England vs Poland 15/10/13

[sputnik]

Enjoyable first half and looking good down both flanks. Definitely more goals to come for us.

[paultheroyal]

Just got to keep this intensity going.

[Whore Jackie]

That half seemed to go extremely quickly

Yep, flew by. Hat's off to Roy, still not 100% convinced by his appointment, but that's the two best halves from England for a long, long time.

[Royal Rother]

Can't believe how well England are playing.

Top stuff. Townsend what a find.

Keep going boys!

Says it all for me. Best England game / performance for years and years.

Germany, Holland and Poland. We should expect more than one every few years but hugely enjoyable when it happens.

Townsend. O. M. G. Fantastic display.

Best contribution to the match? The referee. Every other ref on the planet would have blown up countless times. The players know they wouldn't get anything for falling over so they haven't tried it. Easy really. Well done ref.

Gr8 stuff. It's like watching the 106 side in their pomp. Can't 'gree with the Welbeck h8 though. Yeah he's missed a couple but he offers plenty from the left in terms of link-up. Baines and Townsend have been unbelievable. If Walcott or Cole walk back into this side then I'm OUT.

Smalling was a liability first 20 mins but he's improved. Everyone else has been fantastic.

Should be 5-2 up though, hopefully we'll keep it up second half so the missed chances don't come back to bite.

Come on Chiles: "Peter, who's your money on?"

Yep, such a pleasure to watch no-nonsense, top-drawer officiating.

Yeah, don't fancy this staying 1-0. Poland have definitely got a goal in them and could easily have scored already. But as long as we keep up the pressure there's more goals in it for us.

Anyone else noticed the NFL logo in the middle of the pitch?

Groundsman used gloss instead of emulsion by mistake so its taking longer to wash off. But if I concentrate on the american football markings I can zone out of Townsend's commentary.

[Ralph Jolly]

Well saved Joe Hart

[southbank1871]

We desparately need a second here.

[Ian Royal]

Poland should really have scored a couple now, hell, Lewandovski could have had a hat-trick on his own. Some poor backline moments from England. We've only got ourselves to blame if we don't win this. We've had enough chances to win three matches.

[Bandini]

Feels like there's going to be a late shamble.

[SLAMMED]

We could have at least had a match thread. Perhaps sponsored by something hilarious like 'our local builders'


COME ON URZZZZ.

[southbank1871]

Feels like there's going to be a late shamble.

It's got a l8 Hart blunder written all over it.

[Scutterbucketz]

Feels like there's going to be a late shamble.

Would be fairly typical.

47 years of hurt etc etc.

[Ian Royal]

Poland really shouldn't be 30+ places behind Montenegro in the rankings. That surely won't last.

Come on England. You can see we've got quality, but you can also see how a properly good team would do us comfortably. Not clinicial enough and too open at the back.

Nearly had it there with that throw out!

[southbank1871]

L8on Baines suddenly playing like a pcunt.

[Bandini]

Pretty sure that's a first sighting of L8on. Amazing scenes.
