There's a cult of Scotland like there's a cult of Newcastle or a cult of West Ham and it just annoys the shit out of me. You don't get any of that with either of the Irelands of Wales. We get some coverage, sure, but it's not weirdly fanatical and we're not talked up to be anything we aren't. 

 

 

 

 

This sounds like what an American thinks is west of Birmingham.

I'll be honest, that's a pretty great typo.

I don't doubt it, not for a second...

 

...What other reason would there be not to have saw that poor, sober pedestrian?!

Rumoured lineup, no clue if it is legit or not.

It's driving them nuts 

 

 

 

 

I was saying exactly this last night.

 

Between the coverage on the two broadcasters and the various documentaries that have been aired over the last few weeks, I swear I must've seen this goal about 50 times. 

 

Not that it's a bad thing, mind.

Three Red Stripes en route - One for Sterling, one for Phillips, one for Barnes.

 

First time I've worn a replica shirt (1998 home off eBay) to a game since about 2003 but it feels very right.

I had tickets for this but lost them when the capacity was reduced. Didn’t particularly mind when I found out a couple of weeks ago, absolutely gutted now.

Harry Redknapp's still expecting him to turn up in England's back four tonight.

We've all put on a few pounds in lockdown, don't be too hard on yourself!

I've just been swept up and ordered a 1996 shirt. Forgot I'm going away tomorrow and we might be out by the time it arrives

Tbf you could probably send your u19s and beat Scotland 4-1.

Is this the very familiar Celtic nation supporters  'build England up so you set yourself up to laugh at them barring anything other than a big win in their favour' refrain I detect there?

That is my favoured lineup, I expect us to win but games with Scotland are genuinely never easy… they will come at us early on and we need to ensure we match those levels and don’t concede early… otherwise it will be a truly difficult night. Although in saying that a point isn’t the worst result for us either

Narh ask @Izzy I'd never do that, I'm not that sort honestly. 

 

I'm just being reasonable. You're overwhelming favourites for a reason, all the media hype is an irrelevance. They've got to make it seem like this is a competitive clash to sell their coverage. The reality is this should be an extremely comfortable procession for England. 

 

You'll walk it. 

 

I mean, anything less than that would be cripplingly embarrassing. Iceland level humiliation all over again.

Assumed a 90s L would be a nowadays XL as everything was baggier then!

I'll take a 1-0 shithouse, scuffed arse finish right now. 

This is the one game where performance matters not a jot. 

 

Glad we can count on the support of our brothers across the bridge 😀

It wasn't like I didn't know that if you actually read my first post....😉

Hope the leaked team is correct. 

I'll take that 11 all day long. Not far off the best we have.
