Talk of Rooney hiatus dismissed

If any of the above is true, being back at Goodison Park obviously hasn't exactly been the answer he was looking for

It will be interesting to see how this one plays out. Odd storyline to come out if there's no truth to it given he's always been portrayed as someone who lives and breaths football and always wants to play.

His play when "losing it" is still a hundred times better than the rest of the wasters who are having no issues, personal or other.

As Liam mentions, players have enough time off to sort out any sort of self inflicted problems they may have. They can certainly afford to pay for any assistance they might need.

I expect, and hope for our sake given Gylfi's presence, he signs a contract within the year for some micky-mouse team in another continent.

Every week, I run out on two evenings along with various mates from all walks of life and we put our worries behind us and play this great game. Nothing else matters until afterwards.

If we can all manage this with our meagre resources and then I am sure that Wayne can also do so.

We could do with a bit of a siege mentality at Finch Farm at the moment. We need everyone to pull in the same direction. I have the distinct feeling that we are seeing signs of a power struggle behind the scenes that has been distracting for all concerned.

something is afoot!

Superb line. I was going to post that myself but I thought you'd tell me that was one of my shit comments!

Haha haha, nearly choked on my Cheerios there.

When at his best he more than most earns his place. I am amazed at how many arm chair psychologists support Everton. Direct your advice to those who are screwed up on the field – or on the sideline, in the manager's case.

He could do with a world class striker to pass forward to and to create some more space for him but apart from that he's been great for us.

Sort it out, Wayne, and stick it to Manchester United!!

I don't know about Rooney drinking and driving, more like Keoman driving Rooney to drink!!!

What is it with the timing of controversy in his personal life and his first return to his former club?

Remember the rousing Chorus "Yer fat and you allegedly have not been treating your lady quite right" - given to him and his acknowledgement of it? Just stood in the centre circle applauded the crowd, shrugged it off, and got on with the game.

I've got a feeling he'll do the same with the jibes from the Man Utd fans, but then again I'm expecting too much vocal creativity from the United fans.

The rest of the human race are working their socks off so don't have time to worry about personal problems before nightfall. So it is a negative having so much time.

Can't last 90 minutes! Let's take – Mirallas 37 of 104 of his games – has he been on the pitch for 90 minutes let alone lasting 90? Deulofeu: 29 games and 8 times he was on for the full 90 mins. But these fancy Dans are not expected to last 90 minutes because they just... well they just.

But a guy who everyone on here says is giving his all is also expected to give it for the whole 90 minutes and at the end appear so fresh he could play another game. We really do like to stick it in. Forgive him. He left for medals.

Ambulance driver to boss "Got caught shagging my neighbours daughter, the wife's not happy. Any chance of a month off to calm the waters?"

Boss to ambulance driver, "No problem son, you take a few weeks off. Just let me know when you'd like to come back so I can iron your uniform and make yer a nice cup of tea."

But, he still has something left, not a lot, but a class above the rest of the also- rans alongside him.

I believe there's enough left in the tank for him to leave the blues with a little of the magic, and the occasional trophy, that the ungrateful Man Utd fans took as their right for so many years.

It's unfortunate in many ways, that we live in this have/have not society, it has always existed, and still foes today, people overpaid for whatever, and then they use their celebrity status, as an excuse, for being victimised.

In all fairness to Wayne he hasn't come out and blamed anyone, for his misdemeanours.

The whole camp looks like it's ready to implode. Say what you want about this group of players but you can't question their football ability. They are not doing the yards for Koeman.

Something is 100 percent not right behind closed doors. We haven't played one decent full game this year. The manager's head will roll before Xmas. I just hope the next guy coming in has a chance to keep us up!

If someone can't be arsed to correctly write an article or report, or at least then to properly proof-read and correct it, then how are readers like me supposed to be arsed to read (and maybe comment on) it??? (Go on, giz a job.. I can do that!' Really.)

We've had a shite start to the season but Rooney has been a bright spot amid all the darkness. I can see him scoring against the Mancs and not celebrating.

And unfortunately the bad headlines drive out the good headlines. We need balance – just as we get on ToffeeWeb!

They aren't prepared, mentally or financially, for stardom and have one of the cushiest jobs on earth, ie, they train for a few hours, play once or twice a week, then go home and they don't know what to do with themselves.

They've got huge bank balances, loads of hangers-on who are only too happy to spend their money, and loads of gold-digging birds who would die to be seen with a professional footballer like the most recent Rooney slag who's having her 15 minutes of fame whilst trying to find some other dim witted fucker who will fall for her "charms".

If any player is in need of a Jiminy Cricket then I am available for a (high) six-figure number. I'll tell 'em to it straight!
