Now, assuming he goes to Man U, where does this leave Van Nistelrooy? Smith is currently firing on all cylinders . . .

Tis a bit isn't it? Rooney will be a Man Utd player by this time next week. I certainly wouldn't choose Newcastle at the moment.

Still, Rooney and Smith up front should make the 18yard box on corners look like a Friday night out in Romford.

It's not what the "insiders" are saying, though, is it. Both BBC and Sky Sports are saying that he would prefer Newcastle for some strange, unfathomable reason

van Nistelrooy and Saha will be really happy with being on the bench when they're fit, too.

Same problem as us really, who the hell would they leave on the bench? I think we might offer Bellamy as part ex, seeing as he's been shouting his mouth off about how he wouldn't sit on the bench and would have to consider his position if Rooney signed. That would solve his problem!

The only possible thing I can think of there is if he was a big Shearer fan, and wants to play with him/under him if Shearer becomes manager. Shearer being manager is a scary prospect, though.

Oh come on. Who would you rather work for? Bobby 'Cuddly' Robson or Alex 'Mad-bastard-indesipherable-scotsman-tosser' Ferguson?

Ah, but neither of them will be in charge at the end of the season....

Well, owld Bobby's dropped Shearer today. A brave move, which I didn't think he would ever do, but it needed to be done. Shearer just hasn't played this season so far. Let's see what Kluivert can do given a start.

I can't believe Man U stole a point deep into injury time at Blackburn! The goal was a shocking handball!

Handball? I didn't see a handball.....

Phew......... I didn't realise that Blackburn had a bloody octopus in goal!

Awww, nooooo! Bloody typical, that's how they always squirm out of defeats, with flukey goals 6 minutes into injury time. I thought the game had finished and they'd lost.

It wasn't flukey - Louis Saha very carefully directed the ball to Alan Smith who did the job....

I hate this time. I get really tense - before kick-off.

Bastard football.

I love it.

Same here. I'm off to watch today's live game (Spurs vs Birmingham, urgh!), and I have to let Junior Moz on the computer for a bit. Little bugger.

I got Dora The Explorer's Backpack Adventure for SB Jr, last week. He quickly finished levels 1, 2 and 3 with no trouble whatsoever.

I think Zelda: A Link To The Past on GBA has raised his all-round skill-level a bit.

Kicked off.

Oh God, oh God...
