I'd take the next train Jack.

And that's right Jack, we somehow coached the talent out of him.

He's gonna come good at 4pm, Mac.

See you tomorrow.

Have a good one Jack.

If you can.

Morning All

Well that was a bit of suprise yesterday

Morning PSD.

We certainly stole that point.

We played rubbish but did so heroically.

We'll take it though.

Morning people. A surprise indeed PSD.

And Jack, even better with Armenia deciding to tonk Slovakia. Having said that, it does bring Armenia back in to it though.

Morning Mac.

Yeah, the Armenia result was a great bonus although in retrospect we might have been better off if they'd just taken a point. The win means they'll be coming to Dublin with plenty to play for in a few weeks.

Didn't see the England game. Just the goal and Earnshaw's miss.

Walcott injured apparently? There's a surprise.

Yeah, tight hamstring apparently. I think they meant to say 'dead' instead of tight.

I guess you'll just have to do the business against Armenia.

Earnshaw. Up there with Iwelumo's against Norway.

Iwelumo's was surely the funniest miss in history.

It took great skill to keep the ball out of the goal from there.

I'm guessing the best we can hope for is a playoff place in which we'll excel ourselves only to be beaten late on by an offside goal or a goal that never crossed the line or a goal scored with the aid of a double handball that the linesman sees clearly but doesn't give. Just like last time.

I doubt any other player could replicate what Chris did. And that shows off his talent.

Jack, it wouldn't surprise me if you the perceived easy draw and somehow mess it up. However if you ended up facing Scotland then both the nations would be trying to outdo the other on how to master a glorious failure.

Before England show how that is properly done in the actual tournament.

That all sounds about right, Mac.

But I can't help feeling there's no way Scotland will make the playoffs. Won't they need to beat Spain?

Although knowing Scotland they'll beat Spain and still manage to miss out somehow.

Czech Rep. also have to play Spain again too. It's just going to come down to the other two results probably.

I hadn't realised that. So Scotland are in with a genuine chance of getting hammered in the playoffs then.

Exactly Jack, I bet they can't wait.

Realistically, a team that goes with a 4-6-0 formation in the Czech Republic probably deserves a hammering anyway.

Any team that has Darren Fletcher in it.

Yeah, Mac. Forgot about that guy.

Nice to see his penalty miss yesterday.

Anyway, it's lunchtime and I've a site meeting aferwards so talk tomorrow.

Have a good one Jack.

Morning all.

Is this week never going to end?

Seems to have gone on forever.

Morning Jack

What do you mean never end - you had Monday off and a sight visit yesterday afternoon so you have been away near half of it
