Is Sturgeon off to court to get the result over turned or threatening an independence vote if we don't give the Scots 2 out of the 3 points?

I'm worried. She's not threatened to throw another independence referendum at all this week.

Is she ill?

I know that Steptoe won the penalty but his 'controlling' touch was fecking shocking. Wouldn't have surprised me had the ref not given it because he was no longer in control of the ball.

Best part of it all was the ball from Lalana. Perfection.

Oh it was. Absolute perfection, yet Steptoe still fecked it up. He's absolutely shot for confidence just now.

Well, you could almost feel that waiting to happen. Got real sloppy in possession and that last second goal through the keepers legs..(the only place it could have gone and scored) was pathetic, and a comfortable lead with ten minutes to play and two goals up becomes a draw.......and you have Bolton's story for the last three seasons. Such is life.....

First half we played well enough and took it to them. Bags of energy and desire and a good goal and a penalty. Second half we let them do what they do best, possesion and an immaculate passing game that is deadly around the box. We got sloppy and Rashford was no subsitute up front, he couldn't stay on his feet. Did I actually see Jagielka in there?

So, does Southgate get the job? As far as I've seen we've been utterly fecking shit under his tutelage.

They'll give it to him, we'll sleep walk our way through qualifiers and then embarrass ourselves at the tournament. Rinse and repeat. I gave up caring years ago...

The FA will regret disposing of Sam for next to nothing.

Actually after that debacle with Sam, I really cannot be arsed watching England, more so in a friendly.

Southgate, total fecking ponce!

About where I'm at. I do think Sam would have got the best out of a limited and ever decreasing pool of players. Southgate might as well have a bash at it for all it's worth

Nothing against Southgate but he's a typical FA bore appointment.
I agree that Sam should still be in the job.
Not heard much about all the saints at the FA pursuing him for anything concrete, nor the police for that matter (who were mentioned amid the inital melodrama of it all).

Ref that L.E, the surprising thing is, knowing Sam's temprement, that he didn't jump up and fight back. It's what an innocent man would do, surely..

Shoots his mouth off it may jeopardise future employment, that's the way the world turns.

His future employment prospects are surely none too bright right now after being sacked as England manager for supposed dodgy dealing?

From yesterday's game;

Newcastle fans to Leeds - "Jimmy Savile, he's one of your own"
Leeds fans response - "Jimmy Savile, He's F@cked Ant & Dec"
