Shrek and Taggart

[ashton287]

I thought fergie said he was leaving rooney out because he had an ankle injury but rooney said last night he isnt injured and hasnt missed a training session for over 2 months.

So im wondering if fergie is leaving him out and lying about it will he be going spain sometime soon. I'd fucking love to see the back of that prick and see the rags have to rely on berbatov only to see him go back to his old ways. Would make up for liverpool avoiding administration.

[Beefymcfc]

It's obvious why he left him out and a good excuse to drop him due to his poor form. The biggest story here that he has gone up against the wrath of Taggart and basically calling him a liar.

Get the Pullman's out and crack open the Stellla, this should be fun ;-)

You are of course assuming the media would dare pick up on it.

Just what i was gonna say, you won't hear shit about it.

All I heard this morning. Lucky they've got Liverpool to cover it up a bit. More negative Scum stories, whilst today's City-tipping star is Marcel Desailly - happy days.

HE announced he was going to be a Manchester United superstar in the most dramatic fashion.
He became Alex Ferguson's blue-eyed boy, a talisman and icon who powered the club to major honours including the European Cup.

His name became known worldwide as personal honours came his way and talk of him standing with the United greats was no longer an exaggeration.

Then it all started to go wrong. Controversy, off-field attention and a celebrity status started to creep into his life.

Nights out when he should have been at home with his feet up featured more.

Injury began to blight him and hampered his hopes for his country at a World Cup.

The manager became increasingly annoyed by questions about one man rather than the team.

Then when Ferguson thought it had all got too much, he decided the player who seemed impregnable would be left out the team.

An act of defiance would follow as the star began to stand up to the manager.

Yes, that was David Beckham but the story could just as easily be applied to Wayne Rooney right now.

The question is whether the end game will be the same.

Beckham's famous chip against Wimbledon in 1996 brought the floppy-haired youngster to the nation's attention.

Rooney's hat-trick on his debut against Fenerbahce was a sign of things to come in the famous red United shirt.

While both men have always proclaimed their pure love for football, the life outside of it has started to creep into Rooney's game.

Beckham's acts of defiance were many.

His fashion statements and haircuts, which included a mohican, always wound up boss Ferguson.

When Beckham wore a bandana at a fashion show the night before the team flew out on a European trip, Fergie was said to have cried 'Why's he got that stupid handkerchief on his head?'

Yet Beckham refused to let up despite warnings and remained on the celebrity merry-go-round.

Then when it all got too much for Ferguson, he flipped in the dressing room kicking a boot that hit the player above the eye - the end was nigh.

Becks squared up to him that day, Rooney has done so verbally.

Ferguson said an ankle injury had kept the striker out of United's team. But, after playing 90 minutes in England's 0-0 draw with Montenegro on Tuesday, Rooney proclaimed there has never been anything wrong.

It was proof, if it were needed, Ferguson has been resting Rooney following the fall-out from allegations about his dalliances with a prostitute.

He had already barred him from a return to his old club Everton to save him from any abuse over the stories - a game United could only draw after going 3-1 ahead.

Yet Rooney, who joined the Red Devils for £20million in 2004, said playing was the best way to get out of his bad trot.

And this all at a time when the player is not certain to pen a new contract.

It should have been signed and locked away by now, keeping Rooney at Old Trafford for another five years, but so far nothing.

Perhaps both sides can see the end and maybe a fresh start is what the player needs and even wants.

Rooney's ankle injury last March, coupled with a disappointing end-of-season slump for United, will still have been fresh in Ferguson's mind this summer.
Then came his performance in the World Cup with some pointing the finger at Fergie for flogging the forward when he should have been rested.

Roo's most memorable World Cup moment was a blast at fans for booing the team following England's toothless 0-0 draw with Algeria.

Hot on the heels of the South Africa debacle, Rooney was photographed smoking and urinating in an alley during a night out which spilled into the early morning.

When the question about his behaviour was put to the boss at a pre-season friendly in Ireland, the trademark 'I'm not getting into that' reply combined with the reddening of his face said it all.

For those who covered the club when Beckham was here, the sense of deja vu was strong.

One can only imagine Fergie's reaction when the papers dropped as Rooney's extra-marital affair was made public.

Ferguson has been irritated with the attention given to Rooney with England. He ruled him out of the 2006 World Cup because of a metatarsal injury only for the player to ensure he would still be there. Remember Becks... metatarsal... 2002.

Beckham was becoming bigger than the club for Ferguson, so he had to go.

Now Rooney, 25 in 10 days, is starting to dominate the headlines in a similar fashion.

He has not scored in open play for his club since March and United have dropped eight points already this season.

All this time we have seen him on our TV screens endorsing products - his first words about the World Cup came at the height of the current storm as he honoured an agreement to plug a computer game.

For Beckham, it ended with him almost literally being given the boot.

For Rooney, the Old Trafford exit door is starting to creak open.

Two pages in the Times about it this morning.

Imo what has happened here is that Ferguson has given Rooney the opportunity to sort out his personal life by pretending he's injured, thus giving him the chance to spend more time with his stupid wife & fix his problems & his head, (which would benefit both him & the club). If he'd just sent him home, it would have caused all kinds of shit in the media, put Rooney under enormous pressure & also could be seen by his team mates as preferential treatment so he's told the loveable Wayne he's injured 'nudge' 'wink' etc.

Rooney is such a typical, gobby, thick, selfish, scouse, cunt, with the usual scouse persecution complex, that he thinks Ferguson is picking on him, so rather than keep his stupid, ugly, fat face shut, he blabs to the media that he's fit rather than buying the old cunt a bottle of wine to thank him.

I should imagine Ferguson is pretty pissed off about this, so it's not out of the question it could eventually lead to a parting of the ways & it would also suit Ferguson's American freinds to have an excuse to cash in.

If him & Torres end up at City, I think I'll cut my own head off with a blunt hacksaw.

So far I've heard this story on BBC News, ITV News and Radio One.

I dont think the media are as scared of Taggart as they used to be. There are other fish in the pond now.

I reckon the BBC are pretty much declaring war with him now. Bet the twunts on MOTD wont have a go though!

[The blue egg chaser!]

I don't think the press are so scared of Twaggard as we think. The press boys use being banned for his inner circle of reporters as a badge of honour.

I am extremely pleased to be wrong about this. Hurrah.

LOL @ people on bluemoon saying / wanting us to buy him. No thanks.

[Beefymcfc]

Now Sky are on it in a very subtle way. They are saying the England physio said that Rooney was fit to train and was in good condition when he turned up.

They'll be a few on here as well mate.

[Goataldo]

Seems like a total non-story being reported, surprise surprise, in a twisted sensationalist way, much as I'd love it to be a massive schism at The Death Star.

Heard Baconface talking on the radio today; he said that he thought Rooney wasn't fit, whereas the player disagreed and declared himself fit enough to play. 'He always thinks he's fit, that's the problem with him, he always wants to play.' or slurred whiskey imbued words to that effect.

Christ. I really am sick of talking about ManUre. I'm gonna get a shower.
