Did you sigh before you typed it or after?Me sounding daft? And thank you for your validation.
For your information I actually sighed for real. It's a shame some of you have to be so serious and can't just have a little fun. Rooney has gone, it's done, people need to lighten up now. The rest of your post I agree with, which makes it at odds as to why you specifically quoted me out of the blue there? Seems a little odd.
I know, too soon clearly man! But he didn't need to chip us for the reactions anyway, and we won 4-0, so all is good
Wayne Rooney rejoins Everton | United save £30M by giving him £10M pay-off

His best performance at Old Trafford for years
The late Wayne Rooney...I'd be surprised if he won't be benched for the second part of the season. Has to be one of the biggest decline of a footballer in modern times.
Gives the ball away for fun every game for the last 3 seasons. His team mates do it and he screams at them. He's a bit thick.
I have a thing about the online sigh, think that was one too many this evening, probably ought to go back outside
Fair enough mate
He was very poor for the ten mins before he got subbed but he was one of their best players before that. DDG saved us the goal as well.
He had a nice reception from the stands?
I think Koeman is making a mistake building a team around him, instead of building a team and add him to it.
Best thing we've done in a long time getting rid. A season or 2 too late but the financial and sentimental aspects made it nearly impossible to act any quicker (plus our managers were daft)
Koeman is going to lose his job if he keeps playing that system. If they took rooney out and played a more mobile defensive player and played on the counter they'd pick up more points. Their strikers are bad though and their signings were scattergun at best. Think early city.

2 year driving ban. It's probably not his fault though.
He had a couple of decent chances but he was largely gifted them by our defence, to be fair.
I thought he played well yesterday in fairness to him, certainly the best player in an Everton shirt. The shot he put wide was a good move which he started, should have hit the target and wasnt an easy chance but his pass out wide and then run to get his shot off was pretty good.
Two year driving ban is a breather I guess. Specially when his engine had run out of gas three years back and has been huffing and puffing since.
He was good at harassing our defenders and made a couple good chances for himself, but failed to score them. He also gave the ball away a lot, either misplacing passes or just getting robbed by Matic. Think Davies was their best player but honestly their whole team was pretty poor. They need a goal-scorer with pace who will run the channels and Wayne is not that kind of player anymore. And as a playmaker he's not as good as he thinks he is.
Certainly dont disagree with this, Ronald wont be around much longer, he's bought very badly.
Stats seem to agree with you. Danny Murphy was very impressed, though.

Danny Murphy is nearly as annoying and wrong as a pundit as he was as a player.
What did Gary Neville say about him yesterday?
Yeah, Rooney was gash. Murphy's talking out of his hole. A couple of neat little flicks round the corner was his only useful contribution over 90 minutes. In fact, during the spell when Everton started to turn the screw he seemed to scupper more Everton attacks than all our back four put together. It was almost comical at one point. 67% pass completion without creating a single chance is absolutely diabolical.
Been poor since joining them in my opinion. Was poor yesterday despite what the media would have you believe. The amount of times he gave the ball away and got caught in possession yesterday gave a PTSD type flashbacks to the last couple of seasons.
Also watched him against city and he was absolute dog shite, despite the goal. I really don't see what the hell he's going to bring to Everton. For a team that's struggling for pace he is not the antidote.
Also have to laugh at Murphy on MOTD. Showing a heat map of him being "all over the pitch" and using that as some sort of indiction of him being "sensational" is ridiculous and superficial.

If he was surrounded by faster cars, he would look better in comparison.
67% pass completion, my goodness. Even I didn't think it was so bad. Truly poor.
Put a striker up against so many defenders with little to no support his passing completion will be poor.
Don't know why I saw people saying he was their best player yesterday. Was exactly as the previous 2 years with us. Too slow, giving away possession with terrible passing and ruining their counter attacks. Also still doing these Hollywood passes to the flanks often. The chance he missed at the beginning of the half was really poor as well, even with De Gea great save I'm sure another top striker could have done better than him in it. His goal against City went in because of a mistake from their GK. His finishing has just become terrible.
Don't think they collapsed because he left the pitch. It's just us suddenly rising the tempo and improving our decision making in the last third of the pitch.
Still on my opinion that he won't score more than 10 goals this season.

He looked like the pub player who won a competition yesterday. Of course he did a few things that looked quite good, but basically, he wasn't good enough.
He was utter shite yesterday. Are people really saying that was a good performances
Tom Davies was their best player by a margin. The fact that he got first subbed instead of Rooney speaks a lot about Koeman.
Yeah, by far as well. Both Williams and Jag was much better than Rooney as well until the floodgates opened. I honestly cant believe people are saying Rooney had a good game, he was passing more to us than some of our own players did.
After the donkey Danny Murphy concluded that Rooney lost possession only twice, I've tried finding his stats online without any luck. Only stat I've found was that he lost possession three times during the first 15 minutes. Anyone who can find all his stats from the game?
My word, what the hell is this? This cannot be legit?
He was Everton's worst attacking player by a distance and probably only Rashford had a worse game than him on the pitch.
They like to see what they believeHe was utter shite yesterday. Are people really saying that was a good performances
Yup. You're still surprised by this? Same shit, different day with his performances.He was utter shite yesterday. Are people really saying that was a good performances
I used to rate Koeman but feck me, things aren't going well for him. I don't think their summer transfer window was anything special and they badly lack pace. They have had a tough start to the season but they really have looked pathetic. Rooney was a poor buy for them and things may turn sour if this rut continues.
I thought the fact that he didn't play for us now people wouldn't have to pretend anymore. Guess not.

He still is their darling. Just look how many other English players get overrated. Rooney has been shit for too long and I'm glad Jose managed him out
"absolutely brilliant"
absolutely shocking punditry

It's Danny Murphy. The "pundit" who, when Wayne was struggling for England in his new Paul Scholes role (after stinking the place out at 9 and 10), suggested you could push him further back into a no.6 Matic type role.
how do they not get pulled up on this, as its clearly wrong 'expert analysis'. Listening to him last night gushing and declaring he gave the ball away twice was like a poltergeist returning
Collective delusion?
Tbf i think he had a good game yesterday (by his own awful standards) at first half.
Utter dross at 2nd half. But nowhere near the worst player
