Thought I'd start a football blog, we might keep this going until 2010.....England doing well....did not see the match or even the goals....I'd like Michael owen back in the squad though....and I think Peter Crouch would make a very good substitute...remember against Argentina in Geneva a few years ago....with Michael Owen and some very good movements on and off the ball...they caused havoc.....did see Scotland's missed chance....that could be very costly losing those 2 points !.

If there was a medal for the nicest manager in Britain Roy Hodgson would win it unchallengedhis record outside Britain is excellent taking the Swiss national team to World Cup and Eurothe first time they had ever qualified for a major tournamenthe has been successful with many European teams and is 100% thorough in preparationyet to achieve that success in Britainbut a man I greatly respect.

Well 3 uefa wins for Spurs, City and the V(an)illa.....saw a little bit of the latter game....they won but looked tired and jaded.....big difference between uefa matches and champions league games.....wish they would stop changing the blinkin' formats of these competitions !, I preferred it when the cup winners cup was in place.....they could have a super cup at the end of August with the 2 Champions league finalists and the winners of the cup winners and uefa competitions.....anyway, does not matter now, will not happen !, and the formats will change again !..

Note 16,000 at Spurs despite free entry to S/T holders - top 4 my ****

Looks like there will be a battle all the way to the wire for the premiership (Arsenal-ManU, Chelsea, Liverpool)....if Spurs make it to the uefa cup next year by climbing up the table it will be a miracle recovery !.

There's a fair chance of that given that the only competition would appear to be Villa (and potentially Everton).

Top 4 appear to be opening a gap up already - the way this is trending suggests that the 4 fighting for the CL spots will be confirmed before they've played an FA Cup game.

The rest seem to be on a roller-coaster ride. Hull's descent has already started imo.

England are away to Germany soon....difficult......we need some good defending for that game !.

What no Beckham ?......perhaps we will not be having the boring "bang the ball into the penalty area" anymore....but some improvisation and little flick ons with back heelers for a change, !, where has total football got to ?,.....the older generation will remember fondly the Ajax and Dutch players switching positions in full flow !, (by the way do not want to sound too romantic) but that Ajax side of the early seventies in my opinion is the greatest footballing side ever !, even surpassing Brazil 1970 because they lasted longer 69-73 and were better in defence !.

Well !, we won but the germans looked poor but an away win against them is not easy so well done chaps !, talking about maradona (who was a tremendous player), : he has a cheek really !.....in 1966 it was a split second decision by the ref...ball across the line or not ...difficult to judge....in 1986 : it was plain cheating....nothing less....with a daft ref or worse.....maradona would never, never, never have got a second goal unless that first one had been awarded...the England lads had him covered until that moment.....maradona being maradona : we will always have remarks like that !.

maradonna is a hero in scotland

and Wales

And an abuser everywhere.

it truly was the hand of god....brilliant and then the sight of him waltzing pass the english defence for the second...one of life's great days

I can never understand why the Scots are always knocking England....we might tease you lot a little but guess who I was rooting for during the world cups when Scotland was the the only home side present ?.

Maradona...only scored the second because the England defence was rattled after the first !, not such a great goal !.

i dont understand why the english do not get it.........

lets compare....you always want germany to loose for obvious reasons...you forget england was the equivalent for us for hundreeds of years......quite simply football is the modern day battlefiled...england are our biggest enemy historically.......therefore whoever pumps them gets a thumbs up from me and most scots/welsh/irish

plus we have to listen to shearer etc bang on endlessly for hours about england and scotland geta footnate at the end of the programme "makes it worse on the British Boradcasting Corp"

I'll tell you what....I wish our sides would play a few games in South America now and again...they to come to Europe very often and play...it is just a quick hop across the pond...no need for a big base like in a world cup....with weeks of training !, it would improve the sharpness to be able to compete against the mights of Brazil and Argentina and likes on their home ground.....and 2014 will be held in Brazil...not that far away !.

Shame Treble ("sweaties only get a footnote on the beeb") has spent all of todays postings banging on about a south american drug cheat, and his role in Englands downfall.

Did well against you lot though !

joe...he is called king diego up here and he is a legend............i can list some english cheats if it makes yoiu feel better

ps i notice your fans disgraced your country again last night.......nothing unusual there
