Hopefully it's a good game. The Swiss will want to confirm qualification as soon as and will hopefully bring it to the England team. Could be a decent test.
 
Other games of interest tonight...

Macedonia v Spain
Slovakia v Ukraine

Spain should move closer to qualification while their two rivals take each other on in Zilina (yes, THAT Zilina of Trencin away fame). There's a decent chance that all three will go straight through from this group, particularly if Ukraine win.

Sweden v Austria
A draw will take Austria over the line. Sweden are a point ahead of Russia - but Russia really should take 9 points from their last 3 games, so I reckon Sweden MUST win tonight if they want to avoid the playoffs. Nail-biting time for Febbos...
 
Now we've qualified, and we're at home, let's see what we can do please Roy.

Let 'em loose. No more borefests. Let's get the country excited again.

That's what I'm hoping for.

Play Walcott and Chamberlain out wide. Bomb forward at every moment. Just go for the jugular.


For ****s' sake Woy, try something different. The fact you've still got the job is amazing, make the most of it.

I have a good mate from North Wales that thinks Woy is the best manager that England have ever had, he thinks he should stay in charge forever.
 
So who's willing to guess Woy's thinking tonight? My money is on just two changes from Saturday: Cahill in for Stones, and Sterling in for Vardy.

Maybe Delph will get a start too, and perhaps Gibbs will get a go at LB. But who knows.

Nah. Wholesale changes.

It'll be the first team tonight.

Given that Wilshere and Henderson are out, along with Lallana (and of course Sturridge and Welbeck), Saturday's team wasn't as far from the first team as you might think.
 
Oh dear, Smalling is in, alongside Cahill.

Delph replaces Barkley and Sterling comes in for Vardy.

I spoke to someone on my hols who said woy definitely voted yes for the name change! " I don't see what's wrong with it? " was his quote.
 
England's CBs in these qualifiers:

Cahill Jones
Cahill Jagielka
Cahill Jagielka
Cahill Jagielka
Cahill Jones
Cahill Smalling
Stones Jagielka (San Marino)
Cahill Smalling

I fear it's looking like Smalling is now preferred to Jagielka.

Out of all those CBs used, Smalling should be bottom of the list by a ****ing mile.
