Rooneys comment

[Goat]

You've too much hatred Matt.

Take a step back, and listen to this;

Rooney, I dislike him. Always will. That I'm sure of because I'm not fickle. I have my reasons and it's not just because he left, that was always an inevitablity, it was his timing, the manner and how he conducted himself since. He not only burnt bridges, he took a dump on where it once was. But thats another story.

In this instance, he has let out frustration. If every one of those players had his desire to win, and shared his frustration - we'd have snotted Algeria. The problem is, we don't.

• We have a manager who to me, has failed to grasp basic English. I'd love to see a conversation with him and arguably Englands two biggest players, Rooney and Gerrard. We have a manager who has contradicted every thing he promised regards to his selection. Pick the players on form? So why didn't you give Joe Hart the vote of confidence and start him? Far and away the form keeper. Not Robert Green, who'd just finished a season at 17th placed West Ham. Experience needed? Well at 30, he may have that, but hardly at International level. Less than 10 caps before the competition started. The calamity happened. He then brings in David James. Not had a extended run all season, finishing at 20th placed Portsmouth.
• We have a keeper who has just openly admitted he doesn't get along with any one in the England camp.
• We have a left back who revealed he needed to pull over when driving through concern of being physically sick after hearing Arsenal only offered him £75k/£80k a week.
• We have a centre back and Captain (he still will have this role mentally to a few) who shags other players girlfriends.
• We have a centre back who evidently doesn't give a damn about England by retiring for years before coming back being given the nod ahead of the likes of Jagielka, who'll be available at the next World Cup. Carragher is a massive liability, too slow demonstrated by two bookings in less than two games. He won't get away with the blatant cross body obstruction he gets away with week in, week out in the Prem.
• We have a centre back taken who was never going to play more than one game. That in itself was criminal, but to then give that player a vote of confidence of starting the first match ahead of other centre backs was outrageous. Talk about setting yourself up for failure. Was Capello trying to make his own excuses? "Here Carragher/Dawson, you're about tenth choice but go out there and do us proud". How is that for instilling confidence? Dawson was the form centre back, he needed to start the World Cup. With Jagielka in reserve. Jagielka not going (assuming on lack of games), but Ferdinand (played less than Jags) and King going?...
• We have a centre midfield pairing who haven't worked together at International level for ever. Suddenly this is meant to change?
• Again we have a left winger who isn't left footed. That balance is what can seperate the big teams.
• We have two identical right wingers. (Lennon/Wright-Phillips). The latter, inevitable sub comes on and offers very little different to Lennon.
• Our alleged saviour, Gareth - *beeping* Barry comes in and thats supposed to cover all the cracks? It's Gareth Barry. That defensive role shouldn't be seen as pivotal against Algeria
• Crouch comes on for five minutes, if your going to put him on, do it for longer...
• We have Emile Heskey upfront. A form player Capello?

I'll stop there...

I think this covers everything.

Cant argue with any of that. Damon will try though.

 

[chicoazul]

See, the D-cat has got some sick moves, arm bars the lot.

I'm pro England while he around.

 

[bluebastardo]

He didn't mention leaving the striker with more goals each season than Heskey will score in his entire career at home.

He mentions Heskey, we could have a whole forum dedicated to why he shouldnt be there.

 

[Matt Damon]

I agree. And another one for Carragher.

As for Rooney. He's a fat waste of space. The only world class - he showed last night was: how world class [Poor language removed] he can be. And how world class out of touch with the average supporter he is.

Loyalty and Rooney. Doesn't fit in the same sentence.

Implied Bent should have went .

After Capello committed with Heskey in qualifiers, it was obvious he'd go and have a prominent role though.

 

[Rook]

In defense of Heskey he's done more than Rooney has and if Rooney was one the bench with Crouch/Defoe and Heskey starting they might have escaped with a 1-0 victory.

Agreed, although I'm not sure he should be relied on to find the back of the net if Rooney struggles.

For that reason, I think Capello should have moulded another goalscoring striker to work with Rooney.

 

[chicoazul]

Rooney is the outstanding English player.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

he's 1 of the least likely to find the back of the net, he doesn't even shoot when he's through so he obviously thinks the same himself, any striker worth his salt would've had a go instead of trying to pass it across, he should've buried that last night and he didn't even shoot.

when he`s back scoring for us at everton it will be water under the bridge, football is a business and a real dirty business at that - theres bigger snides than rooney and i dont think we`ll ever know the truth of his leaving

 

[chicoazul]

That's shot/cross his did last night was hilarious.

I don't want him near Everton. We're well better than him.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

He plays a match completely heartlessly with no attempt of trying his best - and the Princes were there so that makes it worse that he seemed to not care. After people spent a whole lot of money on getting there, and then he thinks he has any right at all to say that? He gets paid millions and then walks around a pitch for 90 minutes. Of course they were going to boo, he's just wasted their money and time.

If he had put his heart into the game it would have been different. But to me he seemed to treat it like just another Prem game.
He's beyond cheeky - keep your comments to yourself, lad.

Those parasites are there at the tax payers' expense so maybe Rooney was inspired by them
