New breed stray from Rocky road

I FULLY appreciate there can be no condoning Wayne Rooney’s outburst to the camera at Upton Park on Saturday because kids everywhere will doubtless end up imitating the angry little gurrier.

Nevertheless, I have to admit, what I wouldn’t give for just a soupçon of the same raging intensity from some of the Gunners.

More than likely it should be his manager apologising, as I can picture Ferguson, master manipulator, pulling his striker’s strings at half time, sending Rooney out after the break hell bent on sticking it to his detractors, thereby almost single-handedly salvaging United’s monopolisation of the table’s summit.
