Ferguson to make late Rooney decision

Mon, 02 Nov 22:11:29 2009

Sir Alex Ferguson will wait for news from Wayne Rooney before deciding whether to include his star striker in Manchester United's Champions League game with CSKA Moscow on Tuesday.

Ferguson confirmed that Rooney missed training on Monday morning in order to be with his wife Coleen, who gave birth to the couple's first child at Liverpool Women's Hospital on Monday afternoon.

"It depends on the situation with his wife," Ferguson said. "She is in hospital at the moment so we just have to wait on that one."

Strike partner Dimitar Berbatov is also doubtful after taking a blow on the kneecap against Blackburn on Saturday, while Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand (both knee) and Ryan Giggs (hip) have already been ruled out.

Park Ji-sung will not be considered either, with Ferguson confirming the South Korean has been put on a two-week fitness programme after suffering a series of minor ailments.

The good news for Ferguson is that skipper Gary Neville is back from suspension and Scotland star Darren Fletcher will start after a month out with an ankle injury.

  4. CONVERSATION OVERHEARD IN HMP ATAVAR

    Stevie O Jay and­ Marlon King are settling into their new home. There’s a­ bit of friction.

    Stevie O Jay : Pheuuuufff
    Marlon King­ : Whaattt?
    Stevie O Jay : Ah nothin’
    Marlon King :­ What? You’re the one going Pheuuuufff.
    Stevie O Jay :­ Your feet Marlon, your feet, your f*cking feet?
    Marlon­ King : What’s wrong with my feet?
    Stevie O Jay : Can’t­ you smell or something?
    Marlon King : Huh?
    Stevie O Jay­ : Ere lad, your feet stink the place out. Even the­ f*cking screws don’t come in here anymore. I don’t know­ how many times I’ve told you, wash your f*cking­ feet!!
    Marlon King : Oh. Alright then.
    Stevie O Jay :­ Huh, thanks a lot.

    Marlon starts to sort through his­ washbag, gets his favourite soap out, his nice new­ facecloth and begins to give his feet a wipe.

    Marlon­ King : Have you heard the news?
    Stevie O Jay : What­ news?
    Marlon King : About Benny?
    Stevie O Jay : Benny?­ Benny who?
    Marlon King : Benny The Ball Benitez.
    Stevie­ O Jay : What about him?
    Marlon King : They say he’s not­ a real manager.
    Stevie O Jay : Not a real manager ..­ whatdya mean?
    Marlon King : He’s not Benitez.
    Stevie O­ Jay : ( Perplexed ) What!?
    Marlon King : His real­ name’s Benitio. He’s mob.
    Stevie O Jay : Eh?
    Marlon­ King : He’s not Spanish .. he’s Italian.
    Stevie O Jay :­ Whatdya mean he’s not Spanish?
    Marlon King : He’s­ mafioso.

    Marlon cleaning between his toes flicks a­ ball at Stevie.

    Stevie O Jay : F*ck off.
    Marlon King :­ ( He flicks another ball of cheese ) Something to do­ with Capello’s mob. Apparently the football club is a­ front for people trafficing.
    Stevie O Jay : Eh?
    Marlon­ King : Yes, you heard me right, I said people­ trafficing.
    Stevie O Jay : ( Totally confused )­ What?
    Marlon King : The Italian mob were trying to find­ a front for their operation. They tried Loserpool. Do­ you remember when you won the Champions League?
    Stevie­ O Jay : Yeah, great night.
    Marlon King : Well it was­ alright til half time.

    From Stevie O Jay, on Mon 2 Nov 8:11PM
  5. Marlon King : Benitio couldn’t believe his luck when­ you won the Champions League, made him look like he was­ a football manager. It was all luck. He’s knows nothing­ about football. He’s been winging it since then.
    Stevie­ O Jay : ( Taken aback. ) Knows nothing?
    Marlon King :­ Nope. The Italians weren’t too happy though. You­ weren’t supposed to win. Benitio was supposed to throw­ the game.
    Stevie O Jay : No-one told me.
    Marlon King :­ Benitio was supposed to tell you.
    Stevie O Jay : Well­ he didn’t. F*ck!!
    Stevie O Jay : F*ck!!
    Marlon King :­ The Italians weren’t happy bunnies. Anyway, Benitio was­ making so much money trafficing people in and out as­ football players, taking a cut of the fees that it­ saved his life. He paid back the mob and made Capello­ rich. Everybody was happy. But that’s when the American­ mobs wanted a piece of the action.
    Stevie O Jay : How­ do you know all this?
    Marlon King : Ah, ah …... Benitio­ thought he was doing a great job but he hadn’t a clue­ what was really going on. Do you know some people say­ that he thought he was a real football manager? Like­ Alex Ferguson or something?
    Stevie O Jay : I thought­ he was a real manager.
    Marlon King : So does Benitio,­ that’s why it was so sweet.
    Stevie O Jay : So that’s­ why the Americans mob bought the club. It didn’t make­ sense. They didn’t seem to get on ….
    Marlon King :­ ….let’s call it a family disagreement.
    Stevie O Jay :­ They weren’t putting money in, … they were taking money­ out.
    Marlon King : That’s it, who’s a clever boy? Well­ things have gone t*ts up and the Americans want to­ bring in their own man in and I’m afraid that it’s­ ‘Goodbye Mr Benitio’.
    Stevie O Jay : And I thought it­ was the b*autiful game.
    Marlon King : That’s right. (­ Marlon flicking another ball of toe cheese at Stevie ) ­ On yer head.
    Stevie O Jay : Listen, do that one more­ time and I’ll set my ‘patsy ‘ mates on you.
    Marlon King­ : Ha, ha, ha, ha, not in here you won’t. .. ha, ha, ha­ , ha.
    Stevie O Jay : Ha, ha, ha,
