I know there's many haters on here but I shall be watching with a lot of hope tonight. We've not performed for so long and at times through this group its been desperate to watch! I've got tickets for the Poland game on Tuesday so please make it worth my while travelling down to wembley!
I refuse to watch unless they ban that ****ing band.
Hieneken cup first round starts tonight, for that reason i'm out.
Tiiiiiiigeeeeerrrrrrs!!
Not me. Even the tournaments England are not worth watching as we can't get past the QF. Best thing would be for us to fail to qualify and have a total clear out. The fact is the Champions League is a 100 times better.

Word.
It annoys me when the interlull gets in the way of normal football, prem/championship/champions league etc, stuff.
With a reducing pool of English players playing in the top flight we will see English performances going rapidly downhill. Won't be long until free trade of players gets questioned and we go back to the good old days of only 3 foreign players allowed on the field at any one time.
Ps am not watching it as its just shite
Not me.
I just can't bring myself to care about them any more. 😕
Looks like its just me then and my slightly annoyed family!
wendyball
chavball
etc.
I'll be watching, hopefully occasionally jumping off the settee.
I'm not sure whether to watch or not. Wife's out for drinks with her friends so it me and the little ones at home tonite. It's a choice of either football or gta v once their in bed. Think gta will probably win
yup, i'm in.
it'll be painful.
it's always painful.
Not me as a hater, I would like to see them win though.
I will be watching, i still believe
COME ON ENGLAND !!!!!!!! 😀
I amazed anyone cares about the England football team anymore. Not me.
I shall be alternating between Poland's 2nd half and England's 1st. Happily, the scheduling means I can have a whole match of Artur Boruc fanboy/mancrush-ness then flick over in good time to see England desperately slamming long balls up to Rickie Lambert (an absolute waste of his talents) for the last twenty minutes. What is it about England players that as soon as someone big goes up front, they cannot resist but **** balls aimlessly?

You could win the majority of international matches with championship players, all you'd need was organisation, tactics and for the players to actually give a toss.
Plenty more saints players to come through and patch some holes though (once they finish in the top half and therefore become visible to England managers).
i'll be watching.
It's a great game, irrespective of whether it's international football (it'll end in disappointment). Or the local league 2 club (it'll end in disappointment).
Me. They might be a bunch of overpaid, over pampered prima donnas but they're MY bunch of overpaid, over pampered prima donnas, and for that reason I can't be out, I have to be in!!
Come on England! 47 years of hurt and still counting, but I still believe.
I'll be watching. Much as I enjoy league football and the CL, the World Cup is the pinnacle of the game. And it's in Braaziiiillllll 🙂
Predictions -
Mute button for the moments with Chiles.
Keane will have a face that makes Queen Victoria’s look like Timmy Mallet's.
England will win by two goals.
More importantly (for me) Belgium has just qualified for the world cup 🙂 🙂
I shall be watching

Is he the fella they are trying to get for 2015?

Romelu Lukaku, proving yet again, that Mourinho was right to loan him out to Everton. As he is not good enough to play for Chelsea. 😐
Forgot it was on... I'm gonna go and stick out on now. Cheers for the heads up!
mourinho is an odd fella isnt he
Would be a big hitter on here for sure but no mata or Lukaku is odd to say the least. His ideal team would probably have 1 keeper 4 john terrys and 6 midfielders
Not me, hope they lose, that way the country won't go mad for a few weeks and maybe we can have some other sports on the telly, cyclocross would be nice, belgium and dutch tv have good coverage.
I'll be watching, struggling to care though. I want to support my national team, just wish they made me feel that they were worth the effort.

Poland looking good against Ukraine 🙂

Even if we lose, I can't imagine a nation of football lovers (like it or not - we are) would go for watching such dull shit.

Don't know why, it would save you 30 minutes, compared to the 90 minutes of yawn inducinement that is football. We are told we are a nation of football lovers, I don't know anyone who actually likes it, no work colleagues or mates.
Will probably start watching, but I seem to have a low boredom threshold with football these days. If not much happening a switch to BBC4 may be on.
I'll be trying to watch but I wonder how long before my attention wanders.
Thing with this England (and every one since Euro 96), they don't know how to [i]entertain[/i] as well as occasionally win be several clear goals.
remember Euro 96, 4-1 win over the highly fancied Netherlands? And Paul Gascoigne juggling the ball over Colin Hendry before burying it in the back of the net? ah, those were the days.
so no one you know likes football
I find that hard to believe tbh and it is certainly atypically for the UK
I think if you asked folk to vote football would beat belgian cyclocross by a about 18 million or so votes
what if a person, like me for example likes both?
Can we have both or are we only allowed one?
I know literally hundreds of people who love football, from the typical feral scum you'd assume were football fans on account of them being worthless feral scum, to senior educationalists. (but there must be something wrong with them as they like football).
I don't really follow it, but I've been shocked that everyone *hopes* that we can beat Montenegro.
Is that where we're at now???
FFS Montenegro has only been a country for 7 years, and they're already as good as us at recruiting, coaching and training football players?
I'm in, with curry and a tin.

yugoslavia has, historically, been pretty good at football.
I'm in sadly without a beer, early shift tomorrow.

Fair enough, but Montenegro is only a fraction of it!
Not nearly as bothered as I used to be, but still enjoy the odd international when there's something at stake.
Ukraine winning 1-0 (Yarmolenko). Rubbish polish defending (not artur's fault)
Not watched England since South Africa. Maybe when they start to live up to the hype but I doubt it.
Don't believe the hype.
Come on Montenegro!!!!
poland should have scored 2 in the last 2 minutes. end to end stuff
that's pushing the definition of roughly.... and a population roughly the same as Bristol
Been watching but I'm bored now..... pub then 🙂
Dull and pedestrian as normal. Agree with others that international football is not a patch on champions league. What has well beck done for club and country to be the default England striker......?
This is decent from tonight though..
that's pushing the definition of roughly.
Well, Greater Bristol or the Bristol Urban Area then 🙄 😀
Watching us play Germany in the last World Cup, in a bar full of Germans, was the final straw for me. We play tedious uninspiring football rooted in the 1970's. It's dire! And the woeful standards on the pitch represent the frankly bloody awful state of the game in this country. We've got the team the FA deserve
Watch them grind out some dull, laboured uninspired draw against a supposedly second rate nation? I'd rather remove my own kidneys with a teaspoon!
Mike Oldfield Tubular bells on BBC4 at 9pm until 10.25.
Get some culture and forget the over paid numpties who aren't proud to pull on an England shirt
that's even worse.... and a population roughly the same as Bristol
City of Bristol 420k
Bristol urban area 1M
Montenegro 620k
It closest to the population of the Bristol urban area not be including the actual city.
Driving me nuts as usual! And since when was welbeck the striker 🙄
What has well beck done for club and country to be the default England striker......?
Probably not much, given that he's playing on the left wing...
top, top international striker Niklas bendtner just put denmark 2-1 up against italy. He truly is one of the greats of our time.
Ukraine have won.
It's a WC qualifier FFS! If you can't get yourself in front of the telly for this then you're obviously not a footie fan.
It's frustrating so far but I reckon Wellbeck will get us the points in the second half.
C'mon England!!!!

Or, they could make it topical: [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21511904 ]620,000 white people have left London in the past decade.[/url]
(also mentions that's the size of Glasgow, maybe we could use that instead?)
Watching without much enthusiasm here. That new chap looks quite capable though.
England to win 2-1
Impressed with Townsend playing the game not the occasion, good performance from him so far. Walker looks a liability in defence though. Wellbeck not combining well with Baines yet. Thought Rooney would put his chance away, no really clear cut chances other than that mind.
At last!

Can we just watch the game now? 😀
EAT MY GOAL!!!!!!
As someone (possibly on here) put it, supporting England at football is like being the over-optimistic parent of the fat kid on school sports day...
Either that Montenegran coach has zero neck or he's wearing his dad's coat.
I can't shake the image of Roy Hodgson as a woodland creature.
Never known Stevie to play so many loose passes!
Montenegro felt sorry for England.
I'm all over that own goal. Quality effort.
I'm all over that own goal. Quality effort.
Nuts
That was a fantastic goal!
yes they have scored the two best goals 😉
Would be a typically dominant England performance to win after scoring one of the three goals 🙂
Watching England - a great alternative to a high fibre diet. 😯
why has Rooney got a fag behind his ear?
Get some!!
OOf.
Ok thats a good goal
