Nugent never scored for England, someone got a touch on that one and claimed it.

I don't think many were "slating"him to be fair just that he's not up to International level

I thought it was Nugent who got the touch and knicked it off someone?
Wasnt it the other way round? it was Defoes goal but Nugent touched it in from less that a yard
Did I say that? No I fukkin didn't. You slated him and then he puts an average England side in the lead. Can you eat your words, no you can't.
Would you want him playing for the Albion? Go on, answer that?

No need to "eat my words" mate, one swallow doesn't make a summer......and yes, I'd love him at the Albion but we are in championship so I'm struggling to see your point there.

As an Englishman who ever puts on an England shirt gets my support.
Well done lambert to be fair earned your call up due to the goals you scored last season & scored with your first touch well done.
I like Lambert. Or at least, he's no worse than any of our other strikers.
Scotland sub. Luckily it isn't Greer. I don't think I could bare all the Palace twitter mongs if Greer was made to look a complete arse in the process of Zaha scoring.

It was exactly like and Andorra type...
From Wiki:
"On 28 March 2007, Nugent made his debut as a late substitute for England in a Euro 2008 qualifying match against Andorra in Barcelona and marked the occasion with a 93rd-minute goal after a Jermain Defoe shot. Nugent, in his post-match press interview, expressed genuine satisfaction over having accomplished a "1 Goal/1 Cap" national team record; Nugent is one of just three players to have exactly one substitute appearance and one goal for England, the others being Paul Goddard and Francis Jeffers.[14] Since then, Nugent has failed to secure another outing with England."

It was the best goal ever, I'm 100% sure of that. Morrison's goal earlier is the second best goal ever.
Tbf, you were the ones who were 2-1 down against a team playing a 33 year old lone striker who has been playing in Canada for the last year...
I haven't seen us play this well since we famously beat the French at the Stade de France a few years back.
Usually after 59 minutes we're 2-0 down against someone like Latvia.
Enjoy your moment of glory then

Twas Andorra 1 Goal 1 Cap Joined Paul Goddard and Franny Jeffers in that dubious honour.
Has Zaha found a teammate yet?

He does look lazy too, not really bothering to try to win it back when he gives it away.
