Their reaction in not even defending the England star when he was the butt of chants from home fans suggests he has a long way to go to restore his reputation after the way he went about getting his new 140,000-a-week contract.

The next test comes in front of the home faithful tonight when United meet Wolves in the Carling Cup a
week after Old Trafford resounded to an angry backlash against the striker. Rooney will not be there as he is sunning himself for his 25th birthday in Dubai with wife Coleen and resting his injured ankle.

But club captain Neville said: It reality is, when it does all settle down time heals, he will go on to have a
great career and win trophies. We dont want all the sort of wallto- wall coverage in the papers about the club that happened last week. But in the end the right thing has happened for Wayne, for his career and for his life.

Hes made the right decision and the club get to keep a great player and someone who works so hard for the team every week.

That reaction from arch Red Nevillewill be good news for Rooney, whose decision to turn his back on the
prospect of a mega-money move across town to Manchester City was infl uenced partly by the angry mob of supporters who protested outside his house last Thursday night.

But United fans still want him to deliver a proper apology to them. Chudi Onwuazor, editor of blog The
Busby Way, said: He has much to do to rebuild the rapport he once had with us.

His words lastweek were not only confusing but also very insulting. hero Javier Hernandez to help himself to more goals after two at the Britannia made it fi ve from as many starts.

Neville believes the emergence of the 22-year-old Mexican has been one of the big bonuses of the whole Rooney saga.

He said: To be honest, he is one ofthe most exciting young prospects we have seen at this club for some time.
For him to get that second goal onSunday was fantastic for us and he deserved it. He works so hard and he has done so well since he came to the club that Hes tough, hes grown up in Mexico, but what sets him apart for me is
his work rate every single day.Hes got the right attributes. He will score lots and lots of goals
for this club.

Hernandez, nicknamed Chicharito, which translates as Little Pea, will almost certainly partner Federico Macheda tonight as Sir Alex Ferguson doesnt want to rush striker Michael Owen back into action after a groin injury. The United boss could, however, pick Owen Hargreaves for his fi rst start since September 2008 as the England midfi elder has fi nally made some progress in his battle against a chronic knee injury.

Mr. Hodgson Or: How We Learned To Stop Worrying And Blame The Manager

Image
The manager has risen from club secretary to official face of the club since the creation of football teams worldwide. He has moved from the man that kept the record books to man that is larger than the football team he manages. Commentators and pundits refer to Fergusons United or Wengers beautiful, passing football. He even has books written about him. The Manager by Barney Ronay, an excellent book that discusses the rise of the manager into the modern game, unearths some of the origins of the managers image and attempts todiscuss what kind of person the manager really is. While the book wasnt ever intended to be an academic study of the merits of various tactical thoughts of managers, it does address some of the often listed character traits ofsuccessfulmanagers. When all these traits are put together, to many the manager appears to be a father figure, a scary headmaster, a politician youd like to have a beer with, or somecombination. Yet despite all this popularity, he is little mo...

England World Cup camps need to lose doomsday siege mentality

Image
One day last week, near the junction of Maude Street and Rivonia Road, in the Johannesburg suburb of Sandton, a line of smiling young men in shirts and shorts strolled along the pavement towards their hotel. Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben, Robin Van Persie, Dirk Kuyt, Mark Van Bommel and the rest of the Dutch squad waited at the lights until there was a break in the traffic and then ambled across the road. These were some of the best known players in the world, superstars of the game, walking along city streets on their way back from training and looking as though they did not have a care. There was no security with them. None to speak of, anyway. There were no photographers running in front of them and taking their picture. There were no girlfriends tottering along beside them. None of them wore headphones. They did not insulate themselves. They seemed at one with their surroundings. It was only a snapshot of the way the Dutch are living their lives at this World Cup but ...

How an American Influence Is Rubbing Off On Manchester City

Image
Manchester Citys match day experience is becoming more and more American with each new season. While Maine Road was what you could expect a typical British experience of what it was like to see an English football match in the 80s, the City of Manchester Stadium experience seems as American as apple pie. In previous seasons, City have tried to focus on improving the match-day experience. Theyve added buskers, i.e. public performers, around the ground to add to the atmosphere. And recently theyve adopted American entertainment methods such as turning down the house lights before kick-off and trying to get everyone excited for the big match. Theyve also been a pioneer in English football in their usage of American social media sites such as Facebook, Foursquare, Flickr and others to create a bond with supporters. And now for their first home match in the league for the 2010-11 season, against Liverpool tonight, theyre set to unveil two new features. Both of them have a uniquely American...
