Hodgson - I dont know why I'm here; smint?

[Muddled]

I think he's done it because he's scared of picking the big guns for the fear of having his buddies blasting him with the new season coming up.

Or at least, that's what I hope he's done it for. Unfortuantely, he'll get praise for it.

[Gingawaria]

Anyone else noticed that England are playing at the Wankdorf Stadium tonight?!?

[Muddled]

England are playing?

[Gingawaria]

Yeah, friendly against Italy.

[Muddled]

I thought that was next week or something.

Is it on the TV? I might switch it on if we are getting hammered.

[baitman]

hopefully andy carroll will play a blinder and have a trail of agents after him

[the rev leeroy brown]

hopefully andy carroll will play a blinder and kick on from there by returning to lfc and taking the league by storm

[baitman]

hmm, saw what you did there

yeh, we'd love it, but i think there is more chance of andy ****ting sovereigns.

[Cormack74]

I'm sure I read Aquilani's likely to play.

Watch him boss the game from start to finish.

[Fredo]

Hodgson has got the midas touch.

[rodo]

the soft **** just banged his head

[Buzzo]

Italy go 1 up.
...probably moving England up to second in the world now

[Tee]

One thing I have learned from tonight....Adam Johnson is not very good at all and certainly would not fit into the tiki taka style we want to play.

[BobTheCharmer]

from the bits I've been watching, england are playing it around nicely. its only a friendly and its dull as most international football is, but none the less a lot of these players are comfortable on the ball which is unusal to see.

[Muddled]

Just turned it on to see England only have ten players behind the ball. What gives?

Has Defoe gone rogue? Bloody liability.
