QuoteEngland will be a decent test. There could well be a new management team by that point.
It'll be our cup final so it will.

Perhaps you don't get that football is tribal.Originally Posted by Grafter
It would be more ideal if a friendly in Oslo would be treated the same as a friendly in Wembley but in the real world we don't have hundreds of thousands of Irish born living in Norway nor a culture of Irish ethnicity in Norway.
The players will be up for it and the Irish support in England will be up for it. It's about the best friendly we could play.
There's some similarity with the Poles living in Ireland who will look forward to playing us next month.
Of course one WC qual point is more important but we don't have any games around then.
Point taken, absolutely, but I am talking here in the sense of the entertainment value of the match itself.
Granted the qualifiers are much more important than a match against Engerland but I can honestly say that i have never really 'enjoyed' a qualifer whether it be for the WC or the EC, especially not under Trap. I spend most of the time biting off nails that I have been sparing, getting up and down, walking back and forth swearing at the telly and really just watching in pure anguish. In saying that, i wouldnt miss one for the world and i havent for a long time.
I feel that these matches are different because they can be watched with a certain amount of relaxation (though I am not sure about this one) as opposed to something that can be of great significance
So I am looking forward to it in that sense.
The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.
Doubt they'll get rid of Hodgson so soon after appointing him.
Aw. I left that one behind. No fair.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
I did the same.
Have a 'thanks' for the thought.
