Rooney - a role model for a another type of striker?


A few weeks back I penned a 'defend the indefensible' type of spiked article that appears like one of those 'this will be big news for you sunshine' rants designed to bait the liberal left. This time it was on Rooney's 100% pay rise that he managed to prise from Manchester United. Interestingly enough, Simon Jenkins in the London Evening Standard yesterday penned an article attacking London Underground workers - who I championed in the Rooney piece - in exactly the same what-about-the-poor manner as the anti-Rooney journalists before hand. Politics, a funny old game, innit?
