Rooney not World Class

he was overrated to all hell because of his nationality and what league he played in.

excuse me but who rates english players?

He is a top player, but he could have/still can be so much better.

His lifestyle is shite cigs, booze etc but someone like nick will tell you that doesn't matter and the weather in England is just as good as Spains.

Had 18c weather today with occasional bursts of sunlight. Some of the birds even wore skirts today and not all of them were hippos.

u mad, Spain?

Thats bs. Rooney has boatloads of talent that he didn't take advantage of

Also.. I hope your joking about the weather thing Its a rainy day in england almost every damn day

Rooney should have been a reverse libero...

when did i ever talk about weather

all i said is being from the epl and a youth english player he was bound to get overhyped is this really new to you guys?

The weather thing refers to this -

I'll never forget one of the first times I posted on the forum (back in the old Goal.com forums discussing why English kids are meh compared to the likes of others i.e Spain), when I saw nick in all his glory I said how the weather is a lot colder in England. Kids can't always play football outside especially when water logged pitches and snow.

Then went further with how alcohol binge drinking etc isn't good either and how us Brits are notorious for this and nick said it was BS the weather in UK is just as good as Spain and how binge drinking and not being a pure professional doesn't affect a young players development.   

If anyone thinks I'm lying, hopefully there are archives or such to show what was said, RG hook it up.

This forums obsession with the Ballon D'Or is ridiculous.

This

Anyway, who gives a shit about the Ballon D'Or? I think the Ballon D'Or is a stupid thing and it doesn't mean a lot.

Other facts are priceless.

will likely finish only behind Shearer, and pass Charlton for the club record, and Charlton for England all time record by time his career is done.


but will still be called a shit player by rival fans

easily the most scrutinized player of this era

He should take his talents to Madrid and join his old pal Cristiano

He's called a shit player by his own fans ffs

the hate rooney gets is something i'll never understand.
if the dude was black, i'd be 100 % convinced that it's racism .
he's on the brink of becoming both england's and manchester's top scorer , and is the third goalscorer in the history of the premier leauge , all this before the age of 30 ffs .
