Not impressed with Kane starting this meaningless game. We know he's first choice and what he can do, so give him a rest. Of course some players from other big teams are rested.

Did anyone put money on Winks getting in the world cup squad last year? It was 40-1 wasn't it? I meant to put a fiver on it, but I'm pretty sure I forgot about it.

Winks goes past a player and then goes for a quick give and go, Creswell ignores the return pass and boots a long ball straight to the opposition.

I will never for the life of me understand these people.

And, stereotype alert, bet there's a disproportionate amount of EDL and Britain First members in that 1800.

I wouldn't ever go and watch this England team away from home in a meaningless game, don't agree with the last bit though, some people just really love their football..

I suppose. I just get really bad vibes from scores of people waving the St. George Cross, regardless of where they are or the context.

It's a shame because Englishmen and Americans are the only people I feel that way about regarding use of flags. People from any other nation can wave their flags and I don't bat an eyelid or judge them in any sort of way.

He wants to play though. He wants to stake his claim as Captain. I imagine the club would support him in that as it's quite prestigious for us to have the national team captain.

Just a small request to anyone at the game - can you find them drummers and kill them all, please?

Everything about Henderson screams mediocrity...

Southgate and the FA have finally found the cure for insomnia.

So this lot lost 3-0 to Scotland and drew against Malta 1-1. I'd expect us to run up a cricket score tonight

Look, I don't think Winks is Modric or anything, but already you can see a difference in the dynamics of the midfield with a player like Winks in there, he's constantly moving, and looking to give, go, get and go again, as opposed to give, stand, and ponder.
