2 for 2 this year - Rooney reborn 
Nope. My post quite clearly shows Rooney has 2 in 2.
I really despite posters like you, though. People who quite obviously have an agenda against one of our players. By no means was Rooney great today, but what the feck did anyone else do? Why are you not posting anything in the Mata thread, for example? A player, who, in my opinion, hasn't done nothing for the last month or so.
If you're going to be critical of our team, at the very least lets try and keep it fair. Cheers.
Hmmm... Could easily make a blooper reel that would hit one million views, but I don't know when to release the comp. Need to contact my manager @Cina
He should not be playing as the main striker. Unlike most I won't write him completely off as I feel he's still capable of being our best #10 if the team is set up properly, but there is simply no way in hell he should be up front as the main guy.
It's funny with his penalties. He tends to score the ones that affect the result, and often missed the ones when we're already winning. Almost like a concentration thing.
Irritating one was when he started the season in great guns, smashed Arsenal in that 8-2 and then was on 2 v Chelsea in a 3-1 and missed one appallingly then, and was almost laughing about it
Never a better time.
If you accept that he's now an average player it was a fine performance.
If he had scored that, I think he was one goal away from getting a hattrick of hattricks (Arsenal, Bolton and of course Chelsea, - would have probably got it as well).
Anyway, yeah shocking again but scored another winner. TBH, I think everybody would take him playing pathetic the rest of the season but scoring winners in every remaining match. Honestly thats the only thing he can do now cos hes got no discipline to be a forward player (focal point of attack) and hes not good enough to be a play maker. (and defo not good enough to be a midfielder).
Maybe he can be a left back whilst Shaw is out.
Hope he gets the 10 goals this season just to see the total outrage in this thread.
Yeah, I am the one with an agenda even though pretty much everyone agrees with me that he is shit, except you who think he is actually doing well in last few games.
Mata writes blogs and is huggable and hasn't put in a TR at United.
He's also not on 300k a week, Captain of the club and constantly covered for by his cronies in the media. Mata is also getting plenty of stick on here, and so are Memphis, Fellaini and several other players. The biggest difference is the rest all get dropped and are all possible to be shifted out of the club, Rooney is stuck to the bowl.
Feast on this. He is worse than Falcao. Can not even trot out the "not played as a striker" excuse anymore. a nothing player.
We all know the stick Falcao got last season for his performances here. Well here's how he compares to our captain this year
(Goals/Shot accuracy/Assists/Pass Completion/Success Take-ons)
So Rooney ends 2015 with:
5 PL Goals from open play
1 PL Assist
2841mins in the PL
1 Goal every 568mins
1 Assist every 2841mins
1 Goal+Assist every 474mins
Oh dear.
You are really weird.
10 goals? What an accomplishment. Shall we give him the Golden Ball for it?
His defenders on here forget he's the only person in the squad with "privileges".
Trust you to ignore my point. Do you think Mata was shit?
Difficult to see how we're going to improve if we carry on playing him at the 9/10 (not that he'd be better elsewhere but perhaps less of a hindrance). He just miscontrols too many passes, as well as slowing down our play and making basically nothing else happen.
I also find it annoying when he doesn't play a match, and we don't instantly improve, we get all the "so Rooney was the problem all along was he?" wise cracks. Just because he isn't the only problem, doesn't mean he's not a problem.

Of course he was.
So why not put that in his thread?
lol
I comment whoever I want. Why didn't you comment in Depay's thread about him winning a penalty or Smalling's how he had a good game?
Which seems to be only Rooney. Like I said, agenda!
Oh, and I did comment on Depay doing well when he come on. I try to stay away from negativity, though, and I never only target one player.
That was about as pathetic a display as I've seen from Rooney - absolutely rubbish. I desperately hope there is a twist to this transfer window that sees him somehow leave.
He scored the winning goal ffs.
10 more goals which would put him somewhere around 19 goals for the season.
You're the biggest agenda driven poster there is in this thread so let's not talk of weird. I accept Rooney has been largely poor this season and will be happy enough if he's dropped but I still want him to get the 10 more goals he needs to get the record. I'm sure there would be outrage amongst some of you fans that he dared to score 19 goals all season (all against shit teams)
Get a grip mate, it was a penalty. I'd say 8 or 9 others, maybe all 10, on that pitch at that time could have dispatched that past a third tier goalkeeper.
He shot a sublime penalty during a moment of true pressure. Captain's job done. He has done well the past few games.
For the bargin price of £300k a week.
He's going to limp over the line for the record with goals/penalties agaisnt Ipswich, Sheffield United, Brugge. Crap.
You seem interested in that more than anyone else tbh. For example, I am not sure I ever mentioned him breaking the record nor I have any idea how many goals he is short of the record. Probably because it won't change a thing about him as our player this year, he will still stay shit, and he will never be great as Sir Bobby, not even close.
The thing is, he doesn't even deserve being in the first XI judging by his performances and being able to break the record, even you acknowladge that. But if it will make you feel better about him then I hope he breaks it.
Yeah, agenda. How do you explain then me criticising Herrera, one of the players I like the most?
We are truly a blunt edged tool with this guy as our strker
shit
Good penalty, well taken. I thought he started decently enough. His first touch was alright and he made some good runs. He faded in the 2nd half though. When he was moved deeper he just disappeared.
Thought it was hilarious when someone drilled a ball into feet (after we spent most of the first half playing the slowest passes known to man) and he, inevitably, couldn't control it.
+ Blind played a lovely fizzed pass that took out 2 defenders into Rooney on the edge of the box to the left. A normal player would roll it on and drive down the left hand side of the box and shoot / low cross or square it to someone.
What does Rooney do? He pushes it back out and does a looped ball out to the right.
Shit. Never mind the penalty
