Anybody else's attitude to Rooney softened considerably over the last season? I used to really hate him, but he's started to chip away at that hate a little bit with his interviews. All started with those bleeding photographs... having nightmares about them as much as I had nightmares about him going to United. Did a little dance, of course, when I heard he was stretched off, but almost instantly felt a bit empty about so doing. Would certainly have much preferred if he got the injury during the World Cup and missed the front part of United's season next year.
