Last possession stat I saw was 53% in their favour. I've just not been impressed, 2 goals from open play, one as a result of a counter attack, and one was a broken down corner.
its actually 55% in our favour. we've been patient and incisive on ball, sold in defence, we havent aimlessly gone long when they have gone deep, we killed the game in the first half, could have had another 3 this half, been very professional tonight. **** me, give them credit where its due. You'd be singing praises if it was liverpool. Ridiculous
Well done, good victory away from home
Very unimpressed by the performance. Yeah 3 goals, but very uninspiring 
Just thought I'd join the trend of an England fan never being happy. :S

Italy beat Faroe Islands 1-0...
France beat Albania 2-1...
Alot of countries who would have loved a comfy 3-0 win tonight.
Thought Parker impressed (As always), Young/Walcott did a good job. Was disappointed by Walcott (Mr clinical-in-his-own-head) when he had that 1 on 1 that he completely screwed up. But otherwise it was a solid display by everyone.
Disappointed in Capello for not even putting Micah Richards on the bench, I think he should have started. Has Smalling been in great form so far? Yes. Has he got the potential for great things? Yes. Has Richards been in as good if not better form so far this season? I would say yes.
Only negative tonight for me was what on earth Capello was thinking not playing Richards. And the racist chanting at Ashley Young, makes you wonder how Poland/Ukraine are going to host a tournament where 70% of the players that will play are ethnic non whites. (Hmmmm, master stroke by UEFA I think)
I'm assuming that there is a plan to fit Carroll in?
Rooney could play the number 10 role in behind in a 4231 (Young's role tonight, but with more freedom) and then have Young/Walcott either side and be flexible with it.
Wilshere/Gerrard still to come into this team as well, I'm presuming it will end up a 3 man midfield with them 3 and Parker...But I can't see how that fits Carroll+Rooney in.

People are racist everywhere. Whether it would be against jews in London or blacks in Spain and Italy.
except its considerably worse in poland and ukraine...
Because you would all know a lot about that wouldn't you?
Unless you live under a rock, yes.
If you think a couple of chants at Spurs games towards Jews is offensive (Very rare and isolated)
Try this story from 3 days ago from a Polish football match:
Police investigate racist abuse at Polish football match - Thenews.pl :: News from Poland
The opposition fans started chanting Anti Semitic verses at an away game in a town of one of the nastiest **** death camps of WW2.
Not condoning what some sections of Spurs fans do but by god it's incomparable to the acts of racism over there, UEFA have had roughly 3 years to try and stamp it out and racism in Polish football is actually on the rise. Can't see Euro 2012 being racism free.

So you don't know a lot about that? Kthx.
Rooney would have played 10 tonight had Bent been fit. Not sure about Carroll, he provides another option, but we shouldnt be looking to spoon him into the side. play with what fits best: fluid attacking front 4, industrious/creative duo (barry was good tonight, happy to say he proved me wrong)
Still not sure about Walcott.
Good performance all round though
Having been to poland yes. not that you need to have gone there to know. christ, go do some research
Spain has what to do with anything?
Spain's got it's problems (Alot of them) but they aren't hosting a National Team tournament in 2 years time.
England is the pillar of diversified football in the world, no country is more accepting and diverse to all cultures and ethnicities. In Spain every week there are 50+ reported incidents of racism (Be it anti Basque/Catalan/Castillan/Black/Ethnic) in the top 4 tiers of Spanish football. In England I would be surprised if there was 2 every week.

So you would shake your head at UEFA if they set up a tournament in Spain?
And yet its still not as bad, they havent got the open violence
Looking forward to the Wales game, going to be tough and tasty
