That's confirmation enough for me...

That's what's Brent about it... just how it's phrased. Tickled me anyway.

We had 2 or 3 clear chances which didn't end up on target, notably Kane and Hughes in the 1st half.

I think that's a fair statement but at the same time England showed more intent overall and I would say we just about deserved it for this (I'm sure you'll see that as England bias).

I can just imagine David Brent saying this - brilliant! ?

Dick!

Hopefully Willey sticks it up them!

Set up perfectly for an exciting end. 1.5 runs a ball/ 9 an over... We've got this!!!

I'm saying I'd rather have Heaton than Nyland if Howard's going but if there's a younger alternative that is good enough now then perfect! I'd love Begovic but can't see us meeting his ambitions should he leave Stoke - probably cost more than £10m too.

If Howard is returning to USA this summer then Heaton's the no brainer for me. It's too important of a position to plunk for potential (although I'm sure we've done our homework). 30 is no age for a keeper - he's got at least 6 more years at the top. Look at Howard and Martyn - our best keepers post Southall. If Howard's sticking about then Nyland's the no brainer - get him out on loan in the Prem/Championship and see if he's the real deal. £2.2m is a steal if he's as good as he promises.

Can you stop Lukakuing every thread please?!?!

Haf would make a brilliant politician, I wouldn't vote for him, but he's got highlighting what he wants for his argument (even it means ignoring other facts and often contradicting himself) to a tee!

Seems to be working with Spurs - bet they're glad they kept hold of Mason. Looks like Pritchard and Carrol are getting the same time/route.

Hope so... https://twitter.com/simon_orourke/status/611959848608104452

It's Geri's other half's birthday - may explain why the flight over is on Sunday as they're clearly celebrating it somewhere a little warm and more glamorous than North West England. https://twitter.com/vilchesmaye/status/611635198925631490

The Portugal no.10 (Bernardo Silva) looks quality. Plays for Monaco. Rafa Silva, who we've been linked to, is sat on the bench.

Ward Prowse has a wand of a right foot. Kane came into it a bit towards the end of the 1st - I don't like Spurs but hope Kane fulfils his early promise. England could sure do with what he promises to be.

It'll be interesting to see how Redmond does this season - looks a really good player.

This needs a thread. Just watching us vs Portugal. Decent game so far. Portugal look a decent attacking team but we've had a few decent passages. Garbutt looks his usual impressive self and Challobah has shown a decent range in his passing. Kane none existent so far. 0-0 after 30mins.

I've seen Villa want Huddlestone too - couple of good signings if they come off. It's still early but I'd be quite optimistic if I was a Villa fan - proven solid premiership players rather than stock piling cheap youngsters who may make the step up but haven't been good enough (Westwood aside). Sinclair could prove a decent buy for them too.

Sterling's been on the laughing gas again! Keep up the good work Raheem ? Hopefully they'll end up regretting rejecting £40m.
