Interesting, not saying it is great by any manner of means, but thought we have a little more 'zip' than on Thursday.

Agreed and as much as I like a moan about England they should get credit where its due. In the team - Butland 5 caps, cresswell 2 caps, Maguire 0 caps, stones 19, Trippier 1 cap. 27 caps amongst the back line. Add in winks with none and its a pretty inexperienced line up playing a different system and doing ok.

TBF We knew what we'd get with puppet Southgate at the helm. I'd rather watch Monkey Tennis

Henderson almost creates something! Henderson! Henderson almost creates something! But no, seriously Henderson....I didn't say Ali I said Henderson.... Hendreson was being creative! What a time we're living in.

As an aside, pretty sure if Scotland do not win, then N Ireland will be confirmed as a 'best second place' because of the way it all works out.

2-1 down now.

[Alex_BCFC]

Well that is that for Scot-e-land. Just couldn't shut up shop at 1-0 up.

[myol'man]

Cheer up Gordon Strachan. . .

That Gas fan there must be the only England fan that is in a better stadium than the one he watches his own team play in.

Much rather see the home nations qualify. England v scotland in russia at least would create some interest.

I take the opposing view: much as I am presently indifferent towards England, the rest of them can GTF and hopefully never qualify for anything.

Why does Paddy Townsend keep referring to "us" and "we"..........he sold his birthright years ago..he's Oirish !

This game was brilliant cured my insomnia

Did anyone else see the City flag behind the goal at the end?

What was the point of replacing Hodgson with someone equally dreary in his approach? There may have been worse England sides but surely none more dull than this one?

He doesn't inspire me or make me proud at all. The players looked like they are thinking about their club games and not wanting to get hurt, they aren't motivated or filled with pride either. Bored by the World Cup already. Thank god ive got some Irish blood in me and I can cheer on Callum & Co hopefully stuffing the Welshies tomorrow, on tv anyway.

We didn't. We replaced Hodgson with someone with a pair of balls to do what he wanted, not the board. And then we had to replace HIM with someone dreary as he was caught in a newspaper sting.

Hopefully Callum and the boys can do the business against Wales tomorrow.
