Better be a sturdy bench.
Didn't watch the game on Saturday so cannot comment on his performance
Not sure about him not looking after himself, he's always had a big frame, as a youngster he used to overpower people in his age group because of his physical advantage. I think his problem is that he's been playing professional football since he was 16-years old. He's had +14-years and now looks finished. Most players start of playing around 19-20 so when they've played 14-years they're towards the end of their career anyway. Rooney is basically playing like a 34-35 year old with his slow reactions and lack of pace.
I've just wiped the sticky residue from my bellend onto the television screen. Taste it Leo. You deserve it.
I would honestly let Wijnaldum jizz in my face right now
Who'd have thought that of all people Gareth Southgate would be the one with the balls to finally drop Rooney.
Maybe the group, led by your leadership, will see these drafts as PR functions and brilliant use of humor
Hey Claus, fuck off.
Made up for Henderson. Just searched Henderson Captain on twitter and it was glorious. So much fume. So beautiful.
there are some seriously saying john stones should be captain, including head bellend Henry Winter
I'm not a native speaker of English. When Phil Mcnulty writes this, is he being serious or sarcastic?"Southgate's decision is, in its starkest terms, the beginning of the end of an England career that is scheduled to finish at the 2018 World Cup in Russia."
You are my hero Prof.
Yes, that's my point. Rooney has announced his retirement from the natonal team after the World Cup in Russia, which I find extremely arrogant. As if he has a divine right to play for England until he himself chooses to quit.That's why I don't understand if Mcnulty is being serious when he states that Rooney's career will end after the World Cup, and not a day before. It's the usage of the word "scheduled" that makes me wonder if it's a dig at Honest Wayne.
Not sure what the issue is, lot's of players will say well ahead of time that whatever tournament will be their last.
out of interest is that the same view with Pique?
Surprised at the surprise that Jordan has been selected as Captain by Southgate, he was his Captain at u21s level.
First time since I was about 12 (2002 World Cup) that I actually want England to win.Finally free of Rooney, Terry, Ferdinand, Beckham, Cole, Neville, Hodgson etc.
On the other hand, we still have this rat faced blert...
How is this possible?
I should have said 'but we have this rat faced blert'
Carragher and Jamie Rednapp as well.Suggesting Dier as better option as well.How can they say that when Kane is the Spurs captain is beyond me.Dier and Stones arent even Vice captain for his clubs ffs
Crosby Nick never fails.
Credit to Southgate for having the balls to do what should have been done a long time ago - drop Rooney.
He's obviously left him out tonight but I'm not certain he'll bin him long-term. I think this is just to take him out of the firing line for a bit if you will.
Rooney should just quit England. Why prolong the pain?
Erm, no he didn't. "Southgate is right to pick Henderson for now because he’s one of the few players who captains his club. It’s the right choice for Gareth because he’s in charge for the next three games, but if England then get a new manager who is looking long term, then Dier or Stones could be in with a shout, because Jordan is not an out-and-out guaranteed starter for this country."He suggests Dier and Stones may be in with a shout because Henderson may not be a guaranteed starter. No where does Carra say they are actually better options.Redknapp does say long term he'd give it to Dier or Stones though.
How would Dier be a def started ahead of Henderson. It's a load of tripe.
There's no chance he drops Rooney. He doesn't have the balls to make such a sensible decision.
