Overview

• In a new FourFourTwo interview published Thursday, the former QPR striker rejects Rooney’s suggestion that QPR eased up in the title-deciding match.
• Cisse says his post-match celebration was with long-time friend Samir Nasri rather than with Manchester City players.
• He defends QPR’s effort, saying the club fielded a strong side fighting for survival and arguing it would have been illogical to allow a late winner on purpose.
• Cisse adds that Manchester United’s failure to win the title reflected points dropped across the season, and he notes he scored for QPR in the game.
• Rooney has continued to air doubts, including on The Overlap in April when he said the match “should have been looked into,” keeping the dispute alive in media discussions.
