Reply to: What did Rooney say walking off the pitch last night ?

They should try the Tour De France.

21 days of competition. 6 hours a day in the saddle plus prep and recovery each day. and just 2 rest days along the way. It's just one part of the Pro-Tour race season that runs from January to October.

And some severe climbs and scary descents along the way. You truly have to be a machine to get through it. Anybody picking Armstrong to win this year? I am.

I wanted to do the Tour-de-France when I was younger... On a Honda Gold Wing...

I think you'll find that the average worker puts in a lot more hours than a football player, gets less free time, is paid less yet is also expected to do their job to the best of their capabilities and if not are sacked and not asked back like some people (i.e Jamie Carragher who had actually retired from international football.)

I watched a film called "One night in Turin" last night about that fated night in Italia 90 against West Germany. It is funny how history repeats itself, and look how far they got?

Wasn't it something about he wanted his mummy because some people were teasing him again.
I seriously think we should just start again.
England will not win the world cup because the team is not good enough. Not in mental strength and not in simple footballing skill either.

He played Tulipe.... He knows he played Tulipe..... You know he played Tulipe.... Everyone knows he played Tulipe.... and he critisised the fans for "telling him" (and the other players) that they played Tulipe.... He did this in a fit of anger/in the heat of the moment... not a hanging offence but not clever!

Nail....head....hit.

He should just have kept his overpaid gob shut. Then again, we should not be that surprised. He did a stupid thing because he is a stupid person. Not something that should surprise us really, there are drinks bottles over there with more upstairs than Shrek.

True, they are a bunch of incredibly over-paid toss pots - but I only have my NA experience to refer to. Look at the season breaks of ice hockey, football and baseball. Long and the players also have quite long careers.

We f***ed up in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, and missed 2008 altogether.

Get Brand Beckham out of that dressing room before it's too late.

Does nobody but myself think that these guys have played enough football this year...I mean they play almost year round aside from perhaps a two week break which is usually about now. If England want to put up a good challenge perhaps a short break in the season at some point would help?

Maybe that's what the players are thinking. "Just finish this and I get a four week break."

Rooney is a fantastic player, on the form of the club season he had he is the second best player in the world.

If you all want to think he is somehow become a bad player in 2 games then you lot are seriously losing it as much as Capello.

a) That may well be so.....
b) That may well be so.....

but He did NOT play well - he played Tulipe..... or are you disputing that?

8 games.

Is it time to drop him? I don't want England to go out because the manager is scared to dent a players ego.

The stats show he is well below his best and his frustrations are all too evident.

Those other 6 games do not count for nothing.

If Crapello walked out tonight and SAF somehow got the gig he would score a hatrick in the next game. It's not the players ability, it is down to how you handle the player, you should be building the team around him.

I think it's all over now anyway, you will get to the next stages but you will get pumped off some team who know what they are doing. I have said that all along and I do not change my mind.

You should have had Rooney and Crouch up front with Gerrard behind them. Drop Lampard.

I could have picked winning teams for your fist 2 games.

The funniest bit though was the spawn of diana getting wheeled into the dressing room after the game, obviously that arrangement was made when you thought you would have won those 2 games and went through

Shirley - That presupposes that he could both read and remember the word on the door..... that probably explains his tulip performance....

England were the home side on that game and would have been given the home changing rooms.

So yes, he was right to call the English fans the home support.

"Nice to see your home fans boo you. That's what loyal support is"
