Teams out on the field now. The side that picks itself, maybe minus either Foden and Mount is what Gareth went with.

Struth...Scotland started well but almost conceded!!

2:50 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

I hadn't heard. You having a great time?

2:50 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I just wish teams would start on the front foot...so many want to just pass around forever

2:51 PM

I'm not there!!
I wish I was!!!

Is that JHJ?

2:55 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Come on England TOO slow!!

2:55 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

They are touring with Level 42

2:55 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Kane didn't bury that????? What is up with that bloke?

2:56 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

And again? What was that?

2:57 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Just sent a vid of L42

2:58 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

I remember those guys. Nice to hear that they're still around.

2:58 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Kane bringing his Spurs for to England!!

2:58 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Thanks. I'll peek at it during the half.

This is not the start I was hoping for. I didn't like the Magyars this summer, but they threw their weight around well.

2:59 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Still scoreless in the Faroe Islands

3:00 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Does their keeper still wear a bobble hat? I liked that and found it as comic as Southall's trackies.

3:04 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Of course, England lost to Hungary at Wembley 3-6 in Nov 1953. Hungary followed that up with winning in Hungary 7-1 in May 1954
But my main memories of England vs Hungary was the '82 World Cup qualifying.
England won in Budepest 3-1. One of the goals was Brookings shot that stuck into the top corner of the net.
Then at Wembley after England were given a reprieve when Romania lost at home to Switzerland(?)..the BBC showed the England Hungary game live.... Mariner scored the only goal almost tripping over the ball knocking it in

3:06 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Great save by Gordon and then a save off the line!!
COME ON YOU JOCKS

3:08 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Grealish....absolutely rubbish cross

100 million!!!!1

3:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bloody Hell...Shaw has a high boot...in the book....Ref gives a penalty

3:10 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Lazy defending

3:10 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Maybe this will wake England up!!!

3:10 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Bollocks. A shoulder high challenge and the Mag's are awarded a pen. Not good

3:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Pickford trying to play mind games...just get back to your line and try to save it


One nil Hungary

3:11 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

And there it is. England behind for the first time I can remember recently.

3:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I so wish keepers didn't get....REACT.... You spend the entire game reacting to shots...some from point blank range



TRY AND SAVE IT!

3:12 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I can't remember when they were last behind
Nations League semi?

3:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

England still too slow

3:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

too much passing around the back

3:13 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

I don't like that call. In the replay you can see that Nego's dipped his head into the challenge. If his head is as low and in the way, it should be an obstruction and called the other way.

3:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Andorra ahead in San Marino
Still scoreless in the Albania Poland match

Now Kane goes down in the box.... ref says no

3:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

England needs two wins to qualify
They host Albania and visit San Marino

3:15 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Mr. Hernandez isn't making any friends in England tonight as he ignores that Kane got tagged in the box.

3:16 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I agree with you about the pen

3:17 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Have England had a shot on goal.... 30 minutes gone!!

3:17 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Useless free kick effort by McTom

3:18 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Thank-you. That was dangerous play on the part of Nego.

3:18 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Varane has a groin injury....out a "few" weeks

United are screwed with him and Mags out with a big run of games against some big uns

3:18 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Grow up Grealish....this ref will book you!

3:19 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Lindeloff and Jones!!!
YIKES

3:20 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

This is the side I remember from the Summer. Full of nasty niggly fouls. I'm just glad that they didn't bring that brute with the Alice band.

3:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Absolutely rubbish free kick by Foden....didn't get higher than the defender's knees

3:20 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Uh-oh. That's a loss with both of them out.

3:21 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Has any England player done anything?

Free kick chance for England...bit of a dive by Mount

3:21 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

To no one!!

3:22 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Does every England attack have to go thru all four defenders before they go forward !

Throw in to England...has gone back and forth TWICE with the back four

3:23 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

It was a foul but another dive by Grealish

3:23 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

It's a very disjointed performance. A little unfortunate to play a physical side in the third match of this cycle when players are tired.

3:24 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

GOAL!!!

England's first attempt on target!! Stones directs the ball into the net from a Foden free kick

3:24 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Wahey. A dangerous cross and Stones finishes. He's useful on set pieces.

3:24 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

But I want a lot more threat from Sterling, Kane, and Graelish than they've offered up to now.

3:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Isn't this only England's second match?

3:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Again...Stones hasn't played a single minute for Citeh this season

3:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Foden looked impressive in the middle against Andorra...wish he played there tonight

Grealish.....stop faffing about with it...SHOOT

3:28 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Maybe so. It was Andorra just the other day. I may be imagining another game.

3:28 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

At least we're getting some set pieces off these bruisers.

3:28 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Another free kick....geez...straight to the keeper

3:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That was a good first touch by Grealish to get behind...out for a corner

3:32 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Poor corner by Shaw

Scotland go into the half scoreless in Faroe Islands

3:33 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sterling with a back post header saved....rebound....hopeless

3:33 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Sometimes I forget that Jack is like that Bon Jovi song; Halfway there and livin' on a prayer.

3:34 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

England cannot qualify tonight officially but if they win here and the Poland Albania match ends in a draw
England would be 6 points up on Albania with two games to go. England's goal difference would at least +22 and Albania's would be +5

3:35 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Nice one Steve

3:36 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Portugal are 3-0 up at ht vs Luxembourg
Goals by Ronaldo, Ronaldo and Bruno.....get them off!!!

3:37 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Luxembourg are. obliging that way.

3:40 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Scotland are underway again

3:48 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

England coming out for the second half...lots of giggling as they come out...YOU'RE NOT WINNING!

3:49 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Off we go

Come on England
Come on England
Come on England

Corner to England

Blogger United We Stand said...

Corner punched away

3:52 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Come on England...EXCITE ME!!

3:53 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Grealish goes diving again!!

You had him beat!! Why dive!!!

A corner, not a free kick, given

3:53 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

So many England players are just flopping down whenever they get touched!!

3:54 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Shaw heads away a cross... Grealish knocks it straight back to him....GET IT OUT!

3:55 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Robertson with a useless modern day cross!!
To absolutely no one!!

3:55 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Shaw with an awful pass

3:56 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Scotland pushing more in the second half but still goalless

3:56 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Corner to the Hungarians

3:57 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

England having a dodgy few minutes at the back right now

COME ON!!

3:57 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Everyone mentions the 3-6 in '53 and never follow it with the 7-1 in '54

Sterling with a chance to cross....to no one

3:59 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Andorra two up in San Marino

4:00 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Has Mount or Rice done a thing so far


Kane and Sterling either

4:00 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Kane with a shot.... easily saved


England's passing has been so poor
So has their decision making
poor poor poor

4:02 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Kane with his patented touch and shot across the box and into the keeper's arms.

4:02 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Grealish gets to the ball..USELESS CROSS

4:02 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Rice has been defensively sound. Mount has been nothing but there's time

4:03 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Shouldn't Rice be more than defensively sound...be part of the attack as well

4:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Someone is about to come on

4:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sterling....can't get the bloody ball over!!!

4:06 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Stones nearly with a second!

4:06 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Stones inches from giving England the lead

4:06 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Saka on for Jack.

4:07 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Grealish off for Sako

4:07 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

SakA

4:07 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Grealish looks pissed about coming off

4:08 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Nothing came of Jack's tricky flicky stylings. He should be a little disappointed. He could take that back to the Etihad for a few matches for my taste.

4:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Too much passing and then a poor pass and we lose possession

4:10 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The final ball is not there!!
Mount with a chance to find two teammates and it gets cut out

4:10 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

20 minutes for Scotland to find a winner

4:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I hate the two defenders in the box for a goal kick!
Boggles my mind...just putting yourself under pressure in your own box!

4:14 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Rashford! Pillock!

4:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Kane plays in Sterling....FINISH IT!!

RUBBISH

4:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

?

4:15 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Tell me about it. Arsenal have had lots of trouble doing that. Even with Ramsdale in the nets, I hate it.

4:16 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

England just passing it without any point... and Shaw loses it

4:17 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

OOOPS. I meant Raheem but autocorrect has another idea.

4:17 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Hungarian corner cleared

COME ON ENGLAND

4:18 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

ahh.....well I agree with you 100%...PILLOCK

4:18 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

What is with Kane?

4:19 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Hendo for Mount?

4:19 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Kane....hopeless

He was offside anyway


His form has been rotten...if it is all because he couldn't make a move then that is very unprofessional!!



4:19 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Such a simple pass by Rice sent Foden so wide!!


Two changes

Kane coming off for Tammy A
Sterling off for Henderson


Not exactly positive changes there!!!

Taken off Kane, Sterling and Grealish!

4:21 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Poland have taken the lead in Albania

4:22 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Poland are now only three points behind England
4 behind in goals

4:22 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

England have just over ten minutes to make it all right

COME ON!!


TRY

4:24 PM

Free kick... foul called

FYI... Result....EFL Trophy... Newport 3 Arsenal 4

4:26 PM

Arsenal Academy that is

4:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What is up with Stones...hardly touched

4:27 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Is that our women? Yeah, they're dead good.

4:28 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Scotland have scored in the 86th minute

4:28 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

England could have fallen behind!!

4:28 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

The Academy? Oh, that's much better.

What a let-off. I don't like that breakdown in concentration one little bit.

4:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Phew!!

4:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

3-2 down!

So the Jocks have pulled themselves together and lead against those wee Vikings?

It counts

CR7 with a hat-trick

England's crosses.....GRRRRRRRR

4:32 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Why was the Poland match abandoned?

4:32 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

McTom in the book...too much of a hot head!!

4:32 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I have no idea!

4:33 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Not feeling Abraham as Kane's back-up. Next candidate please.

4:34 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

4 added minutes under the arch

4:35 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Still going sideways...and then poor pass

4:35 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Tammy A straight off...Jose won't be pleased

4:37 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Albanian missiles thrown at Polish players. Somebody got hit and the ref sent the Poles to the dressing room for safety.

Abraham has to limp off. No great loss. Watkins should have been on instead.

4:37 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Match is suspended... right now

4:37 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

I live for little Joe's displeasure.

4:38 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Get in the box!!

4:38 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

STILL just passing it around the midfield and then a hopeless ball into the box


MORONIC

4:39 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That's it

England were pathetic and didn't deserve any more

4:40 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Scotland have won

4:41 PM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Stupid foul just plays into their timewasting. And that's it. Disappointing game. No-one up front stepped up to grab ahold of this one. OK, that's me. I have a wedding this weekend so I'll miss Saturday. Cheerio.

4:41 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

England still in pole position
They would need one win from Albania or San Marino

4:42 PM

Take care Steve

Sorry to miss out on the chat today due to teaching, but I'm not sorry that I missed the drab performance. Gareth has quite a few issues to sort out before Qatar.
