The Official (And Quite Lonely For Those Who Contribute) England v Malta Thread...

[Eeyore]

I'm watching it as a fill in before I go out to dinner tonight. Attackers v defenders.

Was refreshing that they all (and I include Shrek) sang along to Her Maj's ditty.

Lingard's debut so far has been positive. Got to take into account how weak the opposition are, but his running and dribbling will be a useful asset to have against other teams that throw men behind the ball.

I'm sure our BG would be happy with their keeper. He was born in Surrey. Made some good saves.

The drum 'n' kazoo combo buzzing away in the background are as annoying as ever.

I don't think that Andrew Hogg will still be at Hibs by season's end...

England games with your own playlist on is a good way of drowning that out. With the added bonus of also drowning out Tyldesley and Hoddle's observations too.

Seems to be worse every game, amazed they persist with it.

Just turned up the sound and first thing you hear is that awful band. I hate them so much. Why are they still there? They are like one of those awful South American street busking bands that you find in North Street and Western Road but a million times worse.

Why is Giggs in the studio?

Playing some lovely one touch stuff

Some nice tiki taka.

It's good that we're finding our level. We can beat island nations like Malta but we come unstuck when they are Iceland-sized. That means that we're still a formidable force against pretty much all of the West Indies, Fiji, Sri Lanka and Ireland.

Even Scotland beat them by 4. Can't believe we've only scored 2 [emoji20]

Yes, in a match where Malta had 2 players sent off.

81k at Wembley have been mugged off.

Ranked 176, one place below Suriname (wherever that is).

Italy only beat them 2-0 twice, in the qualifying group for 2014 WC.
One of the victories was cemented with a 95th minute goal.

As shitehouse as it is being an England fan, let's not fall into all the usual traps.
Take the win, wipe your face, and move onto the next game.
