Aye, in the DOND thread in Chat. His first offer was a Newcastle shirt.

Confirmed. "Breaking: Met confirm Welsh fan in his 40s has died of head injuries following a fight outside Wembley - 6 supporters in custody."

Admin options!

Do Scotland ever comfortably win? Desperately labouring to a 1-0 win at home to Lithuania. Deary me.

How on earth did you manage that?

Cue abysmal comparison to Messi and Barca.

Blasczzkykzclalclzzalzalzacczzsssasazazaowski with the pen.

Russia 17 Ireland 15 Armenia 14 Slovakia 14 All played 8. Ireland have Andorra (0 points from 8) away, and Armenia at home. 6 points there and there's every chance they could even finish top. Russia have to go to Slovakia, could get beat. However Armenia, as well as going to Ireland in the final round of games, have Macedonia at home before that, so they'll also fancy their chances. Intriguing stuff.

In fact, Ireland are almost in the driving seat to top their group arguably! And Armenia have a serious chance of finishing in the top 2. Well there you go. Oh, and unlucky Matty.

Great result for Ireland like. Slovakia were in the driving seat after Saturday but now...

Well, at least Parker's coming on.

Scooortland 1-0 up.

I had San Marino +4 at 6/4 with paddy power, ridiculous odds! Nervy few minutes for you!

Slovakia 0-4 Armenia? The fuck?

Parked me backside on the edge of the seat. Could cut the tension with a knife when we were passing it around the back 4.

Barry, Lampard and Milner in some assortment of central midfield combination. Oh dear.

Think you've answered your own question there mate.

By role, you mean no pace and sideways/backwards passes? Can never have enough mediocrity. As I've already said, give someone like Cleverley a go in games like this. But no, Capello. Cling onto stuffy Barry, because he's solid and stuff. Thankfully, we have someone like Wilshere - albeit injured currently - who is the future, not Gareth Barry.

Somehow Ireland got a point there.

How the hell did he miss that?

Impressive match stats like.

I rate him and didn't want to get rid of him, but injuries have taken their toll. Last 12-18 months he's been off the boil so he's not as much of a miss as the media are desperately trying to make out.

a) I'd imagine Santos will be a first-teamer b) Don't think they'll build a full-strength team around Arteta but with injuries, and Rosicky and Arshavin's poor form, you have to imagine they'll be relying on him currently.

"So you think Cleverley and Parker are the future?" I can see it coming now.

Cleverley. I already said.
