Trawling through Twitter and the majority of pundits and journalists are still defending Rooney. Incredible how these people get paid to give opinions on football. He's a mid-table player at best.

[danielbuggery]

It's mates doing favours for mates I guess, or trolling the masses by expressing an unpopular opinion to make a monetary or reputation gain, even though you don't really believe it yourself aka Adrian Durhaming.

It does seem to have been picked up more this weekend. He was clearly bad yesterday. If he had to start, I'd shove him out wide like Fergie used to and make use of those flash in the pan good crosses he makes every once in a while. He's not a No.10 or a central midfielder.

He's not the only problem at Utd but he's one of the big ones. I have faith in Jose to eventually phase him out especially if he can drop Schweinsteiger like a stone and 3 of his 4 signings all play in positions that Rooney is aiming for.

Utd seems to have gone game of thrones these past two days. We've seen a universal opinion of negative press on Rooney, to a point where you could argue the media have briefed by someone to do it.

And tonight we've had an info leak on negative aspects of Mourinho...Gee I wonder who could have done that.

[The Quito Diet]

Would very much make sense that Rooney is the source of the leak, would also explain the presses devotion to championing him regardless of how useless he's been for the past 18 months.

Hope it all comes tumbling down and United lose patience in him, if he's given the time he'll probably win them something but it'll require a mass clear out and I don't know if even he will be big enough to do it. Though that said once Rooney goes it's only really the likes of Carrick and Valencia who're the long standing players to be moved on.

[danielbuggery]

I think it's Rooney and Carrick. The article says a source has said that Jose was worse than Fergie, which narrows it down to about 5-6 players in the squad. The article also has a part which fellates Rooney in word form.



Plus Rooney and Carrick have previous of doing it before.

There is something absolutely beautiful about the idea of Rooney being replaced by Danny Drinkwater.

[you give me rrrroad rrrrage]

If this is what Mourinho now does to teams can he go back to Real Madrid next season plz? And maybe West Ham after that?
