Scored against City this year...Scored twice away to City last year... Shall I go on? You're embarrassing yourself. You've been horribly wrong with the last couple of things you said. You should have just said you don't think Rooney is World Class and then shut up.

http://blogimages.thescore.com/counterattack/files/2011/02/Wayne-Rooney-bicycle-kick-goal1-590x260.jpg You'd think he barely scored when he was our striker or something. When he played up top for us he scored over 100 goals in 4 seasons. Shearer's record is under threat by a deep forward who was only "very good" when playing up top?

I hate the sudden disregard for the importance of qualifiers when judging a player as well. It's as if you don't need to win them to get into the major tournaments.

Wrong again. So Wayne Rooney has scored in any of his 3 finals? Messi has 2 in 2 IIRC. Yes, Rooney scored in his last one. Didn't you see the pic conveniently posted to refresh your selective memory?

You can think of only a couple of massive moments from Rooney... seriously? Name them for me please.

I wouldn't have brought club form into it except people childishly bring up the "when does he do it in big times" argument. Sturridge should absolutely play up top for England like, but Rooney starts. No question.

I thought you said you were thinking he shouldn't even go. I'm not even annoyed at you now anyway.

Wrong again.

Seriously I can see why so many people disagree with you now like. This is the most juvenile argument people have. People even say it about Ronaldo ffs. Wayne Rooney contributes massively in EVERY game he plays for us. The team in general has been shit this year, mainly down to shit tactics, but when we play poor Rooney is the only one who stands out. He's the one who looks the most likely and is the one with the most fight. In the rare occasions this year when the team has played well, it's all been Wayne Rooney, as evidenced by his double digits goals and assists tally in the league. Don't forget his performances in Europe as well. Sure we had a bad result against Olympiacos but Rooney was devastating in the groups stages. I suppose 5-0 away to Bayer Leverkusen is an average result now, where he set up 4 of the goals? Seriously man, denial. Get out of your fucking cages. You need to watch a full game of Manchester United's instead of catching highlights on Match of the Day 2 and forming opinions based on that.

Messi was very good in the last world cup except against Germany. This was generally accepted at the time but people seem to have forgotten this He played OK by his standards. Messi should be scoring, especially at that stage of his career when he was undoubtedly the best player in the World. In the opening game he was trying to score from all angles too against Nigeria, a game they only won 1-0. That was an easy group by the way. You may as well have said he was good in the World Cup except when they needed him most, i.e. against Germany.

Yes he is. If you had said striker then maybe it was agreeable.

Don't start with this recent years shite like . Your claim is major tournaments because Rooney in that last two years for England has 10 in 15 games as a deep player. Is that shite or something now? This is England's problem. Nothing is ever good enough. Messi has played in two World Cups and scored one goal by the way. The comparison isn't laughable at all, just people are in denial about Rooney. Rooney and Messi have almost identical international records except 14 of Messi's goals were in competitive games, compared to Rooney's 28.

It's pretty much the same as Messi and Argentina. Reckon there are some Argentinians calling for Messi not to go to the World Cup?

Seriously some of the opinions in here are borderline retarded sometimes. Dropping Rooney for fuck sake. :lol: You'd play one game without him and be crying to get him back. He's scored 10 in his last 15 appearances as well. He's England's best player, by lightyears. He'll play every game, because nobody is stupid enough to drop him. Even if he was suspended for all the group games he'd still go.

Rooney is now the first player in Premier League history to record double figures for both goals and assists in five different seasons.

This is well safe.

SEMTEX is such a dick man. :lol: Some great fishing there.

$20 on Lewis to win the UK Open. I imagine it'll be him and MVG in the final. Returns $60 in total.

If Wolfsburg didn't score they might have only lost 2 or 3 nil. They annoyed them.

6.

I thought it was under 21 for some reason. Jones would be in the team I posted then obviously.

They're going to make you sweat. Barca 1 down.

How many of then against good teams? Also Arsenal seem to be really missing that overrated c*** Wilshere today How many of Suarez's were against good teams? I don't know but I can say that Suarez always plays well and affects the game against good teams this season anyway. I can't say the same about Rooney Liverpool as a unit are having a terrific season. Everybody is playing well. Even players people thought were useless. In contrast almost our entire team is underperforming. When Rooney doesn't play though we look absolutely awful. No spark at all. You can't watch us too much if you don't see the impact he has in every game he plays, even if he doesn't score or assist.
