Very much looking forward to this. No concerns, no worries, no negatives, just a nice thread about a new England coach. A thread for people who will be watching the game.

Same here, will be in the pub and I assume it’ll be on so may catch some of it.

I do support England and enjoy the big tournaments but these breaks depriving me of club football just end up making me feel fed up with the whole international carry on :D

The OP stressed it's a thread for people who will be watching the game. Everybody piles in saying meh, might watch it, going to the pub.
Why did you post if you aren't watching it?
I'm looking forward to it, and let's see if TT can finally get the England team over the line next year.

Only fatboy47 and RileyBobs failed and neither of their IQs are above the national average.

My IQ is high enough to identify you as factual Frank from your first post, so what does that say about you?

Just because somebody can spell correctly it doesn't make them a previous poster. That's your only response. No: I'm my own person thanks!!

Your IQ is below 100.

Their pressing is because they are scared to death of us. We can attack these more.

Albania's defence is poor. Trafford can sit on his arse for 45 minutes.
