Idiot Of The Week; Manchester United, Newcastle, England
by Dexter on November 12th, 2007Each week we’ll be picking some nominess for Idiot Of The Week. Maybe they fell over some training cones, maybe they were photographed with vegetable in their bottom or maybe they’re just your team’s crappest footballer. Whatever the reason, here are our picks and we want to hear yours in the comments.
Idiot A - Wayne Rooney, for falling over some training apparatus, doing his ankle in, and leaving Steve McClaren without his goalscoring prowess - and Wayne was on an absolute roll too, scoring 9 in his last 9. It’s not the injury we have a problem with, just the manner of his injury - one to rival Richard Wright falling on a sign during a pre-match warm up. And if there is one thing that Wayne doesn’t want to do it is ape Richard Wright.
Idiot B - Steve McClaren - for falling to his hands and knees and pleading for his job, exclaiming to the FA Big Wigs - “‘I want to go on. I love this job.†- Eurgh. Pass the sick bag. Do you have no self respect McClaren!?! For God’s sake man…stop blubbering and pull yourself together…Go out with some dignity in tact please! Come on Macca, me old Mucker - sort it out!
Idiot C - Joey Barton - this man is the duracell bunny of all mentalists, he takes any opportunity to make himself look like even more of a psycho in both hands and runs with it like Carl Lewis. This weeks spot of mentalism happened in the Sunderland-Newcastle derby when on half time, instead of traipsing in to get some oranges or a fancy massage - he decided to lunge mid-air for Dickson Etuhu’s crown jewels, and then act as if he was the one who had just been assaulted. Joey, we salute you for your commitment to being an idiot of the week.
So let us know your pick or suggest a new Idiot in the comments.

I’d agree with all 3 of those! Muppets the lot of them. But personally I’d also want to nominate Didier Zokora for still looking like a crap player even though Spurs won 4-0

Why Rooney for an idiot? At least now if Ing-Er-Lund don’t qualify all the ABU’s will be able to blame another United player for Ing-Er-Lund’s failures.

He’s out for a month because he fell over some training equipment.
Seems pretty idiotic to me

…and ofcourse 150 qualifies to be “a few years”. I think ColdSpurs’ll eventually get their say. Just need to sell their entire back 4, their entire midfield and four of their four strikers; Oh, plus their 3 keepers, the coach and the cook. That small change may create the space and money to afford the entire Blackpool team!!

My idiot of the week is that Italian (and his mother who passed on the genes) who didn’t know that the cop violence unleashed on ManU fans would sometime come round to bite his own ass. The trigger-happy cops(!)are not so invisible now i daresay
