    They will miss his childlike graceful features around the dressing room. Sad day indeed, still there will be hundreds more overrated hyped up millionaire journeymen around to piss on our chips next tournament!

    So Rooney is the only resident gargoyle now...

    That's good of him.

    Really pisses me off when players do that. It's the manager who decides when you don't get picked.

    Must admit I thought he retired 5 years ago.

    Who the hell does he think he is?

    Sounds like Big Sam is using up his free minutes on the mobile then.

    James Milner 61 caps 1 goal.

    Wayne Rooney 115 caps 53 goals.

    I know Rooney isn't everybodies cup of tea, but let's have a little bit or perspective here.

    Joe Hart 63 caps 0 goals

    I haven't got any issue with Rooney and his record is fantastic, but comparing Milner's goal scoring record with Rooney isn't a great argument for me - totally different players and Milner has never been picked for his goals (at times I've wondered what he was picked for though).

    The fact it is 'breaking news' on BBC was funny.

    The only extra viewing I will be looking at for this non event is the boring James milner twitter page.

    Hart plays in goal.

    Get what you're saying though.

    Milner never really had a proper position - it was his versatility that got him so many caps. He's a steady Eddie, that didn't really offer too much.

    He seems quite happy to have more time for his stamp collecting.

    61 caps? FFS, no wonder we haven't won anything lately.
