NOT REALLY A REPLACEMENT FOR EMINEM

What would be the worst thing you could think of happening at a 50 Cent gig? Besides someone turning up to shoot him again, of course? How about notorious potato-faced footballer Wanye Rooney turning up and trying to rap?

People who'd paid to see 50 Cent in Manchester were less than impressed - which is what you'd expect, as they'd be from Manchester and not that likely to be Man United supporters anyway. And when you've paid to see a rapper at the top of his game (or, possibly, a rapper being shot by The Game), why would you want to see an angry little red face having a go? It's not Jim'll Fix It, is it?

The audience weren't impressed:

Andrew Brandwood, 28, of Oldham, said: “I came to see a top rap act and the last thing I want to watch is some overpaid footballer pretending to be hip.”

Dave Fryer, from Leeds, said: “His appearance spoiled the show.”

Once again, Rooney proves: he ain't no John Barnes.
