Not a like for like swap but Montreal probably would have been able to get Hall and RNH for Subban, which would have been a much better deal for them.

If only we still had Antropov, Colaiacovo and a pick.

Would anyone take a punt on Eric Staal if he could be had for a few million dollars for a couple of seasons (or even one season if there's nothig else out there for him)? A veteran presence and a bit of mentoring could be useful.

They've just bought out Tyutin.

That's just it though - competing with the Germanys and Italys of this world - I totally agree with you. But we've not done that in these Euros or the last World Cup. We just never turn up at tournaments after breezing through qualifying. The team doesnt play the same. Theres no doubt about...

Yeah. Agree it's not that inspirational - I'd have either Jerusalem or Land of Hope And Glory if I could (I'm pretty anti Royal family athough slightly short of being a Republican).  The Wales anthem Land Of Our Fathers is very spine tingly as is Flower Of Scotland (which they play for the rugby...

I'd like to caveat this by saying I support a League Two team (fourth tier of English football, maybe best comparison would be Single A in baseball) who have no realistic chance of winning anything. The big issue with the national team is the constant let down from poor management over decades...

Best 5 excuses heard in the office today (#1 is a corker). 5) Tired after a long Premier League season/there's no winter break 4) Players don't give their all because they don't want to jeopardise transfers to other teams 3) Brexit affected tbe players who were still feeling glum 2) Hodgson...

Yep - the venting should be directed at the players or the manager. To be fair they did play a physical game, and I guess that's what Hoddle was referring to, but that doesn't explain the ineptitude of the players, poor team selection, no gameplan and picking the wrong squad in the first place...

Suprised it took him so long.

Who was it? There's a huge amount of anger here. Hopefully the team will be met at the airport when they get back by an angry mob armed to the teeth with rotten tomatoes.

Hodgson has just quit before hes pushed. Good riddance. Shame there was no apology.

#LOLEngland isn't harsh enough. I'd divert their plane to North Korea. Loved this stat on their population - if you are a male aged 18-35 and live in Iceland you have a 1 in 2000 chance of playing for the national team.

Absolutely disgusting performance from England to top off a really poor Championships. No way did we deserve to get anything from that game. We were utterly clueless. The set up and tactics of the team has been all wrong. Teams have only needed to put bodies in and around their own box and we...

Well done England for serving up a perfect 45 minute cackfest. Since when has marking become optional?

If the Leafs did agree a trade (presumably with JVR plus and taking back one or two bad contracts) then could Jones still be offer sheeted by another team before agreeing a deal with the Leafs? If so I guess any trade would be made only after a window to negotiate a new contract beforehand is...

I've not been impressed for a number of years.  He's a pretty negative manager.  The qualifying campaign (in an easy group) papered over many cracks. You can guarantee the neutrals will be right behind Iceland tonight ans screaming for every decision - France will want to play them more than...

Unlucky - a great block to build on though.  It's been really good to see how they home nations have performed - I've genuinely felt as much tension when watching those games as the England ones.

Probably too expensive as we'd presumably need to retain some of Bernier's salary. Unless the team can recoup a decent asset then may as well keep Bernier for now.

Well he got that right
