That's what I'm thinking about Barry Veg, isn't it terrible that we haven't got anyone to put in his place and seem to be relying on him  

That's what I'm thinking about Barry Veg, isn't it terrible that we haven't got anyone to put in his place and seem to be relying on him  

But supposedly Rooney wants him there because he 'facilitates' Rooney scoring.

As I said it's all about what Rooney wants and that is damaging England

Zero service? He's been handed it on a plate and has lost it near enough every time hes touched the ball, we would be better off not passing it to him at all. The granny sh*gger either loses possession or takes a stupid 40 yarder.


And I thought "Heskey brings out the best in Rooney", from the experts of football apparently... looks like Shrek couldnt be arsed playing tonight.


Oh, and I do actually like watching rugby aswell... that has nothing to do with my opinion on football though. Il assume your a rag fan aswell?

Oh for the days of Lineker or shearer or owen,,,,,*dreams*

Rooney's already said he prefers to play on his own up front and only a fool would argue with it given how many goals he scored in that role for Man U.

Heskey brings about the best in nobody, he never has. I'll take it you're new to 'soccer'. The whole team are crap tonight in case you hadn't noticed but go ahead take it all out on Rooney if it makes you feel better. I bet you're a Liverpool fan seeing as you hate England's best player so much and no I'm not a Man U fan.

Well maybe he's saying that now but he wasn't saying it before.
Plus this team and this competition should not be geared around what one player wants

Rooney needs to get off asap....he s been rubbish tonight....get Crouch on...

Its all about what Rooney wants Your also forgetting that he is playing with a different midfield with different tactics... we can't play the tactics that "Man Yoo" play just to suit one over-hyped player.



Good god, and they were all saying he was better than Messi

Soccer? Im not a yank... and I been watching football for many years, even played it myself. The whole team have been crap? Could say so, some have not played that bad I feel though, we get a good build up going and when it comes to executing it, Rooney pisses it up. No im not a liverpool fan either, try stay on topic rather than attacking my opinion Or il simply bite back.

Nope play him with a donkey instead and wonder why he's less effective, great idea. Speaking of over-rated, Messi? lol. You know which league he plays his football in right?

Rooney has been shite and so has Lampard!

Indeed... we can't even beat Algeria.

Doesnt matter if he plays Spanish football, he looks a threat at international level aswell... your not seriously suggesting Messi is over-rated are you? You wouldnt happen to also be a fan of the tranny Ronaldo?

Arsenal gave Messi God status by gifting him a hat trick, literally stepping out of his way to let him score. I can't stand Ronaldo he's a loathsome twat but at least he proved himself in the toughest league in the world. Messi might be as good but jury's still out till he plays in the PL imo. It looks like we just went out of the world cup.

Rooney needs to be dropped for the last game....start Defoe

You know your in deep sh*t when your best player turns out to be Gareth Barry. The vuvuzelas were drowned out for the first time... by booing.

~hoochie~  0-0  barney...


<tries hard to still believe>

He's only 24 (correct me if im wrong), I can not see him staying at Barcelona for 6 years or so... he is still young and has plenty of time to prove himself in a different league.

Messi is 22....23 next week

I've just had a text from someone saying........you got Gazza's phone no?

I though Carragher was England's best player..not that its any sort  accolade after that effort. England are not going to win the world cup and they never were, the media have built the team up to greater than they are. The only World Class player England have looks like he has yet to leave Manchester he has been so bad. Heskey is getting all the flack (he is still shite though) but Rooney's just as bad.

Even better then

Was Capello watching the same game as the rest of us?

think he might be a better player drunk or with bandages 

I replied with...Lineacre's (sp) allready there!

For first time I agree with mostly what you say Just one bit I disagree with

"The only World Class player England have looks like he has yet to leave Stretford"

May the best team win!   *exits the  england's   world cup thread with good grace and no malice aforethought*     

Naughty velvet

Rooney just mouthed off to the camera as he was leaving the pitch, didnt quite hear him but this is what someone else told me he said.


"nice to see the home crowd booing the players"


Don't know what he honestly expected

Well he took Carrick as a holding midfield replacement but Carrick has had a nightmare of a season.Now we have the problem of Carragher being out for the next game too.

Capello is firmly and completely to blame imo. I think he has terrorised the players and kept them so off balance that they can't function for fear

      ( )

Haha, I'd agree with that as well! You'd never know this could be the start of a blossoming friendship!! 

(Until premier league round 2!)

Agree with that aswell.

Well I wouldn't go that far but there's clearly something amiss
