Jonathon Pearce on Motd the other night, called Van Persie's saved penalty, a "Pirlo". It was fucking not, it was a Panenka. Just because someone has done the same thing in recent memory, does not make them the inventor, first person to have that skill/technique attributed to them.
Fucking Rooney could do a Cryuff turn, in the Champions League final, leading to Utd winning the damn thing again, but it will not, and should not be called a Rooney.
Come on Pearce, for a supposed student of the game, you don't get any points for trying to rewrite the history of football to please the recent converts...
