It all helps. Makes me feel a little more at home. Well it might have done if it wasn't a pool blood. ;p

The forum is clearly missing redness. I'm counteracting the clear atrocity.

It's almost as if he has no control over his actions. He thinks it, and then carries it out. He's somebody I'd stay well clear of. We're all guilty of thinking some pretty crazy things at times, but we just don't carry it out. That is the difference between the special ward and a nice warm homely bed.

Thank god. I was starting to think I may be some sort of barbarian.

I'm simply laughing at his toddler mentality. Or his prehistoric sense of a need for meat at an actually insanely random time.

I meant the situation. I was laughing at Suarez acting the clown again. Obviously I was not laughing at the actual attack. He was like fine, challenging for the ball, then suddenly he eyes up Ivanovic's arm, and lunges for a bite... how is that situation not hilarious? Who does that? It's comedy gold. It's a hard one to explain. I'm not laughing at Ivanovic being bitten though, that should be clear.

I just hope he stays in the league.That biting incident was absolutely hilarious. It was better than the game. Obviously I don't condone this conduct, but you have to laugh. He then went on to score the equalizer - you couldn't write it. Also when he ran over and simulated a dive near Moyes after scoring. I laughed for so long. Not to mention he's such an exciting player to watch. Not sure what affect it would have on Arsenal though. They always find a way to screw up.

The biggest hint for me was what SAF said. He knew it wasn't an official transfer request yet he made it known what Rooney had been up to. He knew after that it would be hard for Rooney to recover with the fans. Half of us still hadn't forgiven him for the first time. Then add this, and you have a bad situation. However it isn't a given, since Moyes is now the man to make the decision. I think if SAF had been carrying on he was a goner for sure. Moyes looks like he wants to give him a chance though and that is the most likely for me at the minute simply because of how quiet the Rooney camp is. The manager change might act as a reset for him, but a lot of us won't forget.

It all stemmed from the Real game and his over-bearing self-worth. He assumes he should start every game 'cause his name is Wayne Rooney. If memory serves I think he was going through a tough patch and Fergie simply weighed things up and decided we couldn't afford to give Real the ball needlessly - a Rooney trait. He went for Nani and got the call totally correct. Nani had Madrid worried every time he got the ball. In the end he was the difference. If that incident with the referee didn't happen we would of probably put them out. Why couldn't he accept that? He could of played the next games possibly. Real under Jose were far too devastating on the counter to play both Nani and Rooney. Playing our most explosive player over Rooney was a stroke of genius if it had of played out fairly. There is no 'me' in team. End of the day he's went to see SAF frustrated and said something he didn't mean. I mean look at all the players who have left United. Even Ronaldo hasn't achieved the same level of success. I don't think even Rooney is stupid enough to overlook this. It looks like he's trying to let it all blow over by staying extremely quiet.

Rooney is collecting his rattles and hoping our fans don't boo him off the park next season. This isn't wishful thinking. Rooney lost all of my support in 2010.

It really isn't. If Rooney makes an official transfer request and makes it clear there is no way of a turn-around he will be sold if the right offer comes in. It's completely stupid to keep a player that has no want to be there, not to mention the money we could bring in. If we wait one more year, the price drops, probably quite dramatically. We're a Football Club firstly, but we operate as a business, and keeping him would make no sense from that stand point. The whole 'we want to keep him' is simply a stance made for maximum leverage no matter what the clubs decision is. Nobody even knows if we really want to keep him. There was a meeting quite a while ago, I wonder if it was decided there and then to sell. It's a simple decision if it comes to it.

Best vacate before I get lynched for off-topic comments.

These aren't my opinions. You haven't heard them. I'm very fair when I talk about players, and Mikel is the only highly used midfielder at Chelsea I don't rate. I'm actually probably a bigger fan of Mata than you! ;p Tom Cleverley is more like a locationally challenged Pirlo (without the passing) - He's a squad player at the minute, no more. As for the face... We will all have to wait and see, as he's too dumb to be a midfielder, so needs to wait to try and claim one of the spots at centre-half.

He's an over-hyped Mr Motivator. He's got no god given ability. He's advanced basically nothing after 6 years or something? On a serious note, I'm going to watch him with hawk-eye next game.

Fair enough, but there was some relevance in talking about him. I don't see the harm unless it goes wildly off-topic.

I was pretty sure I hadn't made all of it up. One of Jose's bad eggs. Omelette was still pretty decent though.

I did say: "I'm probably being harsh" with the comment. Maybe he's so boring I subconsciously remove all knowledge and replace it with my own shit. You don't even seem to know his strengths either.

They must be good friends. Don't rate De Rossi personally. He'd certainly be an upgrade on Mikel though. I'm actually genuinely confused as to what his strengths are. I've watched him a lot, and I can't see any... except maybe giving the ball away. Nah, I'm probably being harsh, but he has to be one of the worst players I've seen. Makelele he isn't. Totti though - legend. Dying breed.

Simply a freak season, where everything went right for him. In that season, if I remember rightly he wasn't even playing as a (9) anyway. He just scored a lot. That is also the role of a (10) anyways. The extra goals came from the fact that he played with Berbatov a lot who also likes to drop deep. I really don't think Rooney was ever asked to play the furthest up the field. And yeah, he was far from bad last season. It's his general play that is getting worse. He seems in decline to me; peaked early. Also, having better attacking players around him still won't do anything for individual play. He's lost that edge he used to have. That doesn't make him a bad player, it just makes him more transparent, and easier to defend. Jose knows more than me though. So who knows. I really don't know how you'd re-motivate somebody who's won everything there is to win in the same league.

Mata and money for Rooney was absurd to be honest. The journalist was an utter moron. Jose would never sanction such stupidity. The story was dead before I read it. They really should assign somebody who at least understands football to write their tripe. Also, Rooney won't be able to get his ego in check - that is the problem. He knows he isn't the best player at the club anymore. And Cesc would be signed regardless if the opportunity arose.

You've always got a small chance with Roman. Offer us £40 million. That'll do it. I honestly think it would. Ten million more than we paid and close to ten years of service. It would be excellent business. Don't think anybody would pay it though, and Moyes seems keen to keep him for some reason. So in summation you're probably right. I mean I'm not going to pretend the team wouldn't miss him in some way, 'cause I'd be lying. However, Kagawa and Hernandez would be able to play instead, depending on needs/team tactics. The problem is Shinji is a better (10) and RvP is a better striker. In my opinion anyway. I think Rooney might have twigged... As for Cesc - that's another Sneijder in the making. Barca aren't stupid, they know Xavi's legs are going. They'll need Fabregas soon enough.

Rooney's actually quite terrible when pressured these days; passing and ball control has been average all season. He definitely requires plenty of space. I can't remember the last time I saw him beat a player... He's also added this 'Hollywood' ball to his game, where he tries to play a pass he's simply not capable of. He's been frustrating to watch, to be honest. Rooney will want at least assurance of a starting role if he would join though, or he's swapping one problem for another. I'm pretty sure you would find it hard to play both Rooney and Mata. I mean, they're both so similar in what they attempt to do. I've watched Rooney for a long time, and I personally don't see him as a striker. He's a shadow/support striker who drifts and tries to create. If you take his activity away (being involved in play) he becomes sloppy and goes to sleep. Anyway Mata is superior. I don't know why Jose would want Rooney. Maybe four years ago.... Perhaps Jose sees what I do. I think he desperately needs a new challenge. I'm not sure how Chelsea would offer that though. I'd be happy to sell though if we got a £35-£40 million offer.
