So's Marlon King. Didn't stop us wanting him to play and score every game did it. And as you quite rightly said, we don't have a wealth of talent. Only Rooney and Cole and possibly Joe Hart could be described as being world class. Every opportunity you have you have to play these 3 players if...

Exactly. Only Ashley Cole and Wayne Rooney and probably Joe Hart would get in the starting 11's of any other team in these championships.

Well, as I say, it's a moot point. He'll be playing and almost certainly the first name down on the team sheet.

That's okay then. I take back my vitriol! :)

What sort of signal though does it send to not play your best player and the one player all the opposition teams fear? Aren't you playing straight into their hands by not playing him? He's the one play any opposition team and manager fears above all others. He has to play and it's not even...

It's all about getting a group of footballers being comfortable with each other and being to play off each other. And you are saying we can't do that with Rooney? The Rooney who plays alongside Young and Welbeck week in week out and has an understanding with and who...

It's not about sending a message though it's about playing his best players.

Have to say that sometimes at the moment it doesn't even feel like our club anymore.

Totally understand that feeling. No ground, owners that don't give a shit about us and many players seemingly behaving in the same vein. It's been nothing but pain for many, many years.

The days are long gone when your team's players were local and lived locally and actually cared about the clubs they played for. The players used to be in the community and part of the community. They used to be one of us. Footballers on the whole are all mercenaries these days unfortunately.

Books have been submitted to the FA haven't they? Yes they have, unfortunately they were Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets and Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day.

If they ever get to play for England will they be over rated tossers too?

I tired withholding my mortgage too. That didn't go down to well either.

Doesn't matter if he carries a threat or not. He's about the only one we have who can actually pass the ball to a team mate. If you look at his pass completion rate it is excellent. We need better ball retention and Wayne Rooney gives you that. He also has 28 goals in 74 appearances. That's a...

You hear the opposition players and managers in their interviews. They have all been saying the one England player they fear and the one player they rate is Wayne Rooney. He would walk into any England team at the moment.

I think Rooney should walk straight back into the team. He's the best player we've got. First name on the team sheet for me.

Both Milner and Young look short of what is required to be an international footballer. Young has been particularly shocking these past two games. Who do you replace him with though, Downing? :o

And physio and gateman, ticket office manager and chief burger flipper.

I'd rather he was a man with a mission.

Well that's what I'm saying. AT needed extra help last season and so this season they have drafted in Carsley to help. If they now get rid of Harrison then we are still short of that help surely?
