Rafael' solidified the RB spot as his, Evra's found some form again and Evans has continued the good work from last season.

We don't play well for all the game but there's enough quality there that when we dominate the game we score and it's enough to get the 3 points.
A simple "most of the clubs at the top of the Premier League are crap" would have done.

If that's a penalty, it's another reason why football has gone to hell.

Justice done for my money.

Yea. Andy ****wit Townsend showing what a complete ****wit he is by rambling on about how it was a legit decision.

Welbeck apparently forgot he has another foot he can kick with.

Awful from Cahill, once a noblot always a noblot

Wilshere having a blinder, meanwhile.

tbf they've recovered well after the village idiot stuff from the centre backs at the start of the 2nd half. Wonderful finish from Lampard. And it was a clear cut penalty when Luiz pulled Cahill over the place at a corner a while back.

For an England match, that was actually pretty enjoyable.

Worst result possible beating Brazil. Means our press will hype up our chances in the World cup even though we won't get past the quarter finals and the gullible masses will swallow it and say that this team is set for glory. Yeah right.

Come off it. The hype will be inevitable, sure. But worst result possible? Lighten up.

It'll feed the frenzy and the numpties will lap it up. A creditable draw would have done, as it is we will now be set to conquer the world.
