We suppose you had to be there.
Wayne Rooney didn't exactly put to rest the continued online suggestion that James Milner has a very literal sense of humour. One of the most followed Twitter accounts in football belongs to the fictitious "Boring James Milner" which features rather to-the-point posts that make the Liverpool midfielder's life out to be quite monotonous.
Really disappointed to lose today but hopefully getting home and regrouting the bathroom tiles will take my mind off the result.

Fantastic 0-0 draw at the Emirates tonight, now to get home and delete all the programmes I've already watched off my Sky+

Brendan Rodgers said Nice freekick, James. I said Really? I thought it was a poor freekick. He said I was being sarcastic, James. I said Oh.

Rooney tried to make out that his international teammate is a bit of a joker, though, with this "side-splitting" anecdote about what Milner said to him when he broke Bobby Charlton's goalscoring record on Tuesday night.

We presume that the camera just didn't pick up the tumbleweed that almost certainly rolled past.Explore more on these topics:
