Noticed that last night  Monty Chuckle 

was, by far, the most exciting thing about the game.

That's Rooney retired. Massively underrated player I think.

At his peak he was an absolute joke

Outstanding player. His work rate was something else. Declined badly towards his thirties, but can't argue with all the records he broke.

Would also say under rated but probably only in England, think outside of their toxic media/fans folk know how good he was.

Always argued that when playing with Tevez and Ronaldo, he was the least important of the three. Had a couple of right purple patches, where undoubtedly he was untouchable in England, anyway. Overall, a great player but not sure he ever really lived up to the early hype. Not the first, mind.

I'm sure he's Man U and England's top scorer? He was much better than Tevez come on to fuck.

When they were playing together in that United team, not arguing that he hasn't had a better career than Tevez, he undoubtedly has. Just saying that in that fearsome attack I thought he certainly wasn't top boy Mr United.

I just think there's a much shorter lifespan on that style of play.

He was a grown man at 16 and playing regularly so was always going to burn out much sooner.

Rooney was superb in his prime. There was a season or two he was up there in the best in the world chat with CR7 and messi tbh.

I’m sure the season tevez and ronaldo fucked off he scored 35 goals or something Warnock

That's one of my favourite goals to watch. The absolute venom in that strike. Pinilla

The partnership he had with Ronaldo was ridiculous for a couple years. Wasn't just the spectacular goals and the long rangers either, they scored some of the all time great counter attacking goals between the two of them Pinilla

Up there with Augenthaler's into us. 'Not even the finest goalkeeper in the world could have saved that".

I think he went up top as the main man and he was unreal, probably sacrificed his main attributes for the team a lot of the time, something the boy Messi and Tevez ( Titter ) couldn't even compute.

Tevez was the one that made that team click with the workrate, and I think he scored morre goals than Rooney, iirc. Had half of Redcafe raging over the Tevez>Rooney WUM. Monty Chuckle though it wasn't a wind-up!

Eventually got banned for insisting Gordon was better than de Gea. Monty Smug

Agree about tevez but messi has been sacrificing his main attributes for the team since Xavi and iniesta left and he's had to do their job on top of scoring a goal a game.
