Couldn't really be easier decision to leave you car where it is.

Are you recruiting at the moment?

I don't think I'll be able to watch the game, which is a shame. No-one at my company cares one iota about football, and I don't see it as worth using holiday.

Always think that land of my fathers is one of the great anthems and with a huge Welsh crowd belting it out can be really spine tingling. 

Think that the fixture merited one of the larger stadia myself. Pity it's being held in the smallest. Yet another poor piece of tournament organisation. 

Heard them singing Calon Lan in the Slovakia match, some song that... Words are pretty much shove your luxuries I just want to be happy.

Same here.

Weird that in a company of 20 people (19 men), only 2 of us are at all interested in football. The other one is a Spurs fan - and at the match!

Appalled but not surprised it's the same team. I don't count Rooney as a goalscorer now he's old and slow, which means we have only one regular scorer on the pitch and, to be frank, watching him live against Russia he looked exhausted from start to finish. We have Vardy, Sturridge and Rashford on the bench, we're desperate for goals, and they're not promoted to first team action. Pre-tournament I thought Hodgson's so conservative that he'll play this sort of team for the first two games before (hopefully) abandoning it for a must-win third. That we can then stick with for the tournament. Should have been:

Hart

Walker    Stones    Smalling     Rose

Dier

Lallana    Barkley

Alli

Kane    Vardy

Of course Drinkwater should have been in there and it's a scandal we didn't take the hungry winners like him, instead bringing comfortable mid-table also-rans  who happen to play for big-name clubs. And when we only have one goalscorer on the pitch, why is he taking the corners? Moronic.

I'd love to be wrong, but I think the best we will get today is a draw. We being England, even if I'm 1/4 Welsh.

How to not beat Wales the easy way in four easy and predictable steps:-

Step 1 - Pick the same team

Step 2 - Miss your chances

Step 3 - Give a couple of idiotic free kicks away for Bale to make us look like donkeys

Step 4 - Make substitutions when it is too late to make a difference eg after 60 minutes.

Errata :- I'd love to be wrong, but I think the best we will get today is a draw. We being England, even if I'm 1/24 Anglo Saxon, 1/24 Roman, 1/24 Viking, 1/24 French, 1/24 Irish, Rest/24 Whatever Casual England Supporter :thumbsup:

With birth odds like that Carl, pop down the bookies and have a few quid on Wales at 11/2 and as my old man keeps saying them fellas Ramsay or Lalana will never score, stick a few quid on Ramsay, coz one of these is bound to happen, oh and while your at it stick a big wad on Vardy coming on with 10 minutes to go when we England are 1-0 down and Kane is still taking the corners and failing to beat his first man, just like Tom Ince against the Tigers at home. England 0 Wales 3 and Woy tries to tell us that our performance was good, but Wales took their only 3 chances!

And no I never bet against Derby or England. And all Woys mates still try and convince the rest of us how wonderful Wayne Rooney is........

James Milner Part 2.........

Step 4 is clearly 20 minutes early Rampage! How many Tia Maria's have you had?
