I've said this many times, this season Neil Ashton seems pretty clued up. Especially when it's come to Rooney news.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Yep. Like the time they reported Wayne Rooney was drinking and got absolutely pissed on a night off.....
Oh, wait....
But behaving well or not, you surely shouldn't be on a night out regardless? Unless my threshold to what constitutes as a nightout is rather low.
It's just astonishing that after managing to find his way back into the starting 11 for Utd and England, he goes and gets absolutely steaming drunk and photographed. You'd think being dropped by Utd and England and finally getting called out for his shitty performances he'd have got his head down and really started working his socks off.
What an utter fecking moron.
What an utter fecking moron.
It's past time we move him on from the club now.
As mentioned by a poster, it will allow some to come from his shadow and become the leader we are missing this season.

We've been spend most our time living in a past time paradise.
I do like how some people will defend him regardless of what happens but miss the point entirely (normally defending him by deflecting it by comparing him to others). The biggest problem is hes been treated as the biggest start for England and United despite not being that for years now and its been detrimental to progressing.
For me he epitomises everything wrong weve seen post Fergie. No, its not just him, but hes a huge problem.
And yes, I respect him for what hes done for the club, but it really is time to move on. I honestly believe Joses season will be determined by how much he does (or doesnt) use him and / or protect him rather than treating him like any other player.

England need to take this chance to drop him from captain.
That way he doesn't have to keep starting even if his form is crap. He clearly feels too safe at the moment, untouchable as captain for both club and country. Only when he is really tested and pressured have we seen the real Rooney come out for a few games.

I said in another thread that more than 10 starts for Rooney and we won't make top 4.
Our only PL win in the last 50 odd days came when Rooney started
But, but....it was Swansea...Our only PL win in the last 50 odd days came when Rooney started
Starting against giants like Burnley and Stoke is a bit above his difficulty level I guess. Either way, that remark made no sense because we've been struggling to win even without Rooney. We've started Burnley, Stoke, Leicester, Liverpool and Chelsea without him and have 1 win there.
This is a bit like when Brophs argued with himself.
I used to work on the railway.
My employers used to perform random drug/alcohol tests on staff and if tested positive...instant dismissal. No if's no but's. you're fired!!!
If he plays badly, Jose will effectively be throwing Rooney to the wolves. Perhaps Jose may use this to put the final nails in the coffin of Rooney's MUFC career.
It'll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.
I doubt it mate.
Every sport where performance can be measured against a constant (eg, distance, time, height, weight measurement, etc), shows that sports people are getting faster/stronger and more skillful, with the progression of time.
If you check over the last 5 years, several world records have been broken on track and field athletics. For example, the Mens 100M world record currently stands at 9.58s. In 1995, the world record stood at 9.85s.
Whenever you put an athlete of 2016, against an athlete of the same sport and same ranking, as 2-3 decades ago, the modern athlete will almost always win.
The only time people say, "the team/sportsman of yesteryear is better than the modern equivalent", is when there is no constant measurement. But the moment you have a constant measurement (which can be used to accurately compare the 2 athletes), the modern athlete will almost always win.
I don't care about England. I want him stripped of the MUFC captaincy, so there is less pressure to play him in games.
The problem is that our standards have fallen so low that even players with drinking problems get into our starting XI.
I think Jose has already made his mind up in regards to Rooney. It's just the case of handl
If you had internet in the days of George Best...
What's your point?
Best was a far better footballer than Rooney but left United when he was 28. Rooney should have done the same 3 years ago.
I still have.
Dropped from team.
Even without Zlatan starting.

He's been under relentless pressure for the last two years and still struggled.
Man Utd 1:1 Arsenal
Doesnt alter the fact that he's so past it Bobby Charlton would be more of an asset/less of a hindrance.Our only PL win in the last 50 odd days came when Rooney started
Anyone else aghast at that free kick near the end, when he bobbled the ball behind Herrera, while our players were all waiting in the box?
Fully expecting a press release apologising for the uneven terrain laid down at Old Trafford.
Woeful again. The free kick summed him up in one instance. Cant bear to see this clown play for us
A 5.5 imo.
Thought he was very good when he came on today. Held it up and brought others into play. Looked sharp.
Nothing wrong with him today, did very well.
Thought he was decent and lively. He should have started over Martial or Rashford.
Wasn't his worst performance this season by a long shot. Showed some nice touches and passes. Not sure that's good enough for it to be a good idea to use him as an impact sub, but it's an improvement over his recent form which a good sign.
Probably a 5 or 6 out of 10 for him.

Thought he did pretty well. Looks sharp in the past 2 games
That was ridiculous.Anyone else aghast at that free kick near the end, when he bobbled the ball behind Herrera, while our players were all waiting in the box?
He seems to be well motivated lately.
He didn't do anything wrong, but he carries almost no threat as a striker.
