You may as well play Milner at right back and another attacking MF in

Depends on if you want to pay / not.

If not then Nezzasaussi in the Al Manzil Downtown, but a trek for you.

McGettigans was apparently pretty good.

Barasti will be worth avoiding.

Undergound at the Habtoor Grand might be good, it's got millions of screens, and you could go for all you can eat chicken/ribs first. That's mega.

Yacht Club for a civilised one, they've refit the sports bar downstairs and it's alright, not cheap mind.

Byblos in the Marina is always worth a shout.

Yeah, that's my issue with most of these places. Irrespective of how many tokens I get for a bottle of beer.

Nezza's is good if you can be bothered with the 20 mins in a cab.

I watched the France game in Atlantis. Massive tent with a huge screen. Decent price for the beers and free entrance. Seemed quite relaxed as well, although there were some tw@ts from the Levant milling about. I heard there was massive fighting after the Sweden game though..

Thats the only reason Milner is playing, to do the donkey work. Has one of the best engines going.

Good result last night, did exactly what I thought we'd do. Sit back and soak it up for 25 minutes then get some possession and push a bit.

Absolutely loved Hodgson bringing on attacking players at 1-0 to try and get the second goal rather than sitting back and holding on.

Welbeck ran and ran but produced very little.

Rooney lacking that last 5% of sharpness

Gerrard was quality full stop.

Parker was excellent, stuck his face, his bollocks, his body, everything on the line.

Glen Johnson needs to be punched.

John Terry did what I said when we all debated him as a human / player a while ago. Completely committed, chucking himself everywhere, not giving up on it and despite his lack of pace, he played well and looked solid.

Alongside, Lescott was ****ing excellent.

Ashley Young is alright, his delivery is good but I always wonder if he'll learn to go past a player and try to play on rather than just dive / fall / trip at every opportunity.

Anyway, that's how I saw it.

Oh and it was definitely over the line but I couldn't care less.

I'm sticking with my theory that England are tough to beat and nobody fancies playing us.

I can see England getting a result against Italy , it will not be pretty but that might suit us .

Agree 100%

Italy will be tough but it is a winnable fixture.

Semi would likely be Germany though.
