Rooney on "terrible record" against Chelsea.

Wayne Rooney has spoken ahead of our game on Tuesday night and of United's and his own terrible record at Stamford Bridge and of Chelsea.

He said:

We’ve got a terrible record at Stamford Bridge – in fact, I’ve never won there in my entire career, It’s not been a good place for me, with United and Everton – I even broke my metatarsal there in 2006 and nearly missed the World Cup.You get these strange records in football and there’s no way to explain them.

I certainly don’t know why we’ve found it so hard at Chelsea because our away record is very good overall, But we can’t let it play on our minds. If anything, it will make us even more determined to go there and win. It’s a massive game and Chelsea need to win it more than we do. Hopefully, the pressure will tell on them.

I’m a bit surprised to see Chelsea so far ­behind us, but I would never write them off. But we’re happy with the ­position we’re in – it’s been a season where we’ve stuck together as a team and had to grind out ­results when we haven’t played well. Sometimes you get just as much ­satisfaction winning that way as you do when you play great football.

We want the title back because it was hard losing it to Chelsea. We can make it really hard for them by beating them, but they will be thinking the same thing about us because those two games will have a big say on where the title goes.”

Let's hope his and United's poor run continues on Tuesday. I think this could be a time that United finally slip up and suffer their first dip in form and it would be at such an important time.

United and Rooney talk about being out in front and they have deserved to be there as they have remained the most consistent side in the league. The fact remains, they haven't played us yet!.

KTBFFH.
