Hi Chris,
I agree with you 100% i don’t want you to knock the shit out of him i can do that lol.
Its just that i get so angry and frustrated, i have followed Manchester United all my life,
i remember well people going to work early morning in the fog and snow working in the
factories all day coming home to cook tea for the kids, trying to pay their bills and at the
same time save a few shillings to go to their much loved football club on the weekend ,
these are the fans who carried Manchester United through the thick and thin of hard times,
as did supporters of other clubs, a lot of players in those times had jobs and earned extra
money playing football, and I’m talking of players with unbelievable football skills, one in
particular, Stanley Mathews, who never played for us, but was absolutely brilliant.
now we have players living in million dollar homes, in the beautiful Cheshire countryside,
and good luck to them its a sign of the times, they have everything they need to have a
wonderful life, Rooney makes more money in two weeks than i made in a lifetime of hard
work, am i upset? not at all, but when he bites the hand that feeds him, and it happens to be my
football team it brings back those feelings i enjoyed in the ring in times past. ANGER.
Am i old fashioned? perhaps i am, but loyalty is something i take very seriously, if Rooney
had the loyalty of Giggs Scoles even Ronaldo who even though he left has
always professed his love for the club, and gave his all, so like you say Chris i hope Rooney
rises to the challenge, and hopefully shows some loyalty just like those loyal fans of the
football club he is playing for.
