It's a real shame about Patterson because there is a decent player in there somewhere. Hopefully he can rediscover his form with Everton although it sounds like Ginger gravel gob's style of play/coaching has sucked the life out of him. Hopefully the source on the Brentford forum saying Hickey is back early-mid May is true because we need him. Lewis Ferguson looked bright and so hopefully he and Shankland start the next one. Maybe Dykes is the opposite of Samson as he seems to have gotten worse with longer hair. Shave it off again.

Could have been better. Could have been worse. We have a chance. It's the hope that kills you. Three things in life are certain. Death, taxes and England getting a plum draw.

The result in Oslo was absolutely massive. Had we lost then I doubt Haaland would have played against the Faroes last week and would most likely have been saved for yesterday. All in all an excellent campaign with a little bit of good luck in that we were without our key players for dead rubbers.

Rodri can jog on. Their diving and cheating in the first half was ridiculous and I'm glad we gave them a taste of their own medicine in the second. They got what they deserved and so did we.

They're such cheating gits. Milking any contact trying to get VAR checks and cards.

I ken but let's not give the ref or VAR the excuse to card our players.

Stupidity from Robbo who with his experience should know better. Could easily have been a red card. Yes contact was minimal but was needless.

If Labour can't beat the Tories at the next election given all that has happened then Starmer would have to step down anyway and it may be Tory England for ever more regardless.

Surely Sturgeon's best hope is for a hung Parliament at the 2024 general election and for Labour to rely on the SNP to form an alliance to oust the Tories. Starmer will always rule out a coalition but he may not have a choice if forming an alliance is his only hope of kicking out the Tories.

Maybe best to get one of the Norway games out of the way in June when Haaland is hopefully a bit rusty after having finished playing for City for the season. Wishful thinking perhaps.

Not sure what the humidity will be like but the temperature in Qatar in late November is usually 23-25C and so it's actually not too bad.

I said we 'could' be through if we win our first two games and didn't suggest this was likely. Was merely pointing out one scenario. I also said IF we get through (to Qatar) in the post I made just prior to the one you took the trouble to respond to but perhaps you missed that.

Are you saying there's no chance we could be through if we beat Iran and USA before we play England?

We would play USA then Iran before England so we could be through before the last game
