Caroline Celico’s school is closed from noon

Wayne Rooney theory - pre-World Cup tension

Wayne Rooney’s self-inflicted injury? If you ask me (and you’re not, so here goes..) it was an act of pre-World Cup tension - he’s out of the World Cup and the pressure is off and everyone feels sorry for him, bless. Or if you prefer it was my voodoo in making sure my
