That was easily the best goal of the season and glimpse of Rooney returning to his best.

Tiger Manc · #**777** February 13, 2011, 09:19 AM

Awesome goal! That should shut the bitters up for a while.

Purbasha T · #**778** February 13, 2011, 10:09 AM

Grrrr!!

Rooney's life in the last few months would actually make a great movie, and like you said, put this in the end captioning "Rooooooney is back"

Now its up to Rooney to prove difference between him and Ashraful.

Read this one on another forum. Thought it was nice.

Quote:

The nicest 'celebrity' I've ever served was a young footballer. Strange to associate footballers with manners, I know.

He walked towards me, and as somebody who's son is a fan of the team he plays for I knew who he was as soon as he spoke to me.

At a hundred miles an hour and clearly flustered he said "I was wondering please if you could help me Miss. Do you sell - I'm sorry, I cannot pronounce it in English. Tagleeeteeelea. I'm sorry. That doesn't sound right. I can write it for you.....oh but my spelling not so good either. Is OK. Thank you anyway."

I quickly reassured him I knew what he wanted and I'd show him where it was.

The whole walk around to the pasta aisle he apologised for not being able to find it himself, for 'troubling' me and even for his pronunciation.

When we got there it was like I'd taken him to a case of buried treasure. his face lit up and he said 'Oh this is it. Yes! Thank you so very much Miss.'

Then he pulled out a 5 pound note and said 'for you'

I laughed and asked him what it was for and he said 'A tip. Because you help me so much.' When i explained that we can't accept tips and it's not generally customary to even be offered them, he blushed and said he was confused with tipping because it's very different where he's from - but to know that he was very grateful.

I finally told him I knew who he was and that my son was a fan. He was very pleased, and we talked for a few moments about his team and then we said our goodbyes.

I told my son when I got home and his face lit up, although he was annoyed at me for not getting an autograph! I didn't even think to ask!

The next day though, I was called by name to the customer service desk - and who stood there but my mystery footballer. He must have read the name on my badge. It turned out that he'd brought my son a signed shirt and even brought an unsigned photo with him so that he could dedicate it personally to my son once he'd asked me for his name.

Truly nice person.

His name? Most of you probably won't have heard of him. Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez.

^^ Not saying this from a United fan perspective, but that is genuinely nice. Proud of you, chica

Full-time Liverpool 3-1 Man United

Tintin · #**784** April 2, 2011, 08:24 AM

Hope people are watching the West Ham match.

When the SL innings ended, WH was leading 2-0 after 62 minutes. At 79 minutes now, Man U is 3-2 up - Rooney scored a hat-trick. The last was his 100th PL goal

_Rafi_ · #**785** April 2, 2011, 08:28 AM

Yup. Time well passed thanks to Rooney.

_Rafi_ · #**786** April 2, 2011, 08:31 AM

4 goals scored by MU in between the interval of the worldcup final. May be they were waiting for Indian audience to watch the goals.

Tintin · #**787** April 2, 2011, 08:35 AM

The way the Indian innings has started, I think I'll stick to football

Tintin · #**788** April 2, 2011, 11:03 AM

Chelsea 1-1 with Stoke - so their renaissance has ended. Now for Arsenal to lose and India to win !

Tintin · #**789** April 2, 2011, 01:32 PM

Arsenal held to 0-0 at home by Blackburn. MU extends the lead to 7 points for one extra match.

Near perfect day for football & cricket

Ashraf-FTP · #**790** April 2, 2011, 11:00 PM

Great Comeback. Woke up at 7 to watch the game after sleeping at 5 >.< Somehow, I always knew we will come back, especially after chicharito came on at Half Time

Rooney's free kick was brilliant. That was the spark that was needed and the rest is just classic MU

The penalty for United was harsh, but Vidic's foul on Cole wasn't even in the box. So fair enough...

al-Sagar · #**791** April 2, 2011, 11:44 PM

now MAN UTD are unreachable ...... arsenal, chelsea and man city should give up title hopes

Isnaad · #**792** April 21, 2011, 01:56 AM

Man Utd forever!

Not a great result against the Magpies. Was expecting better, but form ont he road has been quite crap this season. Arsenal were halted by Spurs in a great game so they are pretty much out of the race now. But Chealsea are pretty much back in it, even though they have quite a bit of catch-up to do.

BTW anyone watched the FA cup loss? It was horrible, simple...

Tiger Manc · #**794** May 3, 2011, 05:58 AM

bad result. important week for Man Utd. They should get past Schalke, but they better not eff it up against Chelski. I'll take a point against them.

Beamer · #**795** May 9, 2011, 10:38 AM

Can you all smell the 19th title? I can...

Isnaad · #**796** May 13, 2011, 06:23 AM

I sure can smell it! Waiting for May 28th eagerly too.

We are the Champions !!!!!!!!!!!!

MANCHESTER UNITED have clinched their historic 19th league title.

Remember this Liverpool fans?

Come back when you've won 19.

Banglatiger84 · #**799** May 14, 2011, 02:06 PM

Man Utd were strong enough to have drawn against Blackburn without the help of a penalty from a trailing leg.
Also funny how Man Utd playersn can surround and shout at match officials, something for Blackburn players have been sent off previously

From my side I hope they play properly against Blackpool ...
