Just glad the BBC retained rights for the Football League Show and Late Kick Off, quality programming!

Agree on Norton. However the Beeb when they lost the rights to broadcast every race apparently saved something like 20-30 million (they'll likely waste it on something else).
Despite the divide on opinions that Hansen and Clarkson cause they are part of 2 of the beebs most profitable programs commercially (MOTD, Top Gear), so it could be argued that they are worth how much they are paid.
Climb the pipe to the train or you'll go insane, wut wut.

8-)
Still, I support his decision to pull out, for the following reasons:

1) England treated him shabbily. He was not picked for the Euros, while Terry was, as if it was Rio's fault that his brother was racially abused by Terry.

2) When Cahill (a defender) was injured, Jordan Henderson (a midfielder), was called up to replace him, instead of Rio, which was an insult to Rio, to say the least.

3) Man Utd treated him much better than England, so I fully support his decision to tell Hodgson to sod off, and go to Qatar as a commentator....

Looking forward to an actual match tomorrow night, because Friday night's walk in he park was actually boring after we went 1 up.

Montenegro ramping up the rhetoric.

They aren't bothered about the pitch because England are a long ball team

Rooney's temperament will be tested

Nothing to worry about from a team who pick defenders who don't even make the starting XI at their clubs

I tend to agree with the last part, but I'm looking forward to England giving them a bit of a thrapping, tbh.

Didn't Bilic try something similar a couple of years ago?

Bilic did get a bit mouthy after Croatia knocked us out of the Euro 2008 qualifiers.

I think we will do well to take a point, but will be gladly be proved wrong.

If anyone is going to play anti football it's Montenegro so they can protect their 2pt cushion at the top. Sometimes the long ball tactic might have to be implemented in order to get through such dogged opposition.
