Tends to score a few though ey?!? Never far from getting stick or goals.
Highly likely we won't see Saido in this one now I think. Always thought he was more likely to get minutes v Scotland.

Caesar still looks a nutter! Did he ever play for us much?!

It will be the same old story, England will romp the group but fail when it really matters.

Welbeck will score a few in meaningless matches and against average opposition. He won't score in world cup finals or in big games against quality opposition when you need him to. In horse racing terms you'd call him a flat track bully.

No start for Saido but ex Baggie Bostjan Cesar starts for Slovenia

There was an interview with Bostjan Cesar in the matchday programme, and one of the questions to him was about his season in England with Albion, and his response was how much he enjoyed the year and was very complimentary about everyone at the club and the supporters and he commented that he still always looks out for the Albion results.

As for the match itself, up until our equaliser I did feel as if we were making very hard work of it, as with no disrespect to Slovenia, it's not like they are a high profile country from a football perspective and as others have commented, it's hard to see the England team having a great impact when we come up against quality opposition.

Prior to his goals, I was really struggling to see what Wellbeck was contributing and at one point he took a whack on the ankle and I was hoping Saido might get a chance, but fair play to Wellbeck in that he clearly ended up justifying being kept on.

We were sitting quite close to the Slovenia supporters and I was surprised at just how many there were, and fair play to them for being a lively bunch, though I think even they were a bit surprised when they took the lead, even if they only had about 60 seconds to bask in the glory. 

But Hodgson's got a tough job here, and while you could argue we're fortunate to have a relatively straightforward qualifying group, when if comes to the crunch in major tournaments it's hard to see us having a major impact.

ATOMIC,I think you are wrong in relating "flat track bully" to horse racing. It is really a cricketing term usually aimed a Graeme Hick by his detractors. No matter how many runs he scored, lots of people outside Worcestershire could not accept his great talent.

Off topic but Hick despite his hundred hundreds was eventually found wanting mentally and against the short ball at the very highest level.

That term was a horse racing term before Graeme Hick was batting balls. Not that it really matters.  ;D

Until Slovenia scored it was like watching an Albion game. Sidewards passing and slow moving forward. When they scored it brought England to life and we controlled the game from there.

The pitch was a big talking point in the ground, it was a right mess after the NFL games.

That would be the worst an injury to Saido and we would find it very difficult to get a goal from anywhere.

The FA had to return around 2,000 tickets because we couldn't sell them - pretty poor when you factor in the Scots brought upwards of 15,000 to Wembley.

Really not arsed about the game either such is my dissatisfaction with England and the FA. I take very little emotional interest in the national side and I would not be bothered if Scotland turned us over - dare I say, I might even crack a smile for my Scottish pals.

It'll be funny to see how many people magically start caring about England again in about 5 years time when the next generation has come through. One of the best European teams at under 21, under 20, under 19, under 18, and under 17 levels at the moment. What's more doing it playing some very good football. At all levels under 21 and below they play a high pressing, passing, attacking style. Well worth watching when they're on tv.

Unfortunately I have couple mates with same opinion they laughed when we got knocked out of the world cup  ??? Don't get it myself saying you would be happy for the Scots to beat our national team I can't quite understand that.
