I hope this is a start of a sequence which will shut up that silly "drop gerrard" campaign....

It's silly to drop a player that hasn't performed for years?

Then drop the whole fucking England team then, more like Dumbo than fucking Kimbo - theres not been more than 2 or 3 players who have performed to a consistently high level for England....

Did i say i would drop the cockroach? I'm still undecided about whether to pick him or Lampard. I don't blame people who do want him dropped though, it's perfectly understandable.

GOOOOOOLAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOO from Iniesta and nice assist by Cesc

What a pass by Fabregas, good finish by Iniesta.

stream keeps crashing

anyone good a decent one?

1-1 Iniesta. poor back pass by Fellaini.

Though I shouldn't expect anything more from someone who thinks Stankovic is a good midfielder.

every time I see him he plays very well.

And another good chance, Villa lobs it over the bar.

Thank me for jinxing him. Spain have been poor so far.

Wonderful goal from Belarus.

All venables talked about was how poor England's pressure was yet we know that next time Arsenal score a goal exactly like that pundits will only talk of Wenger's magic

Heskey

Belarus goal was indeed quality.

Think all of the midfield have been poor, Barry has been getting loads of praise in recent games but in the last two I think he's been pretty poor. Walcott is proving that Croatia was a fluke, his crossing is diabolical, just kicks it into the box and hopes for the best.

Upson and Brown look really shaky as well.

Robbie Keane might be injured as well

Will have to see if he comes back out for second half

Don't expect that to change.... its always either Gerrard or Lampard to perform, never both.... besides Lampard only looks like hes been in the game when you look at the score sheet...

Belarus equalize

I think both Gerrard & Lampard are doing ok so far.... Barry and the defence, not so much. Belarus are playing very well, it was always going to be a tough away game.

You said that after 40 minutes of the game

Rooney and Heskey are superb as a pair.

Wanted to see that partnership for ages and in the last 3 games they've been class.

I think Heskey is in the last year of his contract too.... perhaps a sneaky bid by SAF? the mighty Dracula would have to be benched mind...

What happened on that equaliser? Did James call, or was the Orangeman hearing things? Why duck?

Before his injury problems, Stankovic was one of the best midfielders in Italy. At Lazio he was fantastic as well.

LOL.... "Heskey to Barry, Barry back to Heskey..... he err falls over"

Fellaini just heads wide. Good start of 2nd half.

Allez Belgica!

Alan Green is a c**t.

Iniesta with a great effort. thereafter Puyol had to clear a Vandenborre effort off the goalline.


Spain should count themselves lucky belgium's best attacking player, Dembele injured himself prematch. belgium only lack a decent attack now.

Belgium have been impressive in deed. Another lucky escape for Spain thanks to puyol's clearance off the line.

70' Smolarekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk 0-1

slovakia - poland 0-1

Decent defence so far from the Welsh, even if the Germans are now doing there best impression of Arsenal in front of goal.

0-0 after 60 mins

Waaaaaaaaaayne 'the next Pele' Rooooooooooney!

ZERO-ROOONEY

So he's scored more goals in this World Cup qualifying campaign than he had done in the previous 4 years, thank god he's been finally shifted out of his alleged preferred role.
