    I can't see the Anglo Saxons breaking down that Viking shield wall. Ironic that this year is the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Stamford Bridge though...

    I remember that well !

    We beat the vikings and the next battle was against the French when a defensive mistake let then in and we were out of the Euro wars of the 11th Century. The Irony was Harold used too many players that weren't Battle fit as they had too many miles in their legs.

    Sound familiar ?

    Embarrassing by Immobile rolling around not being touched.

    The ref should be shamed. Blatant penalty and the ref is on the take.

    When visiting Iceland I found them to be one of the most stoic races of people I have ever met. I shudder to think how he might have reacted if he wasn't culturally predisposed to repress his emotions. He might actually have exploded.

    Fantastic stuff - non-believers can bang on all they like about millionaires and the chasing of bags of wind, but I bloody love Football.

    What form of entertainment can bring that kind of reaction out of a person, other than sport?

    Ireland have played well and thought they blew it with Hoolahans chance. What a peach of a cross for Brady though.
