Mackay has been sacked, not a surprise but just read he wanted to know why the goalkeeper hadn't scored yet and demanded to play in red for every game.

What is it with playing in red? The colour definitely seems to be what he's interested in, more than simply changing the colour, to anything, to shuffle the deck or whatever. Is it supposed to be some kind of research that suggests that teams that play in red win more games?

It's to help with the club's image worldwide as Liverpool and Man. United play in red. He also wants to change the name to Cardiff Red Dragons.

Those quotes regarding the keeper are staggering though.

By 'he' I mean Tan btw, made it sound like Mackay said it.

Here's an unrelated note, and I know he wasn't even playing today but I've been thinking about this, do you guys think Wayne Rooney will eventually top Alan Shearer as the Premier League's All Time Top Scorer?

Shearer hit 260 in 441 appearances before retirement.
Rooney currently sits on 165 in 361 appearances.

Shearer had a superior goal scoring ratio, with a 58.9% chance of scoring per appearance as opposed to Rooney's 45.7%
However, Rooney is still only 28 and arguably could have another 8 years left in him.

Shearer played the more classic center forward role and was an out and out attacker, who would rarely stray out of the opposition's half and had an exceptional set piece record, whereas Rooney has been known to sit deeper and has found himself utilized in different roles (much to his chagrin at times)
But I've got to believe I think in the next (potentially) 8 years Rooney could hit 96 goals which would make him the all time top scorer.

What do you guys reckon?

He basically needs to average 20 goals over the next five seasons. If he stays till retirement (or around 35 years of age) then I have no doubts, but I doubt he will still be around.

No way. Rooney has openly admitted he is the opposite of Giggs and that he won't play for long into his 30s so he'd have to score at a better rate than 20 a season. Won't happen. He might have done it if he didn't get sacked from taking penalties. Should get the England record though.

Sh1tstorm erupting for this lads:



Nicolas Anelka anti-semitic gesture? Quenelle causes controversy for West Brom striker - Mirror Online

Apparently it's anti-semitic. Anelka has defended it, saying it was just a dedication to his friend.

Quote:
nicolas anelka ‏@anelkaofficiel 45s
This gesture was just a special dedication to my comedian friend Dieudonné
Dieudonne - a comedian who has several convictions for racial offenses.

Quote:
The French government is trying to ban comedian Dieudonne M'bala M'bala's shows over his use of the gesture.

Fourneyron wrote: "Anelka's gesture is a shocking provocation, disgusting. There's no place for anti-Semitism on the football field."
Reading that, it appears to be anti-Zionist rather than anti-semitic but as always criticise Israel you get labeled anti-semitic. Or criticise Islam - Islamaphobe. Religion .
