What a twat. Should lose his job like the TV and radio adverts for drink driving always warn.

Former Chelsea and Manchester United footballer Ray Wilkins has told a court he had just two glasses of red wine before being pulled over by police.

Tests taken at a police station showed the ex-England midfielder was almost three times the legal limit when he was stopped near his Cobham home last year.

How fucking big were those glasses?

Rooney

...should be playing your scholes role...

 

[georgie]

Although apparently he's...

angry and confused by Manchester United's comments on his future

Unless they've made more comments about him recently I thought it was the standard "He's our player and we're looking forward to starting the season with him".

Doesn't seem too confusing.

 

[Shagrat]

some of those words are quite big though

 

[megadave]

Does anyone actually want Rooney for 250k a week?

Cavani to PSG finally official.

Serie A would be completely fucked without PSG's money

Napoli are supposed to be rich anyway. Not sure if it's a business model or rich owner but I understand what you mean about the league as a whole

 

[megadave]

Strootman has gone to Roma as well, he was mentioned as another Utd midfield target. Wonder if that leaves De Rossi free to move?

 

[Shagrat]

For all the fluff in the press, do you think any of the big teams in the Prem are going to spend any sodding money? They're leaving it a bit late....

 

[Raven]

I think Rooney's problem is that he isn't as good as his wage suggests but he is too angry and confused to understand it.

 

[Embattle]

Rooney did an Owen, in essence the ability fell below the hype.

Moyes said Rooney is back up to rvp

And a Walcott. Something to do with England obsessively over-hyping young sportsmen and women.

And sod off Shagrat, Spurs just spunked £17m on Paulinho.

 

[Ch3tan]

He said big teams cal.

 

[caLLous]

I knew some cunt would say that.

Fitting that it was a ManU fan from London.

 

[Ch3tan]

Says the spuds fan in France.

 

[Billargh]

At least you can't accuse him of being a glory hunter

 

[caLLous]

Yeah but... shut up.

I'm also a Saint Etienne fan (which is why I'm doubly gutted that Aubameyang isn't leaving France to come to the Prem).

 

[DaGaffer]

Moyes said Rooney is back up to rvp

I'd love to hear the audio transcript from the interview, because if Moyes actually said that, it could only be because he wants rid. I don't believe the man is an actual moron, so its likely it was deliberate to make Rooney officially put in a transfer request. Bottom line is the Rooney is still a fucking good player, but United don't need to pay anyone 250K a week.

Predictions

Man City
Chelsea
Man Utd
Spurs
Arse

And Liverpool to barely stay in the top half of the table on 9/10th place after Suarez leaves right near the end of the summer window.

 

[caLLous]

£10m + Mata for Rooney, I would bite their hand off. Not so much £10m + Luiz.

 

[eksdee]

Honestly if that's true (re: Mata or Luiz the players offered) I think I'll lose all faith in football completely. Absolute lunacy.

 

[DaGaffer]

What's poor Mata done to piss Maureen off? He's a fucking brilliant player; I'd do a swap with him for Rooney and 10m in a heartbeat.

 

[Billargh]

They should be offering Rooney and at least 10m to get Mata.

 

[megadave]

It's not true, that rumour was going around weeks ago, Marca made it up because they hate Mourinho. Mata will get an improved contract extension this summer.

Er, no, its an official bid.

 

[megadave]

Oh yeah all those quotes and sources i'm seeing everywhere prove that, yeah.

@SamWallaceIndy
Chelsea: 'The terms of [Rooney] offer are confidential but for avoidance of doubt ... didn't include transfer or loan of any CFC players'


Like seriously, how could you actually believe that transfer rumour was real?

 

[eksdee]

Nothing surprises me in football anymore, but yeah glad to see it definitely isn't true. We're playing in 40mins, FOOTBALL OMG.

From CFC.com:

The Chelsea team is expected to line-up in the following 4-2-3-1 formation:
Petr Cech; Wallace, Tomas Kalas, John Terry (c), Ashley Cole; Frank Lampard, Michael Essien; Lucas Piazon, Kevin De Bruyne, Andre Schurrle; Romelu Lukaku.
