I would like to sii that
Seeing as it's John Cross reporting it the story is likely bollocks but still wouldn't past Chesney to do something stupid like that. Don't think he should be dropped though I'm really not sure on Ospina, Hull didn't test him that much but on the set pieces he didn't exactly look comfortable.

Fire Hazard.
Szczesny is not comfortable either.
Direct as fuck winger. James McClean without the fucking idiocy.
Fairly sure he broke his leg recently, though.

I think most managers would consider dropping their first choice after a display like Szczesny's. I doubt Ospina would be worse at all, if he can't get a game after a shambles like that then he never will.
Nobody would be.
:lol indeed

Laboured, look into your crystal ball. Are Arsenal going to get Martinez?

Fair fucks if we can sell beef to Americans at a high price on the basis of it being "Irish Beef". #EdnaKenny2016
We have quality beef here though m7. Get some grass fed local steak. If you must import, import some Kerrygold to butter baste it

At the rate both managers are going, it wouldn't be a terrible bet.
Against West Ham he looked really good, problem he has is consistency.
He was Rafa's chief scout when at Liverpool... (FWIW I think about half of Rafa's transfer windows were successful - ignoring the amount of wheeler-dealing he did - things started going badly when we had big bucks to spend, though our owners and executives in those times didn't help)

Rooney should play up front.
He's been our best striker this season.

Please leave and never come back.
Consulting Wiki tells me he joined in '06, which means he wasn't responsible for Alonso, Garcia, or GOAT-tier Reina. That guy was Paco Herrara, who left in '06 (credit to Rafa too ofc)
It doesnt matter viva he's a cunt

She's not as cute as some of the USWNT players but not bad. Sarah Wiltshire, Welsh international.

But he's been the best NOT playing up front. Think about it. Most of his goals have been from or started as plays from outside the box.

Not sure I agree.
Rooney is a goalscorer, he'll score goals wherever he plays in an attacking line.
But his best performances have been when played as a CF IMO. And it's better for the team also.
7/10
Yeah he has.
RVP and Falcao are on and off. Falcao has done okay when starting. RVP had that little run in the big games and he usually does well in the important matches so he'll be hard to drop.
Against Southampton, I'd go with:-
---------------- De Goat ----------------
Jones - Smalling - Evans - Shaw/Blackett
----------------- Carrick -----------------
----- Rooney ---------------- Di Maria ------
------------------ Mata ------------------
--------------- RVP - Falcao ----------
Or drop one of the strikers for Herrera and push Rooney up front.
Better. For sure.
I'm rating it 7/10. However, I was enthusiastic immediately after seeing it. I did a search to see did I post about it and instead fond this very painful post.
*this season
It's a completely forgettable experience.
I might watch Jerry Springer - The Opera
definitely this
