As it says there it's not directly linked to FFP but more about overdue payments. It's the first sign that UEFA might actually be serious about this.

[Guest]

England start badly. Defoe then bangs one in, after a Ukranian dives. Not given.

[El Pibe]

Oh FFS they are still going on about the offside goal being disallowed!

[DeadRussian]

What the chuffin' fuck is Andy Townsend on about?

[neoELITE]

What does Tom Cleverly actually do?

EDIT - bollocks. Decent shot.

[SaintM]

He's not ready for this kind of game, but there isn't much choice really.

[El Pibe]

Get Becks on and win a free kick!!

[neoELITE]

What's happened to Scott Parker?

[Daley]

Injured.

[Sirloin]

Van Persie gone off injured for Holland it seems.

They're 1-4 up. Fergie somehow got a message to him.

Wales

[Ninja Doctor]

This is turgid. Gerrard off, he's been useless again tonight

He's been fine. Ox and Defoe and Cleverley have let the side down.

[JamesTW]

Wales

6-1

[kensei]

Ireland won 4-1 but still seemed to be worse at passing than Oman.

[Herbalizer]

Chris Coleman is one of the shittest managers ever. He's undone all the good work that Speed did.

[Guest]

The officials in the England game are toss. Suit the team then.

Gerrard should have done better on the goal.

Very hard for Ox to make an impression when they're sitting deep and youve got 2-3 defenders around you. We've had this same discussion with Walcott.

Defoe hasn't had it easy either. If Rooney plays up front on his own and plays like shit we let him off.

Overall not good. Great to see that creative, dynamic, midfield pair of Gerrard and Lampard being so effective again!

[El Pibe]

Townsend is great. All fouls given against England are either wrong or harsh.

[angel]

Laughable pen claim. ITV partisan commentary.

[El Pibe]

Get out of jail free card!

What? Clear as a bell.

[DeadRussian]

Lampard's my favourite penalty taker.

Just get it on target and give it some welly. None of this subtle chipping and side-footed placement.

[angel]

What? Clear as a bell.

the wellbeck dive not the handball

[Landshead]

'Vauxhall' man of the match, fuck off itv

[shock33]

Did Townsend say he was going to give Gerrard motm before the sending off!?!

[Timmo]

Haha, Lampard man of the match. Basically whatever Townsend says, the opposite is true. In ALL cases.

Milner has been England's best player by far.

[angel]

'Vauxhall' man of the match, fuck off itv

just about to post the same thing. fucking idiots. makes me think of alan partridge xmas special. vauxhall labrador.

[SaintM]

Wellbeck should have been booked

[Ninja Doctor]

England are playing better with 10!
