Rooney back on Sunday????

According to the Beeb ticker he might be, back in training.

Rio too.

Not bothered.

Berbs played well enough last week for me to be comfortable with him starting. Few more games like last Saturday, effort and application wise, and things might just start going his way.

Actually it'd be nice if we played both.

Makes no difference anyway. A load of self pitying socusers in wheelchairs won't pull off anything for us

probably be on the bench. Good news.

Maybe not but you never know. I know it's the epitome of cool here to be totally defeatist but i'm not giving up.

WAYNE ROONEY is fit and raring to go for Manchester United at Sunderland on Sunday.

The 34-goal striker has shrugged off a groin strain and returns to training today.
United boss Alex Ferguson had feared Rooney's season was over after he suffered the injury eight days ago.
But the 24-year-old has once again defied medical opinion to declare himself fit and give United a massive boost in the Premier League title race.
Ferguson said: "We expect Wayne to join us in training and possibly Rio Ferdinand as well.
"We will see how they do but we have a couple of days.
"Wayne missed last week's game against Tottenham to allow the ankle to settle.
"We don't have any issues with that now. Hopefully he is OK."
Rooney has had a number of injury problems in the last two months.
He first started to suffer from an inflamed kneecap and then damaged tendons in his ankle in the Champions League quarter-final in Bayern Munich.
Despite being on crutches and having a foot cast he missed only one game and was back for the return tie with Bayern.
He aggravated the injury in that game but returned for the Manchester derby before picking up his latest groin problem during a training session.
Ferdinand, who has missed the last two games with a groin injury, is also expected to train today and believes he will be fit for the Sunderland game.

Nah. May as well let Rooney get properly right before the World Cup. It's bad enough he's got to go without him having the remnants of injuries played through.

The title is all but over, let's not risk him.

Suspect the result of the game before will dictate how he's used.

Hopefully he'll break his foot by dropping the PL trophy on it thus giving him the summer off.

Is the correct answer. Liverpool get a point and he starts.

No, but my faith in scousers is at an all time low.

I think we'll beat Sunderland without him anyway, so why risk it?

Yep. If the result goes our way, he'll be on the bench at least.

Same goes for Rio btw. Leave Evans and Vidic alone, let Rio concentrate on being fully fit for the World Cup, give him at least half a chance of being ready for next season.

Risk what, it's an away game we have to win no matter what so I want us to play our best plkayers.

He won't get the chance as he'll be £#%&!ing off in the summer, thankfully.

Yep.

We don't want them going to the WC injured, and they will go, injured or not. If they are injured when they get there, England will play them and rsh them back making it worse, putting next season in jeopardy.

Best chance of them coming back fit, is if they go fit, and even then I won't hold my breath.

I wouldn't risk either against Sunderland, if we can't beat them without Rio and Rooney, we don't deserve the league anyway.
