Wade out as well, it is looking good for Taylor but as you say Jordan Terry Jenkins is playing well, but he does seem to lose form when he gets to a final, not too bothered who wins as long as it's not Mervyn King.

SSN are reporting that The F.A will hold a board meeting tomorrow.

SSN reports that Mclaren has said he will not resign.

interview on SSN now

Andorra have 3 mins to save our chances

which is more likely, a last gasp England equalizer, or a last gasp Andorra equalizer?

Given the choice of the two I would say England although Croatia still look dangerous on the break, Bent just went close.

SINCE WHEN ARE YOU ALLOWED TO TUG A SHIRT?

If your Man Utd or Chelsea or Arsenal or Liverpool ( oh sorry the scousers just handball don't they)

Croatia now lead 3-2

Crouch makes it 2-2 see how long we can keep it level till we screw it up.

A lifeline Lampard scores a pen 2-1 after Defoe fouled in box spotted by the linesman, dont think we would have got that at Ewood.

Croatia just hit the bar

Don't know whats worse....England's performance or Shearer's suit.

He looks like an extra out of Brassed Off

Lawro has just pointed out that Venables is not on the side lines with Mclaren, I would imagine he is with Barwick negotiating his England Managers contract which starts tomorrow.

Russia have taken the lead against Andorra

whats the bets golden balls saves the day?

92nd min free kick to make it 2-2

2-0 and now in real trouble replay shows he was onside as well

Pitch does look bad in places especially on this near side, come on Andorra

England 0-1 Croatia, gonna be a long night

A long time since ITV showed darts, some very good games today, felt a bit sorry for Lewis the crowd will obvisiouly side with Priestley because of what he's going through but I didn't think the heckling that Lewis got was fair.

2-1 Israel right at the end, it's back in our hands again

Russia starting to step up the attacking in the second half, and as I type this it is now 1-1

Israel score 1-0, Mclaren may have a stay of execution until next Weds when we balls it up.

All over thank god for that, poor performance, dont hold out much hope for Wednesday if we are still have something to play for.

Sky saying that Owen could be out for a month, cue Fat Sam sat at home head in hands

Take Lampard off for god sake his long range attempts at goal are wasteful. whatever the result this must move Mclaren one step nearer the exit door.

I'll have a look if Bentley comes on.

Excellent post on 606 encouraging me to watch what I am missing:

"This does not look like an England side desperate to inspire its fans to have hope, just a bunch of mismanaged crocks coming to pick up their payslips"

Yeah just about sums this match up, even if Russia don't get the result they need tomorrow can't see us getting the points against Croatia playing like this.

Crouch makes it 1-0 to England against the might of Austria after 44 mins

Well 35 mins of rubbish so far, 1 decent shot to test the keeper and Owen has limped off.

Owen has a thigh strain according to Sky
