Just to clarify, did you mean pawn to E6 or E5 for your opening move? I'll correct the board if I have got it wrong...
Bish to C4 ... No worries Elfs - we've got until next Saturday to finish this off before the team plays a meaningful game of football again. I'll give anybody else a game by all means, but I'll have to clear it with the moderator I expect...
The moderator is a bit busy …. in another place.... at present Dave the chimp threw some brown stuff at a big fan and the moderator is trying to clear up a rather big mess.
There is always … Welling United V Weston Super Mare... WSM are bottom of the table but on a decent run at present W1 D2 of last three games
It’s killing domestic football. More & more fans are saying it. Rooney’s jolly in front of an empty Wembley Now the “crucial” group game v Croatia ...in truth ....nobody gives a fvck. Reform is badly needed before real damage is done.
At least you don't have to face the ignominy of watching your team lose to Albania, having already lost to Israel.
I would like to know why Rooney is not playing against Croatia, if he was good enough to be Captain against the USA.
If I never see another England friendly in my entire lifetime (another 50 years), I will not be unhappy Looking at Twitter over the weekend, more and more ordinary fans are waking up to the damage this absolute international dross is doing to domestic football. Apart from the FA, who have a mortgage on the awful new Wembley stadium to pay, who honestly gives a fvck about today's "big game" ?? Yesterday we would have been taking 2,000 plus to Portsmouth for an important domestic game. Now it will be a fiddly midweek fixture where our team will be fortunate to be supported by 800 fans. Ridiculous...and ultimately very counterproductive.
This new competition is the international equivalent of the checkatrade cup. Life was simpler when we had the League Cup, The Cup and The League, together with the European Cup, The Cup-winners' Cup and the Uefa Cup.
The late winner v Croatia apparently means England are now in the semi finals of this ****housery. Before the Nation grinds to a halt in anticipation, does this mean yet another international break soon
