With Wayne Rooney suspended for the first two games of the Euros, Bryan Robson has claimed that Danny Welbeck would do a great job filling in for him before joining him as a strike partner this summer.
“I don’t think Danny would let anybody down,” said Robson. “He’s a real hard worker. He’s worked very hard over the last couple of years to develop his talent. He’s just started to score goals now and that will give him great confidence. The way Danny is playing for Manchester Untied at the moment, he wouldn’t let England down if Roy Hodgson does put him in the squad and ask Danny to fill in for Wayne at this moment in time.”
After coming out of retirement to play for United again, there have been more calls for Paul Scholes to come out of international retirement to play for England in Euro 2012, but Robson reckons this is unlikely.
“He’s probably the most talented in terms of vision and passing the ball,” said Robson. “Scholes has got great vision. He is the only one that can really answer that question though. I don’t know what Paul Scholes has got in his mind. He retired years ago. I don’t think it’s something which Scholes would probably take onboard after so many years out but there is only Paul who can answer that question.”

I hope Scholes does not go to the Euros.
Danny deserves his place at the Euros. Hard worker and can do something with the ball on his feet.
Just don’t get injured!!
I fear for Welbeck in an ingurland shirt. I’m guilty of getting on his back for some of the chances he misses in the box in a United shirt. The grief he’ll get will be huge if he does it at the Euros. I have a nasty feeling he’ll be the next scapegoat a la Ronaldo, Beckham and many others.
I still think he should go and its hard to see past him and Sturridge being the front 2 for the opening two games. Nobody else even comes close to deserving it this season.
Well course he should Bryan. And he will be going.
NotoriousRedDevil – Now then mate. You well? Hey I can accept Danny being a scapegoast if he comes back and has a following season like Ronnie and Becks did!
Interesting to see that Scholes with sat with Joyce last night at the game. Perhaps returning to the coaching role next season?
Welbz has been ruled out for this weekend by Sir Alex, more’s the pity!
Two threads with Robbo quotes, feels like an RoM heaven for me!!
On Welbz, I also hope he gets picked, its a good stage for the lad to get some experience and I honestly cannot think of anyone better leading the line for England with Rooney suspended
@ King Eric – I’m okay mate. Hows the little’un?
Still mulling over what to do on Sunday. Last week was surreal. Agree about Welbeck, already prepared for doing plenty of sticking up for him.
@ Cedars – You’ve probably had to change underwear with 2 Robbo quotes on the same day!!!
Sunderland skipper Lee Cattermole: “I put Danny as the young player of the year this year.”
NRD
I did mate, also wearing a bib right now to take care of my drooling!! Good to see you here posting mate, you back in the UK for good now?
@ Cedars – Yes mate done and dusted. Until another opportunity arises anyway. Won’t be as busy now so will be posting and be warned there will be a few anti-glazer rants coming soon!
NRD
Rant away my friend, besides its going to be a long summer so we need us as many debatable topics as possible…….Not forgetting the transfer speculations with some who just seem to know it all!!!

sir alex on mancini
? thought that was already a forgone conclusion,what are Englands options,Dafoe,Crouch,Carroll, bit weird Robson saying i don’t think Danny would let anybody down better than all 3 i mentioned above,would have thought it’s a guarantee
@wayne
Haven’t you heard? Any Carroll is ‘on form’. He’s dominated John Terry on a couple of occassions, so is therefore clearly ready to be England’s saviour on the international stage.
@wayne
On a more serious note, there is Sturridge, who I would prefer to Crouch and Carroll.
kanchelskis hi mate me to forgot about him but he’s been off form and his final ball is awful,just think taking Danny wouldn’t even be open to discussion,seems a no brainer to me
I’m learning to grudgingly appreciate Crouch. There’s obviously more to his game than meets the eye because otherwise how is he so much better at basically doing the same thing as Carroll?
@wayne
Yeh, he’s not hit the heights of earlier in the season and Di Matteo doesn’t seem to be his biggest fan.
But yes, for me Welbeck strolls into the side, at least for the first two games when Rooney is suspended.
ENGLAND TEAM FOR EURO 2012:
Amos
Jones
Ferdinand
Smalling (miracle recovery)
Fryers
Welbeck
Carrick
Cleverley
Young
Rooney
Owen
SORTED!
Somebody gag kanchelskis!
Well I’ve already declared myself for Team Ireland this summer but my pick for ingurlands strikers for the Euros would be
Welbeck
Sturridge
Rooney
Defoe
one of Crouch or Carroll.
Ingurland are seriously lacking in goalscorers when you have to consider Crouch or Carroll. Neither deserve it but its just another option which is always sensible.
England also have the option of playing Young behind the main striker,without Rooney play Danny up front and Young in Rooneys role.Maybe Carroll will eventually come good and haven’t been watching the Dippers last few weeks but what i’ve seen of him just doesn’t seem to have a good enough skill set to be a top player, outside of the box he’s just poor
@wayne
Was just gonna say that. Can probably drop one of those strikers from NRD’s list. As you say, Young can be effective in the support striker role, and has been for England on a number of occassions.
Of course he should. What are the alternatives? Heskey, Crouch, Defoe and Bent?
England’s No. 1 scapegoat this summer is going to be Wayne Rooney. For obvious reasons, he got himself suspended and therefore couldn’t lead them to Euro glory. That much is certain.
If that doesn’t suffice, they’re obviously going to be looking at the remaining United players on their roster to make scapegoats out of. Danny will be an obvious choice because of how bad he is going to look being paired up with Andy Carroll. Rio might not get in with legends like Lescott and Terry on the roster. But if he does, then he is going to be another one because he is going to suck with those idiots as partners. Carrick isn’t going to play, so that’s a good thing because his game’ll look ugly next to Lampard and Gerrard.
Who else is there?
For my money, all United players should be banned from appearing for England by Sir Alex. It only makes them look bad and doesn’t do them any good at all.
@ Balaji – You’re right all United players should be banned from ingurland but that is nothing but a dream.
Reality though the only reason I’m saying Crouch or Carroll is because at some point when ingurland are 2-1 down they are going to end up playing hoof long balls and they are going to need a Big Fucking Goof to hoof it to.
The Young option has been tried before so they probably will go for that. Which means Theo Walcott will be in the squad which is a laughable at best, sad at worst.
berba seems to leave this summer according to his agent lazio is in pole position
one of the most under-rated player alongside carrick and by far better then some striker linked to us (lorente cavani…)
berba have scored 65 goals in 148 games for us
If only Sir Alex had the power to ban them……….Most players love playing for their countries and you cannot blame them. Scholes showed them the way and its in the players’ hands to opt out, otherwise no one can do anything about it
Like King Eric Said, I’d take Welbeck or any of our players to flop big in the Euros and become a national hate figure if that is what it takes to fast track them =p
On a side note, If Ronaldo didn’t do the wink, Rooney might have taken the full brunt of the abuse of the nation instead of Ronaldo. How would things have turn out? Small margins, but makes you wonder. Guess only God knows =)
I would like to see Grant Holt play for England. I think he’s cooler in front of goal that Carroll and he’s done a lot better with what he’s been supplied with than Carroll or Crouch.
Must confess though, all things considered, I’m not -that- fussed. I think Greece proved that you can win any knockout tournament if you have the right tactics and approach for your personnel, and you can lose any tournament if your manager is a goon, just look at Argentina. With that in mind I think it genuinely doesn’t matter much who represents England as long as they are top flight professionals played effectively and to their strengths.
However looking at his stint at Liverpool, I’m not sure if Roy can deliver. Although that might have been a case of him being a workman equipped with bad tools.
U . N . I . T. E. D…..UNITED are the team for me, with a nick nack paddywhack, give the dog a bone…why don’t City Fuck off home!!!!
20!!
Mike
You always sing my tune, ALWAYS……
Fuck off city Fuck off city Fuck off city Fuck off city Fuck off city Fuck off city Fuck off city
UNITED are the team for me
I wish them no harm but the Summerbees really suck dick….Not sure who is more appalling the dad or his son…. On a plus note though it seems those pair of dumb fucks are the only proper city fans, which in a way says a lot about the shithole of a club that is city…
The lottery money will not last forever and they will soon be back where they belong

That looks like Rio to me mate

only thing I’d add to that is, Fuck city Fuck city fuck fuck fuck ‘em some mo. Oh and yea last, Fuck city. And fuck city. QpR – please!
The sumerbees are grade A cunts. Nicky sumerbee used to spin round town in a canary yellow 3 series thinking he was Charlie big bollocks!! His dad, well fuck me, there aren’t any words fitting enough to describe this sorry fool of a shit stain on our good earth!
Red Army!!! Red Army!!!
@CedarsDevil
Yeah, modelling his favourite tea-towel. Seriously, that kit is embarrassing.
manutd.com say: Manchester United’s new 2012/13 home kit blends cutting-edge technology with a design inspired by the club’s rich history and close bond with the heritage of Manchester.
“cutting-edge technology” – I hope it has advantages for the player’s, why else do it?
It is not traditional, so all this harking back to the old days seems like rhetoric.
Oh lord…
http://t.co/YJOWna8I
@Mikekelly12
Haha. Dont’ mind a fruity keeper kit so much. Fits with their reputation for eccentricity.
But having our outfielders prancing about in Gingham. Goodness me.
Regarding the new kit, ‘fuck me sideways and forget about tossing me in a hot pan, make that a bonfire’
Disgusting does not begin to describe it……..
Mind you I would still support the lads even if they wore chest high stockings!!
@CedarsDevil
Haha. Trying to think which of the lads would look funniest in chest-high stockings.
Jones I reckon.
Ignore the last post, playing in stockings tends to give players the itch…….
Kanchelskis
What were they thinking?? Is there a clause in city’s new Nike deal saying city can design our new kits??!
kanchelskis
Evra would be fully covered up, probably looks like a tranny bank robber!! ha ha ha
Cedars
Didn’t realise u had a penchant for hosiery ?? Ha ha!!
Kanchelskis
Think DDG would look a picture!!
The pyjama has arrived hey? Well, there’s a big chance I won’t be following the club next season (real life calls), so Nike have given me a great reason to not feel bad about it!
Mike
All your fault mate…. Bragging on about getting to OT in your red baby doll and black leather whip for James…. I fully understood that you could never find him though!!
Costas
What’s the story pal?
@Mike
Army duty mate. I have to enlist within the next year and serve for 9 months. It’s obligatory over here. Not to worry. I won’t be joining any battles or even hold a gun. Unless I bump into Liam Gallagher, lol.
Costas – Hello mate. What the hell do you mean you won’t be following United? Plastic glory hunting bastard ha ha!!!
NRD – Yes sound thanks mate. Kipping from 7.30pm till 6.15 am now. On solids twice a day too. Only 20 weeks old tomorrow,
Marq – good point mate,. IF Rooney had received the full brunt of that sending off WOULD Ronnie have hit the heights the following season like he did? God I loved that season staring with the 4 goals in 19 minutes on opening day.
Costas – Just read your last post. FUCK ME. Seriously? Costas the squaddie. Doesn’t bare thinking about. You MUST post some pics of you in Army get up.
Costas
General Costas!! Well done pal! You can stick your United kit on under your uniform mate, nobody will know!!
Jason Cunty on talkshie says United are a team in decline & Fergie lost the plot.
with no chance what so ever of keeping up with the blue tide that is set to rule for years to come!!
taking the piss out of fergie…………….cunts the lot of em!!
if united are a team in decline what does that say about the prem?
how many points clear of rest of the prem are this shite United??
I know,I know I should not listen to that station …..they wind me right up…………..Bastards
@King Eric
Hi mate. Not crazy about it since it’s basically 9 months of doing nothing (and missing a lot), but it is what it is. I might send you some pics by e-mail, but I don’t think I’ll post any of them here. I’ll be too embarassed.
Costas- how about Lemnos , nice quite place to be stationed . Used to gave around 10,000 personell apparently .
Costas- Liam and Noel are hard bastards. Only person they are afraid of is Robbiie Williams
@Mike
I will probably end up more gofer than general, lol. The reason the service lasts 9 months (and a few years back it was even more) is because they need personnel at the army units for cleaning, driving, cooking or office jobs. Whatever you best qualify for. The basic army sevice is over within 3 weeks. It sucks, but hey, I’ll be back in time for 2013-2014 and Bebe’s huge breakthrough.
@Redbilly
Robbie Williams?
I wouldn’t mind being stationed in Lemnos. But they assign you wherever they want. Still have to wait and see about that. It will probably be an island though.
So what have I missed?
Colonel Costas, will you perhaps be seconded to the medical corps?
Maybe Brigadier19 can put in a good word for you.
Make sure you learn to defend yourself against a man with a pointed stick.
A kebab skewer, to be precise.
Well it cost city best part of 950 million to win this premiership – which is likely they will win.
The Defence rests your honour
Dr. Costas M.D. Manchester United
Sounds good that.
Costas- some tears back a feud developed between liam and Williams over who was best. Liam claimed Robbie was a pussy ect. Robbie offered him out in a boxing bout. He declined
Chef Costas Kebabopolous
That sounds even better!
Costas Chief Economist
Sounds boring
The Defense rests?
That sounds like the army I know.

For private Costas.
He is the very model of a modern Major-General
He’s information tactical, statistical, and trivial
He knows the kings of Football, and he quote the games historical
From Newton Heath to Glazerville, in order categorical
@Albert Ross, MG
Ha, thanks guys. I am hopeful my assigned duty will have something to do with stats.
Not sure about the chef thingy. I like kebabs, but I can’t cook them. 
@Redbilly
Ah, thanks for the info. Hadn’t heard of the story before. And knowing Liam’s tendency to talk out of his ass on a regular basis, it doesn’t surprise me.
@willie
I think I’ll hear this quite often from now on.
lawman 10 – I’m listening to Cundy on talkshite, it’s laughable what he’s saying. I think as a Chelsea fan he should be a lot more worried about how the chavs are going to keep up with City, Utd can take care of themselves.
Costas
Never fear – I’ve mastered the art of the kebab recipe and cooking
Old friend
One army One United
No matter what
19
Costas – You’re already part of the Red Army! Spread the word!
Just don’t be pulling a private Pyle mate? Full Metal Redjacket! 
Forged with Watson The Red Knight will Rise
On cundy cunt and green fat bastard and everyone else.
It is not for the likes of you who do not believe in Manchester United to tell us who and what we are.
We are simply UNITED.
19
May you be with the force, Costas!
MG – unsunderable unity manifested soon, as we rent Sunderland asunder.
Let me start off with saying United > inglurland, Republik of Mancunia, we all agree United are better than england.
Anyway I hope hardly any get chosen, I wouldnt want Welbeck to play and risk being too tired/injured for the new season same goes for Carrick and Rio especially. Quite glad Wayne is banned as by the time he’s returned somebody else will already be at fault for our nations failure, possibily hart the best keeper the worlds ever seen dropping the ball into his own net or something.
I love internationals just for the sheer comedy they provide when ingurland are involved. Also the way the press with undoubtly blame a United player in some way makes the next season alot more interesting. Hope Ireland do themselves proud though, going to be watching them I may be a Manc but my grandad was Irish so thats a good enough reason to be rooting for them over england.
Costas- Porto Heli and a trip around spetses for me in the summer.
Colonel Costas!!! Good luck mate.
Just seen pictures of the new shirt. Are Nike for real!! Its fucking horrible and worse still lazy as fuck. Need to go back to Adidas ASAP, no point going back to Umbro as Nike own them so kits would just be the same.
Old Friend
Nice to have you back.
Some of the Greek battle dress is quite fetching, as in this fine example.

Others Are not as fearful, although no doubt distracting to the enemy.

Are you likely to wear either of those ensembles, Costas?
@Albert Ross
Lol, the first one isn’t worn anymore. I’d love to wear that one! The 2nd one is worn by the Presidential guards. I won’t end up there because I am not tall enough. It will just be plain old green camouflage for me.
@RedBilly
Sounds great. Good choices. Hope you have fun.
@willie
Ah don’t worry mate. It won’t be anything that drastic for me. Some hazing does go on, but it’s not enough for anyone to crack.
@Notorious
Hi mate. Thanks a lot. I will let you all know when it will happen. I don’t plan on enlisting until November.
The thought of losing this title has Costas joining the army, for fuck sake!
Come on United, sort it out! Let’s have 30 shots on target.
Costas – Yes send some over pal. So you won’t actually go on the frontline anywhere then? All the best.
lawman10 – Heard that fat cunt Cundy mate giving it large and even doing a piss take advert thing on Fergie. Said City will be so much stronger for years and United haven’t a hope. Worry about your own 6th place finishing side you permatanned Orange bastard. He should know better than anyone being a “Chelsea Legend” that they thought Chelsea would dominate for a decade. Three titles to our 4 in that time. Cunts the lot of them.
Yes Noel Gallagher said he hoped Robbie Williams died of AIDS. OH no it was Daman Albarn he said that about. Either way a classy man.
MancunianRed – Ha. Spot on. I love the hype Ingerlund get every single fucking tournament yet fail miserably every single time. I have no time whatsoever for the little Ingerlunders and the “Argentina” chant was class years ago as it REALLY got their backs up. Especially West Ham. Oh how I laughed when Terry, Barry and co got ironed by the Germans that Sunday afternoon in South Africa. What was even more amusing is the fact Fat Franks goal should have clearly stood and the nation was apoplectic. Superb.
“We all agree, United are better than England”.
United>england ….. fuck you
King Eric- sadly England are the spuds / dippers if the international arena. Promise do much but never deliver when it’s important .
Personally , sooner were done sooner out players are back hopefully without injury. Only united matters.
Talk of united decline is nothing but wishful thinking . All are jealous of us, even the bitters I’d they were honest with themselves , which they are not . Only leading us by GD .
If you want a laugh look At KGB . In the final win it or your not even in the competition next year. Sorry cunty look closer to home .
@King Eric
Nah, nothing like that mate. That’s not obligatory. It’s just that every Greek male has to serve at some point. Basic training is 1 month maximum. The rest is just running errands.
Commander in chief Costa
Don’t take no shit!
Let us know where you are stationed and we’ll all come and vist!
