What chance Owen coming on for the winner? Graham Taylor thinks the subs have meant no change in formation, just where does he think Crouch is playing?

SWP and Crouch coming on.

Rooney's banned for the Manchester derby. Ah, not much he can complain about then.

Who do Man United play this weekend? I bet Ferguson isn't too chuffed at Rooney playing on his own up there. He is chasing a lot but not getting much joy.

How the hell did Rooney miss that?

No changes???

OK Kirk, just stop it!

Norway have taken Carew off. I suppose an injury is too much to hope for.

Well done Ericz, now don't be falling off that wagon.

That's why he should have played Lescott or Woodgate in the centre. Upson is a no-nonsense clogger who can't pass a football. I'm still gobsmacked he has started this match. Richards should have also started instead of Brown to give some impetus down the right. I could understand playing Brown against a dangerous team when a steadier, more defensive player might be needed and he doesn't want to leave us exposed on the flanks.... but we're playing Switzerland. In a friendly. i wouldnt say lescott is significantly better than upson at that, plus he's looked s**** at this level. ditto... i think Upson's experience helps alot. To be fair, Upson has a alright game. Regards, Ericz I guess that'll be a no then. >

Ericz, really is there any way we can talk you into dropping the regards? Sorry, but it annoys the hell out of me like.

Commentators on Freeview spent the last 5 minutes criticising England's play and formation. Then the goal go's in and apparently 'it was coming'.

Why? Was there a yodel element to it?

What would you change at half time, say three subs. Id go Richards-Brown, Crouch-Jenas & Young-Cole.

Evans OG for Norn Iron.

Other than Bentley, do you think the midfielders have been given set positions? They seem to be going where ever they like.

Commentators don't seem happy with the 5 in midfield so far.

Don't get me wrong, I'm English through and through (lived in N.Ireland nearly 12 years now). It's just there are too many of the starting 11 that I don't like.

I'm finding myself willing Switzerland on here. I'm enjoying Waddle on the commentary. I wonder if we will get a pelanty!

Also the change from a minutes silence to a 'moments' silence mean they are getting shorter and shorter.

Got it on Freeview now (Cheers Legacy). Who is on the bench?

Not got Sky unfortunately, believe it or not there is no reception here apparently. Can't find any regional BBC on freeview.

Looking for the same myself. The BBC Website is no good, that has the Norn Iron game on too. Edit: Looks like it could be on Star Sports. Can't for the life of me think how you may be able to watch that though.

I didn't realise quite how little Viduka had played.

Don't know about the 70's but it certainly brought back some good memories of Mark and Lard on Radio 1. Struggling to find much of them on Youtube though, I guess it was all audio.
