According to "The Sun" Rooney wants to go to Old Trafford, but we will see later today if anything will happen, by noon I think.

Edit: Tomorrow is the deadline, not noon today

bobby robson sacked


i am surprised he has lasted this long

[bopdude]

Just heard on the radio that Sir Bobby has been sacked by newcastle bosses, shamefull i think after all he's done there

[Kneebs]

There's nothing like a bit of good news to cheer me up of a monring !!

I thought he'd done an excellent job so far this season - although, he coulda done a bit better and had them bottom

Bring back Gullitt, thats all I can say

Seems if anyone dares to drop mary poppins, they get the boot

I don't think Dyer helped with his recent outburst, I am sure if he had done that to Ferguson or Wenger, he would have been shown where the door was.

i think this was always on the cards when they said Robson would go at the end of the season.

What I can't understand is why when they already have a poor defence did they sell their best defender just before the transfer deadline with no one else lined up ?

I think Rooney won't go to Newcastle now as their is no manager to tell him how he will fit into the team etc

[Kneebs]

I don't think he would've signed for them anyway - I think Man U would've just upped the newcastle offer, and beat newcastles wage offer.

And like you say, the strikeforce isn't where they need to be strenghening, its the defence, so I cant understand why they're after him

[Russ]

Never a truer word spoken.....

0-0 with Everton at home and Arsenal beat them 4-1 away.

hope we get Rooney, least we'll play some exciting football again.

Robson is a manager who i hold in high regard so this is really sad, wish their was a way to e-mail him support

Wenger and Sir Alex are both highly respected and secure in their jobs. Wenger has made arsenal what it is today, new stadium, world class (and cheap!) team, broken records, a lovely team to watch so they are a lot more secure
