Rooney to miss champions league final in Moscow?

Of course after buying himself a smart little third of a million pound runaround, an old banger if you will, Wayne Rooney will have other things on his mind than football and winning the champions league.

First, how fast will his new car go? What is the point on so ostentatiously spending out on another motor when Wayne already probably has a garage full of them. It would be so nice to see footballers eschewing the ‘loads of money’ lifestyle so brilliantly portrayed by Harry Enfield back in the Thatcher years, and showing a little bit more grace and style.

Now Rooney has a hernia to worry about and may miss the champions league final at the end of May. However club sources predict he could still play through the pain barrier and help Man Utd to win their second major trophy in ten years. Me, I’m hoping Chelsea win it, not only for Avram Grant, who always looks like such a lone battler, but for Michael Ballack who looks more and more, as each game goes past, like a second world war tank commander, only missing the peaked cap.
