Wayne Rooney
One of the most promising talents in the Premiership today, it’s hard to remember that Rooney is just 21 and already carries the striking burden for Manchester United and England.
Has been criticised for his form but that has always been because a lot has been expected of him.
Can he have a breakthrough season in 2007/2008 like Ronaldo did in 2006/2007?
Time For Michael Owen To Accept The Inevitable?
Some footballing headlines are just so unfathomably inevitable that they may as well remain unreported, with the masses left to just assume that Occam was right about his razor and that parsimony has indeed prevailed. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that, despite being pencilled in to return to action against Wolves in the…
How Do Man Utd Plan To Show Their ‘Ambition’ To Wayne Rooney?
Given their escalating debts and presumably dwindling coffers, the perceived wisdom seems to be that Manchester United may eventually be found guilty of writing cheques that their collective posteriors can’t really afford to cash when it came to promising the world to Wayne Rooney in exchange for the next five years of his footballing career….
Rooney Doubles His Money, But At What Cost?
The abrupt culmination of the faintly ridiculous furore surrounding Wayne Rooney‘s immediate future yesterday left the deflated masses querying what all that nasty skullduggery and public bickering was all about. In the cold light of day, it seems that the short answer is ‘about another £90,000-a-week’. It would appear that, after five days spent thoroughly…
Fergie Time: Wayne Rooney is a Solipsist
Welcome to Fergie Time, a roundup/newsletter type deal that delivers news, opinion and links directly to your screen. As the name suggests, there will be some exaggeration, nsfw moments, canceled press conferences (oh, who are we kidding) and late, late, late scoring of points. You’ll like it, trust me. ROO-TURN: Sometimes it’s hard to pick…
Wayne Rooney – It’s All About The Money, Not Titles
As a lifelong Manchester United fan, Rooney was my favourite United player till last week. It seems almost childish to talk about ‘favourite’ players when you’re a football journalist, but this is no time for keeping up pretenses. Ruud was a legend, but he was gone. Ronaldo was unstoppable, but he wasn’t a fighter. Rooney…
Huge ROO-turn as Wayne Rooney signs new Manchester United deal

This stunning news comes after two major bookies suspended betting on him staying at the football club despite the public revelations by himself and manager Sir Alex Ferguson that he would depart the…
Rooney Faces Moronic Death Threats As Negotiations Stall
After keeping the baying press packs waiting outside Old Trafford all day with the promise of a resolution to the uncertainty clouding Wayne Rooney‘s immediate future, the Manchester United hierarchy delivered an almost inevitable anticlimax at around 19:00 BST last night – releasing a fairly non-committal statement to announce that ‘no significant developments’ had been…
Wayne Rooney’s Man Utd Fate Now Rests On ‘A Game Of Bagatelle’
Much like poker, it’s technically impossible to be ‘good’ at Bagatelle. There is absolutely no art in sending a ball-bearing cascading down through a uniform maze of pins and therefore racking up the big scores is entirely dependent on your luck – or for the less whimsical, completely futile probability. Still, it is this random…
