They will be very lucky to have him.

They are holding the FA trophy final very early this year.

Yep, All The Saints. The other two just do not seem right.

I dissagree. These are sovereign nations and members of UEFA. Playing the sides like England, Italy, Spain etc justifies their existence. Beating teams like this convincingly is relevant as when two bigger teams are drawn into a group the goal difference will balance out, how you deal with the minnows is just as important as how you deal with the more established teams. And as for the credentials of the smaller nations, recently Malta defeated a major tournament finalist at home. The smaller nations need the equal stage and exposure to be given a chance to develop.

Punch mentioned Pochettino as the best tactical manager he's come across, Fenners actually said, 'you can't say him for every one......'

Our own player and Merson not withstanding, good show that.

You don't know that. ​Yeah, maybe.

Puncheon looked a little 'knowing' there.....

Ben Chorley, now at Stevenage

"If he had pace....."

Punch's 'Best Team' he's played with/against: GK: Graham Stack D: Alan Dunne (Millwall) D: Ben Chorley (Ex MK Dons, Wimbledon, Now at Stevenage) D: Luke Shaw CM: Nicky Bailey (Ex Barnet, At Middlesborough) CM: Lionel Morgan (Wimbledon youth player, now retired due to injury) CM: Oxlade-Chamberlain AM: Adam Lallana RF: DJ Campbell (Blackpool team-mate) CF: Rickie Lambert LF: David Connolly (Knew him at Wimbledon too)

I respect him taking responsibility for his actions......

Punch is straight on..... Along with the Skate.

????

8-0. Defoe back-heel. Can we get ten? And rather then celebrate the goal Sturridge puts his hands on his hips and shows very petulant body language.

7-0 now, With Rickie on the pitch it would have been 9. Free kick in Rickie range now.....

0-6 now, superbly placed free kick by Wayne Rooney. A better keeper would have had it though. Sturridge missed a sitter...... Seriously, Rickie Lambert would be having a field day.

Danny Graham's time to shine?

0-5 England on 42 minutes. I can't actually remember us being this efficient against a minnow for... well... ever....

Shame rain disrupted the second session, didn't get a true feel for the pecking order I believe. The tyres are dying a death out there. Could play into Kimi's hands again, whoever qualifies eleventh will be worth keeping a close eye on.

There is a subtle yet important distinction between discussion and dissection.

Coventry had that scenario back in December 2007. They gladly took it. At least at the time we seemed to be in a reasonably ok state.

That Akpom lad from Arsenal looks a bit handy.

With two years left I would say things are in hand. Having our only immediately Premier League standard keeper able to leave on a free in 3 months time is a little more pressing for me.

At least for us it happened relatively quickly. Coventry City has been dragging on painfully slowly and needlessly.
