Thank goodness all this talk of a crisis when there is no crisis hasn't effected Sir Alex in anyway whatsoever:

"Sunday's game against Stoke is the most important thing. This is a bagatelle, believe me."

Ferguson insists Rooney is making the wrong choice in departing United and reiterated his point by comparing insisting that the grass is not always greener elsewhere.

"Sometimes you look in a field and you see a cow and you think it's a better cow than the one you've got in the field," said Ferguson.

"It's a fact, right, and it never really works out that way. It's probably the same cow and it's not as good as your own cow. Some players like to think there's a better world somewhere else. It never really works."

. When the seagulls:rolleyes: follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown in to the sea. just prawns now

I've not heard Taggart mention a crisis. Is there a crisis at the Swamp? I suppose if losing your best player in January because you've got no money to sign any quality players can be looked upon as a crisis then maybe there is. But, i've not heard anything about a crisis at Yernited.

Would've worked better if prawns weren't much more valuable than sardines.

Prawn crisis at The Swamp.

the headline says 'FERGUSON TO TALK OVER ROONEY CRISIS'

Well, that's what we're doing, or at least trying to figure out if there is indeed a crisis at The Swamp. Fergie should come on here and clarify the situation about the crisis.

sung to 'That's Amore'?

I hate him. I'd be very very upset to see him play for us.

He's shit, anyway. And you could climb his face

Nah, there's never anything good in it. In fact, I don't know what I'd want to find tbh. The thought of him whacking it while I'm watching tv in the next room's not one that appeals

He mainly uses this machine for WOW and WOW forumming

Just to clear the air, I NEVER crank star the motor while forumming here. It is strictly one or t'other.

I don't really know. He used to go out more. There were less computers then, I suppose. What choice did he have?
My stepmum, I think he tricked her into thinking he didn't have anger management issues etc and by the time she'd realised, the doors were locked

It makes me feel warm inside knowing that DS is nearly always only a minute away from shooting his load. He's always prepared in case anyone needs a semen sample, for whatever reason, or decides they want to taste some spunk. He's just an organised man. I want his dedication

Manchester City hope Wayne Rooney move would ramp up power struggle
Wayne Rooney would not be the first who tried to shift the blame for his acquisitiveness on to Old Trafford

The smart money says this will end with Wayne Rooney in a Manchester City shirt. Thus the spectacular PR debacle of his hunt for a higher wage will permit City to field two strikers who tried to shift the blame for their acquisitiveness to Old Trafford.

Carlos Tevez sang the blues on the way out, claiming the club's love done left him, when the truth was he and his "owners" were made an un-refusable offer by Sheikh Mansour's men. Up went the "Welcome to Manchester" Tevez billboards, quickly followed by the mercury when the clubs next met.

Rooney's convenient excuse is that United lack "ambition". After 11 Premier League titles and two European Cups in the Sir Alex Ferguson era, this is akin to telling Winston Churchill he was not fighting the Germans hard enough.

For City this is a chance to engineer a stunning power shift. Despite a noncommittal statement from United, Rooney is still thought to be angling for a move, in defiance of the 40 balaclava-wearing protesters who gathered menacingly at his home last night. The Tevez defection was a blow to them but Rooney crossing to the other side would attract the curiosity of John le Carré.

The damage to United's team would be surpassed only by the symbolism. City would like us to think they are building a dynasty in a nice, quiet corporate way. But no club with such grand designs could resist the political open goal of pinching two big shots from a cross-town rival who have tormented them for 20 years.

If the vibes are right, and United sanction the move to maximise their income from a sale, City would hack at the knees of their neighbour, poaching England's best player. United will say knees are reparable and that City could never hurt their soul. This was the message of Ferguson's oratory before Wednesday's Champions League tie with Bursaspor and again after the match. "Potential" was their religion. Common cause was found with Arsenal.

The club would endure any and every loss.

But there is no mistaking the scale of the provocation. Over the last two decades United have squared up to Arsène Wenger's Arsenal and the appropriated Russian wealth of Roman Abramovich's Chelsea. Liverpool, too, jumped back out of the hedge two seasons ago. But this is another kind of class conflict. The enemy is not without but within, luring stars from Salford to Eastlands, threatening a rewrite of the great Manchester footballing story.

Whatever turned Rooney's head in August, it was not disquiet over United's inability to persuade David Villa to leave Spain or the arrivals of Javier Hernández and Chris Smalling. The attempt by his camp to portray him as the guardian of United's aspirations prompted Mark Lawrenson to say with exquisite disdain: "He needs to remember where he came from."

Rooney is no existentialist, no rolling stone. You will not find him on the hills of Cheshire seeking a release from the torment of not knowing where to go. He is a man with a plan. And the word on the street is that plan A involves a pay-rise from the current £90,000 to £260,000 a week at City.

Everyone in football knows these are the sums, which is why Chelsea's interest is opportunistic. There is virtually a by-law at Stamford Bridge that says no player can earn more than "JT" and "Lamps" (John Terry and Frank Lampard). Not even their chum "Wazza". To compete with Abu Dhabi's oil wealth, Abramovich would have to relegate his stalwarts from the top spots in the pay league and unsettle Carlo Ancelotti's league title-winning squad.

Chelsea, one suspects, are merely hovering in case the City move falls through. Real Madrid present a more serious impediment to Roberto Mancini's plan to strengthen his forward line with a striker more dependable than Emmanuel Adebayor. Rooney's advisers are known to have considered Real an attractive destination — given Spain's appealing tax system and the prospect of resuming his partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo — but the manager, José Mourinho, is talking as if a move in January would be impossible, and probably feels not even Real could win a bidding war with Abu Dhabi.

It is amazing to think football hailed the signing of Robinho in the early days of sheikh Mansour's ownership as a "statement of intent". Compared with the plan to buy Rooney it was a stroll to the corner shop. Inside Old Trafford, however, you still encounter monumental stoicism in the face of this assault. United really are falling back on the values articulated by Ferguson. They know they must strike in the market for a household name to reassure their followers but are standing by the policy of youth recruitment.

The best narrative in club football is not this celebrity burlesque but the new struggle between Mourinho's Madrid and Barcelona. But if it is civic strife you like, look no further than Manchester.
