Poland beat Germany 2:0!! Who would have thunk!!

Thanks Edgey.

It seems a very prompt replay for Chelmsford City!

I didn't realise that Whitehawk is a suburb of Brighton.

Well done Stockport County.

Scotland were unlucky to lose to Germany in the first qualifier.

Many thanks for this rob!

Wrexham's see-saw season continues its poor home form. Mind you to lose your top (only?) goal-scorer was a blow from which we never recovered. We have become specialists in the injury-time match-saver but it was not to be this time

Seems like they had Tomaszewski back in goal, Calum. Scotland play Poland this week - the optimistic side in me says it's a good time to play them.

[John Wright]

Oh, Coventry now 2 points off the bottom (as are a few other teams)

And now Wasps (rugby) have took an interest to buy the city council's 1/2 share of the stadium. I wonder if I can persuade David Beckham to forget about Miami and buy the other half, AND the team!

on cloud 8 , Cloughie !!!

Thanks for the excellent round up , ER. Mixed bag for the board today.

An amazing afternoon at SMS. for the first 20 minutes, Sunderland were the better team. Then we were gifted an extraordinary own goal, and managed to go into HT 3 up having had 2 shots on target.

i have a theory that Sunderland had a half time bust up. Wes Brown was subbed, and I wonder if it was connected with some poor defending for our second goal.

Anyhow, we completely dismantled Sunderland in the second half, with some really incisive football.

Biggest win I have ever seen live, beating the 8-2 against Cov, (sorry John) back in the mid 80's.

Lots of happy Saints fans tonight.

[aeolium]

Thanks to ER for the results service (and good to see Stockport on the up again).

Congratulations to Saints for an excellent demolition job. Even though Sunderland were shockingly bad, it was good to see Soton constantly pressing forward for more goals, Germany-like. I can think of some other Premiership teams, including one usually clad in blue, who would have just sat back and waited to hit on the counter-attack once they were a goal or two up. Poyet's face in the second half was a picture of suppressed volcanic fury.

Inverness scraped home with 10 men in a game ruined by a referee with a reputation for waving cards around (I think 8 yellows and a red yesterday).

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

happy with a scrap and a win against Palace but really cheered by the improvement at Craven Cottage where Fulham handed the top spot to Watford

and well played Saints; lovely shot of the manager urging them on for more at 5-0 or so!
