Purely for the Albion representatives of course :D

Although the Welsh would never support England :p

Surely Wales are all but there anyway? If a win today would see them through, then presumably one from either of their remaining games is more or less the same?

And one of those games is against Andorra. Even Wales can't screw up in a home game against Andorra.

Think it would be a bigger achievement if Northern Ireland get through. A similar spine to their team- comprised mainly of Championship journeymen- but without a talismanic Bale figure to dig them out of a hole with a moment of magic.

And for Iceland to be top of a group which includes the Netherlands is a magnificent achievement. I actually find myself wanting to watch their game tonight, just to witness the scenes when they (hopefully) secure the win that sees them qualify. What a night that would be in Reykjavik.

I think they'd have to win both of their remaining games if they don't beat Israel. A win against Israel means that they can't catch Wales. If Israel win, they are just two points behind.

Even if Wales lose tonight they'd only have to win 1 of their remaining 2 games as Belgium and Israel play each other meaning they both cannot overtake Wales. This is due to the way teams on the same points are split.

Righto. So, given that Wales have to play Andorra, which is three guaranteed points, they might as well book their flights.

On a side issue, Real Madrid seems to be the home of British footballers wanting shit haircuts. First Beckham, then Woodgate now Bale tops them all.

Only Owen got out of their without a dodgy Barnet.

LOL was just discussing the same thing with my lad. Bale looks like a right twonk.

Fair one. McManaman always had crap hair before he even got there.

5-live is a tough listen.

Having John Hartson and Robbie Savage dissecting Bale's errors doesn't seem right.

Nice to see the man with the stick half asleep for that handball.

Out of interest, what is the stick for?

Seems to be a decent atmosphere there despite the clackers.
