I?ve never taken any drugs, other than prescription issued, in my life, but talking to people who regularly go round pubs etc and some younger folk I know cocaine use is very very prevalent in todays society.

Same here mate, I've never even remotely thought about using anything the doctor doesn't prescribe, and at my age he has writers cramp after doing my haul.

Albanians attacking Serbians. No English involved. That?s from the most senior German officer on the ground. Which will disappoint the English media. 6 arrests, all Serbian.

Reports from local police saying it was an altercation between English and Serbian fans.

Reported to be Albanians kicking it off, then doing a runner leaving the Serbs and English to carry on. I've seen clips of English fans fighting with someone, remains to be seen who with.

Slovenia with a deserved equaliser I think

Tonight?s game v Serbia categorised as high risk yet UEFA insist on no barriers inside the stadium. Risky.

High risk due to reports of large number of Serbian hooligans turning up not for the game but to cause trouble going after England fans. No arrests of English fans last night.

Likely to be the case with trippier who is more right sided and foden drifting into the middle more. We?ve been comfortable to be honest.

[Goku]

Foden on bench = Scholes on left. No point.

[Osborne again]

Those last few minutes of the first half, they were coming back into it. If we can get another goal early in the second half, then I think it'll be game over, because I think they'll fold.

But he's wasted playing left side, as he has 1st half, he's drifting inside into a more natural position for him, leaving only trippier on the left, Gordon or Eze are better options to stay wide and run at them as Saka as, foden needs start central, but when you've a player of JB,s ability ( soon to named ballon d'or imo) he's got to start on the bench...

[Mr Mercury]

Serbia.. that?s Serbia..have started to cause us problems in the last ten minutes. Decent start, deserved lead but as usual failed to press on and make the score more comfortable. If Bellingham gets injured we?re fu.ked.

[Goku]

I meant Foden on left, not bench. Gordon should be playing. It?s about the team not individuals.

Foden has played well for Man City from the left in the last 12 months so he can do it but there?s no doubt he?s yet to shine for England. We were fantastic for 20 minutes then stopped doing what we were doing. I always feel it?s unbalanced with Trippier on the left. Bellingham absolutely exceptional though and Saka, Guehi and Walker very good.

I think we will see Gordon or Eze on the hour.

[Lincs Spireite]

Saka is awesome

[JonB]

Foden playing as he is would be fine with a proper left back, the lack of width on the left highlighted by trippier not keen to get past him and end up on his left foot.

That said bar the last few mins and even in that Pickford hasn?t had a save to make we?ve been very comfortable. Early second goal would make things more comfortable.

[hilly81]

Poor, this. Default Southgate sitting on a 1:0.

[Osborne again]

Well, the first few minutes of the second half, and my nails are bitten down to my armpits.

Not sure he is, they just had a decent spell at start of second half. They couldn?t be as lacklustre as they were first half.
