Rooney, greatest ever England striker?

[Hobbit]

I'm totally professional and always take any meets and comps seriously by always having an early night and never stay out drinking or having a potentially dodgy ruby.....

Tonight Mathew, I'm going to be Billy Liar 

Pants on fire

The FA have told him to apologise , they have shown the same spineless attitude they normally do

He had a night out for goodness sake , he didn't do anything embarrassing, he didn't smash anything up , he didn't drive a golf buggy around the grove , he had a few drinks and allowed a few guests to take a few selfies with him. What exactly did he do wrong - nothing , nothing illegal, cops weren't called , wedding guests or hotel didn't complain

It should only matter if he was playing a game the next day but he wasn't - in fact not for another week

The reaction is pathetic - expected from the gutter press - that toilet paper have created a story out of nothing and people have sucked it up like they do with that rag

Not very often I agree with you Phil, but word for word, I couldn't have written that any better.

:thup:

Great post, absolutely spot on. It's nice to see a common sense reply to some of the drivel that has been written in this thread.

I would say he's ONE of the greatest England strikers, but no one can say that he hasn't given 100% when he's played for England, even when not playing at his best.

To be honest I think some of his performances on the pitch recently have been more embarrassing than when he did at the wedding. Kind of none story about a footballer whose best days are behind him. He had his moments but was found wanting far too often in major tournaments to ever be classed as one of England's best. Possibly gets in the top 15 to 20 at best, but that's about it for me.

And as for the 100%, I give 100% when I play golf. But I'm still rubbish. Which is a polite way of saying I expect a lot more than 'tries very hard' from alleged top strikers.

The guy is done, chunky guy whos game was built on speed and power was always going to end sooner than the average career.

Maureen whining at the FA for allowing Rooney to drink, er hello he is an adult I think he is the one who decided to drink he wasn't forced.

The guy is at the end of the career. Simple. He's lost his speed, doesn't know where he wants to play. I think Mourinho moaning is par for the course with him and his long running feud with the FA.
