I had the same thoughts myself today.

I know. It's sad isn't it?

I do not understand why people aren't more up in arms. Why the complacency?

I have learned that you can say just about anything at the local pub. However, should you mention that Mr Rooney is a potato that can kick a ball, well. The lads over at the fruit machine pause to give you the eyeball for a few seconds before going back to sliding 10 pound notes into the Slot of No Return.

Never tempted to say "I had that Wayne Rooney in the back" then? :)
