Wayne Rooney signs five-year contract with Manchester United Posted: 22 Oct 2010 04:54 AM PDT There’s no punchline: this is the truth There’s nothing like a death threat to focus the mind, and that certainly appears to be the case for Wayne Rooney. Wazza has told the circus to pack up and move on by signing a new five-year deal at Manchester United. What’s changed? Wayne said: “I’ve talked to [...]

Video: Rio Ferdinand and Sir Alex Ferguson merk Wayne Rooney Posted: 22 Oct 2010 04:44 AM PDT You got merk’d, Wazza Those cheeky pranksters Rio and Fergie have been having a laugh at Wazza’s expense this week.

Video: Ian Holloway’s already infamous rant on Wayne Rooney Posted: 22 Oct 2010 03:35 AM PDT Blackpool boss goes mental Blackpool manager Ian Holloway launched this unexpectedly vociferous tirade against Wayne Rooney and player power in the wake of recent developments. Among other things, Ollie manages to compare Rooney to a walking house, which you don’t get too often in interviews with football managers. He also hands out gushing support for [...]

The world is watching. A huge weekend for… Posted: 22 Oct 2010 03:27 AM PDT Another management casualty predicted? Alex McLeish The estimation for this season was that Birmingham would be the predictable team in the Premier League: Nothing special, but no relegation danger, and finishing between 8th and 12th in the league.

Nike store vandalised with Wayne Rooney death threat Posted: 22 Oct 2010 03:16 AM PDT Never supply the boots of a marked man The Manchester Nike score has been vandalised with a death threat to Wayne Rooney. A poster of Rooney at the shop front has been emblazoned with the message: “JOIN CITY AND YOU’RE DEAD.” Aside from the overall hatred and concerning content, you have to be generally impressed [...]

Video: How to deal with an opponent who wants to stop your timewasting Posted: 22 Oct 2010 03:00 AM PDT Play dead You often see British players in European and international games suffer from this: they have been fouled and either have a bit of a knock or just want to waste a bit of time, only for an opponent to hoist them back on the feet. That was the situation in last week’s African [...]

The big question after last night’s Europa League action: what the hell was Andy Townsend wearing? Posted: 22 Oct 2010 02:34 AM PDT Silky skills Andy Townsend’s mum was obviously well prepared for the Christmas party and had already picked up this silky little number from George at Asda. Imagine her dismay when Andy raids her wardrobe and wears her new blouse on national telly. She can’t wear that now! Shame on you, Andy.

David Ngog suffers identity crisis, thinks he’s Martin Kelly Posted: 22 Oct 2010 02:26 AM PDT There’s only two Martin Kellys While many Liverpool fans were wondering why there was not Jamie Carragher on the pitch at the start of the second half of their Europa League tie against Napoli last night, they could equally have been forgiven for wondering why there were two Martin Kellys. Striker David Ngog emerged after [...]

Brazilian referee cries after injury Posted: 22 Oct 2010 12:00 AM PDT Ref goes down quicker than a Rooney escort An injury to a referee is on a list with ball boys falling over and Nani getting booked for diving for things that we like to see.
