I don't think Vokes,Ward,Hendrick,Brady & Walters would agree.Down here in Wales there are a lot of Welsh supporters,including me,really looking forward to tonight's game.I think the Republic of Ireland supporters will also be looking forward to their game against Serbia.Depending on results there could be a massive last game in the Group when Wales host the Republic here in Cardiff.What was the score again after 85 mins Malta v England?

What a boring break, I'd agree with Dave Thornley in that the powers that be look more to the money than anything else, not to mention having a qualifier for the world cup so near the transfer window closing.

Dave's rhetorical question is just that as there is no answer, money has ruined our favourite national sport and our International team and it cannot be rectified.

The England Manager who is in place, The dire FA who appointed him, and at least 2/3 players who were in the team(s) for these qualifiers tells me how poor we are, what has Tom Heaton to do to get into the team, he's playing very well yet has to sit and watch his counter part who has had 2/3 woeful PL games and is prone to many mistakes, its ridiculous and shows bad Management of the highest order.

Dave is happy with our transfer window, each to their own as I am disappointed.

If the media get their way --and they usually do -- Tom will be getting the push with Butland and Pickford being the new blue eyed boys on the block.
English football has been going downhill for years and this has been hastened since the emergence of the PL.
Personally, I would rather watch football where tackling is looked upon as an art and is allowed without players going to ground because they 'felt contact' -- everyone was more aware of exactly what constituted offisde, players actually wanted to perform and did so on mudheaps some weeks.
I know --the young guns will say that we just thought the game was better and that it is far superior these days and we are deluded to think otherwise, however, I remain unconvinced that the game is better now than it was.

Heaton would have saved the Slovakian goal last night, no problem...

How is Hart keeping the jersey?

The same reason that Southgate got his job.Their faces fit nicely within the incompetent FA`s agenda.
