It's closer to 1 goal every 3 games.

All this "he offers more than goals" shtick is just trying to gloss over the fact Rooney hasn't fulfilled his potential. His all round game is actually pretty average. He's not a good passer considering he often plays as a trequartista, he is not the finisher he was when he was a teenager, the Rooney of old would leather the ball and was very clinical whereas he's missed tons of sitters this season alone. He is very good, but needs to sort his consistency out.

Why would I want Rooney to fail? I'm English.

My local team.

I thought I was an ABU though?

Hiding behind an handful of ticket stubs doesn't cut any ice with me.
You have to be born a red. It's in the blood! It's in the soul! Once a red, always a red.

I'd rather take shit off a through and through loyal Scouser, than a scarf swapping, out of town glory hunter. And that's saying something!

But you did say I was an ABU. I grew up supporting them but they aren't my local team, as I got older I decided to follow my local team. What a crime. I've traveled all over to see United play anyway.

You're going off topic though.

Heard it all before

If I was a glory hunter, surely I'd still follow United and not a team who will probably be in the Championship next year?

I take it back...you're not an ABU.
You're much worse than that!

Not sure how attacking me has anything to do with the discussion?

Because you make ridiculous and unreasonable claims based on what appears to be a biased opinion.
Despite the facts. It's beyond a matter of opinion.

Biased how? So because I don't agree, that means I'm biased?

right-track · 02-07-2013, 01:23 PM

You're biased because you just don't like the man.

I couldn't care less if he was a serial killer. So long as he returns stats like he has for the cause.
Admit it...you just don't like the guy for personal reasons...
