Rooney could play again

The newly cronwed PFA player of the season hopes to have a chance of appearing in the final game of the season against Stike at home. I was surprised United managed to get 4 players onto the PFA's team of the season. There is no question about Evra, he should have been a cert, especially with Cole out for so may months. Flecther started the season superbly but has tailed off in the final couple of months, still who has been better i suppose. Valencia has had a good start to his United carrer, but has had his peaks and troughs. Rooney obviously walks into it. I wonder when they will sop picking a 4-4-2 as there aren't many teams that actually play that formation week in week out anymore.

He even thinks he may be able to return for the Sunderland game on Sunday. I think we can be fairly certain that if the rent boys win at Anfailed we will have seen the last of Rooney for this season.

But then goes on to try to link red knight O'Neill with fellow Goldman Sachs employee Fabrice Toure. I'm not sticking up for Goldman Sachs, but isn't O'Neill's expertise as a foreign exchange economist. That's not exactly going to make him a fellow great vampire squid.

Well it seems that the rumours of Hull City's financial plight were true.

Will Clegg's genes come in handy as we near the last week of the campaign as Ben Macintyre writes about his his great aunt Moura Budberg. She sounds like she stepped straight out of the pages of a Sidney Reilly biography.

The New statesman's editorial calls for Li-Lab coalition, but maybe it's too late for that, is Clegg's ambition to destroy the Labour party as the home of progresive politics in Britain.

I suppose that would be the ultimate irony for new labour, if they end up destroying the party that they were supposed to have saved from the clutches of old labour.
