Into The Blue

Just 2 rather silly stories today, The Guardian reports on an Andorra player calling Wayne Rooney arrogant:

Asked if Rooney swore at him, he said: "Yes, Rooney did. We were
talking and he said 'I'm a star player' and insulted me. So I insulted
him. In his mind he was thinking: 'Who are Andorra? They have small
players and are not professional.'

"Rooney was arrogant. The
match was a very hot situation and, when Rooney talks, he's very
aggressive. It was a battle. There was a moment when the game was on
the other side of the pitch and he just pushed me."

If I remember this game correctly, there was an attitude problem for the whole of the England team, not just Rooney, so to single him out seems a trifle petty, just following their usual agenda I guess.

The other story is a typical Daily Mail thing, Ronaldo has just bought a new car, and it's blue, brilliant:

The mega-rich owners of Manchester City have put him top of their shopping list - and they will be encouraged by Cristiano Ronaldo's latest purchase.

For the United
winger, who was linked with a move to Real Madrid in the summer, has
ditched his allegiance to the Red Devils and bought a new £340,000
Bentley coupe - in City blue.

(sigh)
