Booked a half day flexi leave on Monday 

Finished at 12:00, home by 1:30.

I bet Deschamps feels a bit of a plank for not putting Poggers in the starting lineup.

Oh!   I squealed there! 

Woo Hoo - Come on Albania, you can score...

Why's he keep mentioning Sudoku? 

Had to be a yellow all day long.

35 mins to go...

I'm sposed to be going to an employment agency for an appt at half ten (I hope to be out and home by the time 2pm arrives) to meet them face to face even though my CV is on their site   However I had a fall today and am a bit sore so I'll see what I'm like in the morning and I might phone and rearrange the appt, so I prolly will be home

Bloody wet floor in a shop and mat out of place and no wet floor signs up but I haven't got photos so can't prove it

I think your avi is saying come on EC..

Yes, in a London accent "cam mawn".

I think it's supposed to be Elvis Costello avi, not sure but it's name is Oliver. So I put two and two together (the picture and Oliver's Army) and got Elvis. 

I don't want to jinx this but Albanians seem to be defending well

Pity. These things happen so suddenly and aren't called accidents for nothing but they're still liable. Hope it ain't so bad through the night and tomorrow.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one for this American style sue culture but I do think they should've had things right from the start.

At 55 years old, I think I'm relatively young but the way I went down a 60 or 70 year old would've had no chance 

Giroud would be lethal if he could get a ball on target.

Lucky there, the Albanians

Odd thing is.....he can for the Gunners 

Poggers over cooked it.

He could easily have had a hat trick tonight.  

What's the thing with the coloured boots? I've never understood it 

Albanians need a bit of possession, take the urgency out of the French, calm the game down a bit.

Sponsorship, personal differentiation. We live in a commercial world. For me they should all play in black boots.

Good turn.

I watched a bit of Russia V Slovakia this afternoon.  While I didn't think Slovakia would be a pushover, they did better than what I thought they would......I just hope that doesn't 'fire' the idiot Russian supporters up tomorrow

It will. They have a hooligan element over there just to fight.

The Albanians are really digging in.

Well done France, keep doing that

The commentators did say that Albania have got a good recent record against France.

How come he gets a yellow for that but Kante gets away with a blatant foul?

Yes, it's a problem, they're basing it on our past reputation I think.  Although we're still not perfect we have done a lot to get rid of the 'thug' culture at foreign footie matches, but other countries seem to be playing on past episodes

That is the way the intelligence is leaning.

The French are throwing everything including the kitchen sink at Albania.

How much OT?

3, 4 mins?

They're semi state sponsored. Hence their PM praising them the other day and no more in ground aggro from them. They should be booted out but that's Mickey Mouse UEFA and the fact the French are thick as thieves with them behind closed doors.

Yes, brilliant post Donks.  Shocking footie politics by the Ruskies

I second that 

I think the Albanians deserved something out of this if not for anything else other than dogged determination.
