We all know that, by his lofty standards, Frank Lampard had a poor tournament, and let his luck and poor form in front of goal affect his confidence. He missed his penalty, and was the only England player to do so, if the BRM’s are to be believed. Funny how when Lamps does it, he is vilified and abused, but when Ickle Stevie or past ‘We Hate’ feature target Jamie ‘Ratboy’ Carragher do the same thing, with equally inept and equally surprising penalties, they were unlucky. At about that point in the conversation, the BRM’s join in the cacophony of abuse for Wayne Rooney.
I think he was unlucky. Ricardo Carvalho’s near-sterilisation was clearly accidental. The laughable suggestion, from various wags over the weekend that Riccy ‘made too much of it, typical cheating Chelsea’ aside, it was an accident. The Ref was going to book Rooney, and that would be that we assume. End of drama surely? Then someone else got involved. And here is the part where the BRM’s and we here at Vital Chelsea Towers agree completely.
‘The f****** slimy c ***, Cristiano f****** Ronaldo needs his f****** head f****** kicking in, the f****** cheating c*** got him f****** sent off’ seemed to be the general consensus of the more eloquent opinions I`ve heard. Got to say I agree.
Cristiano Ronaldo got Rooney sent off. He knew Rooney would react, and it is dirty tricks again. Yes Rooney has a short fuse and yes he deserved to go, and he let everyone down, but for me at least, the villain of the piece is Ronaldo. Gamesmanship doesn`t cover it, because Rooney is his team mate at United. Perhaps it`s the British in me, but that is, to say the least, not f****** cricket. You shouldn`t do that to anyone, but to betray your team mate, national differences aside, demonstrates a lack of understanding of fair play and of what being in a team means. He basically stuck two fingers up at Man United. Whilst on some distant level that commitment to your country is admirable, cheating to gain advantage is wrong, and he knew exactly what he was doing. Rooney is ultimately to blame, and will get a fearsome punishment from the victim-hungry media in this country, but Cristiano Ronaldo’s cheating, allied to his sickening little smug wink afterwards, means that for me, he is the one that should be castigated rather than Rooney.
One thing is for sure, I’d love to be a fly on the wall when Rooney and Ronaldo meet for pre-season. The suggestion that Rooney was trying to get into the Portuguese dressing room after the game to have it with Ronaldo would certainly suggest that Wayne shares my point of view. Honestly, wouldn’t you just love to see Rooney steam in there and put him on his backside? Infantile yes, but I would love to see it. Wonder if he can wink with a shiner of a black-eye?
I wonder if he will get the chance though? Many people seem to believe that Cristiano Ronaldo will not be at United next season, and I would suggest that selling him to Real Madrid would be better for his health than meeting a pig-ugly but undoubtedly quite hard scouser with a score to settle in some horrible little dark Salford alley. I certainly won`t shed any tears to see him go. I won`t miss his step-overs. I won`t miss his pouting. I won`t miss his crap adverts for crap cars. I wont miss never hearing the end of how good looking he is from all the women in the office, and a number of the gay lads as well. Before the World Cup I never liked him, and there can be no doubt that he is every bit the equal of Arjen Robben, Robert Pires, and Steven Gerrard in the diving stakes, and I certainly won`t miss that. I don`t have much time for Man United but they are a massive, honourable club, and have some decent fans (so I`m told – never met one personally) who deserve better than having this scumbag playing for them. If I was Man U I would be absolutely red with rage that one of our own had disrespected my club like that, and I would want him out.
For his sake I hope he goes, because if he comes to the Bridge in a United shirt next season he can certainly expect a hot reception. He will get a similar one from Leeds, Sp*rs, Arsenal, Villa, Newcastle, and even the BRMs who would take time out from their Chelsea obsession to give him the treatment. Becks will have been proven right. The World Cup did indeed unite the country. The nation will probably unite, not in celebration of winning the cup, but in revulsion and hatred for some slimy exponent of the dark side of the beautiful game. We invented it, gave it to the world, and have been getting the dark, dishonest, perverted game back from everyone else for years. Cristiano Ronaldo is just the latest in a string of players to mug England off, and that`s why he is the latest in line in our We Hate series.
