What was that shit that Allardyce came out with about how he can't tell Rooney where to play?
What a load of utter wank.

That might work if he was anywhere near as good as Allardyce thinks he is.....and he's not, by a long way.  Messi, Ronaldo and others close to their abilities play for the team, not themselves.  Might as well not bother with a manager and let Rooney pick the team and decide tactics.



I'm sure Rooney thinks he's like Pirlo.

He's actually holding England back by not retiring. I get the impression that the other England players feel the same.

Rooney wont be wasn't good for anything come the next at the last world cup so way as well fuck him off now

Fixed

Jaap Stam trying to get Reading playing out from the back like they're Ajax which ain't going to work when you are a pretty poor team. Reminds me of when Lambert came back from his Borrusia Dortmund scouting trip and decided that Guzan wasn't going to kick it out but pass to the full backs who went towards the corner flags. That worked well didn't it?

It's for the 3 trophies they've won in their history. I shit you not. 1 FAC, 1 UEFA Cup and 1 league title.

TBF, they are playing a team that have struggled to get into the top 5 recently....

Sinclair scoring in the Old firm game. Found his level methinks.

Mourinho has fucked this up. Everyone knows that to play against Pep you take your chances on the quick counterattack, but he plays Lingard and Rooney instead of Martial and Rashford. They were lucky to score and they're lucky not to be losing by three or four.

Watching citeh makes you realise how ludicrous some of Tony's purported aspirations are. Top three European clubs in 5 years

De Bruyne is a fantastic player

Should have been a penalty by the goalie on Rooney.   Anywhere else on the field, that's a red card.
