Not an urge that I recognise? Just checked my calendar and its still September.... doesn't usually knock off for his holidays and wind the season down till January.

He would be as much use to us as tits on a bull right now. We aren't competing, we are overrun, the players don't know their roles, we are changing formation left right and centre. Lukaku would be stood there huffing and puffing waiting for a ball... All very well looking at him enviously whilst United play pretty poor sides. He has been given the luxury of being the recipient of pretty straight forward chances. Let's see how he does againSt the better sides. I agree, having Lukaku wouldn't have made much difference at all. Maybe he could have scored off a powerful run but he only did that once or twice a season. Our problems are bigger than the difference between Rom and DCL/Rooney. Im sure Man U fans don't give a shit about the type of chances he is scoring. As long as he is putting them away then that's exactly what he was bought for. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Intetesting that the classless sod said his hands to ears was a response to the jeers for the free kick that hit the wall. Can he explain why he did the hands to ears when mikheterian scored? Horrible piece of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paddock Posted September 19, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 He was given dogs abuse by some of our fans- the same fans who laughed at him because he didn't run enough, the same fans who sneered at his first ouch, same fans who said we wouldn't miss him and United fans wouldn't put up with him. Why would he give a fuck- he's single handedly scored more than our whole team collectively but just scoring goals didn't matter and wasn't everything- some where more arsed about how far he ran. He was the best thing we had and it's painfully obvious now he's gone what he gave us. Before you fly off on one Haf, those comments are not directly aimed at you but a whole group who had the same opinions. markjazzbassist, nyblue23, Baba and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did I say he was too good for us? If you're going to bitch about my post at least have the balls to quote and address it directly. Our fans, rightly or wrongly heckled him all game- when he scored he heckled back- respect is a two way street. I couldn't give a flying fuck if he celebrates against us, he plays for Man U now not us- so what if he celebrates. The same fans heckling him are the same ones outside and inside the ground who moaned and booed him because he didn't jump for headers enough, run the channels enough yet he was rattling 20 odd goals a season but that wasn't important. State of us now he's gone- puts it all inperspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baba Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Rooney, a lifelong Evertonian, celebrated in front of our fans and kissed the united badge after he'd scored, following relentless abuse from our fans. United's fans, by contrast, gave Rooney a decent welcome on Saturday and applauded him when he was subbed. The neutral might be drawn to think that United fans are respectful and classy whilst Everton fans are bitter and spiteful. I'd hate to think that that might be even remotely true, I really would.

Totally different circumstances. Rooneys career at United had finished having been record goal scorer and winner of every domestic medal there is.

Bailey Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'm glad he celebrated like that. He took a lot of stick here and I don't get why some fans are that sensitive that when they give it back. When you compare the abuse he got to cupping his ear in response it really is nothing.

"Manchester United are the best represented Premier League side, with six players - Romelu Lukaku, Antonio Valencia, Paul Pogba, David de Gea, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Nemanja Matic, who is also nominated for last season at previous club Chelsea." So Matic is nominated for his performances at Chelsea last season and Lukaku is nominated because he's a ManU player? Poor journalism.
