Never said he isn't a great footballer, just find him particularly annoying! We hate that 'if someone makes bodily contact throw yourself to the floor and yell like you've been shot' style of play, and he's very good at it - refs have to warn him about it regularly. (I equally hate it if someone on our side tries it, I love football for the skill and I don't think that kind of stuff belongs in the game.)
I thought they thoroughly outplayed us til Rooney got ejected, but then we stepped it up a gear and probably had the upper hand. Always sucks to go out on penalties, but we haven't been playing our best anyway - we're very ready for a new coach
