight of Neville getting up after being knocked down by some Blackburn player at Ewood and England’s very own Glen Johnson……Rooney needs to stfu and start getting at least good first touches….if he’s not fit ffs dun start him…..I have never seen Rooney perform so badly…..Algeria played as a team…..England play like Rooney do something….the players that England need are in Manchester…Hargo and Scholes …….Euro 2004 was the best England team in a long time…..they had young Rooney who could Dribble pass through ppl and score goals from whatever co-ordinate on the field…Scholes could unlock any Defence….
For all the stick that Wayne has been receiving, how many good chances did the star-studded Ingerlund midfield create for him? There was one good cross from Aaron Lennon but that’s about it.
A United player being made the scapegoat for the entire team’s hapless performance. Gee, why didn’t I see that coming?
@pfs, ffs
fair enough mate. no worries
@king eric.
to a limit its okay but when people start saying you post to get replies and you are a gloryhunter it will hurt you too. i like the disagreements i have with willie because they are in limit but this gets annoying. anyways that it from me. enjoy the games
adios amigos everyone!!!!
OMG YOU OT ARE SOOOO BLOWING THIS OUT OF PROPORTION…YOU HAD 2 DRAWS, SO WHAT ?!DO YOU HAVE A GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO WIN EVERY MATCH….GROW UP AND STOP OVERREACTING…I SAW SOMEONE MENTIONED CARRICK ?!LMAO
*YOU LOT
You can line up a team of world class stars, as England mostly do. But that’s not what it is about, because all those players do not go well together. That is what Capello can’t fucking realize! His job is to win, right? Then why the fuck do he line a team like that! Could you ever expect Heskey to score? And by the time he gets a goal, Defoe or Bent would have had 7-8, i bet my arse on it.
Immature of Rooney, yes. But what the hell would you’ve done? Someone has to say it, their fans are some of the worst in the world. And, besides RedNev, he’s the only one with the cahones to let them know.
No matter what, we will support you Wayne!
@AIG
Sorry mate I was away for a while. I am not on any other United fan sites. I hope you will still pop up here. And you know where to find me anyway.
Well well well. What do i say? How is england different from d french? Thank God i aint english! To rooney’s comment, well its sad for u seeing your fans booing u as a football but when your teammates are sh!tty what do u want your fans to do? But some comments saying rooney was sh!te yesterday was pure bullocks. Wonder where them cunts where watching d match from ? Behind d tv i guess…some dumb pundits where evening suggesting dropping wayne to d bench, which i find stupid!
What do u want wayne to do, pick up d ball and dribble all ten players? Cappelo saw this coming thats why he called on scholesy, and i’m glad he declined.i remember an english pundit (forgotten his damn name) saying England dont need him,hope he can now see that England is sh!t without d ginger genius.lamps and gerrard cant control d tempo of games with all their fucking hype!
England is nothing but a one man team- depending on a 24yr old striker!…
And its situations like these that make u appreciate players like Nani , valencia ,berba and giggs.they dont have d hype gerrard and lampard have but they are quality players.GOD BLESS THEIR SOULS.
Two world wars and one world cup!
England down the DRAIN!!!! Lma0
Some people forget that it was Rooney who scored all the goals that got Ingurland to the WC. Capello played Rooney in a meaningless friendly at Wembley towards the end of last season, which fucked his ankle, and played Rooney in yet more meaningless friendlies in preperations for the WC against Mexico and Japan. Now he has no clue as to how get the best out of him, or where to play him. It’s the coach that deserves to get all the blame.
off topic..more proof that City don’t have a scouting network and just go after every player that is linked with United. Giorgio Chiellini is the latest to be linked with City.
Ohhhhhhh Flower of Scotland, when will we see your likes again, lol
Fucking perfect, have a good day boys! lmao.
3 lions on my shirt, 44 years of hurt and 4 more to add to that.Only one star and thats the way it will stay.
England should be planning for the Euro’s in 2012, growing the youth like Theo, Adam Johnson, Joe Hart, James Milner, Dawson, Ashley Young, etc.
Watch Germany win the Euro in 2012.
Cmon Holland*/Argentina we can do this.
Sorry if I was rude to anyone last night, just Scots fire and passion, and nuttyness, Get out of there Wayne, you are wasting your time mate, its capoot the whole system mate.
They start believing there own hype and media build up, easy as.
@arijc
City do have scouts mate. They are called Manchester United’s newsnow page.
Manchester sh!tty….wont be suprised if they get linked with diego maradona soon…
Costa- Haha nice one mate.
@ Costas
It must be a part of their grand plan to save on traveling costs for their “scouting network”.
arijc – Yeah I saw that too about Chilleni. They are a joke. He will reject them clowns anyway.
RedScot – You’re a cheeky little monkey lol. @ AIG It’s only words ffs, you can’t expect everyone to agree with you all the time. I’ve had disagreements with some on this blog, but it wouldn’t lead me to leave the blog. As for England, they really can’t get any worse, that was shocking yesterday, they didn’t seem to have a clue on the pitch. Now of course, Rooney will bare the brunt of abuse from England fans, but the whole team didn’t look interested.
Its time Stan Collymore , Durham and the rest of the little ingerlunders realised that to Liverpool and United fans their clubs come first all day long. They are actually outraged that club comes before country to many. Fucking cunts.
@ Willie, but of course, anybody who watches my posts will know i am always laughing and posting with a smile.
Nah Nah Nah Nah,Were England were gonna score one more than you, can I introduce you to a bucket of Vindalooo, England, me and Mum ma Dad and Gran, were off to Waterloo.
More like the Airport. lmao
At least Mark Ogden of the telegraph knows the score:
“Rooney’s outbursts are now associated more with his England performances than those in a United shirt, but is that because he is surrounded by more able and reliable team-mates at Old Trafford?
Who in this England team provides the same support and service as Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Antonio Valencia and Nani?
Rooney’s supply line from the flanks at Old Trafford last season was a torrent of killer deliveries, yet with England, he must rely on the infuriating Aaron Lennon, Emile Heskey and Shaun Wright-Phillips.
On international duty, Rooney is having to accept a drop in standard and that is the problem.
His United team-mates are good enough to nurse him through games when he isn’t quite fully fit or on top of his game.
That’s not the case with England and, while that remains, Rooney will always be on the brink of another Gelsenkirchen. “
Well said Eric, fucking spot on
Will say one thing Currys is having a field day with ingurlands performances! Wayne should have kept quiet but if he did it wouldnt have been Wayne. Not one person in the media has mentioned how Fat Frank went missing. I thought Terry was a leader even without the arm band what happened to him eh? Thing is ingurland fans have been booing for all sorts of things in recent times, very seldom do they get behind the team IMO. Supposedly the best fans in the world, heard them twice all game and before anyone blames the vuvuzelas if you saw the Mexico game noise can be achieved by drowning those annoying horns out the game.
Is it true that one of the rags apologise to Eriksson? Lol.
I said it yesterday. How Rooney(and England) could have done with Paul Scholes.
RedScot – I would like to take credit for that couple of paragraphs mate but not my words , Mark Ogden’s. He is spot on.
@King Eric, ohhh ok, I just thought it was you, your normal enthusiasm and behind United.
Listen to that Adrian Durham Rooney takes a dump on all England fans, GRRRRRR, time to switch off that shite on the radio
Can I just point out that he was actually right. All you supposed ‘fans’ that boo’ed them are the ones who should be ashamed. It’s such an english thing to do. England backs their teams and athletes, until the moment they don’t win, then they turn on them. What happened to loyalty to your team and always supporting them no matter what?
I think he was spot on and if I were in his shoes, I would have said a hell of alot more than that.
Well done fans of England, you may have just blown any chance of them winning. It’s hard to win when your own people are against you.
thick and thin, win, lose, or draw you stand by your team NEVER boo!!
if the fickle twat headed ingerland fans feel they have the right to boo then wayne can say what he likes. and if any united fan thinks its right to boo a united side on an off day dont come to the game because most reds dont want you there. UNITED>EVERYONE ELSE
King Eric hows it going pal. Nice of you to bring to my attention some good journalism. Spot on about ingurlands midfield it’s dire. They need a scapegoat and Rooney just gave them one, he played badly BUT as the game went on. He was at right back and left back for fucks sake far too often, the full backs and midfield should be sorting that out but couldnt. Nobody wants to see that.
All the England fans said they wouldn’t miss Rio, they can cope, really? Rio’s the only CD who can bring the ball out of defence. Terry and Carraaaa just hoof the ball up the pitch to Heskey omg, who jumps and misses the ball most times. Cappello should revert to a 451, play Gerrard off Rooney, put cole on the left, fat frank and Barry CM and Lennon on the right.
I dont know why he does not play Dawson instead of that idiot Carragher, he is so fucking slow and dangerous, if he gets turned and thats against relatively poor opposition.
Agree Willie about Joe Cole, mind you Cappelo has stifled imagination and creativity, its far too fucking rigid the system
Cmon Holland were is AIG, my Dutch buddy! lol
offtopic question, someone enlighten me pls,
been bugging me for days, did Antonio Valencia get injured or just not called up? or did i get his nationality completely wrong?
@bchilds
Rooney’s performance was beyond bad, it was inexcusable, poor first touch, poor passing, poor everything
If you paid thousands of pounds to fly to south africa, take leave from work, put up with those damn vuvuzelas and attend a game you have a right to express your opinion. Losing 4-1 to Liverpool at home and flying halfway round the world for a once in four years tournament are slightly different
btw i think half of people are feeling arsey as hell cos Inger-flag-waver-land are failing to live up to false promise..again, and the other half are sensing a media assault on our man Rooney for standing up for himself( regardless of performance level), and that my friends pisses us off royally.
Getting thrashed by your biggest rivals at home and drawing to Algeria, which one justifies booing.
Okay, all those people saying that fans have a right to boo, they paid money, they took holidays, Rooney earns more in a week then they do in a year etc etc. well, is it Rooneys fault hes so bloody talented? is it his fault that the average wages of footballers are so high nowadays? No, it isnt. its just part and parcel of the game, live with it. And as for ingerland “fans” who took holidays and paid to watch Ingerland at the World Cup, well, to be frank, no one actually asked you to do so? Get behind the team ffs,they need the fucking support.
And as for Rooney becoming the scapegoat, well tbh it was predicttable. i may not be a regular poster but i a do regularly come on this blog and tbh most United fans KNOW that a United player will be the face of criticisism, so it had to be Rooney, obv. If the team is based around Rooney, like Argentina is Messi, and Rooney bangs in a few goals and produces a masterclass, watch these so called Ingerland “fans” go wild.
Fans have their views on whether to boo or not, and Rooney has his view. And both, the fans and Rooney expressed them yesterday. So why should Rooney get stick for expressing his views, yet the fans none? Sense much?
btw, why did Fat Frank get no stick? As far as i know, out of Ingerland’s three most talented attacking players (Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard), one is being wasted on the left (Remember Paul Scholes anyone?), one is being played behind a striker, instead of as a lone striker, which is obv his best position, and only Lampard is being payed in his favoured position, behind the two srikers?? Yet, he did NOTHING either? As for Barry apparently becoming an important player in the team, we played better without him?
Sorry about this :\
From the Guardian:
“Gary, England are complete rubbish. They are a laughable shower with a risible sense of entitlement, as Steven Gerrard showed with his pitiful “it was their World Cup final” comment. That, rather than them drawing two games, is the big issue. Don’t forget this was supposed to be a potential World Cup-winning side. They could still quite easily get to the semis by beating, say, Ghana in the last 16 and Mexico in the quarters, but they are still hopeless.
As for World Cup-winning teams starting slowly, I don’t buy that. In the 18 previous tournaments, the record of the eventual winners in the first game is P18 W16 D2 L0 F51 A9. England are crap. Get over it, move on and enjoy the World Cup”
I agree wholeheartedly.
Colbert, totally agree
as was said earlier
david james: “You have to give Algeria credit for making the game as dire a spectacle as it turned out,” James told BBC Radio 5 live.
“They didn’t want us to create chances..”
well..dur…
Watching Van der vaart play…He’s bossing that midfield..I’d really love a bid for him..
To be honest I think the guy that Aig quoted probably has it right, United probably did rush rooney back before he was fully fit as he hasn’t looked the same (or scored in a proper game) since Bayern. Here’s the thing though, Fergie doesn’t owe Ingerland anything. He did what he had to to try and win trophies for United.
I do hope that England go out soon so Wayne can get some proper rest and recuperation. Id be worried for United if we’re forced to play an unfit Rooney all season – hopefully Chicharito can help take some of the pressure off him early in the season and he can be rested if needs be.
Whatever the case I’ll be happy to see Rooney back under Sir Alex’s guidance rather than Capello who seems to be doing a Sven and expecting Rooney to just go out and win it for him.
great ball again from VDV.
@colbert – Agree with most of that quote, especially regarding Gerrard’s disrespectful dig at Algeria – but I’d be surprised if England could beat Mexico on neutral ground based on what we’ve seen so far!
The point about the booing is this, it’s probably relates more to england, who have underachieved since 66. Manchester United fans can have no excuse for booing their team, we’ve been spoilt rotten under SAF, but still you’ll get some fans moaning about team selection, tactics etc.
I bet this referee wants fucking holland shirt. de jong you cunt. feel sorry for Japan. undeserved defeat.
@bigphil
True. Even though Algeria outplayed England they lacked a finisher. A team with even a hint of ability in the last third would have beat England the way they played last night. Maybe pointless to say, but I think North Korea could have won the match if they had played instead of Algeria.
I wouldn’t say Algeria out played England, both were poor imo, but england more so, because they should have the better players.
Barry said Rooney will bounce back. He missed the point completely. It is not like Rooney missed chance after chance. The people who need to buck up is everyone else on the field!
i just love how the rest of the players immediately defended the fans for booing. Pretty much making wayne look even worse for what he said. Great unity in the england camp.
NRD – Yeah I am ok mate, how are you? Sick to the stomach of getting texts from people I know proper slating Wayne.
united.george – Yeah I thought exactly the same. Fat Frank and Gerrard being the first.
ppf – Valencia plays for Ecuardor!
Redalltheway – Spot on pal. I have been saying to those people who say that the poor fans have spent a fortune etc that they shouldn’t have bothered . Who in their right mind would follow that useless lot? Wouldn’t cross the street to watch them.
King Eric, thanks mate that was boiling my brain, i thought it was Uraguay, my south america geography is clearly in need of some help, cheers
Nice deflection by Barry. If only he could be so good on the pitch…
This isn’t about Rooney and Rooney wasn’t the only one booed out there! All of them were. It’s funny, but last time I looked Lampard and Gerrard were also supposed to be world class. JT was supposed to be a British Bullshit that would lead his country into battle even if he didn’t wear the armband. And that’s why I feel that Rooney spoke out against the wrong people. He should have a pop at his teamates, his manager and the press. Not the supporters.
King Eric – Exactly. But the thing that pisses me off the most is how “the whole country held their breath when Rooney was injured, and when he was playing against Bayern Munich”. Yet, he has one poor performance and there all on his back, despite the fact that noone performed? its actually unbelievable. It reminds me of how much stick Beckham got post 1998 and yet, just before the 2002 World Cup the whole country were praying for him to get better? :S Cant believe i used to follow that fickle bunch tho tbh.
United > Ingerland (Y)
Fuck England, they are just in the tournament to make the numbers. The sooner the united players get home the better (except for Hernandez… im quite enjoying watching him at the world cup).
You never boo your own team. It’s classless, pathetic, and is just typical of the small time, 6 fingered, fickle ABU ingerlund fans that buy into the media hype every time an International competition is upon us. Face it, ingerlund are the Man City of national teams. This (like every other one apart from 66) is not our year. No amount of advertising campaigns telling us to cross our fingers will change that.
are England fans from London just want know
england are playing poorly granted but the fans and press are idiots for ridiculing them, fair enuf give out about your team as much as ya like but never never boo your team, take the good with the bad, thats why they wont win the world cup because of the fans and the press and because.. heskey too (obviously), world cups and tournaments are all about scoring goals and teams that win them score goals – heskey doesnt and when he plays he becomes the focal point of the team and slows everything down and they dont score, darren bent, defoe score goals and dont slow play down ergo should of brought bent (ahem also who injured rio, fell on his leg????? yup your right heskey, ok could happen to anyone but when ya play a bad hand ya generally dont get lucky) or at least play rooney the way hes been playing all season ( with a 5 man midfield behind him) and scoring for fun up front with a gerrard or j cole behind him!! thats my two cents…. oh and by the way im irish (ya I know were pretty dire too) but like the english team but think its a bloody disgrace the way some “english fans” treat their teams (clubs and National).
think he was well within his rights to say what he did. Those boo boys don’t deserve a ticket the twats. No matter how shite they play, never boo your own team. Even more embarrassing than the performance.
Scholes is the only player in the last ten years who has played for England and would have a chance at getting in the brazil team
——-
C’mon… Beckham > Elano, Ferdinand > Juan etc. and Rooney would get in definitely
