FiveLive have got the commentary spot on with Chris Waddle, and the main comentator, and yes the timing is spot on.

Excellent, one way to banish the nerves - our fans really are shit

[SNOOBS]

Well played Joe Cole

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

Well that was easy.

 

[ali jenkins]

Goooooooooal!

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Good goal that.

A big improvement since the booes started. Shame the same didn't happen under McClaren, we'd be world beaters

I disagree, I think this formation can work - we have had chances to cross and Bentley has fluffed most of them.
Barry has been dire as well.

Well-taken goal, very good play from Joe Cole in the build-up after a good ball from Gerrard.

It's the kind of thing we need to be doing more of (and I think we'll see it under Capello), simple passes and working for the chances, playing efficient football if you like, rather than trying to blast spectacular goals in left, right and centre.

Yep, Thia is the way we will be playing under him.

The booers better get used to it.

About ******* time too.

Nothing new to be honest!!

It is his first game with his tactics and the players will have to get used to it!!

Dodgy start, Wes Brown by far the worst player on the pitch, Bentley started off brightly but needs confidence. New team playing together for first time so alot of Nerves due to that AND Capellos first game, they are all trying abit too hard to show themselves at the moment.
Well worked goal.

It is pathetic. I am sure that two employees could be spared for the day to ring up and ask if yourselves and fellow members were expecting to take up their tickets.

Indeed. It was impossible to get the message through that we were not using these memberships tonight and they could be resold. I gave up in the end because I don't have time to phone everyone connected to the English FA for the sake of a few tickets. I told three different people (all who failed to process this information blaming everything from a system failure to being new in the job) we did not want to use them and my husband is there tonight, sat beside the seats we are not using and they are empty.

I'll take "dull but effective" if it sees us winning games and delivering when it matters.

Trying to play entertaining, flashy football under McClown and SGE didn't exactly fill up the trophy cabinet, did it?

Sad thing is certain fans and the media wont accept it

Unfortunately, you're right.

thats for Capello to rise above it, all we have to do is qualify and thats half his job done.
