    Hate retinned scum.
    .
    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



    May the Lord bless this post.

        Rafael pulled up with an ankle injury. Nani injured last game. Smalling playing volehouse football. Jones back in manure's defence. Rooney nowhere to be seen. Its all glorious sunshine from here.
        One tit for another.

              Moyes loses cool over Rooney exit reports

              By Tom Williams (AFP) – 2 hours ago

              LONDON — Manchester United manager David Moyes lost his patience after being questioned about unsettled striker Wayne Rooney following his side's victory over Wigan Athletic in the Community Shield on Sunday.

              Rooney is reportedly unhappy at Old Trafford and has been the subject of two unsuccessful bids from Chelsea during the close season.

              He was left out of the squad due to a shoulder injury at Wembley, where Robin van Persie's brace gave United a 2-0 win, but Moyes said media reports about his training programme have been inaccurate.

              Rooney trained with United's reserves this week after hurting his shoulder in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Real Betis, but Moyes said that was at Rooney's request, rather than as a form of punishment.

              "Wayne has trained, and some of you might not like hearing this, but I didn't fall out with Wayne," Moyes told reporters during a terse post-game press conference.

              "Some of you wrote untruths. Wayne trained with the reserves because it was his asking. He couldn't have (physical) contact, he had a shoulder injury.

              "In case you don't know, we used him as a floating player, which means he doesn't play for either team, he plays between either team.

              "He played as a floating player so he didn't get injured. So any of you who wrote anything else are misleading your readers."

              Rejecting the suggestion that he had grown tired of discussing the Rooney saga, Moyes added: "I'm quite enjoying talking about it because I'm hearing so many of you (journalists) getting it wrong.

              "And I know most of you, and I think to myself, 'I think you're a bit cleverer than that, you boys.' But some of you aren't acting that way at the moment."

              When asked to confirm that Rooney was still not for sale, Moyes replied, "Correct."

              And when he was questioned about the wisdom of holding onto an unhappy player, he snapped: "Why are you asking me again? He's not for sale. There's no more answer to your question."

              Rooney did not play in any of United's official pre-season games due to hamstring and shoulder injuries, but he was nonetheless called up by England manager Roy Hodgson for Wednesday's friendly against Scotland.

              Moyes insisted he was happy with Rooney's selection and said it would help him return to fitness in time for the start of the Premier League season next weekend, when United visit Swansea City.

              "I want him to join up (with the England squad)," said Moyes, who succeeded Alex Ferguson as United manager on July 1.

              "He trained with us yesterday (Saturday). He's not ready, you'll probably see that in the game. He'll probably play a chunk of the game.

              "He's had no football. He's had 45 minutes against Real Betis in a friendly when he hurt his shoulder. Apart from that, since the day he got back for pre-season, he's got no match action.

              "So you probably wouldn't expect somebody in that condition to be playing for a long period.

              "He's coming back, he's breaking himself back into the team. It'll be great for Manchester United because hopefully Wayne will get some playing time.

              "He wasn't ready for today's game, but he's got a chance of being ready for Wednesday."
              Thanks very much for being

                Trying to bully the press already except he hasn't got the untouchable air of his predecessor to stop them turning on him when things get dodgy.

                  I'd imagine its dawned on him the level of pressure he's going to be under now he's taken over from the dark lord. A battling loss or draw against a top 6 side isn't going to be seen as a good result anymore

                    At least he's not changing, he was the same vile, moody ****bag at Everton, refusing to answer questions, storming out of PC's but no one gave a **** as they're a nothing club.

                    I detest Swansea and their ****ty fans but hopefully they dish out the beating of a lifetime next weekend on and off the pitch.

                          Bit of an odd comment I thought.

                              He's like a rabbit caught in the headlights. He doesn't know how to react to anything.

                              Before the National Anthem started playing yesterday, he started shaking hands with the officials like a testicle and had to go back. And then you have Vidic handing over the Community Shield to him. He looked like he was going to burst into tears.

                              If some of you have read PhaseofPlay's posts on RAWK regarding Moyes and Hodgson's coaching methods compared to Ferguson's, Mourinho's, Benitez's and Rodgers' I hope he is damn right. He's stuck in the dinosaur age with his methods.

                              With the squad at his disposal, I still expect them to be one of the top teams in England due to the mentality instilled by Ferguson, but as he builds his own squad, I expect it to fall apart over the coming years.
