Calm
Just a quick one!
So this is it for me. Mess this up and we are in deep deep doo do.
It's a sad state of affairs when a trip to play Ukraine has all England fans in a tizzy today. Alas that's what it is.
Easy to forget that we played this lot in Euro 2012 on their own patch not all that long ago. We should have lost mind you. But we didn't. So sniff it.
England's line up should be dead similar to Friday. Except Danny Welbad is suspended (NEA) and for some unknown ridiculous reason James Milner will be replacing him. Because that will help obviously.
Ukraine will play 11 men too.
For me this is the acid test for the boss. Without doubt the key game in the group. I think we all know we won't be winning the World Cup next summer, but it's the taking part that counts....and I want us to take part.
England in a world cup is ace.
It's brilliant for England supporters. We get our hopes built up so much that we think we can win it. It's been what 98 millions years of hurt now or something. And i've had some boss night in boozers on England nights.
Those who do not like England get enjoyment too. We will inevitably fail and there is plenty there for others to enjoy. When we've drawn 0-0 with an African nation most likely (terrible flashbacks to 2010).
So let's all get behind the only home nation with any hopes of ruining next summer for us and hope for a good result tonight hey?
Not even nearly over the line.
IT'S COMING HOME....
