England .... Rooney?

Rooney should definitely be in the squad if fit but it would be disappointing to seem him start.

England aren't suddenly world beaters but it was such a refreshing change to see a young side play with such verve and style.

I hope I am wrong but I can forsee a starting line up in France including Rooney, Carrick, Wilshire, Walcott, Milner and all the usual suspects who have let us down time and time again.

Go with the youth.

I cannot possibly see how Wilshere can even be included in the squad as there is no way will he become match fit in the time left available.
I think it will be an error to leave out Rooney if fit but I hope he isn't included in the squad so he can get fit, too often we've taken players to tournaments to gain fitness during the competition and rarely has it worked.
A fabulous performance admittedly in a 'friendly' but is there such a thing between these two countries ?
Two incredible strikes on goal by our 'boys' too

It's a team game and Tottenham are just that. Do an Alf Ramsey and build it around their players. No more mercinaries and captain marvels. Give the job to Pochettino after the finals.

Context my boy, you need the rest of the post.

Nobody would survive injury free the way Wenger makes him play.

Tell you what, why don't you stand still and have McNair Kung Fu kick you sideways shattering your ankle and see how long it takes you to recover. If that makes you 'injury prone' then I'll concede the point.

You obviously don't watch him playing for Arsenal much then, or you would know that what I've said is correct, he's at least as good as Rooney was in his prime, but he has more to his game than hanging around the penalty area, taking penalties and trying to bully refs. My advice would be to find out if Wenger intends to stay after his contract ends next summer, if he does then Jack needs to leave to fulfil his potential.

There's also the issue of the training pitches at Colney, the surfaces are rock hard, great for perfecting fast passing, but ask any player who has trained there, in fact, Google what Rio had to say about it when England trained there. You come off of the pitches sore, knees feeling jarred and generally feeling bashed about.

It's not just Jack, Wenger has an awful record of keeping players fit.

Far from it, you've just demonstrated that you've no idea what's going on, and has been going on for Years now at Emirates. 

Tell you what, let's move this on past my 'gut feeling' and anecdotal evidence shall we?

From 2004~5 to the start of this season Arsenal have lost players to significant injury for a total of 13,165 days, compared to Chelsea 7,217.

Those figures will look even worse when this season's long term injuries to Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arteta, Monreal, Wilshire, Walcott, Ramsey, Cazorla, Cech, Bellerin, Rosicky, Koscielny, Flamini, Gibbs and Sanchez are all added up, I make it over 1600 days lost already this season. You call that players staying reasonably fit if you like, I call it bordering on a dereliction of responsibility by Wenger. 

Sat behind this is the reason that Arsenal win naff all, Wenger has a strong first team and a load of makeweights (anybody remember Callum Chambers, what a waste of £10 million that was) 

But this isn't about Arsenal failing to win things, it's about Wilshire, a player who ought to be gracing the Nou Camp but instead spends most of his time on the treatment table, and that will continue as long as the training facilities remain (don't take my word for that, ask Rio) and as long as he's used as a human punch bag by Wenger during matches.

I thought you might say that, so have added some detail to my previous reply for you.

The data comes from the clubs themselves.

I used Chelsea as they were 2nd amongst the traditional title challengers, but Newcastle actually had the 2nd worst record over that 10 year period behind Arsenal.

But regardless of any of that, the list of Arse players above who have had serious injuries this season speaks for itself. Find me another PL club (apart from maybe Bournemouth at the start of the season) who have had similar injury problems.

For further evidence, listen to Wenger's interviews, he's always talking about players having 'tired bodies', of course they have you numpty, that's because of your training facilities and methods.
