Wayne Rooney
Did anyone notice in last night's programme, one of the clips showing a young Rooney scoring for Everton, the first player to congratulate him was Lee Carsley.

The people who slag Rooney off calling him and his family all the names under the sun are the same fans who jump and fist pump for joy when he scores for England :shrug:

He would get into any English clubs starting 11, and could bet the likes of Bayern, Real Madrid and Barca would all love someone of his quality and experience in the squad.

I don't have any issue with Rooney but does anyone care about the England team anymore. I'm very apathetic about them and its the impression I get from the majority of other people I know. Admittedly the long procession of meaningless qualifiers doesn't help as there not worth getting excited about!

The problem with the Engl;and team is that barring a disaster we will qualify so it is never anything to get excited about, and then we simply arent good enough to progress far, due to lack of creativity at International level
If we did get to say the semi finals of the Euro Im sure we would all get caught up in it again.
The problem I personally had for the past few years was I didnt actually like the people playing for England due to many of their off field activities or on field snarling, so could never get much joy from them doing well.
They do to be fair seem a bit of a better bunch of people now so I'll be rooting for them but expect disappointment, like Bees inplayoffs

Yep I did. Also thought Christ just how many toys do those kids need. But then I thought half are probably his! (Toys I mean not the kids)

I reckon it is. You may be surprised to hear I didn't watch the programme but timed no doubt to coincide with some commercial sponsorship push as his career starts to wind down.
Did they cover the family part when he behaved like a proper gent to his pregnant wife ?
All about respect eh

Not explicitly mentioned although Coleen said they when he was younger he did some stupid things "that all young men do".

This has to be a joke. He's been mediocre at best for last two years. The clubs u mention wouldn't touch him with a barge pole

I saw the trailer last week and was surprised to hear the BBC describe him as "England's greatest goalscorer". Surely they meant England's highest goalscorer?
Also, why did his wife look so startled?

If you watched it you would of heard Lampard say all the players felt the same, it was just that Rooney had the bottle to say it.

Before last night I detested Rooney and largely down to the hype that hasn't been lived up to since 2004.
I remember him shagging grannies, swearing at refs, getting away with far more fouls, punches and really nasty tackles than any other English footballer and getting sent off for a reckless stamp that saw us lose to Portugal. Top of the pile was him slagging off fans who had the cheek to boo us after we drew with Algeria in South Africa!
What we saw last night was a likeable, thick bloke who can't communicate but is proud of his wife and kids and loves his work.
It was a decent PR job and he has certainly had a great career and set records that will probably never be broken. It's not sour grapes but he'll never be World class in my eyes as never does it in the highest stage and peaked at 18 or 19.
I'd like his bank balance but I don't think I'd fancy being him for more than a few weeks.
The BBC did him far more good than bad but might have been more interesting if they'd not made it such a gush fest asking him about guitars he can't play.

Doesn't make it right, blokes spending thousands to watch that shower underperform and then get the hump when they're not being idolised!!!!!
So it confirms some footballers are more snidey than hot head Rooney but his behaviour was despicable and the fact that he didn't apologise immediately disgraceful.

Im not trying to say hes in the right Sono......................... Just that we cant just tar him as like you said most feel the same or at most worse..................
This aside, i stand by my view that hes class and England and Utd have been better for having him in their sides. England fans will never appreciate what they have IMO. Our media especially are just waiting for us to fail so they can sell another paper or two.
Im one of Englands biggest critics and think we could play s much better, but i just hate the band wagon that everyone jumps on to belittle our better players. Its happened to Rooney and will happen to the next rising star in our side. 50 goals scored IMO is impressive and i salute him for his service.

No argument mate, his record speaks for itself, he is the best we've had for years, has had a great career. However in my opinion he's had so little competition for his place over the years he's been lucky to get that many games and to score as many goals as he has for his country.
Too often he's really disappointed when it matters and for that reason I'll never be convinced he's really ever been World class since he was a teenager.
Sorry

Spot on there. TBH I think hes past his best but still in the bracket of class players below Messi/Ronaldo.
Could you imagine if these class players weve had in the last 15-20years had actually turned up and gelled as a team.
Neville
Lampard
Gerrard
Campbell
Ferdinand
Shearer Retired too early
Scholes As above
Beckham
Cole
Terry
J Cole
Rooney
Owen
Bloody hell the list could go on. IMO without wanting to go too far off topic it shows how poor their attitude was or how poorly managed they were...................................... Or the fact that they were just over hyped lol

Plus probably the best natural finisher of the past 25 years in Robbie Fowler, and dont forget how good Owen Hargreaves and Ledley King were before injury robbed them of a good career
In theory you should add Heskey because it seems every manager and player loved having him in the team
I actually played against him in a 5 a side tournament last year before he joined Bolton and to be fair to him he was f***ing useless!

But does your boss stand to the side of your desk/workplace slagging you off, swearing, booing and venting frustration when you dont perform as well?????

Thing is they made the Quarter Finals and on most occasions lost on penalties. I think we underestimate how difficult it is to win a tournament as only one team can win it. Another way to look is no team could beat them and therefore they did well but couldn't quite finish the job off. No shame in that.

Its not a secret he's said many times he likes playing the field so doesn't settle down with women. However, he does want kids hence why he looks after his son.
