no9 is who wear ah for england usually

This one:
Edit: Looks like a very bad decision by the ref if you ask me. Not so much about Rooney going down,but more more towards what could the ref have possibly seen from that.

Their is a probability that ronaldo's going to miss the world cup. There are in fourth spot at the moment.

Argentina is also in fourth spot(play-off spot) and the team at fifth spot is only 2 points adrift.

good luck

from the magnified image, got pull abit rite?

Ex-Red Andrew Cole says United's strike trio of Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen will bag plenty of goals this season.

Speaking at MUTV's Wednesday Night at the Red Cafe programme, Cole, now a regular visitor to Old Trafford as a fan, said: "Rooney has started the season really well. He's ready to step into Ronaldo's shoes. His attitude is 'I'm top, and I'm going to prove it'. He's the man to get 25-30 goals this season."

Cole is well placed to judge the abilities of United's front men, having scored 121 goals in 275 appearances for United. And it's not just Rooney he's impressed with. "It's not easy coming to United in your first season," he adds. "The spotlight is on you straight away and everyone expected Berbatov to get 30 goals last year.

"I don't think he's that type of player, but he brings something different to the team. He's so elegant. Then there's Michael Owen. There aren't many natural finishers around. Sir Alex told me that if he keeps Owen fit he'll get goals."

MANCHESTER United manager Sir Alex Ferguson knows Wayne Rooney likes to wander around the pitch but claims the England man is at his most effective when he occupies the centre-forward role.

Rooney has four Premier League goals for United already this season, putting him level with Jermain Defoe at the top of the scoring charts. He has scored against Birmingham and Arsenal, and netted a double at Wigan in United's 5-0 win.

United are keen for Rooney to play a more central role than in previous seasons, with Ferguson believing he can provide the goals to soften the blow of Cristiano Ronaldo's summer exit.

The former Everton striker has welcomed the opportunity, but Ferguson understands the 23-year-old is prone to roaming.

Ferguson told Inside United magazine: "The boy's got a real hunger and drive about him. He has so much energy that sometimes he overdoes it in the sense that he wants to use it all; he'll drop into midfield or he'll go outside left.

"But he's young, and young players tend to sometimes be that way - they want to spend all their energy on the pitch.

"But if he concentrates like he did at Wigan and spends more time in the central areas rather than the wide positions then he will get goals. There's no doubt about that."

Rooney has been a regular scorer since joining United in 2004, however Ferguson suspects Sir Bobby Charlton's club goals record of 249 will be difficult to beat.

"It'll be very tough," Ferguson said. "Sir Bobby's record is 249 goals, so at this stage of Wayne's career I'd say he'll have to do very well to get anywhere near that."
