Wayne Rooney

The curve between 'okay-good' (MLS) and 'great' (top level European) is probably not something I'll ever grasp in the automatic way I can comprehend American sports (outside of hockey) that I grew up playing and watching.

which is part of the entertainment of soccer, I think, I don't have the ability to analyze any of it so especially live it's easier to get swept up in the moment

I'm trying to get into baseball. As in seriously trying, reading the threads, the books, the websites. I watched most of last season and most of the play-offs, and pretty much thoroughly enjoyed it. But I just don't feel I can *connect* to it like people who grew up with it. I feel like I'm way behind you guys all the time, which is frustrating.

The whole transfer and trading stuff ~is a mystery to me~ for one. In football, club A just buys Wayne Rooney from club B for an insane amount of money, and he'll still be shite. It's comforting to know how things play out. I'm trying w/ baseball, believe, but it's not easy.

baseball is ok if you like bad sports, if you like good sports you should watch basketball, we have a board and it is good

also it is weird that flea, the bassist from the red hot chili peppers, has been moonlighting under the stage name wayne rooney and performing soccer crimes for so many years, but i guess touring can be kind of a drag!

^^^ignore this poster

i am a well respected scholar in my field and an historical figure in i love hoops lore

also fuck baseball UNLESS you have doctor's orders that Good Sports will cause you ailments

^^^knows nothing of honkbal

Amateur lip readers online saying it looked more like "are you crazy you son of a whore/bitch"

He definitely said that. The bit that Holgate reacted to was afterwards - when an Everton player’s head was blocking the view of the camera. If Firmino did say anything else he was pretty close to the ref when he did so.

Jesus the Rooney SEO really pulls the lowlifes into a thread

It looked to me like Firmino shouted "puta" to Holgate's face

He does say filha de puta but holgate doesn’t react to that, he reacts few seconds after when firmino mouths the word “negro”, you can’t see it clearly because of stupid jonjo Kenny’s head pic.twitter.com/5UQUB2BvSK

Obvs no way to know what he said when Kenny’s noggin was blocking the view but that seems to be what he reacted to, unless he took a bit of time to translate the previous insult.

(ice) hockey > baseball >>>>>>>>> (American) football >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> basketball

Irritated that the BBC has that programme on American Football on right after Match of the Day tbh.

Why, among US sports, is American Football the one that's always pushed on the frankly uninterested UK populace? Basketball would have a lot more potential, being the least prolix of the big three. Something to do with broadcast rights?

I love American Football tbh

I watched when I was in NYC years ago and found I liked it but I don't think I've ever watched it since.

I'd rather watch ISIS propaganda vids than American Football.

Although tbh, I feel the same way about RL + RU.

Scored a goal and had his nose broken in MLS match tonight

At the weekend, one of Depay's former United team-mates, Wayne Rooney, revealed a failed attempt to help the Dutchman ingratiate himself at the club.

"He came on at Stoke away and messed up for their goal so (manager) Louis van Gaal made him play for the reserves the next day," said Rooney, who now plays for Major League Soccer franchise DC United.

"I said, 'Look, it's a bit difficult [for you]. Just don't come in with all your fancy stuff.'

"And he turned up for the reserve game in his Rolls-Royce, wearing a leather jacket and a cowboy hat. And I just thought, 'What's the point?'

The point, Wayne Rooney, is that you're a cockfarmer.

Fuck not wearing a cowboy hat.

his name is literally memphis

"Yes, that's a hat. That's flamboyant? It's just a hat, I think it's beautiful."

Memphis forever otm.

xp looool

^^ Damning.

I bet moral beacon of our times and man of great wisdom Wayne Rooney is also against cheating and drunk driving. TWP could do with a cowboy hat himself tbh.

Coleen Rooney legal commentary

Rooney's allegation well-worded from a defamation perspective

No direct allegation against Vardy personally but her account - key last sentence - and Vardy's response confirms others had access to account

Suspect a lawyer had input into wording https://t.co/yimktZSbia

google image search results for 'coleen rooney deerstalker' are disappointingly barren

I can't tell both women apart, they look too much alike. Perhaps they themselves couldn't tell who was who and all this will prove to just be a misunderstanding.

Just caught up with this madness.

No wonder Wayne Rooney has been caught every time he rides another woman. He is married to fucking Ds Arnott

I need to know how Coleen used Insta Stories to make all this up. I am picturing screenshots of her standing on a wet floor, dramatic hand on head, caption #thehouseisflooded

revive worthwhile for bringing to my attention the following run of posts

has there ever been a player with more bullshit behind him? i know gerrard, lampard, other english players, but the idea that rooney is some sort of leader who could shake up arsenal is beyond belief.

He's a million miles away from Lampard, Gerrard, Ferdinand or any of those in terms of myth vs reality vs salary vs harnessing an entire footballing infrastructure around.

A million miles. Each of the above was a player that significantly improved the teams they played for consistently throughout their long careers. Everything United or England have done since Rooney became their completely white hope has been despite the heaving infection.
