Wayne Rooney was angry when he stopped in the players' tunnel and delivered a brief but powerful message to journalists shortly after the end of Manchester United's 1-1 draw at home to Arsenal on Saturday.
His anger was rooted in a sense of betrayal -- a betrayal by the media, by some within the Football Association who have been quick to condemn the England captain following headlines surrounding his alleged drinking at the team's Grove hotel base, and by those who were quick to cash in on photographs of him socialising with guests at a wedding party.
