Gotta be pleased with the draw, shame we couldn't hold on for the win, but with a performance like that I'm optimistic for a result on Wednesday.....you never know.
As for Ireland, Switzerland and Israel drew, which is a great result |

Brilliant result. Means our destiny is still well in our own hands. We have are two biggest rivals both still to play at home which is a big bonus at this stage. Ireland are very hard to play at home, and neither the Swiss nor France will fancy going to Lansdowne Road with this much at stake.
Any points on Wednesday will be superb. A loss wouldn't be a total disaster, but a win would almost guarantee our progress. A draw would change very little, except mean that the final game with the Swiss would effectively be a decider. Mixture of anticipation and worry about Wednesday. France are a troubled side right now, but so talented that they could turn it on and blow us away. |

Jesus christ there's been an overreaction to the England game. Looking through the News of the World and Terry Venables was the only person not to label it a disaster, fact was i felt we were pretty comfortable for the most part and aside from a few nervy moments near the end and the Hartson header (top class save though) England controlled the game.
Masters final today, come on Leicester

It wasn't a disaster per se but people expect better against not even a full-strength Wales side.
I'll wait and see what happens against NI when in theory we should be full strength before any great sense of panic sets in. |

Never thought I'd see a day where I'd be pissed that Scotland didn't beat Italy. Walter Smith has done fucking wonders just motivating the team. Kenny Miller looks like a different player now. What Glenn Hoddle did with him worked.
I had 7/1 Kenny Miller to get the first goal and 11/1 Scotland to win 1-0

The great thing is he's working that hard every game for us, even though he hasn't scored in the league yet (he will). To be honest I'm a tiny bit worried he's just doing it to put himself on the market (his contract is up this year) but we'll just have to wait and see.

Yeah, at his own request. Hoddle said he hadn't had time to talk with him about it, not sure if that's true or not. Sunderland tried to get him on the cheap
so he's still here. I wouldn't be *totally* surprised to see someone try again in January but I guess it depends on how we're doing/if we can get anyone in to replace (I wouldn't be comfortable relying on Cort, Ganea, Ndah and Clarke for half a season)

The legend that is Pep Guardiola could be going to Wigan which is pretty gay, could help them stay up and get us the extra million for Connolly though, so it's alright and Leicester won the British Masters

Speaking of that Brazil game:
Claridge: "Who’s that Brazilian who plays in midfield and looks like Juninho?" Burton: "I’m not sure." Claridge: "He plays in midfield. And he looks like Juninho." Burton: "Um...I’m really not sure who you mean." Claridge: "The Brazilian who plays for Barcelona in midfield and he looks a bit like Juninho." Burton: "Ah...I think I know who you mean. I think you mean Deco." Claridge: "That’s him." Burton: "Except that he plays for Portugal." Claridge: "I keep thinking he’s called Dido or Dada, or something." Quality coverage right there. Oh and there's also this gem: "Thank God it's only on match days we have to go into Middlesbrough" - Emmanuel Pogatetz |

Southern press, they have visited middlesbrough about the same amount of times channel 5 have paid for a commentator to actually attend a game and not watch it from the studio. Anyway, WTF would he know what middlesbrough looks like, has he got some sort of super glasses that allow him to see through the smog ?

Lol theres a classic quote from Nemeth about Boro too:
"Middlesbrough is very bad. It is not a very nice town and there are a lot of factories" We don't call em the smoggies for nothing. Oh and not 5th worst place to live in the country too .

Anyway, you'd think all these footballers would know that we are an industrial town by now as everytime we are on the telly, its not like the camera's dont pan out and show the beautiful countryside around us do they, no they show the smoking towers at british steel and the ICI plant. (just a point to put out, the 'smoke' coming out of british steel is usually steam due to the fact they are cooling towers for the steel made, whereas the big flames and thick black smoke coming out of ICI is prob darngerous and poinesous - but thats not the point, we have other views they could show to).

He got a whack in the back, he should be fine
Couldn't do it any other way could they, concede a goal in the 89th minute and then have to hold on..... BUT They did it.... and if we win our last 2 games and Norway lose one of theirs, we'll get a playoff place |
