Are you saying I'm wrong, or that I'm right but I'm pointing out the obvious for being bitter?

I don't analyse everything, I don't watch every United game, I've not even had time to watch every Liverpool game this year, and I don't see every press conference. But, when I see something as farcical as Rooney's behaviour be completely ignored, I can only raise my deep concerns that one of football's biggest brats seems to get away with behaving like a neanderthal, largely because of the club he plays for, and largely because somehow, verbally abusing the referee has become accepted and commonplace.

I think Chelsea's bid has forced Redknapp into stumping up the cash, he wants Pienaar in the summer for nothing like you say, but he's in danger of losing him to Chelsea if he doesn't throw some cash around. To be fair and if the rumours are true £2 million now and £1 million next year isn't a bad deal at all. You're getting a player who's very good in midfield, works hard and is very busy, quick feet and very skillfull but he's never going to play a killer ball that'll split a defence or hit 30 yard screamers but he'll do an excellent job across the midfield.



It's farcical and sums the incompetent FA up though, mate. A manager only has to say he didn't think the referee had a good game and he's hauled before the FA and fined yet players continually get away with swearing and abusing referee on TV every week and let off. Rooney's arms out gesture and continual swearing at the ref is becoming tiresome, it's about time the FA grew some balls and delt with things like this.

no,every Spurs fan will be hoping he stays as an attacking left-sided midfielder - Assou Ekotto is doing a sound job at FB - good to see Hutton getting a decent run in the team,he came from Rangers with lots of expectation,just like Bale but had a bad injury which knocked him back - he's a good player,here's hoping he keeps injury free - he's potentially as good as Bale on the other side IMO

quite right of course - 'Arry definitely sees something in him enough to persist with the deal but I just hope we (THFC) don't end up in the same situation as a few years ago with about six quality midfielders and seeing two or three of them on the bench.Remember we still have big Tom H,Jenas,O'Hara in addition to Modric,VdV,Niko K & Palacios - talk about overkill ?
Where on earth is Pienaar going to fit in ?

I've got it ! maybe he's really a GK who can replace Gomez ? phew,what a relief !

Sadly soccer has been like that for many years now.

I acknowlegde that Rooney does it and should be dealt with. But Carragher, Reina and Torres do it as well, yet you choose to ignore that. Terry and Drogba are terrible for it. Reina sometimes run's 60 yards to berate refs. You choose to make out that it's only Rooney that does it. You only focus on United. That makes you bitter.

Well, you probably will see some of them stuck on the bench at times. You're pushing on in the league, FA Cup and still have Champions League knockout tie coming up so you need a big squad, not evertyone can play every game so at least you can rest some players knowing you have more quality on the bench. I saw some reports today saying Redknapp wanted to put Bale to left back again and use Pienaar infront of him, I think that'd be superb partnership having seen how Baines and Pienaar link up. That would be some left side.



It has but it really needs looking at now, players think they can get away with it they will do it every week and in some cases they already do. A £10,000 fine for a player on £60,000 plus is pointless.

And they should all be dealt with.

Flipper posted earlier about it being 5 a side for a few weeks, if the players can't control themselves then so be it, it's 5 a side for a few weeks.

Steven Pienaar has confirmed his Spurs shirt number wil be 40.
