    I dont care when he costs the RS the title. But I do care when his mistake booted England out of the World Cup. I hope this remains in his conscience.

    This England team had the most RS players for a very long time and also the crappiest for a long time too. This is no coincidence...<ok>

    But shouldn't world class Rooney take responsibility for not carrying his team to the final single handedly?

    I wouldnt say he cost England the WC <laugh>

    Maybe cost England the Uruguay game.
    But there were two other group games that England f**ked up without Slippy G's direct involvement.

    Cost England the WC <laugh> like they were going to win it anyway <laugh>

    Stevie G had two decent games in 100 caps: Andorra, 07 and Germs, 11.

    Think of the stinkers: France 04, Portugal 06, Germany 10, Italy 12, Uruguay 14 etc

    He did, and he was a top player back then (maybe not a top, top player <whistle>)........kidding.
    But he seems to have lost that youthful glint he had in his eye, that passion.
    Now he seems old beyond his years and a tad...dare I say....bitter.

    It is a small shame to see him go without a Premier League winners medal, but there are many great players who have played in the PL who never got one, Zola, Ginola, Klinsmann, Dennis Wise <whistle>,
