Wayne Rooney is not having a ton of luck with the ladies. Or, rather, Wayne Rooney's Twitter is not having a ton of luck with the ladies. OK, some guy in Tinder using only Wayne Rooney tweets is not having a ton of luck with the ladies.
We get to watch though, and the results are predictably hilarious.
We are not privy to every single one of Manchester United's training sessions, nor are we insiders on the German National Team, but we have not received any reports of Bastian Schweinsteiger goose-stepping across the practice pitch or in any way else insinuating that he is a Nazi. Enter the Bastian Schweinsteiger Nazi doll.
Blue vs. Red. Pride vs. Pedigree. Rooney vs. Hart. Sterling vs. Martial. Noel Gallagher vs. Chevrolet. The Manchester Derby.
Sunday is derby day in Manchester, England and the stakes are huge. Manchester City sits atop the English Premier League with Manchester United two points behind and looking to overtake their neighbors with a win on their home grounds as the clubs meet for the 170th time.
Separated by a three-mile stretch on the A57 road, a 15 minute drive southwest will take you from the Etihad Stadium to Old Trafford, the site of this Sunday’s Manchester derby between Manchester United and Manchester City.
A top of the table clash between United and City, rarely seen throughout the course of the Manchester derby’s illustrious history, has heightened the drama beyond its normal magnitude. This is a fixture that will go a long way towards deciding who will be crowned Premier League champion come May.
You're abroad: a different language, a new culture and altogether different customs. You've been gathering up courage, repeating the appropriate local phrase over and over again in your head.
This is what traveling is all about. You make eye contact with the waiter and let that silver tongue loose. You're a cosmopolitan now.
Suddenly, the momentary pride you feel is replaced with a sinking sense of horror as the curveball arrives. Your prepared statement is returned back to you in the form of some unintelligible question.
An Alexis Sanchez goal in the first five minutes of the match vs Manchester United set the tone for the Gunners as they marched their way to a 3-0 victory in the Emirates this weekend. Alexis Sanchez continued his tear netting this ridiculous back heel to put the Gunners up 1-0. Only a minute late Mesut Ozil added to the tally and the route was on. It was a vintage Arsenal performance as the Gunners played with pace and creativity, while Manchester United looked stuck in the mud. The result was what Arsenal needed after coming off a Champions League loss to Olympiakos.
It seems that hat tricks are already a piece of cake in modern soccer. Now the fashion is to score five goals within a few minutes of a match, as Sergio Aguero did for Manchester City this weekend.
On September 22, Robert Lewandowski did it in nine minutes in the Bundesliga, and now Aguero has emulated Bayern Munich’s forward in a 6-1 win over Newcastle in the Premier League.
Sergio Aguero is a frustrating striker for Manchester City fans. He’s ridiculously good when he’s on form, but he just isn’t on form all that often. Injuries have often been to blame, but that doesn’t make him any less inconsistent.
Chalk this story up to the gossip column here at the18.com. But fresh off scoring his first goal for Manchester United in the Premier League, Memphis Depay has been spotted canoodling and shopping around Manchester with singer Chris Brown’s ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran.
According to onlookers, the pair attended the same night spots in Manchester on Saturday night, as they were both seen outside Suburbia nightclub and Club LIV. Then, following a night of Saturday partying the pair indulged in a day of shopping and strolling Monday afternoon.
It's no surprise that Sir Alex Ferguson has a special place in his heart for Ronaldo. After all, the legendary Manchester United skipper brought Cristiano Ronaldo up through the ranks at United and, some would argue, cultivated him in his youth to become the world class player he is today. Ferguson has even gone so far as to say that Ronaldo is, in a nutshell, a better player and asset to a team than Messi.
