WAYNE Rooney has been sentenced to 100 gruelling hours of supporting Everton.

After he was found guilty of drink driving, Judge Mary Fisher said that she felt it was in the public interest for her to impose the strongest possible sentence on the former England striker.


Judge Fisher said: “If I didn’t want to make an example, I might have just sentenced you to support Stoke City for a match or maybe Fulham for an away game in the North.

“But as it is, you will have to spend the next 100 hours watching Everton struggle in the Europa League whilst screaming at the TV screen, ‘Why the f**k didn’t we buy a new striker?’

“I think it is fair to say that supporting Everton is the grimmest and most fruitless task known to man.”

Representing Rooney, Martin Bishop QC added: “It’s a good thing he didn’t crash the car. Then he might have been sentenced to supporting West Ham, which should really come under the bracket of ‘cruel and unusual punishment.’”
"For an idea that does not first seem insane, there is no hope."
