Quiet on tha Set

A feeling of the calm before the storm today, with very little about.
Rooney has a few words on Liverpool:

“Victory will definitely taste sweeter if we pip Liverpool,” said the United and England ace.

And Rooney, 23, couldn’t resist another dig at the club he “hates” when he added: “I’ve never had to endure much Liverpool success. The last time they won the league I was a child.”

I'm not so sure about that. I think I'd rather see Liverpool finish as low down the league as is mathematically possible...
There's a pretty reasonable look at Rooney and England by Martin Samuel in The Mail:

This is what Fabio Capello will do about Wayne Rooney the next time England meet up. Nothing. Nothing different, anyway.

Nothing that takes him to task for his tackle on Alexander Aliev of Ukraine, nothing that makes him feel that he must change the way he plays for England, nothing that will risk harnessing the spectacular, free talent that his coach (and a growing band of disciples) feel may win England the World Cup in South Africa.

There are some players a manager must go with for all their faults or discard, and Rooney falls into this category. Capello is not a fool. He can see the danger, he will know that a reckless challenge like the one against Aliev, even though Rooney won the ball, could be interpreted harshly in tournament conditions and attract a red card
and, in that moment, England’s hopes would go with him.

And the only other thing of note is some words by Tevez on how much he loves us and how much he wants to stay, from The Sun:

"My loan deal ends in June, but I cannot think of any team except United.

"The United fans love me and my family is very happy, both in Manchester and in England.

"My thoughts are only about winning titles with United, and if this happens then I hope I will still be here next season.

"I do not want to play with any other team. I always follow my heart, and my heart is telling me it will be impossible for me to leave English football.

...

"My relationship with the fans is very important to me as a person. Footballers are nothing without the supporters, and it is my job to make them happy.”
