San Marino V England

Anyone bothered about this game - live on ITV - 8.00 p.m. kick off if you are.

I guess we could hold a Chatbox if there is some interest perhaps?

Will we score a hat full today or will our overpaid prima donnas find yet another way to disappoint us again?

I can't wait for Hipster's preview of the game.

Well obviously i would usually be rooting for an upset, but lets be honest, there's more chance of Bolton winning the world cup than San Marino getting in Englands half.

They did in 1993 - this is what happened just 8 seconds after the game kicked off!

Anything less than a 5-0 win would be a bit of a let down, let's face it Zat Knight could play tonight and look solid at the back.

I would love Marino to win it!

I remember that game i think it was 6-1? in the end and Ian Wright was playing, correct me if I'm wrong.

Obviously want us to win, but the game will be poor I'm going to watch Wales Scotland, 2 sides more evenly matched will be a better game.

7-1 I think. We had to win 7-0 to have a chance of qualifying iirc.

A bit of a write up about the game done last year. Even if we had won 7-0 we still needed another result to go our way - and it didn't!

Worth a read imo.

Remember it fairly well, i'd just started paying attention to football about that time as a kid.

Come on Bolton.

Funny you should say that - check out todays banner when we put it up later on!

Im just using it as an excuse to go pub. Might even get a bite to eat seeing red lion food aint that bad

I think we might win the World Cup!

It's about as one sided as you can get. I'm glad I had Ice Road truckers to fall back on.

Fucking shite.

At least a San Marino player got on the scoresheet!

Come on Bolton.
