I'm not sure England didn't want it, seemed more a case of thinking they already had it to me. I thought there was more than a touch of complacency there, I got the sense that they were over-confident, that they thought they just had to turn up. Maybe that comes from the manager, who's been very cocky in interviews and who strikes me as a massive prat.

To be fair to him I can't manage a wife, two daughters and a female dog. So how he tries to manage that number of women is beyond me.

3-0. The Dutch wanted it. We don't and had no creativity at all.

Sounds like they have playing for England down to a tee.

Turns out we might have been better with Kenny Samson. I bet the team bonding weekends would be great fun.

I've not been impressed with the way he's handled himself in the interviews I've seen either. Talks about others being cocky and needing to prove themselves but it's perhaps us that underestimated the Dutch.

On the plus side I bet the half time sandwiches are nice.

Beginning to think nobody's watching this shite on the TV.  Can't say I've been absorbed but neither of these teams frighten me at the moment

Sunderland are woeful defensively. Quite hard working going forwards though. It's like they're trying to bully their way through.

Martin should have scored for Derby mind.

Thought Weimann had signed for Wolves amongst their 30 other summer signings.

Surprised to see he's still at Derby.
