Remember it well - scumbags! Had a better team in 1995 than England too!

Hope tomorrow's match is remembered for the right reasons.

It should be grand I would imagine, only Englishman with any dignity in the ground that night was Jack Charlton!

Assume Stones will be in the first 11 in a big game??

 

Also assume Ferguson isn’t fully fit??

No celebration like it's a former club for Rice, 1-0 England.

Mainoo booked for England.

Ok, scriptwriters, you had your fun. Now stop it, Grealish scores 2-0 England.

Ireland aren't at the races at the moment.
