FT 1-0 - NO WAY for NORWAY as ROONEY BLASTS ENGLAND TO VICTORY!

Skipper takes matters into his own hands and drives England to a narrowly deserved win after hot and cold performance.

Wayne Rooney shows the way, Hodgson's skipper comes up trumps in tough night for England.

Rooney shines but where was Ozil? German booed by massive crowd as Wayne steals the show.

The magic of Rooney steers England into crucial qualifier on winning note.

That's the Wayne to do it! Super skipper shows Hodgon's boys the way.

Rooney, Messi, Ronaldo - who's the best?

Wrighty rightly slating our Wayne - LOL

[Niall_Quinn]

If they drop Rooney then put Sterling central and play any of Sturridge, Ox, Welbeck, Walcott around him then that would be worth watching. Get a few passers in the middle and kill the opposition with pace.

But Rooney is the captain now. Good thinking.

And here's the real thing:

LIVE: England 1-0 Norway - Captain Rooney fires home penalty for Roy's boys in first match since World Cup disappointment.

Here's the fat turd Martin Samuel's take:

"Captain Rooney saves the day from the spot but England lack fresh ideas in Norway win"

This is why England will never win anything, because an ignorant media decides who's undroppable and the manager can expect to get slaughtered if he doesn't go along with it. Gerrard and Rooney should have been out years ago but they media have kept them in place with their captain marvel bullshit. Maureen would be a good England manager because he'd tell them to fuck off and if any of them caught cancer he'd gouge their eyes out. The England team's aim should be to entertain paying fans, not pander to jolly seeking (so-called) journalists.

Mokbel's ratings:

England: Hart 6, Stones 6.5 (Chambers 81), Jones 6.5, Cahill 6.5 (Jagielka 84), Baines 6, Oxlade-Chamberlain 6 (Delph 69, 6), Henderson 6, Wilshere 6.5 (Milner 69, 6), Sterling 7.5, Rooney 6.5 (Welbeck 70, 6), Sturridge 6.5 (Lambert 89).

You see? Rooney was better than Ox and as good as Sturridge. Good job we have these journos or all we'd be left with is the evidence of our own lying eyes.

I think those are pretty sound ratings apart from the Rooney one. Put Rooney down to a 5 and I think that's fair. Being picky I'd probably bump Henderson up to a 6.5 and Cahill down to 6.

Welbeck was imposing when he came on.

His change of pace is exciting.

Gonna be a big big player for us.
