    I really like Winks. I said after Friday I hope he plays as he plays deep but is very useful on the ball. Henderson and Rice didn’t want the ball the other night, Winks wants it all the time.

    Its a bit of an OTT reaction to Bulgaria tbh, there are many countries who have the same problem, including as some have suggested above,England,Scotland,etc.(maybe to a lesser degree, but it still sits under the surface in a lot of countries), but also to say they have zero chance of qualifying or providing a threat is clearly historically incorrect.
    First up I can’t remember the last England game where there were hundreds doing nazi salutes at our players and the national manager denies they have a problem (Can you imagine Gareth Southgate saying that?)

    And secondly what they achieved in years gone by doesn’t mean they cant be called tinpot.

    Blackpool have heritage but I would still say they have zero threat to the main teams... historical achievements mean nothing. Combined with the social issues of the country and they are tinpot

    Anyway, back to the football.

    I get the feeling the players really want to give them a fucking lesson now, but it’s just not happening. Ball not quite dropping and strikers keep getting in each other’s way.

    Mings' having a decent game. Not the same opposition but looking much more assured than Keane

    Far better on the ball than Keane.

    I see no difference between the racist abuse in Sofia and the chanting by our fans when chanting their incest song against fans from northern clubs - both are wrong
    You need to educate yourself then.
    Our song may be in very poor taste and offensive, but it isn't racist and our fans aren't making nazi salutes and monkey gestures and noises.
    I do not need to educate myself thank you

    I agree that it isn't racist in the same way as the disgusting chants and salutes in Sofia but the incest song is as wrong in a different way but not racist in the way that is happening in Sofia

    Kane and Sterling are awful.
    apparently Kane has set up 3 of the 4 goals so far.
    4 of the 5 now.

    Fair enough, you've now amended what you said from "I can see no difference", to "I agree that it isn't racist".
    I doubt many would agree with you, that it's as wrong as what we're seeing and hearing tonight, but it's not worth arguing over.
    As I said, it's grossly offensive and should stop, but it's not racist, there are no nazi salutes or monkey gestures & noises.
    It used to be sung "as a laugh" when we played Norwich, but now the morons sing it every game. 
  • Could've easily scored 8 here tonight. Bulgaria have been absolutely awful on and off the pitch.

    This is a no contest.
    Bulgaria look worse than San Marino.
    England doing a professional job but it's a training session.

    Final ball for England has been poor tonight. Shows how many they could have scored.
  • Some pics seen outside the ground today allegedly. As I said earlier, it’s ingrained in society out there unfortunately.
  • Sterling got just 4 goals in his first 47 caps. Now has 8 in his last 8.

    UEFA will probably argue to top one is simply about toilet etiquette.

    Mings, Winks, Barkley, Chilwell … could well have 'cemented' a place for the next few games despite playing against a rubbish team that would struggle in the National League
  • Seriously at this rate Pickford will never score for England!
  • Very pleased for the fans out there who did the double header after that dire Czech performance.

    Current goal difference of +19, which I thought was impressive... Belgium's is +29! Although they have played 2 more...

    20 of those were against Scotland and San Marino though.....

    And have both San Marino and Scotland in their group.
