I'm interested to know what peoples thoughts are on the game tonight, I am thinking about laying england as I am certain we arent a 4/6 shot.  Capello as usual isnt making things easy, still unsure who is going to be playing upfront so maybe waiting for the starting line up is a good idea, however if heskey plays will the price drift!?

decisions decisions.

2-1


i really hope scotland win as well[ ]

LOL

I was going to also ask what peoples thoughts are on the other home nations qualifying.  I don't really mind either way, the camp at work is split with 3 out of the 5 fellas i work with wanting the scottish to lose and the other two wanting them to qualify.

This is made for Becks to come on 84th and score an over head kick from the half way line..

England, Holland, Switzerland.. Would be lovely if they all won, but could also deal with Scotland beating Holland, if they draw i'll smack Weir with a chair next time I see him! (I'm yet to see him)

£118 is the hope....

2-0 england ... defoe first goal please.

but will he start?

surely defoe last goal is the better bet

you think he will start Heskey again ?

please god NO !!

England 1-0 Rooney, it won't be pretty imo.

I am kind torn on the jocks, I kind of want them to win but then I miss out on giving them a rubdown after they get beat. I suppose I give Boldie a rubdown instead.

gg Kev - Heskey starts.

must be a lay now!?

england's record in qualifying games with heskey playing

p 20, w 15, d 4, l 1

and with defoe

p 19, w 13, d 3, l 3

heskey ftw

England 2-1, Heskey 1st goalscorer. trust me

England 2-0
Kev to win the league tourney

1,000-1?

England, Holland and Slovakia treble for me.

so nobody is with me!?

I think we'll go 2-0 up and let in a soft goal. 2-1 to England.
Hope Scotland win too.

no, can't see any value in laying @ 4/6

FML, bet all written out and the news comes over the tannoy in laddies ... Heskey starts , Defoe on bench...

I screw the bet up and have £10 on a dog which binks at 3/1 weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So I have the following revised bet

England 2-0 £5 @ 6/1
England 3-0 £5 @ 11/1

England 2-0 Lampard 1st goal £2  @ 35/1
England 3-0 Lampard 1st goal £2  @ 60/1

England 2-0 Rooney 1st Goal £2 @ 25/1
England 3-0 Rooney 1st goal £2 @ 40/1

Lampard first scorer £4 @8/1

So I am freerolling a £22 bet, 2 boxes of Mr Kiplings Cherry Bakewells & 20 Superkings blue .... toasty life :D

looks like a cracking result regardless of what happens in the game!

Why do the FA give 7k Croatia fans seats near the front?

Stick them up in the top tier where they make less noticeable noise and less impact/encouragement to their players.

create an atmosphere?

maybe so but it's Bollocks, excuse my French. stick em out the way where they can't have an impact.

England to win with Scotland and Serbia to beat the frogs, 12-1 treble

12-1 jeez that is tight! Should be more like 25-1.

bright start

even brighter.  sigh

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Grats Kev, more cherry bakewells ftw?

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


profit and a good bet running

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

lennon's causing havoc

to be honest, this game is down to me, as soon as i bet against england it was in the bag.

lennon looks class.

We are playing quite well aren't we, quite an unusual feeling this.

lennons incred

Who's the team all in white?  Seem quite good....

tight til half time please ... then nick a 3rd in the 88th min when the croats are steaming forward.

thx.

Brazil in disguise

Tell you what though, the save their keeper made from Barry's shot earlier was top drawer.  A real world-class save.

Yeah thats what I thought. You could see him looking round his defence to jus see roughly which direction ball was going in.

pisses me off you cant just buy tickets at the gate,surely they would at least fill the stadium

lucky it was heskey through there

How does Heskey start and Dafoe sits on the bench?

should be 6 !!

Settle for 2 though :D

Huh its a sell out?

We were so all over them its men against boys, we could be 4 or 5 up.

are u serious graham?
Heskeys been s good for us and still does a top drawer job holding the ball up, flick ons, he's a vital member of the squad.
I love bruno.

Surely as a forward he's there for a different role than holding the ball up?

The others play around Heskey. Does the dirty stuff, has done since 18 years old

Absaolutely the right selection, with Defoe off the bench if needed

McManaman get his hair cut by the council ??

because he's superb and defoe's a superb impact sub. play defoe from the start and you take rooney out of the game, they've never gelled

plus mfkin 1

By his mum.  With a spoon.

this

meh :D

yeah, that was brilliant stuff, looking left around the defence then diving right to where he guessed the ball was going.

he's had a great game, no chance on either goal

dont worry, your still 1 notch above steve mclaren on the next manager market

 ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend;

LOL :D

i don't watch a lot of football so maybe it's just me but that line of text they have on the screen with the score on it just seems too big too low and too central. very obtrusive imo

LOL, I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it.

Now it's really bugging me.  Why have they got it so low on the screen!!??

Never gonna hold ... FML.

Very good goal.

Funny how under a good manager Gerrard and Lampard seem to gel pretty well.

its so sick

oi oi, buzzing

sssighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

get 7 now please

That was a really good header, going to be nice not having to adopt a new country to support next summer.

Shame we've conceded.  Green did well to stop the first two shots.

Spain is built around Iniesta and Xavi - if we get it right there's no reason we cant have just an as outrageous midfield.

Im glad, makes losing the scorecast more palatable ;)

LOLOLOL

hahahahaha brilliant ... but I made a profit on the bet ;)

got a GREAT chance if we get that sussed by 2010

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Heskey would have missed that by the way ;)

That keeper's had a decent game until now.  He's let 5 in like, but has been pretty decent!

wp keeps

easy when youve banged in 5 but england have been flowing all night, awsome stuff

the most impressive part for me, was the fact that we came out of the traps quickly and got at them ... we imposed ourselves on the game and gave them a hounding right from the first whistle.

Beckham free kick special would cap it off

 ;applause;

Vwp lads, bring on South Africa!!!

;applause; ;applause;

great stuff. 8th straight win sees us tear apart a top 10 ranked nation, gotta be pleased with that

we're going to take a really strong squad with us this time, no deadweight and there'll be some top, top players left behind

on top of the 18 in tonight's squad you've got james, robinson, rio, lescott, richards, carrick, downing, ashley young, joe cole, wright phillips, walcott, hargreaves, crouch, owen if he has a good season

so that's 32 all of whom could make the squad and I'm sure I've missed a few plus there's always likely to be a couple of surprise packages through the season. agbonlahor maybe

Yes - very English! Will blood, guts and thunder be enough? It is in the Champions League. When our teams play that style the continentals cant handle it.

We are bit better than that, it is not simply about playing at a high tempo or all the home countries would be qualifying for World cups. Mix the quality we have with a high tempo game, we have a got a shot.

Yes I agree but this team is pretty technically gifted now also....

Bloody England, just when I think I will never think it again, now like a twonk I suddenly am deluding myself that we will win the world cup.

Controlled, classy, confident and ruthless, one of the best performances I have seen in ages.

Congrats to Scotland btw for only losing by one

Remember when we beat Germany 5-1 in a World Cup qualifier?  We didn't do so well in the finals after that.  Germany went on to reach the final.

There you go, that should dampen some of the optimism. 

Thank you, I needed that.

Actually think it was a better performance last night, but very good point.
