England v North Macedonia

[ClaretsPadiham]

Anyone going to Old Trafford tonight ?

Few mates going, always a better atmosphere when they play around the country. Gives fans who wouldn’t normally get the chance to watch the national team a chance to watch them.

Was so good early 2000s when they played all over at different grounds, that’s how it should be.

Unsure if we should have put the National stadium in the middle of the country, Birmingham way perhaps. Although I do like the National stadium to be in the capital City.

Anyway 3-0 England tonight.

Speaking of national stadiums... I went travelling through that way three or four years ago. (Macedonia, not Manchester.) Went to a cup game. FK Vardar (most successful Macedonian side although recently relegated) were at home - the national stadium. Me and probably two hundred others in a 40,000 stadium but they made a right racket. At full time I dawdled out, took my chance, a bit cheeky, and walked to the centre circle. Got chatting to a bloke taking the nets down. Anyway, nice place is Macedonia.

Macedonia always reminds me of Sid Waddell and his famous quote "When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer … Eric Bristow's only 27 ..."

Mrs Clarets4me - " Why is there no South Macedonia ? " .... Me - " There is, it's known as Greece ... I thought you used to be a Travel Agent ? "

I'm told I'm now watching the game upstairs on the bedroom TV ....

[ClaretsPadiham]

Gazza shaking like mad.

[Flying Without Ings]

Some of the pundits/commentators said this'll be a tougher test but they seem worse than Malta these lot.

[Bosscat]

Wasn't that foul started outside the area Great pen by Kane though

[Whitgord]

Not a pen for me

[Bosscat]

Not a pen for me

Wouldn't have been given if it was for BFC Gord m8

Conner Gallagher, always makes me think of and Ian Moore always looks like he is a going to get a bag full, yet I don’t expect him to score whenever he gets a chance. Thoughts?

absolutely undeserving of his place in the squad, needs to leave Chelsea and play football to get back to the level he showed at Palace
