Looks like Robben may have to take that IQ test with his mate Carvalho... ;)

Considering he's never healthy for more than 3 games at a time, he doesn't have to worry about a rotation. Pretty dumb move on his part on the heels of Carvalhos outburst.

Maybe this is all a mind game on the other teams as was actually suggested by a reporter here.. :D
Mourinho wouldn't do something that crazy would he? ;)

I can understand Carvalho but Robben? Is there something wrong in the camp, like Mr.Ferguson predicted? I'm serious about this post, not trolling.
Oh well just replace Robben with Shaun Wright Phillips...What a drop in quality.... :D

Ah the media, ready to blow everything out of proportion, cue the Robben to Man Utd rumours
One of the quotes from Robben
"The problem now is that if you have a dip in form or play badly then you are immediately replaced."
hmmm, no I think I would rather leave someone playing like shyte (Robben) on the pitch and take off someone playing well (Maka) versus Wigan. Good strategy.

BTW, anyone remember JMs comments after the Wigan game about "people better not come crying to my door when they are not on the teamsheet"?
Was that translated into Dutch/German?

Yaaaaaaaaawn. Lets keep playing the damn games.
Although its funny. Keane has a falling out with Fergie and no one suggests its all over for ManUtd. Carvalho complains about playing time, and suddenly when Robben suggests a rotation system has its downfall for players (if you read his comments, he didn't actually criticize it) and suddenly the sky is falling.
Comes with being the champions, I suppose. Fine by me. You don't want to be replaced Arjen? Play better. :p

Robben shouldnt complain, he should be happy he is still first choice, even though he is the most fragile player in history of sports.
he's starting to act like a selfish twat..dumb boy

Seems like Robben never said that statement at all. Just the press trying to bring Chelsea down.

BBC has changed it since it first appeared today.. It was their own article and suddenly it changed and now it has the denial..
If it's all BS then BBC fell for it too.. ;)

...Keane has a falling out with Fergie and no one suggests its all over for ManUtd...:confused: the tabloids (and media in general) here has an absolute field day on it, basically saying that we were falling apart before the season has even begun, what with our players holding out (Rio - a story that the media completely blew out of proportion); teammates fighting on the pitch (Rio & Ruud... again completely exaggerated); manager & captain fighting, and the manager subsequently leaving Keane out of the preseason tour (a complete lie as Keane was injured at the time); our lack of activity in the transfer market (true, we haven't done too much, but our moves have been solid, both in buying & selling), and of course Ruud being off-form in preseason (despite scoring 2 hattricks... well, he's doing a good job putting that one to rest now, hopefully).
