Haha. Good analogy, bly. I would add to it, would you take your wife back after she slept with your best friend in front of you while you were too pissed to move. All the time, whilst you watched, she had a big grin on her face.
No chance!
This thread makes me laugh. If he came back (a decision of which none of us would be able to influence either way), everyone would be stoked. A few titty lips and typical nobheads spitting their dummies but for what he could do for the club I think most sensible people would see past the panto antics.
I was stood amongst the absolute horrible [Poor language removed] name calling and insults that young lad had to endure whilst waiting for the whistle to kick off and to be honest I was shocked he never turned round and did a Cantona on some proper [Poor language removed] in the crowd.
Maybe I'm getting old but I do think some people go too far with their insults at footy.
If it was in a crowded pub and they did it to the lad he'd be flying over with his fists out, so he did the only thing he could and he knew it would get the reaction it did. I'm almost willing to say good on him, but at the end of the day what he did was [Poor language removed] all, he did it for a reaction and he got it and he smiled about it. The nobs in the crowd went ballistic it was pure panto genius, shame its not on tape.
So far as Rooney moving to ManU, I believe it was best all round. The money we got gave us a shot in the arm and we have a lot of decent players now down to the fact that we got the money for Rooney. He got to go play in the CL and test himself.
If he came back a bit wiser in 5-8 years and in his press conference said something along the lines of "I went so Everton could have the cash from my move and build a better team" I wouldn't be shocked or annoyed at what he did.
Let me go get my flame proof suit.
