I am here for the kick off but will miss the last part cuz i have to go chaperone a dance
COME ON ENGLAND
COME ON ENGLAND
England doesn't have Kane starting
The team is
Hart,
Clyne, Cahill, Jones, Baines
Henderson, Carrick, Delph, Sterling
Rooney and Welbeck
Who cares about Lithuania
Can Rooney overtake Sir Bobby?
He is three goals behind the United and England Great... I still don't think Wayne is
Quite a few red seats in the posh seats showing
And we are off
We have this on FS2 which isn't HD... very annoying
I think the clocks change this weekend across the pond
Slovenia host San Marino and Switzerland host Estonia
England have a six point lead so far
England have not created anything inside the first five minutes... except...now... Rooney one on one... hits the inside of the left post and goes across the goal
Should have scored
Welbeck started on the left, Sterling on the right and Rooney down the middle
First time in a year and half that Carrick has played for England
GOAL!!!!!
Welbeck gets a decent shot off, saved by keeper but Rooney heads in the rebound
47 and counting
6 minutes in
England are, as normal these days, are in all white
I prefer the dark blue shorts
England scoring chart
Sir Bobby Charlton 49
Gary Lineker 48
Wayne Rooney 47
Jimmy Greaves 44
I think Kane should have played today.
It is deserved more than Welbeck
Hiya, UWS - great to have you on board. I'm just back from my meeting and am dialing up the match on Fox Sports 2 Go.
Welcome back BD
ruddy meetings!
ruddy dances!!
Great to hear that Roon has got off to a quick start. You forgot to add that "O.G." is officially the fourth top scorer for England on 45 goals.
Sorry, I forgot you said that
I'm reasonably happy with the line-up, given all of the injuries. Sturridge in particular seems to be made of fine crockery these days.
Slovenia have taken the lead at home to San Marino
I suspect that eventually O.G. will overtake all others and will officially be England top striker.
Spain scoreless at home to Ukraine
Oh - Roon has hit the bar! So close to his 48th! Great effort.
Rooney hits he second section of the woodwork!
He's hit the left post and now the crossbar
From your notes, it seems that Roon could have already had a hat-trick. Cor!
foul on Phil Jones
He is an idiot!
I don' t know how has been able to wear two shirts that I would die to wear.... United and England
He should have scored the first chance that he hit the inside of the post. It was a chance like his goal against Spurs... didn't hit this one well
Welly seemed to be blocked off illegally there. Should have been obstruction called. The Lithuanians seem all at see.
Also in Group E, Slovenia are 1-0 over San Marino and Switzerland are 1-0 up over Estonia.
England should be attacking them more and faster
Useless effort by Henderson
Too slow and methodic
I don't like the modern game!!!!
Come on ENGLAND!!!
The Lithuanians are certainly inviting England onto them.
Baines slices another shot over the bar from an acute angle. Lots of chances for England.
Lith creating some chances!
Slovakia are still top of Group C, 2-0 up over Luxemburg today, while Spain are leading Ukraine 1-0.
You know that England will run out 2-0 or 3-0 winners today, no probs. It may not be exciting but we'll have a perfect record, unlike a lot of the bigger sides.
A flash of Harry Kane warming up - lovely. I'd love to see him given 20 minutes or so.
Oh - Henderson blasts one wide - ref had blown his whistle anyway. Free kick England.
Free kick chance for Rooney just outside the D
Baines or Rooney
The ref had blown up just before Hendo hit a shot wide
Roon looks hungry - he wants that record. I can't see Roon giving this one up.
arty farty camera work.. up steps Rooney... saved
Roon splits the wall but it's straight into the keeper's arms.
Rooney has become the first England player to hit the woodwork twice in a game since June 2010
Lamps did it against Germany in the WC... he also 'scored' from that shot ten feet over the line!
Could England have scored four goals there!!!!
Welly hits one over the bar
Oh - Welly bursts through and wellies it over the bar. He seems much more dangerous a striker now that he's at Arsenal, don't you agree?
Welly goes over a knee in the box. Penalty? No - ref not interested.
Agreed
Has another chance and goes down like a sack of spuds
TWO NIL!!!
Welbeck gets a lucky deflection fore the goal
I think it might be an OG... almost tied with Rooney
Last bit of action
Not too exciting by England
They should be going for the throat
We were at Wembley when they beat Luxembourg 9-0!!
The Russian keeper hit by a flare in Montenegro
Not good
Teams out for the second half
England two up but still not happy about performance
Of course... all the red seats are empties
Damn Prawn Sandwich Brigade
Rooney chips it to Delph... nice volley ... great saved
Fantastic - great to see that O.G. has put us 2-0. What a star!
five minutes in and those plonkers are still at the Wembley Club bar!
Good afternoon, Bob and Dave. I am here to join you for the remainder of the match.
Still giving it to Welly
Why are England playing with four at the back AND Delph and Carrick
GO FORWARD
I see that England are two up
Welcome MUR
I'm off soon to my stupid dance but I'll be here for a while longer
Rooney scored early
Hit the inside of the post and the crossbar on two other occasions
England second a last kick of the half deflected header by Welbeck... could have been a OG
Still not happy with performance
Too slow
The keeper pushes a near post effort from Wellie around for a corner.
Thanks for the update. I'm not sure if I'm staying for the entire second half. School ends in just under ten minutes and I'm really ready for the weekend.
This is too slow
Just passing around the midfield... I really dislike the modern game
Sounds like a decent England performance unless the opposition are just that poor.
Welly officially given the goal
Top scorer in Europe for this campaign
It looks like Lithuania are in damage limitation mode.
That's scary.
Stay up Wellbeck... I HATE IT
Welcome, MUR!
Welly goes over in the box - looked like a dive to me.
Wellie wanted a penalty. Not enough contact for me.
Goal
Rooney sets up Sterling
His first England goal
GOAL! Sterling taps in #3 for England, his first for the side.
GOAL !!! STERLING GIVES ENGLAND A 3-0 LEAD.,
Great ball over from the skipper and Sterling did well to ghost by his man.
3-0 Three Lions!
Nice cross from the right by Roon and a tap in for Sterling
ooh, almost an identical goal..
Roon and Sterling don't get a touch
Should have been a corner
Oh - nearly #4 for England. Another dangerous ball over from Welly and neither Roon or Sturridge could reach it.
Sterling nearly added another off a cross from Wellie
Slovenia have knocked four past hapless San Marino this evening. The Swiss are 2-0 up. Predictable results, really.
Good afternoon, Bob. Welcome back to the action.
I agree. A predictable score at Wemberley too.
Really impressive qualifying record for England now. They'll have racked up 24 matches without defeat, that's 5 and a half years since they last lost a qualifier. Do either of you know which one that was?
I keep on getting interrupted by irritating graduate students. It's the first day of registration for them.
I'm not sure . I'm thinking they lost 1-0 to Ukraine in a WC 2010 qualifier, but had already clinched qualification and weren't too arsed about the match
Sorry Bob. You should tell them to wait till the end of the England match
Our students are going home for the weekend . I will once my England duty ends.
I wish I could!
Another great fizzing ball over. Tight offside call.
Kane coming on for England's debut
Hurrah! Harry Kane to get his debut!
Hope he knocks one in.
Carrick coughs one up but the Lith striker wellies it well over.
England have never lost a qualifier in the month of March
A bare chested Harry Kane is getting ready to come on for his England debut. It's the perfect time : three up against weak opposition.
I bet you wish the World Cup would be held in March.
Still no Kane... make the move
I can only imagine what salacious comments Dirty Old Man Pleat will have when he sees Harry Kane is coming on.
A Lithuania player with a shiner has just come on as a sub. Was he in a scuffle at the local pub?
Plodding approach work now from England.
Fortunately , the volume doesn't work properly on the school computer.
Ross Barkley is warming up too. Great to see that Woy wants more goals.
Yeah - too right. Pleat's routine might get you in trouble, mate.
I want more goals and all!
England just passing around going no where.. their subs waiting must be really ticked off!!!
I remember by NCAA game as a freshman... waited to get on for 20 minutes... one minute remained!!
I agree. They might get only ten minutes at this rate.
FInally a stoppages!
Kane and Barkley coming on for Rooney and Henderson
Delph is penalized for a tackle that looked "all ball" to me. And that's the cue for Henderson and Roon to come off. Kane and Barkley on.
Love to see him score tonight to open up his account
Play is stopped by a foul. Ross Barkley is on for Henderson . Harry Kane is on for Roon. I'm surprised to see him coming off. The locals are delighted.
Great ovation for Harry Kane now.
I''m not sure if Delph is really good enough to play for England.,
Pleat is making too much of this!!
He's a regular player... stop talking about his teacher
RUDDY NORAH... HE'S SCORED!!!!
GOAL! HARRY KANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4-0 England!
Wow!
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! HARRY KANE SCORES SECONDS INTO HIS DEBUT . A NICE CROSS FROM THE LEFT BY STERLING AND THE KEEPER HELPED BY PUSHING HIS HEADER ACROSS THE LINE.
Great ball stood up to the back post. Simple back post header that the keeper couldn't keep out!
Wow!
Great trickery by Sterling as he wins a corner.
Oh - brilliant stuff from Sterling there. Deserved a goal. He's had a great performance coming on at the half.
Oh - Kane was nearly in there again!
The corner is not cleared and Wellie has a close range effort blocked by the keeper.
Came on at 71:10 scored at 72:29
I'm glad I don't have to listen to Pleat. I can faintly hear his voice.
I think Pleat has just offered up his virginal daughter to Harry Kane.
I thought he scored less than a minute after coming on, but 79 seconds is a really impressive debut.
The last roll of the dice for Woy of the Rovers as Theo is on for what looks like Sterling.
I think Pleat's daughter lost her virginity may moons ago. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Can you believe Kane scored with his second touch... USELESS
Great run by Kane but the ball was poor. And followed by a poor cross in.
Another great run by Sterling but he earns a yellow with a wild lunge.
Sterling is fouled in the D and a Lithuanian player fakes injury to try to avoid a booking and doesn't succeed.
A decent striker would have scored with his first touch.
A bit harsh, MUR.
Slovenia are five up vs San Marino while Slovakia are three up vs Luxembourg .No surprises there
I was trying to complements' UWS'S earlier statement.
That's it for me boys
I am off
Have a good weekend
TTFN
I know - just being sarky.
Spain are one up in a reign vs the Ukraine.
Oh - great move by England, deserved a better finish than Fab Delph.
Just wide by Delph. A goal from the LUFC Academy would have been nice.
Cheers UWS. Have a great weekend.,
I probably was too. Kane is grabbing the headlines as is. Everyone accept Gooner fans should be pleased and perhaps they may be too.
Delph is the latest O'Leary Babe to get an England cap btw. Of that famous team, we've had:
Paul Robinson
Jamie Milner
Alan Smith
Jonathan Woodgate
Aaron Lennon
And now Delph.
A STAAR is born?
I thought Delph was post O'Leary or was he in the under tens at that time. He deserves credit if he was.
Oh - Kane held up the ball well and laid off for Theo but he had strayed offside.
A North London combo as Kane passes to Theo , whose shot was comfortably saved, but he was offside.
He and Lennon were in the youth side during O'Leary's tenure.
Austria are four up in a local derby at Liechenstein and Sweden are one up in Moldova. Monte are holding Russia 0-0 at the half.
Nearly time's up now. Maybe time for another goal to add a cherry on top?
Corner now to England. Let's 'ave another one, boys!
Then that definitely counts. Perhaps Leeds were too hasty to get rid of O'Leary.
I agree. We should celebrate with a fifth if England score a fifth,
And now a free kick opportunity. And a yellow.
Probably the last good chance for England. Come on!
Oh - I could definitely use a stiff drink right about now.
Lithuania have been getting more cards than passes or shots on goal. Do they think they are at the Hallmark store?
I have some summer shandies in the fridge . I will celebrate a good evaluation and a generous summer camp scholarship.
Boom boom, MUR! Well in at the end of the match.
As soon as the final whistle blows, I'm headed home .
Great news, mate. Well done!
Cheers mate.
Thanks mate.
Me too - that's it. TGIF and well done England. Woy is happy and so am I. It's been great, lads. More of the same to come against Italy I hope.
Cheerio!
Cheers mate. Have a great weekend . it was great chatting.
