Instant Karma
Instant karmas gonna get you Its 25 years since one of Liverpools favourite sons was
needlessly shot dead in cold blood. John Lennon was and still is iconic, and is
sorely missed even to this day by his many fans and the people whos life he
touch in his home town of Liverpool. But Liverpool has a habit of producing
extremely gifted young individuals with the world at their feet... and the next one
was born five years after the death of John Lennon. He was called Wayne and
might turn out to be the most gifted football player of his generation. We all know
what happened next... After
his move, he said, Im very excited to be here. As soon as I knew United were
interested, there was only one place I was going." Rooney joined United to win
things; anyone else thinking he made the wrong decision? It sounded like sour
grapes when absolutely every Evertonian alive told him that he would be better
sticking around at Goodison... But it was too late. His lying agent had already
turned his head and the seed was planted. Rooney wanted the fame and accolades
that went with playing for the biggest and richest club in the world; he wanted
his face in the Mirror every day and his missus wanted her shopping expeditions
in the Daily Star as often as possible. Well, they got what they wanted
there. Now, unfortunately for Wayne, the biggest and richest club in the world is
500M in debt. Wayne is carrying a club that despises everything from
Liverpool. Wayne has distinctly average players like Darren Fletcher, Ji-sung
Park, John OShea and Quinton Fortune behind him and the heartbeat of the team
has just been sacked for saying as much. Paul Scholes is over the hill and
Giggs wont last much longer. The downward spiral has started. Wayne is now
tied into a watertight contract that even his lying agent wont be able to
wriggle him out of. Hes at a club that is going to be in the shadow of Chelsea
for longer than the four-and-a-half years that Wayne is contractually obliged to
stay there. Instant Karmas got you, Wayne! Most people say live and let live;
I will when I've finished laughing. Nick Armitage
