And how is this news again?

This is the man who built League Two Northampton Town up to be Brazil of 1970 the league cup at Anfield. Yeah, that was a night.

We were not great tonight, but in all honesty, it is hard playing a game of football when only one team tries to play. That's been the case vs Slovakia and Wales.

 

[Vanjagl]

Congratulations anyways. I had you home before Wimbledon starts, which could still well happen. But I had you going out of the groups. Which may well of happened but for the injury time winner last time out.

So you've out performed what I expected. Well done. I got that one wrong.

You're not English?

Even harder when you don't get men forward yourself and play at such a slow pace. Mainly sideways and backwards.

Little to no excuse for England not beating such average mediocrity as Slovakia whatever side was sent out.

To borrow from a good Texan friend .... English by birth. Scouse by the grace of God. (H).

But don't rile zz up.

No excuse for not winning but I knew Roy making so many changes was a mistake. Still not all bad, if Portugal win their group we will face Iceland or Hungary, if Portugal come second we'll face them, which isn't great but Wales might face Croatia.

Well one thong's for sure. You can be assured Hodgson would talk Iceland up as being the best team in the tournament and you have to be well prepared and cautious against them.

Liverpool fans know. .

You stewarding the Barca game mate out of interest? I know you do 'Spurs games. Wondered if that run over to Wembley?

Nah mate different company do Wembley.

Ack. Sorry mate.

He fears no one because he's already resigned to losing

He talks a lot up mate.

"There aren't many quality left-backs around in the world, never mind in England - so to find an English one who can go straight into the team without any adjustment problems is a big advantage."

- Roy Hodgson on signing Paul Konchesky @ Liverpool Football Club

Hey, remember what happened when everybody disrespected Greece in the Euro? You don't write off anybody in the knockouts.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

Did someone mention they couldn't understand Walker playing ahead of Clyne? .....

This is a squad built for a diamond shape and we are not playing it. It's actually ludicrous. And I'm fed up of us getting basic set ups wrong every tournament.
