Is Mourinho setting Rooney up to fail?

I don't care one way or another. They both think they are better than they really are

Yes. I wonder if Mourinho will last the season.

Well personally I hope not. I can't abide the jumped up little phart. When his team is successful it's down to him, when they lose its the referees fault. When you compare the diabolical shite that was thrown at BHA end of last season, and the honest and decent reaction of Chris Hughton toward all that....makes me truly grateful we've got him at he helm.

Wooney is the only player it seems immune from the 'badger the ref' clampdown. It seems each and every decision the relevant official makes is open to question.

This. He did once threatened to be world class, however that time was during the Euros in 2004. Since then - absolutely nowhere near.

Exactly what I've been saying for years. He peaked at a very early age and has never shown that form since. Sure he might do it sporadically but is too inconsistent and I can't remember when he cut it for England.

Come on ... Who gives a flying **** if he is

A bit like Michael Owen, both players at 18 looked destined to be the very best in the world.

After a nice TV fix of quizzes then Cold Feet, taking TalkSport if only to hear Goldstein tosser squirm. Cundy is 100% right, and I fear the day Shrek is dropped as Man Utd will become a force again.

Mourinho has said already that he doesn't see Rooney as a "number 6 or number 8

Personally I see him as a number 2, he's passed it, shouldn't be playing for England either.
