England vs Bulgaria - ITV1 8pm

[Row Z Royal]

Obviously I'm years behind the times, but I didn't realise Mihaylov was the son of ours.


Anyway, Johnson is a complete turd and Dawson looks like his season's under threat with a fairly grim-looking knee injury.

I don't do knees /shudders.

Even Mrs H spotted Wiggy before I did - and commented on his syrup being even more outrageous than when he played for us.... and that the Mad Man should take some tips....

[Kitsondinho]

We should tell his son this was a Reading home game and that all these players are ours....Ohhh save Joe Hart!!

Big shakes to the camera man that did a close up on the girl in the crowd doing the d*ickhead gesture

A new take on 3rd Eye.

[cmonurz]

Good performance, Rooney came alive and was involved in all four goals, Defoe was the brilliant finisher we all remember from his Bournemouth days, and without fatty-boom-boom in midfield, we looked mobile and energetic, with Gerrard pulling the strings, and Walcott and Johnson busy down the right. Good stuff.

Terrific 1-0 win for Northern Ireland in Slovenia too.

Result of the night in Paris though.

FROFLance 0-1 Belarus.

And Cyprus have led twice, but it's 4-3 to Portugal now, after an hour.

4-0 to England.

Have money on it?

Tbf, first half solid but unspectacular. Early goal followed up by 45 minutes of domination yet no chances. Second half Bulgaria had to open it up in order to get something from it, something I suspect they knew would play directly into England's hands. 4-0 flattered slightly, and Tredder lost all his bets on 3-0, 3-1, 3-2, and Walcott first scorer

Who else saw dear old Boris on TV with his lovely wig on? Maybe we should sign his son!!

Dear old Boris, a Reading legend, well he was when his wig nearly came off during one game. He's done very well for himself as the record cap winner and now head of the Bulgarian FA. As Reading goalkeeper he was on a par with Simon Sheperd (remember him?). It looks like his son's hair has gone as well but he prefers the slaphead look to his dad's wig.

I do remember that game - against Southend I think (they were the only games I tended to go to at Elm Park, Southend being my home town) - checked his wig was ok before he held his knee. Boris's wig did look even more obvious today than it did in his Elm Park days

[cmonurz]

Now I wasn't sure how to spell our Boris' full name. But type 'Boris Mikhailov' into Google images. moderate safesearch on is disturbing enough.

[sheshnu]

wtf!

The breadth of humanity right there

[Super_horns]

Capello probably a god again in the press then tomorrow...

Heard Henry Winter say last night..

"Liked Capello before the World,but wanted him out afterwards"

Word fickle came to mind!

Anyway good showing tonight...Hart was excellent and Rooney looked like he wanted to be in the game.

Glad you spotted that. Yes, but only a fiver,
But helps for weekend bets. Had it at twelves.

There were/are some pretty compelling arguments to support Winters view there though, none more so than he largely proved he couldn't do the one thing he was brought in to do, improve our tournament winning prospects.

Woah.



NSFW!

[Handsome Man]

It's so different with Hart there. With James, you always felt we would let a goal in, and Green never looked like he belonged, but Hart currently has an air of invincibility - let's hope he can maintain this.

Lampard and Terry should do the decent thing and concentrate on their Chelsea careers.

[Terminal Boardom]

I thought that Gerrard and Barry were generally anonymous. Of the back 4, only Cole looked international standard. Wlacott was disappointing and Milner flattered to deceive. Thankfully, Shrek came to life in the second half but why did he keep dropping so deep? Defoe gets MoM purely on the basis of his 3 goals but had he not scored a 4th for England then the accolades would have gone to Joe Hart. At last we have a goalkeeper who understands his role and gives an air of authority over what he does. Hie save in the first half from Johnson's mistimed clearance was brilliant.

4-0 was a good result but were Bulgaria really any good? Bit like watching Reading v Preston last season.

[Skyline]

I see Bobby still has the poorly-fitting wig.

Who else saw dear old Boris on TV with his lovely wig on?

Bother reading the thread?
