As I watched the Switzerland v England match today, the 10,000 pound elephant hovering over the pitch was palpable.
I can understand that the pressures a Premier League/National Team footballer is under can be immense; training schedules, traveling schedules, personal appearances for the club/sponsors, and time away from family. With that being said, I don't think the pressure should be used as an excuse.
The British tabloids are notorious for making up stories, or taking bits of truth and spinning it into a swirling mass of inaccuracies; spin stew. So with that in mind I perused The News of the World like all others when the news hit on Saturday. What news? That Wayne Rooney had taken his place among the philandering footballers in the Premier League.
As I said above, I read the news with a grain of salt, as the 21-yr-old hooker revealing her story was just that...a 21-year-old hooker. Her business is a shady one, not illegal in the UK, but nonetheless shady. So why should I believe her story? For the one reason that it came to light and there was no attempt to suppress it by Rooney or his attorneys. The wannabe glam model's (the hooker, not Wayne's wife) comment that "I think he believes he's invincible and untouchable. As a woman, I wouldn't like that done to me - especially if I was pregnant," is a bit rich coming from a paid whore! :) Bad grammar aside, it's obvious she's not used to being paid the kind of money that Roo was shelling out.
The tales of sex texts, 1200 GBP meetings, and according to her a plea by him to meet him at his home while his pregnant wife was out of the house, has the British people in an uproar. Honestly, had England won the World Cup it wouldn't be an issue. But since the Three Lions resembled something more like a litter of kittens in South Africa, Rooney's immoral gaffe has been magnified...times ten.
One thing is certain...Alex Ferguson can not be happy.
Of course there are "sources" who claim that Coleen is fed up and told him, "I don't need you." That's laughable, since she was a nobody chav from Croxteth, Liverpool when she met him. Yes, she has made a few quid on her "own" since her marriage to Wayne, but the last part should be the kicker..."since her marriage to Wayne." Let's face it, Coleen is not that much of a looker, despite her designer clothes. Had she not married Wayne, the world would never have heard of her, nor would she have a TV career giving *gulp* fashion advice. *Rolls eyes* Her family are supposedly up in arms, and I must say I would be too, but "pals say" Wayne doesn't care because he's fed up funding their lifestyles (that they didn't have before their daughter married Wayne). If their marriage lasts (it's barely two years in) then good, but if it doesn't you can be sure that Coleen and Kai (Wayne's son) will be living the high life while he's slogging away on the pitch.
So here we have it...another Premier League story of a footballer with too much money, no morals, and a parisitic wife's family living off of him. *yawn*
If you would like to read up on the sordid details, I've attached a few links. Poor Cristiano was even brought into it, with The Sun calling it "The curse of Nike." And supposedly the hooker heard Wayne call Cristiano a "f**king winker" (he may have said that, but Wayne and Cristiano are friends so it was no doubt said as a joke).
