in answer to your question: no.

Fair play to Rooney though

Trying to make it sound like Rooney is raping Gray, when in fact Gray's the one with the problem.

Stupid media  :x

hardly

""Wayne asked him to go several times.

I think we need to look at the bigger picture here.There will be number of Daily Mail readers that will want to know:

A. How will this incident effect house prices?
B.Does premiership footballers arguing in restaurants give you cancer?
C.Do the people who work in the restuarant have work permits, and are my children safe from these baby eating foreigners.

Footballers should really act more responsibly!

Thats a bit of a generalisation isnt it spacey? I dont mind the mail, quite informative at times.

I agree with Spacey. They do generally report sensationalist bollocks.

No.

The Daily Mail is a bit of a generalisation. And a very bad one at that.

I'd rather someone buy the mirror or the sun than the mail. express not too far behind in the scum stakes.

 If you believe in talking bassett hounds then yes it is very informative.

the financial mail on a sunday is spot on usually.

why does it bother you who reads what paper?

It doesn't bother me, it amuses me.

I haven't read it, but I work in the Financial Services Industry, and I have to say that most papers talk a load of shit. There was even a whole article in one paper about the differences between Income Protection and Permanent Health Insurance despite them being exactly the same thing.

I think you can tell a lot about a person by their choice of newspaper.  Tabloids = can't think for themselves.
                     Mail = Bit of dosh, hates foreigners.
                     Star/Sun/Sport = 10yrs old, probably stolen from local shop.
                      Guardian = thinks they're liberal and intelligent.  They are wrong.
                    Times = Grandad.
                    Independent = Tricky one, usually people who used to read the guardian, but have lost any real pretensions of liberalism.
                    Any local paper - clannish, usually result of inbreeding, can be spotted due to unusually large forehead.      
                  No preferred paper = enlightened.  Read them all.  Ignore it all.  Think for yourself.  Buy the football league review paper thing instead.

Who said anything about generalising?

I used to purchase the Indie and Star then tuck them in and out of one another depending on present company.

I do worry about Mail readers though.  Sometimes I'll have a look at the front page news and wonder if they quite have their priorities right.  Across the board you'll have some world tragedy while the mail leads with “My Miracle story of sextitlets”.  Even the Star will make a pretence at world events on the front page, unless a major footballer or celeb has been whoring or hovering up the Bolivian, which is always fair game.

From the Daily Mail:
"Rooney in punch-up with Blackburn star over Coleen 'threesome' slur"

It sounds like Gray was trying to start a fight, but of course the media will focus on Rooney and make him sound like the bad guy - it just annoys me that they twist things to make better news...

you raise some valid points, spacey. i feel that it's now my responsibility to go around scaremongering people who are too stupid to think for themselves.

p.s. the rooney story was on the frontpage of at least two redtops today. i thought it was bad seeing it on bbc sport at 9am.

Some excellent points about Mein Kampf aka Teh Daily Mail.

Anyone who reads it is just plain wrong - FACT! (sorry Bushey Boy, but FACTS! are FACTS!)

I wonder if Michael Gray lobbed his cock out at any point in front of Coleen and the girls?  I would like to think so 8)

In the sun, it said Rooney knocked, sorry decked, him to the ground without getting off his chair!  :shock:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
