Right you miserable buggers
England are playing Malta a guaranteed 0-3 away win for our boy’s in red.
As it is live on the TV here in Malaysia I will have to get up at 02:45 in the morning to watch it.
Will Southgate put out a team that will pass the ball forward now that Rooney is officially retired (actually retired about 5 years ago)
Will he put Hart in goal so that he gets some practice for West Ham ?
Bound to win, which on paper will make Engerland look great, but a poor team v a second tier team doesn’t make for great football.
For that reason I shall not be watching.
This is also the perfect opportunity to get me of the Saints thread starting duties 
No, no, no, no, no
England match threads are distinct and seperate from Southampton match threads.
I won’t be watching because it’s around the time I put the girls to bed and the missus is out.
We know what you meant but that’s kinda come out all wrong…
When is this game being played…home or away?
Malta’s a nice place, it would be a laugh to get beaten by them.
Friday night, 19:45 KO
Granty’s on “holiday” in Malta, so that’ll give a clue as to where it’s being played…
Ahhh right…Wem…berleee…Wem…berleee.
I can’t wait for this one!
I’ve already got my shirt and shorts on and lined up my England action men on Mum’s sofa and shut all of the cats in the drawing room - only 11 hours to go until the big game!!!
Grr grr, national pride, etc.
Let’s make the Maltese cross!
Wait, hold on. What day is it?
No panic…I’ve got Matty lined-up for the game…we can’t lose.
I like what you did there Papster.
Well I was rght about this bit
From the BBC
Away from transfers, England boss Gareth Southgate has declared that Joe Hart will be in goal for the next two games against Malta and Slovakia, keeping the emerging crop of young English keepers (Jack Butland and Tom Heaton) from breaking through.
Just turned on TV, Mata 0:0 Engerland
38mins
We look shit - commentators struggling to be positive
Turning TV off…
Edit: Mata could probably beat Engerland with one arm behind his back
As someone said earlier we are shit against quality sides, good against average sides and shit against rubbish sides.
Yawnfest so far.
Just woke up & turned the TV on If we cant break down this mob there is something wrong with the world.
But youre right Cobham we look shit
on a bright note putting Hart in goal was probably the right thing to do as he will face so little attacking play from the Maltese the he couldnt possbly let in a goal
Could he ?
It tells you all you need to know that Rooney would rather get pissed up and do the time then play in this shit.
Ingerlaaaaand Ingerlaaaaand…been out for a meal with friends and just got home.
Howzit goin’ lads??
I wish we had an emergency in the Engine room so I would get called away from the cabin and not be able to watch this.
Second half underway.
It is so slow its painful.
what they need to do is sit with the ball at the halfway line for 5 mins when the Maltese come up just pass it through them.
but that is not going to happen the will keep pushing up to the edge of the box with the maltese sat behind the ball ,
we will pass it arund for 5 mins and then try an incisive pass which fails and the Maltese clear it to half way and then we start again
shite
