@Sam: you stole my comment, lol. I was gonna remind everyone that he had another disallowed goal vs. Portsmouth.

I’m now thinking there might have been a game between the England/Croatia and the United/Bolton matches.

Oh well, still 10 goals officially this season!

Actually Scott, his record IS better:

England v Croatia, Rooney scores 1
England v Kazhakstan, Rooney scores 2
England v Belarus, Rooney scores 2

Most importantly:

United v Bolton, Rooney scores 1
United v Aalborg, Rooney scores 1
United v Blackburn, Rooney scores 1
United v West Brom, Rooney scores 1
United v Celtic, Rooney scores 1

10 in 8

Just imagine Rooney would have signed for Newcastle instead of United, we might not even be talking about him coz his career would be down the sh!tter, and I dont even want to begin who we would have signed if we hadnt gotten Rooney

He has gotta be one of Fergies Top 10 buys, and rightly so. He is a world class footballer, Id have Rooney over Ronaldo every day of the week

P.S.Wasnt Rooneys injury last season on the opening day when we drew to Reading?

From the day I first saw Wayne Rooney – for Everton v. Arsenal – it was absolutely clear that this kid had the makings of a superstar (indeed, it was the same reaction I had when I first saw CR7 tear apart Bolton’s right back in a cameo role). Obviously, SAF saw TheBoyWonder even earlier and tried his damnedness to sign him on schoolboy forms but, at that time, you couldn’t take the ToxtethBoy out of scouserland. Wayne grew up fast and realized that he needed a change of scenery and the moment he was available SAF blew his wad to get him. What a great buy. He has had rough patches – who wouldn’t being in the public eye at 17 ? – but it is clear that he has matured without losing his passion and desire. The story is that Wayne was a boxer as a kid and he plays like a pugilist, always looking for a knockout and chasing down his opponent.

Having Rooney – in addition to Ronaldo, Tevez, Berbatov, and (soon) Anderson – is an incredible embarrassment of riches. But, hey, I’m not embarrassed ! party on, dude.

your forgetting the perfect goal that wasn’t against portsmouth at the beginning of the season. he’s had 3 perfect goals dissallowed. what’s the odds he finishes the season on 41 goals or 45 for that matter and missing out on Law’s record.

i agree with everything that is said here except for the inclusion of the 2 goals wayne had scored ahainst W.B.A & celtic, but denied by the referee. if the referee says the goal shouldn’t be allowed, it is finished. regarding wayne, he shouldn’t be bothered by what ever pele or the press says. he should just concentrate on performing and hopefully he will score 35 PL and 12 CL PLUS 5 FA CUP goals.

Mr Speakers – the point of inclusion was the double sided meaning of the heading.

Rooney should have scored 100 goals already because 1. he’s been robbed of 2 decisions already this season 2. he’s spent large chunks of the season out injured.

People are ranting and raving about how great Rooney’s scoring record is, and I’m simply stating that if not for poor decisions in the past 5 days, his record would be even better.
