Rooney is vastly overrated.

Yet still the biggest hope for England and United. Sadly, this is the problem with the performances / results of both teams. Until he realises the football is more important than his c*ck, and he's sorted his marriage out, we won't see anything like the Rooney of last year.

No. You are wrong. The fact that Capello and Mancini pick him as a right-winger is good enough for me.

Do you honestly think that all wingers should be played on the ‘correct’ side?

He also played his best stuff when cutting inside for 'Boro. I think he could be used a bit like van de Vaart at Spurs, where he is given a free role to create what he wants - it's a role I think he could thrive in.

Of course, what England really need is some decent strikers, and quickly, otherwise they have absolutely no chance of causing any trouble at a major championship.

Not trolling here but with regards to the Liverpoo farrago, how can the board have the right to sell the club over and above the actual owners?? Is it all linked to debts and release clauses and the likes? Just seems a bit odd that Gillett & Hicks, who are always classed as the Owners, have to sell up now.

Because that's what they agreed to do! hence why they lost the court case after renaging on the agreement.

Its simple really Broughton was given the job to sell the club.

Two lying gits said in April: "Owning Liverpool Football Club over these past three years has been a rewarding and exciting experience for us and our families. Having grown the Club this far we have now decided together to look to sell the Club to owners committed to take the Club through its next level of growth and development.

"We are delighted that Martin Broughton has agreed to take the position of Chairman, working alongside the club's excellent senior management team. Martin is a distinguished business leader of excellent judgment and with a great reputation. He is a genuine football supporter and will seek to oversee the sales process in the best interests of the Club and its supporters."

There seemed to be a few whoppers outside the high court today.

How can you force the owners to sell though??

I'm going to offer the morgage company a fiver for the blokes house across the road because he's fallen behind on his repayments. Hopefully the courts will agree with me

I've said it once, I'll say it again, but this time slowly and loudly.

BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY AGREED WHEN THEY GOT REFINANCE IN APRIL WITH RBS.

They wouldn't have got the refinance in April without that agreement.

It only needed a majority vote of the 5 board members to sell the club, they voted 3 - 2 to sell the club to NESV. Well, it would have been 3 - 2 if the yanks hadn't thrown their dummy out and sacked two of the board members, which the agreement and the courts said they couldn't, so the three board members at Liverpool, voted presumably 3 - 0.

What is so hard to understand about that.

These two really are cowboys along with another one called Jim Jordan.

accused RBS of a "grand conspiracy"

Think RBS might want to see you back in court to sue you twits over that claim.
