In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Iniesta isn't a striker though.
People were going nuts over Rvp, who isn't considered an arsenal legend anyway, due to his performances. Nothing else. And if rvp keeps throwing childish fits and wants out, he'll get the same treatment. It's all logical really. I'm not sure why anyone gets confused by any of it.
Didn't SAF say Rooney told him he wanted to leave? Didn't Moyes refuse to say "Rooney wants to stay" every time he was asked? All Moyes ever said is "we will not sell him", which isn't the same thing. Yet you seriously think it was all made up by the press?
Cristiano Ronaldo
Fergie said Rooney wanted to leave. I don't need anything else to believe be it. The great mans word is moored than enough.
I don't think he and Rvp are the same player, mate.
You seem to have you footballers mixed up.
I had the same views on Ronaldo. Check out his thread.
Previously, when queried on the Roy Keane issue he told the press that Keane was well and training only for the news of his departure to be announced just a couple of hours later.
I think Fergie would say and do whatever is good for the club. Not necessarily lie, but it may not be the whole truth either...and this is what happed in Rooney's case too, I believe
Fair enough then but there are many others across the forum who do seem to show some double standards.
You know what I mean.
You're right. Fergie has an absolutely spotless record when it comes to speaking the truth.
To be fair, Rooney has every right to ask for a transfer, and the club to sell.
Sir Alex was telling the truth. He did ask for transfer, although it was a verbal request. If anyone not believing Rooney was looking for a move away from United are naive. Mourinho also said he was given encouragement by the player.

The media wankathon over him right now is a bit odd.
Nah, doesn't look after himself an' all that.
He'll be sold in the summer.
If he was going to be sold then I think we would have bought Ozil
Why? Rooney's still here at the moment.
Aye, I think it's clear he wanted out. And I think it's clear too that he told Fergie something along those lines. We don't know what form this took, though. Given Fergie's other comment, that Rooney should take some time off and think about his situation, it sounds like a bust-up between the two of them more than anything: Rooney had a problem with being dropped, or something of the sort, Fergie told him that if he had played better he wouldn't have been dropped, or something - and Rooney responded by threatening to leave. Or something. I'm sure similar incidents take place every day across the Premier League. It's just that Fergie went on to retire shortly afterwards, and the two of them never kissed and made up. That's my take on it, anyway. If Fergie had stayed on I suspect he would've tried to reason with Rooney before letting him go. And he obviously wouldn't have allowed him to go to Chelsea (either).
Why would we wait a year to sell him? Why not sell him now if we wanted to?
We did it with Ronaldo, to make a point more than anything. Anyway, I'd say it's more likely Rooney doesn't want to stay rather than us not wanting him to stay.
Correct. Though I think it had to do with rumours he was off to Italy as well.
Rio and, more recently, Pogba.
Jesus I had no idea he was so one footed
5...4...3...2...1.......>WR8
5...4...3...2...1.......>WR8
I wouldn't have said that is a very "one footed" stat personally. Obviously his right foot is going to be more prolific, but 24 goals with his left is good.
It's a great summary of the 200 goals. Only if you can find a HD version of it. I've tried to no avail.
White text.........
When Messi scored his 234th goal for Barca, the number of goals scored with his left was 185, and his right was 37. You can never expect a player to have 100 on left and 100 on right.
I know there's white text, but still - just thought it's worth comparing how similar the ratio is

Fair enough
So Moyes seems to have played down any talk of a new contract.
Two great passes (and a panna) by Rooney vs Bayer Leverkusen:
He really does make those hollywood passes look ridiculously easy. Doesn't seem the need to put any effort into them.
And it was a breath of fresh air seeing him going at players again - we've missed that explosive side of Rooney for a number of years now.

Nice, the other moment I enjoyed was the nut meg on the right hand side. Are you the person who posted this on twitter, by the way?
Indeed. Rooney's sharpness has returned. He's not at his best just yet, but the fact he's trying to go past players, nutmegging them, and making these small turns, is appeasing to the eye. Even the diagonal balls look very good and more crisp.
Epic control and great panna. I'll upload that now for you. And yes, I am.
Here you go, mate:
The alternative version by BeardedGenius is also pretty good(in reference to MUTV's Rooney 200 graphic)
A lot of big game goals.
Hoping for another good display from him against City. He usually turns up for this one, so I expect him to have a good one.
ugh just looking at that again they really could have done the face a bit better.
