Well, that was rather straightforward. This was built up as a brutal, menacing encounter, England entering the furnace of the Rajko Mitic Stadium and forced to navigate The Tunnel, the venue?s 240-metre long quirk ? labelled as ?terrifying? by one of the tabloids; ?not so agreeable? by the more reasonable Thomas Tuchel. Chuck in Tuchel?s readiness to embrace the enduring spirit of Rory Delap and you would have expected a Royal Rumble in Belgrade, the visitors unlikely to look all that pretty in pursuit of victory.
I like to say that people who go to the stadium are lucky enough to just come to see a show and not know what goes on behind the scenes. Honestly, if I didn?t have this passion, the world of football would have disgusted me a long time ago? ? Kylian Mbapp?, there, sounding like he?s all out of love with the beautiful game at the grand old age of 26..
It?s great to see that Tommy Tuchel has finally found what he was looking for ? an opponent worse than Andorra. By the way, as well as finding out that Only Fools and Horses was extremely popular in Serbia, perhaps it might be worth Big Website tapping up its Serbia expert to also explain why they have frequently been so much worse than Croatia despite having a population that is 70% larger?? ? Noble Francis.
Regarding Kev?s letter in yesterday?s Football Daily: if we are referencing sit-coms in Australia, look no further than the late 80s. Although I?m not sure if Forest are about to get their ?Acropolis Now? or ?Apocalypse Now? moment. Should be entertaining either way? ? David Bell.
England were pretty good last night, so heaven knows why I was so absorbed with the pitch-side advertising. I wonder when ?the UK?s #1 piles treatment?was last promoted at a match in Serbia? With perfect timing, the ad popped up (out?) straight after Harry Kane made himself a pain in the collective Serbian @rses by scoring the opener? ? Phil Taverner.
Regarding Ange Postecoglou?s record of second-season heroics, can we expect a trophy next year or does he need two full seasons to win something?? ? Craig Limesand.
