Don't know if I am jinxing anyone, we have not played a lot of really tough away games, but we have played
Italy at least. I would say it can be explained by Trap knowing how to defend effectively.

trouble in Kilburn apparently? No details...

Shamrock Rovers fans no doubt.

No direct bus mate.

Just looking at that England team....fuuckin hell, we is in trouble!

Apart from Johnson, Cole, Walcott, Oxlaide-Chamberlain, Rooney and Sturridge, I really don't think they have the pace to hurt us.

We let the ball do the running.

It didn't take long, the irish "we" flowed out of Andy's mouth in the first sentence.

He said we have an important qualifier next week and then proceeded to mention the "Irish Boys".

Oh it's time for Mute...

Fair play, Andy.

Adrian Chiles summed it up in the build-up: Every player in the England side plays for a big club, whereas none of the Irish players plays for a big club. Coleman and Jagielka must be very confused at training each morning.
