London: Coleen Rooney sprung to the defence of her husband Wayne amid criticism of the England captain who had been dropped for yesterday's World Cup qualifier in Slovenia. She wrote on Twitter: "Love the way Anyone & Everyone has to have an Opinion. Lighten up, life is short, give people a break. Some forget others have feelings too."

"And you have a 6 year old son listening to them saying they booed their dad, it's not nice and money does not enter my mind or his or anyone close to us!! It's feelings that matter ....were not plastic, he's not plastic we are people. It was on the radio in the car before anyone goes onto say why is a 6 year old reading things.

When one person responded suggesting Rooney was not performing to the level of his reported £300,000-a-week salary for United, Coleen simply replied: "Shut up you absolute idiot."
