Rooney, Rooney

If Manchester United produced a “Best of Rooney” video right now, it would be a rather short video. He has yet to fully justify his exorbitant price tag.

But my god, you’d be forgiven for gushing like a love-struck teenager after seeing his two goals against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup. Stunning doesn’t begin to describe them.

The first came courtesy of a fantastic Gary Neville through ball which Rooney despatched with a brilliant chip. His second goal was just as astonishing. Saha headed on a long ball and Rooney volleyed it into the net over Schwarzer with deadly precision.

He’s already scored 11 goals this season and he’s aiming for 20.

He’s only 19.

Creative but I’m not paying 1600-plus yen for the resulting origami-type figures.

France Five

Red Fromage!

Black Beaujolais!

Blue Accordeon!

Yellow Baguette!

Pink A La Mode!

Shin Kenjushi France Five is a homage to the sentai genre by French fans. It can be painful to sit through at times but the terrific fight scenes make up for any deficiencies in the acting department. If nothing else, you have to admire the passion and the determination it took to pull this off.

The latest episode is a 98MB RM file. It’s in French but there are English subtitles available.
