One more open play goal....and he'll have the non penalty record for England. Still needs like 4 more pens to take Franks penalty haul.
Looks better when our attacks don't take 5 minutes to build up while they get 11 men behind the ball. What a shocker.
One on one against possibly the slowest defender in the league and he's afraid to take him on.
We know that already. No need to beat him up about it all the time !
So. fecking. Slow.
Fantastic today, proper captains performance.
That's it!
That's a top finish.
What a goal
Yesss!!
He's been bang on today.

Lovely strike.
Is he back? 
Van Gaal seen there dotting the I's and crossing the T's on Rooney's new 6 year play as you get paid deal 
Is he wearing a yarmulke? Something odd with his hair tonight.
His best performance since...?
Beautiful finish.
And scoring from outside the box. What a sight.

That was a great goal.
He scores 3 goals after an absolute eternity, of which 2 have been penalties, against the absolute bottom of the league and suddenly he's back as a Player? I love this place
Probably the Basel game, although this game carries a lot more magnitude since that could be the winner. Arguably his best performance of the season, even if that's not exactly a mean feat.
No, but it's certainly some very pleasing signs of a return to formHe scores 3 goals after an absolute eternity, of which 2 have been penalties, against the absolute bottom of the league and suddenly he's back as a Player? I love this place
Yeah, because that's what people are saying.He scores 3 goals after an absolute eternity, of which 2 have been penalties, against the absolute bottom of the league and suddenly he's back as a Player? I love this place
He just loves playing Newcastle
He's been excellent tonight.

I don't think anyone's under the illusion that he's truly back to his best, but there's been a definite improvement. He's been heavily involved in all three goals tonight, and his assist for Lingard's goal was lovely. His game still has a number of problems; mainly his lack of pace and inability to take it past a man, but he's shown some signs that he's still got some technical ability kicking about.
That's the Rooney we want to see.
tuned into the game at 2-2, minute later he does something I never expected him to be able to do ever again.
fair play.
fair play.
You can't expect more than that. Quality goal.
Best performance for us since feck knows when.
Look at the gameday thread...and not only that one.
Happy for him.
How many goals is he away from Sir Bobby Charlton's record now?
You mean the very definition of kneejerk posts?- I'm sure a number of them are tongue in cheek also.
About 7/8 probably now, but if he played Newcastle every week he'd have doubled it by next January.
best display for a long time.
shame we made such a mash up defensively.

Very good performance (by the normal standards), if he maintains this, I can see us doing well this season still.
Our best player tonight, his best performance of the season. Thought he showed more desire and his second goal and assist were fantastic. He did miss a couple of chances but Fellaini and Lingard's should have sealed the three points for us.
Very good performance from him.
finally managed to put in a performance. long ways to go to come back from the slump but it's a start. happy for him.
It's surely no coincidence that when we play a more open style he shines. I have no doubt that our style has made him look many times worse than he actually is. Any striker would struggle to impress when our play style encourages the opposite to gather their entire 11 in the final third.
Best performance of the season from Wayne. Encouraging to see.
