He is not as good as a lot of others think he is (just because you are English and from Liverpool doesn&#8217;t mean you are the best in the world).

His antics off the field have been shameful, to say the least (and he was not playing well before any of that broke).<\/p>\n<p>He has upset ALL Man Utd fans with his comments and actions over the last week (and they began back in January, from what Alex Ferguson appears to have said).<\/p>\n<p>OK. That&#8217;s all the bad stuff. The good thing is: he is now a heck of a lot richer.<\/p>\n<p>So, in order to win back the fans and avoid looking a complete prat, Mr Rooney is going to have to perform<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>better than he has been doing<\/li>\n<li>better than he ever has done<\/li>\n<li>better than anyone ever gave him credit for<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Only time will tell if this is possible or, if it is, if it is enough.<\/p>\n<p>Still, at least it kept Arsenal&#8217;s outstanding performance (and Chelsea&#8217;s more mediocre efforts)\u00a0in Europe in the week off the back pages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDIT: LOOK AT THE DATE THIS WAS FIRST POSTED.
