He’ll be turning 23 years old on Friday and Wayne Rooney has the opportunity celebrate by scoring his 100th club goal at the weekend against the club he got his start at.

With Manchester United heading to Goodison Park to face Tim Howard’s Everton on Saturday, Rooney’s unbelievable strike rate could continue after having found the back of the net in seven consecutive matches.

“I am doing well at the minute and hopefully that continues,” Rooney told reporters after scoring his ninth goal in seven games in Tuesday night’s 3-0 Champions League win over Celtic.

“I am really enjoying my football. I am enjoying the way the team is playing.

“It is always nice for any player to score 100 goals. If I can do that back at Everton, where I started, it would be really pleasing. If I do score at Everton, whether it was my first or my 100th, it would be really sweet.”

There has been a lot of speculation in recent years about how certain boots actually can lead to injuries, such as the infamous metatarsal injuries Wayne Rooney has suffered.   To combat this, as well as to try and create the perfect boot, Rooney has teamed up with Nike to help create the perfect boot. I’m not sure if this will bring the desired result people would hope for, but here’s to trying.

The Thriller reference is absolutely killing me….  Brilliant!

While police have said that their interviews are complete, inquires will continue as spitting is considered “common assault” in England.

UPDATE - Stretford has issued a statement regarding the FA punishment.

“I believe the verdicts of the disciplinary panel against me are a travesty of the facts heard by its members during the hearing,” Stretford said in a statement. “These charges came about as a result of my appearance in a criminal trial as a witness for the prosecution against men accused of blackmailing me with menaces. In pursuing their case against me, the FA seems almost wilfully to have cast me as the accused in the trial rather than a prosecution witness acting properly in the interests of justice.

“It has always been my contention that the FA’s case against me should have been heard in public and by an independent panel. Had that been the case, I believe the verdicts would have been very different. I will continue to maintain my innocence of the charges brought against me.”

Stretford must pay the $586,000 fine within 14 days or lodge an official appeal (which will most likely happen).

The FA’s independent commission found Stretford guilty of seven charges relating to his acquisition of the rights to represent Wayne Rooney, failing to lodge representation contracts with the FA and signing the player to an eight-year contract, which exceeded the two-year maximum allowed by FIFA.

Think about how many players are going to be screwed going into contract negotiations with Stretford banned.
