Blame Franz Ferdinand

No, not the Scottish post-punk band, but rather the original Archduke. That's the recommendation of the Guardian's Marina Hyde as she seeks to dole out blame for Wayne Rooney's injury woes. She also points the knobbly finger of culpability at Maggie Thatcher, Tsar Nicholas II, and Phil Knight. (Now there's a fun bunch of folks.) Damn you, Гаврило Принцип!

Clearly in a jolly mood, the Guardian also gives us an indication of what Rooney's oxygen treatment will be like. You might be thinking, oxygen? I like oxygen; sounds okay by me. But actually it sounds kind of unpleasant and grotesque, kind of like being the Man in the Iron Mask only 30 feet underwater.
