I am really gutted Danni Alvezs has signed a new contact with barcelona... I so wanted him at City

 

A happy player leaving a successful club where he's playing very well just for money. Fuck that. Dani Alves FTW :cool3:

England take lead against Wales 1-0 Lampard penalty 7 minutes in. That has shut up a very very bullish Welsh crowd but hey it looks like the English have been driven by the almost universal booing of the English national anthem. Not clever Wales.

Unfortunately the second half was a huge anticlimax, as usual.:dozey:

Saying that, Wales were p*ss-poor, therefore England had nothing to beat.

Hows this for a result.

 

Real Madrid 0 - 1 Sporting FULL TIME!

 

Yes Jose Mourinho's 9 year unbeaten run at home at all clubs he's managed has finally ended!

Milan 3 - 0 Inter

 

Dominance particularly since Inter went down to 10 men.

 

Oh and Seedorf's still got it!

Rooney faces anxious wait over possible FA charge for foul-mouthed celebration

 

 

By Sportsmail Reporter Last updated at 11:48 AM on 3rd April 2011

 

 

Wayne Rooney can expect to discover on Monday whether he will face disciplinary action for his foul-mouthed hat-trick celebration.

 

Rooney scored a match-winning treble inside 15 minutes against West Ham on Saturday but sullied the achievement with a foul-mouthed rant captured by TV microphones and broadcast live to an audience of millions. His use of the F-word halted football's much-vaunted Respect campaign in its tracks.

The Manchester United and England striker later issued a public apology but FA director Sir Trevor Brooking has confirmed the governing body will be investigating Rooney's behaviour at Upton Park.

'Tomorrow there will be a decision,' he told BBC Radio 5 Live. 'It was a surprise, after scoring a hat-trick, to react that way. It is something we will have to look at.'

Rooney's tirade came as he converted a penalty to complete his hat-trick and give United a 3-2 lead at West Ham in a match they eventually won 4-2 after trailing to two Mark Noble penalties inside the first 25 minutes.

Rooney marked his third strike in the 79th minute by running towards a TV camera and releasing a volley of abuse as he celebrated his goal with United team-mates within feet of a cameraman and his assistant. Rooney was heard to use the F-word twice. He also appeared to be responding to somebody off-camera.

Sky commentator Rob Hawthorne immediately apologised on-air for any offence caused by the outburst.

The disciplinary procedure in such circumstances is not obviously established. But FA rules state: 'A participant shall at all times act in the best interests of the game and shall not act in any manner which is improper or brings the game into disrepute or use any one, or a combination of, violent conduct, serious foul play, threatening, abusive, indecent or insulting words or behaviour.'

If banned, Rooney would miss part of United's Premier League title run-in, but it is understood that he may escape with a reminder of his responsibilities. Many will view that with alarm, particularly if it comes at a time when players and managers are under increasing scrutiny over their behaviour on and off the field.

Rooney has already apologised for swearing. His outburst, beamed around the world by Sky Sports, prompted an on-air apology from the broadcasters.

In a statement released by United, Rooney said: 'I want to apologise for any offence that may have been caused by my goal celebration, especially any parents or children that were watching.

 

'Emotions were running high, and on reflection my heat-of-the-moment reaction was inappropriate. It was not aimed at anyone in particular.'

Rooney upset England fans during last summer's World Cup when he turned to a television camera and verbally attacked them at the end of the dismal goalless draw with Algeria.

 

The apparent frustrations of both players and managers are under the spotlight, after Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore launched a campaign to target 'unacceptable' criticism of and behaviour towards referees.

 

Rooney's boss Sir Alex Ferguson has already had his say on the issue, and now former United defender and Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has admitted he is sometimes taken aback by his own behaviour when he sees it on television highlights.

'Sometimes on a Saturday night I look at myself and say "My God Steve, what are you doing there?" 'But you become involved, and the game takes over.

 

'It is part and parcel of the spectacle. I don't think it is that bad. If you see players in games abroad, for me that is much worse.'

Bruce believes the best way to keep emotions in check is to allow technology to help referees with tight calls. 'I'm all for technology,' he said. 'Week in week out, we keep seeing difficult decisions cost games.'

But Rooney's blast was condemned by Lord Pendry, the former Shadow Sports Minister who is now president of the Football Foundation, an organisation which funnels £40million a year into the grass-roots game.

Lord Pendry said: 'It is disgusting for youngsters watching television to be subjected to this vile behaviour.

'Even if the words cannot be heard clearly, it is not difficult to understand what is being said.

'Players should be banned and maybe in time, that will make them accept their responsibility to the young people who look up to them.'

Everyone already knows he is a ****. It isn't really news.

He's done much worse things.

The two England captains (not Barry) are worse. Drugs scandal and then for Terry every possible scandal going. He doesn't care, the papers don't really care, a few parents will be annoyed. Oh well.

I just think Rooney's an absolute **** of a human being and an incredibly overrated footballer as well. Only the English media recognise him as 'one of the best players in the world' but in truth he isn't anywhere near that standard. Anyone who's watched him in an England shirt the past year and a half will have realised that he's a clueless nobody on the big stage. When has Rooney performed on the big stage? His performances at the World Cup were utterly abysmal and it was genuinely as though Capello had chosen a pub player for his team. He was that bad. No world class player puts in performances like that.Apart from a brief star turn at Euro 2004 he's done fuck all and has stained his reputation time and time again yet still the English media fawn over him. It's pitiful journalism. But what else do you expect from the English media?

 

He should never be given the time of day. He's done nothing as a footballer or a human to do so.

Good to know I'm not alone.
