Great result, was a good game.

Did anyone notice in the Liverpool game Gerrard dived twice and the commentators barely mentioned it. Garcia dived and they were outraged that the ref didnt give a yellow card.

this survey on players wages makes interesting reading

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4898392.stm

only covers their basic wages and not bonus money,, etc

also seems alot of them would support a wages cap so maybe they not all greedy after all

I seem to remember that he held out for more money before signing a new contract at the start of this current season, it just seems a bit strange that a defender is earning more than say Rooney who is on ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£30,000 per week.

as far as i know Rio is the top earner.. Wayne get's less as I don't think Fergie wanted to give a youngster 100K a week at his age.. in a few years time he would have to be on double that

that survey only covers the basic wages though and not scoring bonus.. win bonus, appearance fee.. plus each player has boot deals.. sponsors etc etc to take it even higher

Rooney is on 50k according to the tabloids over the weekend in the stories about his gambling.

Fire crews called to Old Trafford

Firefighters were called to tackle a blaze at Manchester United's Old Trafford football ground.
Crews were called at about noon after a fire started at the rear terrace on the seventh floor of the stadium where building work is taking place.

The fire service said it was put out within 40 minutes by three fire engines and an aerial appliance.

More than 25 firefighters dealt with the fire and building workers were cleared from the site.

Scaffolding and a gas cylinder being used at the building site at the ground were involved in the incident, said a spokesman for the fire service.

Funny that one tabloid failed to mention it. The same tabloid who are currently staging a love-in with Wayne and Colleen.

Couldn't possibly have been because they are being sued by a Mr Rooney could it? :p:

Newspapers to pay Rooney damages

Manchester United and England footballer Wayne Rooney has accepted damages of ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£100,00 0 from the publishers of the Sun and the News of the World.
The newspapers had falsely reported the striker slapped his fiancee Coleen McLoughlin during a row at a nightclub in Cheshire in April last year.

Rooney has always strenuously denied the newspapers' story.

The Sun claimed he had been enjoying a night with his fellow United stars when the alleged incident took place.

rooneys age be a factor in his wage. Younger players generally earn less.
