Wayne Rooney is a Stan Collymore in a world without Sheringhams, Fowlers, Wrights, Coles, Ferdinands and Shearers. Decent player, good enough to play international football but the fact he has played for England enough times to become all time scorer is testament to the fact there has been a massive lack of serious, long-term rivals for his place in the team. He is not an England great.

With a side clump of cress. Any time in the next 15 minutes...

I hope Koeman books the function room under the name 'The Real IRA'.

On Thursday's showing I sincerely hope RK decided against this.

Just dreadful. Words fail me. Not even an attempt at penetrating this side by keeping the ball on the deck. Just attempt after attempt after attempt after attempt at pumping the ball long.

Jacob Mellis? Players for Bury (The Shakers) now.

Mayuka's contract has been terminated already apparently. He has been training with the kids and under 21s recently in order to stay fit.

Do you not think Everton would have received bids from the likes of Baines, Coleman and Barkley over the past couple of seasons?

Not sure what Ted DiBiase and Irwin R Schyster would make of it. I suppose everybody's got a price...

Yeah it was Rhino and his mate. Good lads.

Get used to it mate. The club have accepted there place in the scheme of things. About time you did too.

One of them is my nephew so I'd say him! Monk and GITR are probably best placed to offer an opinion, think they watch a bit more often than I do though.

He was a very early developer. Remember him being the biggest and quickest lad in the team a few years ago. Interesting to see how he does now others are catching up with him.

Conor's been there ages too.

BT Sport it is on? Pleased I am.

Anyone see anything of the 21s game against Brighton last night? Was behind closed doors but anyone get to see it?

Has anyone mentioned Andrew Davies? Was brilliant for us, think Stoke then signed him and he went on to do nothing.

Erik Nevland is the man to bring us the goals.

How did the lad playing at centre back alongside Will Wood play when he came on?

If it's for squad depth like Martina, I am all for it.

They aren't bad signings to be fair...

Was a nice bloke and well thought of by the club and players. Be interesting to see how things progress.

If Spurs nip in ahead of us to sign Toby then frankly it is a shambles and some serious questions need to be asked over our transfer committees ability to get signings of truly coveted players over the line.

What worries me is Vurnon Anita came with a similar reputation from Ajax to Newcastle. Dutch international, small, but with bags of talent on the ball. Only good game I've seen him have for Newcastle was the last game of the season against West Ham.
