a) F*ck... world cup, We'r screwed (this one is probably exclusive to English people only and even then its a push)

:D Get in, thats a massive advantage for saturday

I think I thought both simultaneously and then thought

c) We should be good enough to beat united with or with out rooney,

Do me a favour - I am not looking beyond Saturday!!!

First reaction: "Bahaha, this is too perfect! You'd better not be fit for our game, you thuggish Scouse twat."

Second reaction: "Lol - Capello! Shove it up your arse you judgemental, fancily-coiffed prick. Enjoy getting knocked out by Ecuador in the second round."

I never wanna revel in an injury, but it could be gigantic. But it didnt sound like something major, so if he isnt fit for saturday, I am sure he will be for June

I bet we wont know if he will play or not until gametime. You can be sure Ferguson will keep people guessing, as he loves these psycological gambits

I obviously thought "F***... world cup" straight away .. but then i saw the foul and realised he just turned his ankle so i doubt it'll be more then a few weeks...which is an advantage for this weekend (especially) and the coming weeks as well.

First reaction was: f**king get in, rooney is injured! while getting excited.

I know its wrong to hope for people to get injured, but this just means a lot for us if he misses the game, and a few games after that. could end up doing us a massive favour.

I honestly thought "oh sh*t, that's us out early in the World Cup"

From a Chelsea angle, I know what the Mancs will say, especially the southern sort (you know, those that live south and never been to Trafford, glory hunting f**ktards) should we get to win the title, "You only won it cause we were without Rooney during crunch time"

We should look to beat them, with or without Wayno!

First thought was brilliant lets hope it's serious. Then my brother mentioned the world cup and my reaction was. I don't care about the world cup until after we've won the league!

world cup for me...but obviously it will give our chances a boost on saturday, not to mention the fact they lost last night and will have one eye on the second leg

1st thought: GET IN! That twat is out for Saturday...yes

2nd thought: Yes....one more boost for USA vs. England

First thought was actually saturday. But at the same time I have a really bad thought that he is going to be fit for it.

Well. It's not really cool to hope that key players of the opposition team get injured, or in Gerrard's case, just die.

But, Rooney's injury does give us an advantage. More so. A psychological one. It's a huge body blow for United. And it will also add to our confidence for the upcoming fixture.

Anyhow, a good win for Bayern. And I hope Man Utd are ousted! ;)

f**k yes

But he'll somehow be playing vs us, even if SAF knows it would ruin his WC fitness he will play Rooney

Only reaction was for saturday.

Northern Ireland arent in the world cup, so it doesnt apply to me ;)

Drogba has played 5 games less than him this season, so it could even up the apperances more fairly for the golden boot.. if he is out for a bit.

sir alex has said he doesn't think it's too serious but will know more tomorrow...ideal scenario, he's just out for a few weeks, long enough to stuff up utd in europe and in the league, but short enough so he's fully fit for england

It doesn't look that bad. He'll probably be back for the weekend.

reports are saying he will def miss saturday match and most likely even the 2nd leg with BM..........tho how much of this is a spin i dunno, wouldnt put it past fergie!

YES!

That's all....

If Australia finishes second in their group and England first, we get you in second round. Without Rooney.,..we could take you hahahahaha

But seriously...he'll be fit in a week or so. I expect him on the bench against us on Saturday

The ideal scenario is he is out for atleast 3 weeks and then we'd see the ability of the others in the United Squad. I am pretty sure he is ruled out for the game at the weekend, anything beyond that is a bonus.

Do you honestly believe Fergie would come out and share the details with the media ahead of such a big game?

My feelings exactly !

If Rooney isn't on that plane to South Africa it wouldn't be worth any of the other England players going either. He is our world cup chances.

Fecking great news if he's out this weekend though.

PS: I fully expect Rooney to be targetted for rough treatment in South Africa. Opposition defenders will try to kick him to bits.

Rooney might be out, lets just hope Own Goal picks up a knock in the warm-up to the game on Saturday.

i did think saturday , good for us, thats football we,ve had our own problems with injuries the scales have tipped in our favour, only thing is we have to maybe look at their team diffrently now which may mean we have to shuffle our own tactily
