ROONEY THE NUTTER , WILL HE EVER LEARN?

WAYNE ROONEY could miss Manchester United's opening three games of the season after being sent off in disgrace again last night. Rooney, whose World Cup ended with his red card in England's quarter-final defeat to Portugal, caught Porto defender Pepe Ferreira with his arm as he jumped for a 41st-minute header. The 20-year-old, who at first refused to leave the field, pleaded his innocence. "I thought the referee was going to give a free-kick for a foul on me, because of the defender backing in," he said. "I can't believe he sent me off for that."

And sir alex defended his little lunatic by saying: He believes Wayne Rooney is being singled out for special treatment following his pre-season red card against FC Porto.

Sir alex of course he is being singled out because he is the single biggest idiot playing professional football in the world today (Lumpy Lampard included), most players with a reputation like Rooneys would try and be a little bit careful after his disastrous world cup adventures but this boy simply does not have the brain cells to relies that.
The most stupid things about Rooneys indiscretions are that most of them are done while not trying to win the ball but in off the ball action, the sarcastic hand clapping to the ref last year that also earned him a red card sums it all up, its not that he does not understand the rules its just that he does not have the intelligence or the will to control that temper.
I think Wayne Rooney for all the talent he has, will be more remembered for his hot head and red cards rather than his football abilities when his career is all done and dusted.

MAINZ 5 LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB 0

Liverpool completed their pre-season preparations by crashing to a 5-0 defeat against FSV Mainz in Germany.
With next week's Champions League qualifier in mind, boss Rafa Benitez started with a strong-looking side but a five-goal second-half blast from the hosts ensured a spectacular defeat.

Normally i would not care about the result of this game after all its just a friendly and our players are more concerned at the moment about building up there fitness, but for gods sake this is a shocking result we had a lot of players back against a second rate german team. I would expect better from the Liverpool fc reserve team, how low is the teams confidence right now, less than 1 week away from our champion league qualifying game agaist Haifa.
However after our performances and results in our first 2 preseason games maybe this thrashing is a blessing in disguise. Surely this has to set the alarm bells ringing in the players minds ahead of next weeks game and it may even get the players to start grinding out results early in the season, a period that has cost us dearly in seasons gone by.........but only if the players relies that friendly game or not this is not good enough for Liverpool Football Club.
