0-4 they've lost all but two of their games 1-1 v Latvia 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifier & in 2003 they drew 2-2 in a friendly with Liechtenstein, this was the only time they've scored more than 1 goal in a game.

In 94 games they've lost 92 & drawn 2, scored 16 & conceded 418, average per game 4.45

Belgium are top of the tree with 33 goals in 6 games.

Roll on that Brazil 2014 qualifier.

You obviously missed the 13-0 tonking that the Germans gave them in 2006 Away from home too.

As for tonight's game, why is Capello so publicly running scared of Gareth Bale? If he was so good, Wales would be ranked higher than 117th. Yes I know the ranking system is shite (why else would England be ranked 4th) but still .. Let them worry about our players instead.
Oh, and apparently the reason Parker's not playing is because he'd miss the final game against Montenegro if he got a booking.

he desvered the yellow card for that penalty. thats an idea players getting back for howlers, de gea would be have had about 3 yellow cards (2 in the community shield, 1 in the west brom game). also earnshaw missed a sitter against england just shows how crap their strikers are.

No just for making an absolute horrific attempt at taking a penalty

Friday Night Football - Good idea or bad idea?

I disagree they are gash altogether. I think you can't beat being stood on the terrace with the flood lights on watching an evening game mid-week. However I'm not a huge fan of Friday night football as it fucks up your Saturday.

Of course I'll be drawn to watching some footy whenever its on, but have to admit to not being a huge fan of Friday night games. It does kind of ruin the preperations for the weekend as the Saturday can be quite boring without a game to watch or follow.

Just got back from the Molineux - fair play to Tottenham they were the better side and deserved the win. Took their chances better, and controlled the game once they got the goal. Wolves worked hard and played well for the game so got no issue with that.

What I do have issue with however is the backstabbing "fans" who like to leave 15 minutes before the end of the game. We went 2-0 down and its like mass exodus around the place. For fuck's sake, the lads need you more than ever when they're behind, and you're leaving them? Arrggggghhhhh!!!

Proper supporters follow their team wether winning or losing. I'd never leave early. It was not pleasant scenes. Yes I've heard all the dialogue about fans being fickle but it angers me. 15 minutes before the end is ridiculous.
