Go on Armenia!

[Mr Kipling]

He was also complainin' about the Ref not punishin' Williams for holdin' Terry in the box but up the other end when the Ref had a word he still wasn't happy. "Ref havin' a word but allowin' all sorts to go on at the other end"

He really is the most biased commentator around. I'll probably mute the tv in the second half before I hear him chat absolute shit again.

[Anywhichwayicant]

Who also have class women. Win win.

Absolutely. Winnin' of Charlie Sheen proportions. If only I had got a ticket to that game 

[Breitner]

Thought we were shite until the goal. Not sure how we've set up but it seemed very negative

[olllie]

Adam's not playing right? Will he play against Stoke?

[rushyman]

Can I just say what an absolute shit team of pundits ITV put together for football

[AriGold]

Adam's not playing right? Will he play against Stoke?

Yer he's fine for Saturday apparently.

[Coolie High]

Although I find that disgusting, what he does off the pitch really isn't any of our concern

 

[Red Genius]

I don't think its negative, rather none of Milner, Lampard or Barry are being a runner to support the front 3.

The midfield 3 whilst compact are very bland with their range of passing and support play.

[actwithoutwords]

Hartson managed to contradict himself about 4 times in one sentence there about Bale.

[Crimson_Tank]

Yer he's fine for Saturday apparently.

Excellent news that, causing Stoke danger from set pieces is always nice.

[DanJay87]

great now i have a vision of an erect Toby Jug

cheers Chiles

[Popcorn]

Lithuania have 3 on 1 there and the player completely fucks it up by delaying far too long.

[Popcorn]

Penalty for Scotland

[James Mac]

God, Adrian Chiles really is a quim.

[Hunter Thompson]

2-0

Absolute cracker. Come on Armenia.

[Dystopia]

Fekkin' Norway. Agger's been great though.

[Breitner]

Milner

Think the real problem is we're only playing with 10 men. Nah, just looked like a weird set up. The goal give us a bit of confidence but I'd switch to a more traditional formation. Wales have got nothing other than Dr Zaius

Fletcher misses a pen, he he

[Popcorn]

[rowan_d]

I don't think its negative, rather none of Milner, Lampard or Barry are being a runner to support the front 3.

The midfield 3 whilst compact are very bland with their range of passing and support play.

Also, none of the 3 are capable of carrying the ball past Wales' midfield and into the space. Lampard is fine at running into space off the ball, but that relies on being surrounded by players with the ability to find him quickly in that space. Barry's mind works too slowly for that, and Milner simply isn't capable of it. Its one of the reasons Wilshere will be hugely important for England, he can play incisive one-twos, or he can drop his shoulder and carry the ball with him

[rushyman]

'What will Fabio Cappello be saying at HT'

Hopefully something like:

You are all fucking awful. I just cant make ice-cream out of shit. Germany will pump you even worse if we play them, God it will be a horror show. The only thing worse than you lot is those fucking trumpet playing wankers in the crowd whose lips have got to be like a whores fanny by now. Fuck off back out on the pitch and labour to a win v a load of Championship players and a monkey

[El_Pistolero]

Haha Fletcher.

[Popcorn]

3--1 estonia, horrible mistake..

fucking idiot that McAuley..

at Gerry Armstrong

[Aido LFC]

2-0

Absolute cracker. Come on Armenia.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

[1021]

That was the most embarrasing advert I have ever seen.
Roooooney's on ITV are to be expected.
But I thought they were better than 'Chit-cha-rit-ooooo'

[Mashy-rawr!nooo]

Ingurland will win this game easily. But it won't be due to tactical genuis. More Individual brilliance. The first goal was proof. Downing tricked his marker and pulled it back to Young (Who was not expecting this) to convert it. Englands football is farrrr to slow for what they are trying to do. Wales are given the time and space to pullback and realign there backline. Englands first touch football seems to be somewhat slow and unintelligent. They aren't quick enough to pick out the next pass and if are they its usually one that could to have been someone much more dangerous. They appear to lack the confidence to play one touches into Rooney who's being marked because he'll loose when he wont. As much as I hate shrek he's got the ability to move up from one-touches and does this particuarly well for Yernited.Hes also been making intelligent runs somewhat for Ingurland which alot of his teamsmates have failed to realise. These flaws may not be too troubling now,but when they face opposition such as Spain,Italy,France and Germany they'll be exploited on these moves and their time taken in midfield by unsure and unwilling midfielders will be hooked by faster teams such as Spain.

Been midly impressed with Downing, think he plays much better with Pool though.

[Sinead7]

Pity we were too shite to beat Slovakia on Fri night and this would have been sown up already.

2-0 Armenia keep her lit!

[Kahuna{=}Berger]

2-0

Absolute cracker. Come on Armenia.

  SSN only now reporting the 2nd goal. Idiots.

[Tommy_W]

Would have been 1-1 if the linesman wasnt shite

[tamadic]

We should have bought A.Young from Watford instead of Babel...
And we should have bought A.Young from Villa instead of Henderson with the same amount of money.
When defenders facing Young or Henderson, who do you think they are scared more?
Henderson might have more potential or a more all-round player, but for us, we need instant impact imo.
Bottom line is,  KK and DC know football much better than me, time for me to shut up.  :>

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah no.

Although maybe we should have bought Young instead of Babel. But we didn't. Henderson will be a better, albeit different, player to Young.

[Breitner]

Downing looks so pacy with the ball at his feel. Funny how playing for another club distorts your judgement

[Lawnmowerman]

Linkypoos?

My brain was ticking along the same thoughts, whether the media jump on the band wagon and hail Wilshere as the next english saviour when approaching next summer will be interesting, make no bones about it though irrespective of his age - his style of play and very few english alternatives who can provide that role makes him very important to England if they ever want to do 'well' at Euro 2012.

Why would Young have moved to us when Man Utd were in for him?

Hindsight. When Villa bought him they were laughed at because they paid 10mil.

I think we should have bought Messi. But that's just me.
