"Whether you like him or not he is by far and away our best playe" Based on his Man U performances I'd be inclined to agree. However based on his performances for England I'm nothing like as sure.

I don't get this "best player" nonsense. Exactly what did he do in South Africa?

Doesn't matter what players we pick we wil get knocked out in the group stages

Leave him at home. We're in the same situation now we were in when Beckham was injured where everyone seems to think we need him to be succesful.
Personally I don't think we do. I'd have A.Johnson down the left, Downing down the right with Young playing just behind or up with Bent.
Young, Bent and Downing played well together at Villa and have an understanding. Plus we all know how well Young and Johnson played here. Admittedly it's a different level but both players have come on since then too.
Plus as said previously he will just be targeted ala Ronaldo!

I can't believe people are even debating whether he'll go to the Euro's or not, of course he'll still go.
Watford 'til I die

I checked teletext first thing this mornign at 5:30 whilst feeding the baby HOPING to see this news , i am chuffed , i hate the man , i hate his arraogance and the fact he cant control himself on the pitch at the detriment to our country , again and again , yet is happy to take the obscene salary he gets paid without a blink
a vile boy , who needs leaving at home next summer...
And old alex ferguson , i dont mind him sometimes but he is in the media saying , it was just a `litle kick` and that is just the way rooney rolls , and wheres the real harm , you have to laugh , even more os at the FA for appealing when as someone further up says , violent conduct = 3 match ban , always has done , how is this any different ?


He has made eight appearances at the last two major tournaments, had only seven shots on target and scored zero goals. I would love to see him left at home but it won't happen.

Hasn't Capello got the highest win percentage of any long term England manager/coach?

and so he should do , if true , considering the players he has at his disposal and the shyte we play against more often than not

lol , in my house mate , yeah
Brought back some great memories of Saturday afternoons watching teletext for the live scores.
Don't Mess With Texas

yeah , then waiting and waiting for the tables to be updated , happy days , the feeling waiting to see which page we would be on position wise , ahh , miss being a kid
i would not take him he did wrong so he should not go ..let another forward have a go...
if we do make it past the group stages it will be unfair on the player that gets drop for WR..
but i do also think that if another player would of got a 1 match ban England always seem to get pick on
Yes he is a thick scouse **** but to miss probably now the whole of a major tournement in the prime of his career still seems a bit much for what really was one second of madness. He will probably only have 2 further tournements left after that. I know rules are rules but the tournement would be the batter for an in form Rooney on fire.
Just my take.

what tosh , rules for average players and rules for the premium players?
