Fancy Ireland tonight, had a wager on them at 5/4. Think Bosnia may be too strong for NI.

NI are playing Serbia mate but agree I think they'll be too strong, they're a decent price at 6/5

I like tournament football, I'll be watching England (and cursing whoever starts at rightback if it isn't Micah)

It's Smalling. Who'd have thunk it eh?

Hart, Smalling, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Walcott, Parker, Barry, Downing; Young, Rooney.

Cheers pal. Only 2 City players? Capello definately pandering to Taggart. Should beat Bulgaria with that team though.

Got sky coverage in the background.

Did I really hear Jamie Rednapp say "If Capello had been English he'd have been sacked"!! What a strange thing to say.

And:-
"The pitch isn't great, it'll affect England's passing game." England's passing game? Blimey

The effect the swamp/the scum shirt has on a players ability to over-acheive is never more obvious then during an england game.

Young looks like a villa player again and that was shreks SECOND goal in 16 games, how many times has he gone that long without a goal for the scum?

He's always there isn't he, great vision as well. I've noticed he's started to get further forward.

Capello usually plays him further forward than Bob.
