After a red card in England's draw with Montenegro, Wayne Rooney will miss the first one or two games (depending on a disciplinary hearing) of next summer's European Championship. With three big warm-up matches before the tournament, England manager Fabio Capello is supposedly contemplating using Rooney as a sub, to give the starting XI for Euro 2012 time to gel. More »

Oh Shrek. Poor Shrek. His plant foot slipped while he was trying to put Manchester United up 4-1 on rival Chelsea, kicked the ball into his other foot sending it wide of the net and fell down go boom. (Start at 0:32 is the silent-picture aspect of the video bothers you). More »

Wayne Rooney was stressed. He'd had a rotten World Cup. The tabloids were accusing him of cheating on his pregnant wife with a prostitute. And his hair was falling out. So he did something about the hair. Now the sports magi can speculate about whatever tonic explains Rooney's bristling performance this season (five goals in three games). From the Associated Press: More »

We felt very bad last time. We hate blind items (though we did guess Ryan Giggs). But there's this thing in the UK where celebrities can get court-ordered injunctions against newspapers publishing items about their personal lives. They're called injunctions, and lots of celebrities have them, and together the whole thing is some big Super Injunction mystery. More »

Two games on this afternoon: Shakhtar Donetsk takes on Barcelona at Donbass Arena, and Manchester United hosts Chelsea at Old Trafford Stadium. They both start at 2:45, and with Chelsea down a goal on aggregate, they must win to advance. But Wayne Rooney, threat to already-cursing children everywhere, is allowed to play in Champions League games , and he's totally ready to be martyred. The Barca game might not have the same top billing, but it is Barca, and it is a warm-up for a potential semi-final match with Real Madrid — a game that makes our own Brian Hickey "tingle inside with joy." Enjoy. More »

The English Premier League match between first-place Manchester United and third-place Manchester City was tied at 1 in the 78th minute ... until cheeky boy Wayne Rooney fielded a pass from Nani roughly 10 yards from goal.
