Who was Rooney swearing at?

Good old Wayne. After what can only be described as a mediocre season by his standards, the Wayne Rooney of old returned last Saturday when he scored a hattrick to help United stage a stunning comback and followed it up by yelling some expletives at Sky TV's camera crew.

Yep. Not many - except for Joey Barton - can go from hero to zero in such short span of time. I say zero not so much because of Rooney's enhanced vocabulary (everyone knows the effenheimer is commonly used by all footballers) but the fact that his actions have landed him a two match suspension is something Man Utd can ill afford at the moment.

Now, in case you're like me and missed out on what Rooney told the camera, it went something like this: "what, fucking what?!" Yes, it doesn't seem to make much sense at all. Even more puzzling is the intended recipient of his mini-rant. Was it the viewers at home? Was it the press? Was it Sky TV? Did the cameraman make an insulting gesture at Rooney? Or does Rooney hate Rupert Murdoch?

Ok, the last question is a bit of an exaggeration but it seems likely that Rooney's message was aimed at his detractors who've constantly taken swipes at him this season for a multitude of reasons. But the ones who probably feel insulted the most at the England striker's actions would be Sir Alex and Man Utd itself who've sorely missed Rooney's goals all season. Just when it seemed as though Rooney had found his form at the right moment, he does something like this and has to sit out the next two games.
