Hatem Ben Arfa was off to a flyer with the Magpies and that dirty cnut tackles him like that. Was amazed to have seen him wave to the supporters as he was stretchered off, most players have their heads in their hands in utter disbelief, hopefully hes back sooner then later.
On the bright side, Liverpool are crap
Reading the BBC, Liverpool's prospective new owner has vowed to clear the club's debts when it takes over. Hicks and Gillett value the club at 600 million, apparently the prospective new owner has tabled a 300 million bid.

sure, de jong's challenge on Alonso was awful. However, there was nothing in this last one. Hard with an unfortunate result. The Henry one was way worse without the result. de jong has had 3 note worthy challenges make headlines in a brief period. I could put together a entire dvd on the "best of Paul Scholes" and they would be far worse than de jong. Scholes is not a dirty cnut either (though he plays for man u so maybe he is) but he is a dreadful tackler.

I concur...Ya he's had a few horror challenges but I think he HAS shaped up, the cleats to the chest tackle...please. He let up when he realized what was happening. Was more of a message than a malicious act.

Since it may take until 2011 for Liverpool to earn another 3 points (3 draws obviously), I'm enjoying the Rooney saga greatly
Rooney furor hits fever pitch
Let him go and bring in RVN or Tevez.

United would be foolish to sell Rooney to another english club. Sell him abroad and you won't have to play against him or hear about him unless its champions league or what not. Send to to Madrid and Bring back Benzema. I would love to see Rooney stay but his future at Old Trafford looks bleek.
Gutting news for United fans ....... not sure wtf is going on with Wazza but it looks as if he's on his way out of Old Trafford.
Interesting though on the potential suitors for his signature - With his price tag (I'd say a minimum of 60 - 80 million pounds), only 4 or 5 clubs can afford him : Chelsea, City, Barcelona, Real Madrid and maybe AC Milan.

It's hard too say but I actually feel bad for united. I can't see Chelsea wanting him and he said he won't move away so where else is there? Only man city, and tbh I really hate what that clubs done with thier money. If Rooney moves to man city it'll be the worst move he could possibly make for himself. He is an idiot for ruining his relationship with a club that loves him and actually made him the player he is today.
Chelsea did exactly the same years ago, but now the hatred has shifted on to Man City, everyone seems to have forgotten Chelsea were the first club to start spending silly money.
And although Man U do a great job of developing players, I really don't think they've made him the player he is today, I don't think they have done a good job developing Rooney's game at all. He seems less passionate than he did when he was younger.
I hope he's not dumb enough to go to Man City, he will probably go abroad IF he does leave. I think Man U will struggle big time without him too.
Mikey, he's 10 times the player now than he was when he originally joined United as a 18 year old. Yes, his passion was greater when he was younger but if you remember, he was very reckless. Ferguson has channelled his aggression in the right places and is an accomplished international now. He has developed under Ferguson and United and they should and will take the credit for making him the player that he is today.
Just in case you forgot, he scored 34 goals last year and won Player of the Year awards across the board even though he was injured from March onwards. Let's be honest here, he developed pretty fcuking well wearing a United shirt.
10 times? Put the pipe down
He has under-achieved at International level.
No, I haven't forgotten his 34 goals, I had him in my fantasy team all year, and still sticking by him this year too - he's one my favorite players of all time.
He banged the goals in sure. Did he play the same role he usually plays though that year? No. That year he was the main striker and goal scorer.
Man U feed the best finisher non-stop, hence Ronaldo scoring 42 the year before from midfield. After C.Ronaldo left Rooney had to step up - Fergie told him he needed to be the goal scorer. OK, so UTD worked on Rooney's heading - they could claim they made his heading what it is today - sure.
As soon as Ronaldo left, Rooney blossomed. Who knows what he would be like now if he stayed at Everton or went elsewhere? Maybe staying at Everton as the main man may have pushed him to work harder, and achieve more? Who knows, maybe having an injury free period may help him get some form back.
All I know is you only occasionally see glimpses of his magic these days, which is such a shame because he is so fcuking talented. He seems to make so many mistakes these days.
And, he was always going to calm down as he aged, that's inevitable.
Fergie has a way of pissing off his best players - some might say getting the WORST out of them.
Who do you support by the way?
Real Madrid are going to love signing him.

For fcuk sakes
United have improved his heading ??!! Really ??!! Mate, this isn't fcuking FVSL Divison 2 shite training once a week .........
Agreed he's under-achieved at International Level but he's still only 24 years old.
So, what you're saying is that he's finished at 24 because you only see glimpses of his magic these days ??!! For fcuk sakes, at the end of last season he was touted as the one player to lead England to the World Cup. Not only did he have a shocking World Cup but every other that put on a Three Lions shirt in the summer did the same.
Every player goes through a bad period and this unfortunately is Wayne's ....... I expect him to regain his form whether it be with United this year or with someone else.

Erm, exactly??? They train everyday which means they actually improve. Are you trying to say Div 2 players training once a week progress more than pro's who train every day? Sorry I don't understand the above if not.
The stats are there, he hardly scored headed goals, then last year, BOOM headers galore. So MU can have that one, well done, they made him the heading player he is today. That's about it.
Manchester United Striker Wayne Rooney: Recent Headed Goals Reflect Intensive Work In Training - first google result
Wow, your words don't taste too good in my mouth. I don't remember saying that once?
I think he still has a lot to give, I just hope he comes out of this rough patch sooner rather than later, for England's sake.
He had the potential to light up the WC (on the back of his EPL form) but the whole team were dog shite, it takes more than one player to win a game.
I'm sure he will regain his form at Real Madrid. As long as there are some old hookers readily available.
