Luxembourg going to get three points..... dont deserve to be here though, apparently

[Gingerfinch]

We've qualified

The much bigger question is, how will we do when we get there?

No standout teams emerging in the qualification. Got a few good younger players, could do pretty well

Won't get out the group stages, we can beat the minnows comfortably, but come up against some half decent team in a tournament with the pressure of the country on the players shoulders, they can;t cope.

Thought Rooney would have got at least a couple today.


No matter, job done.

Easiest £50 i've ever won. At least San Marino are good for something.

Did Charlton take penalties, mind you they were rarely given in those days.

What did you bet, 10k?

Good point. I would imagine Greavsie was the spot-kicker in those days.

Nah, 500 on England HT/FT. Hardly ever bet but thought this was basically free money.

Don't think he did? I'd imagine Greaves, or Hurst would have taken some, whilst Charlton played. I would think there were more easier games back then, though don't know. On the flip side, Sir Bobby did win the world cup.

Own goal also level on 49 goals with Rooney and Sir Bobby.

That is easy money, but I still wouldn't have risked it.

Me neither. It should be a cert but daft things can happen.
