He just insulted an entire country. And that''s totally wrong if Ribery can leave abroad every human being can.
He should take a trip to the Costa Del Sol and spend some time with the English ex-pats that live there. Mensah candidates they ain't.

I don't see anyone defending it or trying to play it down? It was downright stupid and even worse than Rooney's antics. It rightly cost him his career if you ask me and I'm pretty sure that he did sully his reputation with that episode. However, I just disagreed with people comparing the Rooney's contract situation with the other players contract situations. Completely different imo.
Aye. Think he should use it more often imo. I remember him saying that he didn't score enough goals with his left foot or his head and that he started to train on them. He then went on a headed goalscoring spree in 09/10. Scored around 10 headed goals or something by the end of the season if I'm not mistaken. Probably improved his left footed goals as well. He was just ridiculous that season and maybe even more important to that team than what Ronaldo was to the 07/08 one.
Its not different, Keano was questioning Fergie and the club. What about Ronaldo's slavery comments?
? How did I insult an entire country? With "him being English" I meant that as an Englishman he obviously prefers playing in England. That was totally unrelated to him not being the brightest. Nowhere have I said that Englishmen can't live abroad. Becks after all did well in different countries.
@Mrs Smoker Regarding your post it's just a feeling. Different things. SAF has also said Rooney wasn't the most adaptable player / could't learn new things easily. His interviews are also always the same "yeah we did well I thought" no matter what had been asked. Tevez is another one for example who I wouldn't call "bright".
RvP, Lahm, Hummels, Falcao on the other hand for example come across as extremely intelligent.
You misunderstood me. I said the Rooney's contract situation was different to the other players contract situations and disagreed with the post that claimed that they were similar.
Keane did disrespect the club, Fergie and his fellow players. Like I've said, it was easily worse than Rooney's antics and he deserved what was coming to him. Both Rooney's antics and Keane's were pretty shameful and if the original poster did acknowledge that, I would have wholeheartedly agreed with him. Instead he chose to compare Rooney's contract situation with other players' contract squabbles behind doors in an effort to downplay it and I didn't agree with that at all.
That's the problem with some ppl, just because some posters don't adore Rooney doesn't mean they hate him.
Its always the same people though.
Well that applies to almost every player. Do ppl who can't wait to criticize Kagawa or Mata automatically hate him? Or look at Herrera's thread, he has been here for 4 months and injured half of that period, but that doesn't stop some (albeit very few) posters to downplay everything he does. Still I wouldn't say those posters "hate" him ...
surely it's the boom part of Rooney's cycle at the moment where he's on good form, thus the haters normally drop away right now...
Man Utd 3:0 Hull City
Great goal by him, and he is in great form, this is the Rooney I want to see.
Rooney's looking so sharp. What a finish too! That's why he should be played further up. He's such a threat.
I loved the finish. Instead of smashing it like most would from outside the box, he displayed great intelligence to outfox the keeper as well as finesse to curl it into the bottom corner.
Hope he's all right.
Nearly broke that board in two didn't he? Hope he's not majorly injured.
Same. Great game from Rooney today.
As I've said before, it's the one thing I do thank Moyes for...getting Rooney to stay and sign another contract. Regardless of anything, he's been and is a brilliant servant to this club and has dedicated his whole career to us.... and he is vital to us. LVG has managed him very well...he really is on fire at the moment
Yeah mate, my stream had commentary as well.
Him being on form going into Christmas/New Year fixtures is perfect for us.
Good finish, he's a striker, isn't he?
He really is leading by example at the moment, hope he can shake off any issues ahead of the midweek fixture and keep his goalscoring run going.
MOTM. He is in terrific form. Everything was great from him tonight.
Wasn't the board it was the bump in the turf before the drop, my guess is its only a bad dead leg but knowing us this season its probably his ACL
I genuinely laugh at those who slated his ability a few months ago and wanted him gone.
fecking hell.
fecking hell.
Me too. I enjoy every one of his good performances and remember all that bashing he had in this forum.
Captain Wayne!
Played very well today. Couldn't choose between him and Carrick for MOTM. Praying that knock he picked up at the end is nothing serious.
Credit to Moyes for not selling him off to Chelsea. What a disaster that would have been.
Please be okay!

It was utterly insane in the summer, the amount of grief he was getting. But it's always the same when England play in a major tournament. In the popular imagination, Rooney suddenly becomes the striking equivalent of Tony Hibbert.
In great form for us and is growing into his role as captain.
He'll be ready for the next game. he's a tough guy who doesn't get easily injured.
Great great performances this year, and he is growing into the leader role.

Why? He was in poor form and is someone we know has no problem holding the club to ransom/wanting to leave.
I wouldn't have a problem if he were sold.
No player is bigger than the club.
Rooney's shit got old years ago.
Agreed, but getting rid of one of our best players when we're in the process of rebuilding isn't such a great idea either.
Holding the club to ransom? Where is the ransom note? Who did he kidnap? One of SAF's grandchildren?
Wait... are we talking about him negotiating a price for his services? Oh snap! Get over it already. How long ago was all this shit?
Great goal but what impressed me the most was how he was closing down opponents in their own half. Basically led to the rest of our attackers following suit and hence our ridiculous possession stats.
Concerned that he picked up a late knock? Hopefully its just a bruise and nothing serious.
We need him to keep up this form because it really feels like we are starting to gel as a team.

He's been mostly great since for club and country since coming back from suspension for that stupid red card, leading by example and getting close to his best days of years ago.
He negotiated the best deal from the Glazers...good for him.
Its nothing to do with Manchester United.
He works his guts out for the club.
First name on the teamsheet for me, if available.

I don't see what's so laughable about not liking Rooney. He's proven to have no allegiance to United. That in and of itself isn't a sticking point because there's very little loyalty left in footballers these days. It's the sub-standard performances relative to his status and wages that has really soured me on him.
I do think it's funny that the told you so brigade are now out in full force though.
