There should be a book of Hoddle-isms - 'sitting ducks standing there', and someone should tell him it's 'lackadaisical' not 'laxadaisical'
Lets hope we dont get a pelanty FFS!

If we do I hope we put some swazz on the ball.

Strachan needs to go, not because of this game, but because we haven't gone forward throughout his tenure. Sack him before that idiot Moyes is available, please.

Growing up the the 70's and 80's think of the England v Scotland games we had back then. Then watch this passionless, pedestrian rubbish. I include the passion in the stands too.

Utter garbage now.

Beating Scotland 3-0 and loads have left already. Modern football wankers.

A lot of them never came back after half time. To busy enjoying a nice crisp Chablis with their canapés.

149k record attendance at Hampden, Scotland v England 1937 and I bet not too many of them left before the final whistle.  Modern football wankers indeed.

More or less the scoreline I anticipated, albeit it with a better performance.

The second goal killed it, but I do suspect England would've upped their game had we equalised. They never really needed to get out of first gear.

Cheeri-bye Gordon.

So much for the pre-match 'Fierce Rivalry' B/s. Deary me.  ::)

I don't think Wembley lends itself to great atmospheres. The Club Wembley corporate twats between the two tiers of proper fans drain the life out of the place.

I'm glad Scotland got humped last night. Not because I dislike sweatys but I hate Strachan. Another uber wanker like Pearson who relishes giving journalists a hard time. They aren't talking to you to revel in your sharp wit you little ginger twonk, it's their job.

In fairness if I'd have been there watching that rubbish I'd have probably stuck with the Chablis as well
