United can cope without Wayne Rooney, says Edwin van der Sar

Well if they can’t its a poor team!

No one man is a football team its a combined effort or should be. Should moral be down just because the main scorer is crocked..lmaooooo

I wonder how the team feels when its always all about Rooney? So he has a lucky kick so what? I have green fingers lol but no one shouts about me being great in the garden every week, and further more I would’nt want that.

Pick yourselves up, dust yourselves down and do what you are ALL paid to do…score goals, defend. or whateva.

Get well soon Mr Rooney!

Jon Veables, child killer in Custody

Hello,

You can hear why Home Secretary Alan Johnson could not give details of why Venables was back in custody at BBC web site.

We have all been there were we had to take the children to the shops, we also know what its like to have a child bored with that shopping expedition. I hope and pray none of us know how it feels to lose that child. To go through every emotion possible, then that terrible sick feeling which is like no other when the policeman who’s job it is reports to you your child is dead, not just dead but beaten to death at 2 years old. It must have been aewful when the two killers were set free with cash, a new I.D and a new home far away from anyone who ever knew them.

Hindu wins Northumberland funeral pyre battle

Pyers in the UK, whatever next?

I am now convinced we will allow anything and everything. We allow the Muslims segragation through the veil and now the Hindus are wanting what they would have in their ciountry of origin. I really do beg the question along with many more people. “If the people who come here want to carry out Islam law/ Hindu law why do they not stay in their own countries”? When we are creamated its behind the curtain in church done in a proper manner and no one is put at risk..that is creamation…he should be in there.

And Hindus like their burial Pyre near water then they can throw their bones etc in the ‘magic pond’, we have have no magic ponds or rivers, or canals.

Thank &^%$ I don’t live in Newcastle.

John Terry stripped of England captaincy by Capello

So,

What the *^%$@ has what a player does OFF PITCH to do with anything ON PITCH…nothing. Certainly John Terry’s ‘activities’ has not compromised the game in any way. Is he the first to dabble with a mate’s g/f..not at all…he will not be the last either.

Its because he is in the limelight is all. Capello needs to engage brain. What will be achieved by losing John Terry his captaincy, a compromised game because John is a born leader in footie.
