am i the only one ,not that interested in this?very doubtful that will watch,how bad is that?

 

[Stat Brother]

I was going to start a thread nearer kick off asking:-

'what time did you 'buy out' of the game'.

If I make it half time, I should get to the hour, mark.
Although the more likely answer will be 20-30 minutes.

Have watched 5 live games this week!

doing radio show.....thank goodness !

I'm looking forward to it. Got nothing better to do, so something to sit and watch with the family. England freindlies are massively tedious, but this game has a lot riding on it.

A little BET will add some interest, too.

I predict a comfortable 2-0 home win, greeted by a euphoric press declaring us as favourites for the World Cup*


*Until the inevitable 0-0 draw against Poland on Tuesday, relegates us to a play-off.

 

[Wellesley]

Well I shall be watching, and I'll take much glee in seeing England give Johnny foreigner a damn good thrashing.

 

[dougdeep]

Is there a game on?

 

[Hillian1]

Yep I'll be watching.

Wife is going to see The Jersey Boys tonight so I'll be bang on it.

 

[Colossal Squid]

I've not watched an England game since the Euros last year.

I don't really get this Friday night thing either. I've almost always got something better to do on a Friday night. If these games were on when I'd normally be watching the Albion on a Saturday then they might have more chance of grabbing my attention

 

[Frutos]

I was aware that we are playing, but I've genuinely no idea WHO we're playing.

You could have found out, in the time it took you to type that.

I could have, but I honestly don't care.

I would like to watch it but I'm at a gig tonight, may catch the first half in a pub if possible.

It's funny how some people wear their lack of interest like a badge of honour. I find it odd that someone can be a football fan and not have even the slightest interest. It's a vital World Cup qualifier, not some mickey mouse friendly.

It's the cool thing to hate on the England National team at the moment unfortunately, I find it all a bit sad, specially when the people hating on it then go and glory hunt themselves all over Spain or Germany. National team plastics are worse than Club plastics IMO.

I'll always be excited for a competetive England international.

 

[marshy68]

I am actually going......first live England game for years....

 

[Winker]

I did something rash yesterday and bought a ticket for Tuesday night - it should be a better game and possibly more important.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Can see a Montenegro victory in all honesty, will say 1-2.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

but the England team is just SO dull these days, and full of journeymen players I care nothing about.

Oh for the days of....
