He’s going to need to do something special tonight ay!? They’re 1 – 0 down!

And he’s just been carded for… for….. for…. for something. 😕

So Rooney is the British Pelé?

Someone has actually said that??? Or did you just make it up?
Whatever, it’s nothing more than a bloody insult to Pele!

Ha ha! 😆

Pelé spoke of the ‘Beautiful game’.

That was before Rayne Wooney was born….

Aymmmmmmmmmmmmm

Nah, according to Ed on X-Fighters, Rob Warner is the new Pelé.

Dribbles a lot and hasn’t scored for years….. 😀

The quote comes from Ferguson!

Although the Daily Mash provide their own analysis of the comparison!

The ball could ricochet off his behind and in and they’ll be level? But given the form he’s enjoying ATM he probably will do something special…

And Elfin, I really REALLY don’t want an argument but that phrase cant be attributed to Pele I’m afraid…

Did Pele s*** old grannies in some backstreet massage dive or cheat on his wife with some prostitute then?? 😆

Ah – I hadn’t thought of it like that. And yet again the bottom falls out of the wall of another simonralli posting 🙁

Maybe yes, maybe no. But I think the comparison is just in respect of the footballing… 😉

Oh go on. Pleease?

Erm, except that it can, actually. 🙄

Oh what a beauty. When I’m older I want to be Ryan Giggs… 😀

A wee argument then – youll need to save your energy for arguing with one of the accepted progenitors of MTB on the basis of an anecdote told you by your mum on that other thread –

Just cos he jumped on the phrase for his biography doesn ‘t mean he coined it. You coukd have cited an advert on Erectile Dysfunction but he didn’t invent Viagra did he? That’s me, I’m out. If you come back I will ignore it!

Maybe yes, maybe no. But I think the comparison is just in respect of the footballing…

Good job really as I cant really imagine Rooney being a good role model for the kids 😉 oh and he doesnt come close in footballing terms either. I think Rooney is a great player but no Pele. Goes missing in the big games when playing for his country for one…

“And just as Pele is a man of grace and intelligence and a wonderful ambassador for both football and his country, Wayne spent ninety grand on a Range Rover and likes to blow his muck up tarts.”

😆

Well I have been getting into the Campeonato Brasileiro and Neymar has scored some scorchers, although Santos are pretty low down the league right now…

Stuart Hall, BBC Radio Sports Report, early 60’s

Hilldodger-Thats according to Stuart Hall though! Although it is exactly the kind of thing he comes away with isnt it?

That’s according to the bloke who does our local pub quiz in fact…..

Oh well then!

Ahem…

Sorry Elfin, but he started it!

Pele or not, a point’s a point. 😀

Most of you wont have seen this from last night

Here’s a stat for you: So far this season Wayne ‘Pele’ Rooney has scored more goals than the bottom 18 sides in the Premiership combined.

He’s easy going to get 30+ this season. Clearly laying off the pies and the dodgy hookers is doing the lad good 😀

i seen a mate, the other day, he says he’s seen, the new pele, so i ask, who is he, he said he goes by the name of a wayne rooney, a wayne rooney, a wayne rooney he goes by the name of a wayne rooney
its a football chant guys get over it
