LVG, you've done it again

The Bellend of the Month for February 2015 is Joseph Jesse Aldridge, who killed seven people and then took his own life in a house-to-house shooting rampage in Tyrone, a tiny town in the Missouri Ozarks. Aldridge killed his victims with a .45-calibre handgun on Friday at four homes in the community of about 50 people, many of whom are related to each other, and was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound before dawn in a running pickup on the highway about 30km away. But enough about that because Wayne Rooney’s second-half double this morning was enough to give Manchester United victory over a stubborn Sunderland side, who had ex-Red Wes Brown sent off in a case of mistaken identity. The Reds captain fired home a penalty in the 66th minute at Old Trafford after Radamel Falcao had been brought down in the box by John O’Shea when poised to pull the trigger. Referee Roger East showed a red card to Brown, despite the protests of his fellow former Reds stalwart O’Shea. The other cards were two yellows, but what matters here is the win.
