Wayne Rooney sees red

Good old Wayne was making headlines again this week for the wrong reasons.
This time it was during the mid-week Man UTD game against Villareal, when after being given a yellow card he "ironically applauded" the referee and received another coloured card for his efforts - a red one.

He's never going to learn how to control his behaviour. Some might say "he's only 19.. blah blah blah". They have a misguided opinion that he will mature and be able able to control himself more than he currently manages to do. Those people will be saying the same in ten years from now. Rooney is a blot on the English football landscape. It's unfortunate that a brilliant player like Rooney should also be a brilliant idiot. A jewel and a blot all in
one.
It was never going to work out. When i first heard of this exciting young footballer called Wayne Rooney emerging at Everton I had a feeling that it was all going to go very wrong before very long. His name was Wayne for a start. It was a bad omen, it really was. How can we (football fans and the country in general) have been dealt such a cruel hand with a possible future legendary sportsman being called "Wayne".

I don't want England to win the World cup next year, especially if Rooney is in the team. How can i say that! (It's very easily actually). I lost much interest in the game at the end of Engand's last world cup campaign when in the second half in the semi-final against Brazil the team did absolutely nothing and showed less passion and desire to win than they do in one of the meaningless friendlies they play. It was at that time i decided that England would not win a big competition whilst Eriksson is coach. Others have said the same since, they just needed another three years to realise the fact. I don't want Engand to win and for Rooney (and maybe one or two others) to become even bigger names in the history of English football than they already are. World cup wins don't come around very often. I mean, many people still go on about the last win which was forty years ago next year. It's really quite embarasssing that we have to fall back on memories of an event that happened so long ago. Infact the majority of English fans don't even have a memory of that event. I just couldn't bear it if we won and Rooney was to score the goal that secured the victory knowing that it'll end up being repeated for the next forty years.

What a shame that one of the top English footballers is also a foul-mouthed hotheaded moron called Wayne who visits prostitutes. What a role model. It could simply be that he is representative of a large portion of today's society. Historians will look back to this time and point to Rooney as being the archetypal "chav" of our time.

There is more to sport than simply winning.
