2 crackin shots
second on came with a level head
What a goal. Do it for United now.
theres your 100million pound player world football
and he aint going anywhere
Absolutely brilliant effort, so fab
Good work by Johnson to set it up aswell.
thats why he is the best…
he played a great role for them today. just shows how he great he can be in that role behind the front man.
still 1 month and 11 days without live football
even frendlies are welcomed.
Great goal fro Wazza anyway!
The commentator didn’t sound as excited as you usually do after such a great goal huh? Making it sound like a “normal” effort.
Hell, it was a stunning goal!
I’ve said it before, and I say it again. We don’t need the Benzemas & Riberys, all we need is Rooney to play upfront and click with Berbatov!
i don’t believe this! i scored a goal with Roon earlier today on my 08, he did the exact same thing! I knew i had superpowers!
Wazza u are the man.
Nice goal man…..
APART from that spectacular goal, Rooney was poor for England, and I mean poor. He complained recently about SAF sticking him on the left, and how Capello knew better! Well the whole 1st half practically Rooney kept finding himself on the left. Rooney has a very poor 1st touch, and he kept losing the ball, because he always lets it run away from him. Like I said, great goal, but in my honest opinion, that was Rooney’s ONLY contribution of worth to this game. Gerrard was just as bad too, but he was played out of position. I am a Rooney fan, but not a fan of the non entity he was in CL final for us, and for England today!
@ Isaidso
it doesn’t matter. it’s 4-0, 66 games etc. I don’t care.
In Rome the whole team didn’t show up.
Hilarious to hear the ingurland fans chanting “ROONEY ROONEY ROONEY” they will be the same ones that claim he’s a fat bastard and is rubbish just because he’s a United player.
ABU nation. United >england
Spot on Red-Manc…… Rooney only gets the cheers when he scores or England….. all the ABU’s can go fuck themselves
Can you just imagine that the fans that chant for Roon during the England games are not exactly the same fans that boo him during the club football games ?
All u haters should go to hell cos non of u could do wat wazza has done great today my boy
Vida is on the verge of leaving the field with injury while playing for Serbia vs. Austria.
berbatov is doing everything but score against ireland
he is having a stormer
but oshea is down awhile
and oshea is off
May force myself to watch the highlights. I know United fans get slaughtered for our anti – Ingurlund stance but I really cannot get enthusiastic or excited by them. No interest at all. I even hate it when I see Rooney celebrating with the likes of cunts like Saint Stevie and Tiny tears etc.
May be during the world cup I will be up for it, but I seriously doubt it.
Good goal though Wayne lad.
If only he had scored like this in Rome.
i,as an irish man
watch and get behind england when they play these matchs
becuase of rooney
and as i say,as an irish man
i want england to win the world cup
because i want rooney to lift it
i think the guy is world class and should be on the top of the world stage in football at all levels
and i dont hide it
If we are looking for a centre forward, get Rossi back, im watching Italy on bbc3 now and hes scored a screamer and provided a great assist.
Is it true that we have a buy back option from Vilarreal?
sean_m11 united did
but it was only for 2 years i think
maybe 3
but i think its up
Tell me how berba contributed gotta hate tiny tears.. i couldnt see the game
Simple mathematics in the past year:Wayne plays in attack,he scores goals.
@spriter

and anyone else who wants to read
he created so much in a deeper position for bulgaria althou irelands back 4 or really dunne and oshea didnt allow them into the box he was in a very scholes position in the first half and in the second half a position that everyone wants rooney to play in just behind the stricker that came on dimatov (spelling?)
and as i say irelands defence did there job
but the only real chance in the second half they got is when berbatov himself weived his way true with fantastic footwork shot given saved
i really think its the best ive seen him play since hull at home and i really like berbatov(>tevez)
he was the strong heart of a team that battered everything irish in the second half apart from the net
sean_m11 – saw that goal too mate – great strike. Shame we let him go in my opinion.
I just saw in Fifa’s website that Nemanja was taken off at half time in Serbia’s game.Does anyone know have any details?
tiny tears,costas,hows it going?, it was a good finish by the roon, the only problem i have with england liftin the world cup is my hate for that bin dipper gerrard ,and captain jt,i dont really mind most of the england players but they will never win a thing together anyway
Fine Arsene Wenger. I think that Capello could be the guy who will keep these massive egos in check.I think that England and Spain are the two favorites for the World Cup.Carlos Quieroz won tonight with a goal in the 93rd minute but he still has a lot of work to do.
yeah that spain team,they play like a club team,englands players move like strangers, i think that capello is definantly the man for the job though costas
arsene wenger my mind set around that is i want rooney /wes/ rio /carrick/ hargreeves/foster etc to do well alot more than i want tiny tears stevie me and lumps cashley etc to fail. and i love seeing them fail
i think it would be good for the country if england won the world cup, no doubt about it, to be honest id even like to see becks at the world cup gettin a medal,iv never thought he was an outstandin footballer but he always has a good attitude and he dont really come across as charlie big bollocks like lampard an gerrard
although he did kick dave seaman in his head on purpose once
Costas, who scored the 93rd minute Portugal goal mate???
when did he kick him in the head
When did Beckham do that arsene? I don’t remember the game. Stevie Me has also kicked Rivaldo in the head, but he is the media darling so no one said anything about it. The trouble with World Cups outside Europe, is that European teams never win them.
@Isaidso: Bruno Alves mate. The defender who gifted Rooney the ball if you recall.Ronaldo played the 90 and Nani came on in the 76th minute.
it was in the 90′s,infront of the northbank,i think we beat you 1-0 ,dennis bergkamp scored the winner,megged schmeichal@tiny tears, it was a loose ball in the 6 yard box,he kicked his head like a free kick lol the full bend it like beckham style
nah i dont reckon beckham meant it,and seaman never made nothing of it, but it was one of them you could do on purpose an get away with
That was the 95-96 season arsene. I didn’t watch the game but i remember we lost it.
arsene wenger i dont remember that at all
but thats what youtube is there for
costas hello mate
how’d nani do
My god, how dreadful are Portugal? As much as I don’t like saying this but Queiroz truly is shit at being a full-time manager… get yer arse back here
so whats the close season hold for you guys?? potential signings,ins an outs,any sure things?
Costas, what was Ronnie’s performance and Nani’s cameo role like for the Portugeezers then mate? I tried to watch the game online, but couldn’t get a decent link!
Hello GHTT.I didn’t watch the game.I just saw the stats.Seems to me that CQ got prette desperate to find a winner.He brought Nani on for Carvalho.GHTT ,out of curiosity,where you rooting for Berba at all today?I remember celebrating when Ronaldo pulled one back against Greece in Euro 04 and everyone in the room tried to lynch me!
Isaidso, i didn’t watch it either unfortunately.But from what i see,it went as expected.Albania are a tough nut at home.As i said above i am interested to see what’s up with Vida because i read that he was substituted at half time.
What’s the difference, no games coming up anyhoo…
Costas
i got up during the first half and went to the kitchen and said to my misses this is so hard because berbatov was doing so well but i didnt want him to beat ireland because 1 or even 3 points ment alot
but i cant honestly hand on my heart i really wanted berbatov to shine,which he did, i want people to shut up and watch berbatov to see how class the guy is instead of watching him to see him not running as much as park and calling him a lazy fecker
i wanted him to shine
and shine he did
and im so happy with that
Berbatov is class and there is only a few players i have ever called class
@GHTT: He is class. It concerns me a bit that he plays away from the penalty box more and more.I would like to see him more around it.
@What: Yep no games coming up but we don’t want it to be anything serious.Apparently he was injured.Lets hope it’s something minor.
22 goals and counting
but costas he is really so good there
say if united got Klaas-Jan Huntelaar or a Klaas-Jan Huntelaar type player
or if manucho kiko simpson turn into thet type of player
that barca triangle type of play with berbatov rooney behind a striker up front or even ron up there
@GHTT: Yes i can see him like that. I was referring to the Scholes position you talked about above.He has gone in that position for United as well sometimes.This season his most magical moments were around the box(His assist to Ronaldo against West Ham and his control and pass to Tevez against City).Oh,and he should shoot more.I haven’t seen too many shots of his go wide.
when i watch rooney play and berbatov play i dont understand this cry of 35 million is needed for tevez
he played like scholes first half
but switched to a rooney second
with glimpses of attack like the way eric or henry used to jsut burst into the box
he is unreal
and still rooney is better
its just so good for united
he should shoot more
but he is so good when i t comes to assists and he knows it
His touch is still the best i have seen in years.The ball is magnetised at his feet.People say that Tevez would have given the Barca defence a hard time.That might be true.But if Berba had started the final instead of Giggs and played behind Ronaldo,who from that Barca midfield was going to get the ball from him?A lot of “what ifs” after that final.
Vidic had a leg injury says Skysports.
i havent got into a what if about rome
and i never will
best team won
and united were set up to win not chase
so rome was sad but its football
oshea took a bad fall but seems to be cool
hope vidic is alright
and ill say it about berbatov
what should not be said
he is the closest ive seen to a player like cantona
dont get me wrong he aint no eric
because there will never be another eric
but his style and class scores creates awarness sharpness first touch
team player even to a fault just reminds me of eric
even when he was at spurs i used to say it and the fact that united have that type of player teamed up with what ever type of player rooney is(he’s like whiteside law buchan robson best bruce cantona charlton keane foulkes and hughes had an orgy and 9 months later rooney was born)
Yeah Rooney is like Schwarzenegger in Twins. He needed 9 fathers to turn out like that!I hope in Rome was the last we saw him on the wing.
if sir alex thinks he should play against some teams on the wings im gonna just go with him because who am i to tell sir alex what he’s doing is wrong, im no tevez. and the reason being he’s always right
in the big picture
he plays kids against a team that are mid table and united lose
they’ll end up winning the league because the first team got a rest
in sir alex i trust
and costas i trust you do to
what time is it your end
gotta hate tiny tears – Further to my earlier post and your reply. I know what you are saying mate I would love to see Rooney lift the World Cup but
a) It would be the cunt that is Tiny Tears lifting the thing
and
b) It will never happen, not in my lifetime!
Sure it would be great for Rooney and Rio to win things with England but to be honest im not too fussed about it. Can you imagine the hysteria surrounding fucking John Terry, we’d never hear the end of it. For Beckham i really hope Englan do well in SA, but for our lads….they really dont need England. Here’s hoping that Rio also retires from international football after the world cup.
To be honest why didn’t Rooney score with the first shot?
I think the lad had a poor game.
The ball came at such a awkward height and high speed that Rooney did well just to direct it goalwards, not to mention the goalkeeper did really well to claw it out. In all, the whole team played badly. In particular, Glen Johnsen had a shocker. Although he did well for the Rooney assist, he gifted many chances for the opposition to attack. Chelsea would do well to get him, haha
@ ghtt berba didnt do anything during the game that stood out at all mate, a few deft touches and stuff but look who he was up against, he missed an absolute sitter 1 on 1 with given when he should have smashed it he tried to control it and pass it in, i wasnt impressed anyway, had he 1 shot on target?
@GHTT: Of course mate.Always believe in SAF. As far as time is concerned. I am 2 hours in front of you.
super finish by Rooney
hey Costas your up so early dude. what’s the time over there now ?
Vida made a tackle and then played till the end of the half injuried..
Morning guyz
iv been looking around and i found this player… looks class and could well be the perfect signing… forget benzema and everyone else this guy looks good…
http://www.imscouting.com/player_to_watch.aspx?id=LoNGBDW6s/zzEKH472MxsA||&name=Taison
and another thing
some of u are arguing for no striker cauz of welbeck and macheda..
i was thinking how about an OLD striker and well we could sign van nistelrooy. i know its not the ideal signing but in 2 seasons he could well score about 15 goals.. and a punt worth taking if united can sign kevin davies.. again NOT the ideal signing but strong player who can hold up the balll… is old and well can leave bringing in the way for macheda and welbeck to shine…
yes or no?
above comment
the link doesnt work just search “TAISON”
@ ridwan
this is he i take it
great player
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_eaFIwG7qs
van nistelrooy-no
why sign someone we had and havent needed in the 3 years hes been gone
and if you do like that type of player then Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is the man for you
everything ruud has 5 years ago except he’s faster
@Wazza: The time here is 2 hours ahead of the British time. So when i wrote that message it was 8:32 am.
@GHTT
the reason im sayin van nistelrooy and not klaas is cauz we need a player who plays for us for 2seasons and then retires so that the door is left open for macheda and welbeck?
who though?
any volunteers
Not a bad idea at all, how old is he now? would he really settle for being on the bench? would Fergie ever welcome him back ?
Costas : that means India is only 2 hrs ahead of Greece. so does your time go back 1 hour during the winter like in UK ?
that is wayne rooney!!!!!!!!!!!
@Wazza: Exactly. It goes back one hour at the last Sunday of October and it goes one hour forward again at the last Sunday of March.So yeah we are pretty close,India and Greece. Have you seen that idiot Pareira’s comments about teams like United raping Brazilian football?And coaches like him rape his profession!
i seen it costas i far as i know united have only ever had 4 brazilian players and 3 of them play now and united got 2 of themas a package deal
my numbers are wrong there sorry
ill go again
as far as i know united have only ever had 5 brazilian players and 4 of them play now and united got 2 of them as a package deal
Sky Sports Breaking news………
Wigan recieve two bids in the excess of 16 million from Manchester United and Real Madrid for Antonio Valencia.
sky sports are saying united and real offered over 16 million for Valencia
kings just seein you wrote that
Thanks Kings and GHTT.It will be interesting to see which offer Wigan prefer.This must not be good news for Nani.
@GHTT: As far as i am concerned,these players have parents right?Who appointed Parreira as their spokesperson? Messi was at Barca at a very young age.I didn’t see this damage his career or Argentinian football.The same goes for Ronaldo(the Brazilian) who was at Eindhoven when he was 17.But it’s easier to blame United than your own country’s shortcomings isn’t it.
GHTT – Funny how any mention of United gets us glued to the set straight away and keeps us interested, that’s how much we love the club!
Costas – Pleasure mate. I remember a quote from Valencia saying that he would prefer to join United as he wants to stay in the Premiership. We’ll see though. Apparantly he has gone away to think about. Watch this space as they say.
Get in wazza brilliant strikers goal. btw Berbatov looked good last night – thats the position I´d like to see him playing for united…
Rooney in the Hole, Berbatov delivering the chances, Ronaldo running riot on the wings. That would make us unbeatable…
I stand corrected.I wasn’t Carlos Alberto Parreira who critisized United.It was Carlos Alberto former Brazilian footballer.
