Double m,that back four of England would normally all be in the box for an England corner. Shirley one of them has to stay back but which one ?Or maybe Elliot Anderson stays back
would think Anderson tbh as all others could cause problems . 2 cbs for Norway are dangerous, Heggem had one cleared off line in Ivory Coast game.
Come on England.

Enzo beauty - (hope Liverpool weren't too impressed)
some goal
Hope we can keep him fit for the whole season cos now he's playing in his proper position instead of shunting him out to the left he looks the player we dreamt of when signing him
...you could see it when he finally got to play there in the latter stages of last season.To think he never made the starting eleven for the first coupla games last season.

did have me doubts about him this time last year but just got better as season went on. Stunned nee one is sniffing around him, long may it continue.
...will struggle to hold onto him next year if he plays like i expect

aye, had to pay by credit card unlike account used to pay for s/t
When changing password i never got an email or had to receive a code when changing password...just logged into SAFC.COM - changed password on there and it changed on the tickets part of site when i next logged in.

yes, just checked it does, also got me f and f listed and their el tickets too
when changed password got a code to change, changed it and all details there for me, but had to reinput some f and f- there's a code top right hand corner, gives you 3 words and just type those in ( the person you are adding needs to tell you the code )

Away to Torrense first game ...will get loads of tickets with a week on the Algarve in September
probably be in early December
No chance of a ticket, but we are going to take a family break for the first away game,
wherever that may be.
Rent a place for the week around the tie and hopefully get some sunshine, too
Pick any one of four (nearest first):-
1/ Central Belgium
2/ Western Poland
3/ Northern Italy
4/ Western Portugal
Some great away trips, some very winnable home games, and overall the type of draw that we should progress from.
On top of that, we have one real glamour tie against AC Milan, which is also the one that the is killing the Mags and destroys one of their most popular jibes towards us. Every other fan base in the UK is also taking the piss out of them as a result.
Couldn't ask for more really.
Decent summary from the Forum

Waiting on confirmation on a nice place between Leiria and the beach for 8 days around the match.
Will need to hire a car, though
...surprised at the Arsenal drift from 1.51 to 1.63 this morning.Dunno what the fella in the Racing Post writing about our game tonight has been watching .
he writes " Sunderland have endured an uncertain start to the current campaign " .......we've lost one game in four to a last minute winner
" they struggled against the Premier league elite failing to win any of their ten games against the top five teams " ..he's correct, but we did take points of each team and Liverpool being the only one of them five to beat us at home.
" they then received the rub of the green against Brentford " ....he could do with actually watching games before he comments on them unlike Mark O' Haire on the Matchbook podcast " Sunderland have made a positive start, thought they were outstanding last week at Brentford, particularly in that first half where they really monstered them and desreved to win that match overall "
Be over the moon with a draw tonight ....just hope we turn up ( which we usually do at home ) against the best team in the league.
They is looking to make it wwe
Gabriel v brobby could be tasty if ref wants cards.
Can't complain - Unbelievable save and a fantastic goal
Onto the magic of Europe
