For what reason would he need to lie!
Cover up that he's past it. Evidently, this would be more plausible if he hadn't scored 2 in 2 for Everton

Say it isn't so Wayne. Sad day, plenty of happy memories of him in an England shirt although sadly he's not performed at the final tournaments having burned himself out through the season with United.
The one in the opening post of the thread...

No pun intended.
It was always 'the elephant in the (changing) room'
As his pace and place in the England team was always up for debate, he has made the decision that nobody really wanted to make or tell him.
Great ambassador for English football in the vein of scoring goals, but not always the media darling, for things he's done off the pitch.

Totally committed and passionate player. Wore his heart on his sleeve.
As usual, people tried to knock him down, but I always had respect for him.
Time for someone else to carry a failing team on their shoulders. Imagine just how great Rooney would have been in a strong team.

Wait for it:-
"I got that wrong, my mistake I'm sorry for doubting other posters"
is just being written right now.

Great, he'll probably start banging them in for fun now.
Anything to get a few days away from the wife
BG has always been pretty consistent.
It seems like 'sorry' really is the hardest word to say.

To be fair, if I was married to her I'd be boshing it relentlessly.
it really is a wonderful talent
Obviously you two are silly young kids who know nothing. Meanwhile the all knowing BG laughs at your ignorance.

To be fair on current form (OK, only two games of the season gone...) he would be an absolute shoe-in. He looks rejuvinated and is now playing with more freedom than he has in years at Utd. Watching the game the other day vs City, he looked so composed. I only noticed one time he gave the ball away in the whole entire game and looked a threat throughout running the game from deeper.
Having said that, he knows he isn't the 'future' of the England national team. I think he's made a good call to retire and give the younger generation a crack at it in preparation for Russia. The more experience and game time the younger generation can get the better, and him being in the squad would prevent one of these younger players from gaining such valuable experience.

I quite like the way BG sticks to his guns. Even in the Matt Derbyshire and Ashley Cole and left back threads. He does come up with some nonsense but he has a theory behind his thinking and he sticks to it. It's like Casey Jones trying to stop his runaway train, trying to halt BG.
Nope. No. That article has been written to save embarrassing Wayne. Southgate dropped Rooney and said he'd never play for England again, but Southgate agreed it would be best to put a happy slant on it for all concerned.Oh FFS
Read the article
"It was great Gareth Southgate called me this week to tell me he wanted me back in the England squad for the upcoming matches. I really appreciated that.
However, having already thought long and hard, I told Gareth that I had now decided to retire for good from international football."
I don't know the full details, but I know it's impossible that BG was wrong.
PS - Don't sweat it BG, it's really no biggie.

It would appear through not reading the BBC article I have got this wrong but I do believe that it is highly feasible that GS told him wanted him to be involved but wouldnt be picked to play which then persuaded him to take the decision to retire. This means he keeps face as does GS from the press calling for him to be picked.

Chalk another one up to the press and to be fair I don't blame him. Why would you want the abuse that goes with playing for England?
