Re: Rooney Misses The Derby
Yes, but you can read it the other way, last year they were not guaranteed winning the league, and they didn't, so a semi in Jan was more attractive, plus it was against us. Whereas now they are in the driving seat and will not want anything to jepardise anything going wrong. In reality Sat the rags were in the shit until Rooney pulled off a 2nd half performance.
inbetween said:IBlue said:The charge comes with an automatic 2 match ban, they won't appeal as it could kick in another game on top for a frivolous appeal. This would mean missing another league game. The thing is the wider picture for them is probably the league so in essence they may have come out of it better as he is missing only 1 league game.
I don't agree, this is their last chance at a cup this year and ours, they won't win the Champions League and they are well clear at the moment in the Premier League, like last year when they forced Ferdinand to take a ban but be able to play in the CC semi final. They'll want their best team for this game just like we will.
