'Boring James Milner' Reacts to Wayne Rooney Breaking England Goalscoring Record

Liverpool midfielder James Milner's reputation for a charismatic one-liner has taken quite a hit since the 'Boring James Milner' parody Twitter account rose to fame.

And on Tuesday night, the parody account tweeted a message of congratulations to England teammate Wayne Rooney, who claimed his record 50th international goal against Switzerland at Wembley.

I was really pleased that Wayne Rooney scored to became England's leading goal scorer so I said well done Wayne & he said thank you, James.

Unfortunately for the real James Milner, Rooney revealed in a post-match interview that Milner's "joke" to him after his penalty was barely stand-up comedy material.
