United’s midfield are weak. Chelsea are too old and the manager too young. Arsenal are now a selling club, Liverpool are not ready, Spurs have no strikers, while Man City have too many players and no plan. Man United by default.

Perhaps he was referring to the 100 words in Rooney’s particular vernacular? The lad could give him an education in some rather choice words which can be used in a variety of contexts!

“Lino” is a useful one.

“Lino” is short for “linesman”. It is often shouted by fans with the interjection “Oi” placed before, as in:

“Oi Lino!”

This attention grabber is useful for trying to get a lineman to reconsider a dodgy off-side decision or to notice an opposing player diving or playing dirty (see Ronaldo, Diouf).

What about: “At the end of the day” a useful prefix for the usual apology over the teams performance.

Also he should avoid learning any English words that could get him trouble when mentioning female refs.
