*Official* English Football Season 2007-08

[Loony BoB]

They beat France, home and away. Beating Italy is a bit harder, indeed, but they haven't lost a home game so far and even if they draw, France losing in Ukraine (which isn't impossible by any means at this time of the year) would still see them through. I reckon Scotland have got pretty much an even chance as England in going through at the moment. I hope they both go through, though, personally.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Personally I'm hoping we go out, we could do without the ridiculous overhype followed by damp squib we always get.

I'm rather ashamed but I'm sort of hoping the Sweaties go through.

Owen's gone off injured. You've got to laugh really, this utterly pointless friendly was odds-on to cause a vital injury. Newcastle fans must be crying in their Newky Brown.

 

[aussie]

My goodness it seems as if England are just destined to go out. This is just sickening...

Had a can of NBA earlier. Great stuff.

 

[grecian]

Football's crap

 

[headhunter]

Gutted for Scotland tbh.

Israel 1-0 Russia.

I wouldn't be too sure!

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

Oh FFS.

 

[Agent TBY]

Haha, England deserve to go out.

Scotland, however, didn't. I feel for McFadden.

 

[Fiery]

Israel 1-0 Russia.

I wouldn't be too sure!

So what does that mean for England?

 

[Matteh]

Scotland did a Lewis Hamilton in that they really should have had done enough in the penultimate game to go through but failed.

So England are in? Haven't been following it

 

[Matteh]

England have a chance.

ISR 1 - 1 RUS atm. Which means England have to beat Croatia at Wembley on Wed as things stand.

 

[Matteh]

Australia 1 - 0 Nigeria so far.

Game's in London, but i have no money annoyingly.

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

I cannot believe it.

2-1 Israel, the winner in stoppage time.

 

[grecian]

mazltov.

We're in the finals if we get a draw at Wembley (worse place) against Croatia, Fiery.

 

[Agent TBY]

England earned a Euro 2008 qualifying reprieve with their fate again in their own hands after Group E rivals Russia dramatically lost 2-1 in Israel.

Uh, what?

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

Uh, what?

Earned: gained or acquired.

 

[Agent TBY]

Earned: gained or acquired.

Usually through one's own powers or capabilities.
