    Robbie Brady scores for ROI - dare I suggest he's not being deployed in a LB role? <doh>

    Pleased to see Aguero could get a 3 match ban for his actions on Sunday, but let's hope the FA applies the same rules to ALL teams/players.

    How comes he plays so much better for ROI than he does for us. Could it be down to how he's managed ?

    I reckon we might have to wait another 15 years before we can replicate it!
    Especially now Milner has retired from internationals :emoticon-0106-cryin

    A couple of snippets from the BBC website - Aguero gets a 3 match ban for using his elbow on Sunday and Butland faces another 2 months out and I think Stoke are really missing him. He certainly denied us a couple of goals last season.

    For his sake (Butland) I hope he gets back to his best and not suffer in the way that JR has since his lengthy injury break! <ok>

    So boring without Football today.

    I might have to make myself watch the England game for the Big Sam Debut. I'm interested to see our style of play and formation.

    If you watched the game at the Portaloo a fortnight ago you'll have a pretty good idea of what's in store ;)

    I bloody hope not!

    I think he should make us a lot more solid at the back and better with set-pieces.

    I think Sam gets an unfair deal. He can set up to attack. I'm interested if he is prepared to be more bold and attacker. He's got the whole country on his shoulders now.

    Was just going to mention this, it's on ITV.
    But it seems he's starting with eight (8) of the same team that lost so abjectly to Iceland not so long back <yikes>
    That kind of dampens my enthusiasm somewhat - what the hell happened to 'a new broom sweeps clean?'

    He's given his starting line up already? Or just paper talk?

    I was thinking I would start Hart, just for confidence, and play Heaton for the Second half. I wouldn't play Kane. Sterling and Rooney have started the season well. Lallana I'd probably play. I'd want to have Drinkwater from the start, don't know who for. Maybe Henderson. I dn't know who I would start instead of Kane...Maybe Vardy.
