England v Ukraine. Thoughts / predictions / bets

[Govinda Tim]

I was seriously considering watching The Midwives rather than this. Wish I had.

Surely you mean Top Boy!!

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

What the hell are itv going to do for the highlight show after the news

 

[Blackadder]

It's got 0-0 written all over it.

You were right.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Sometimes you can only play what's in front of you. A point was enough tonight.

 

[Bwian]

Funny how none of our players are wanted by any European teams isn't it.

To be honest, a lot of them aren't even wanted by English teams.

At least they would have delivered.

I'd plump for a Mr Bean repeat. More entertaining.

0-0 f/t. Good result, we have the platform to win the group with two home games left.

Oh do shut up. We are awful.

Probably not as many ***** on show as at the football though.

I had a Denmark to beat Armenia and England draw double. £15 at just under 7-1. Nice little tickle!

Good call. You predicted Friday's match correctly too, iirc.

That's just it though: they can't! Half of 'em look like they're unable to perform the very basics. We badly need a football revolution in this country, but I honestly can't see it happening in my lifetime. Different time, same old crap.

This - to me whenever at least half the England play a short pass it doesn't look like they have an idea of who exactly they're passing to, more that they just want to get the ball away from them and onto somewhere else so they can stop being responsible for it.

FFS do you know anything about qualifying for big tournaments?

 

[yxee]

Textbook example of how a pathetically lenient referee can be exploited to destroy any continuity in a football game.

Not that England deserved anything more than a point, worst performance in the opposition half I can ever remember. Lambert up front doesn't work for me, it makes the entire team think they're Paul Scholes.

How Ashley Young is still getting game time ahead of the younger, brighter wingers is beyond me. Coasting on a reputation from his days at Villa.

 

[bomber130]

At least they would have delivered.

But would you have seen so many fannies

 

[Ernest]

One chance in the 92nd minute sums it up

 

[nicko31]

Ashley Young was quality

 

[banjo]

0-0 f/t. Good result, we have the platform to win the group with two home games left.

Yep a point away.

 

[somerset]

The problem with the lack of creativity in the England team, is the fact that there are no overseas players doing it for them.
