So with under 7 days to go until the premier league kicks off, why on earth is there an international friendly on? this must be a managers nightmare!!

So go on then, lets get predicting!!

1-1

More worried about trouble than the score, feeling its going to be a riot. Hope nobody gets seriously hurt.

If you look at the names of the England squad and the names of the Scotland squad it should be no contest.
Factor in the pride of playing for your country and team spirit it may be quite close

Personally I thought Scotland have been looking pretty good in recent years
Shouldn't have got rid of that Andy Robinson as coach though ...

If there is nothing less than a convincing England win then Hodgson should call it a day if he can't whip a shockingly bad Scotland team.

I can't remember the last time England has a convincing win and it will probably be a contest to who can be the least bad on the night. I suspect Spain won't lose much sleep over it if they watch the lowlights.

2-1 England in a dull meaningless game. Would love to see an full blown England Scotland fixture with something like WC qualification on it. Time we've had all the substitutions tomorrow it will be a training match

Friendlies are training matches from the first whistle. It always amazes me that FAs have the cheek to charge anything more than a tenner for people to watch a training match, and people are stupid enough to pay. They should be limited to a tenner at most and target school kids so they can see the game.

Sounds a bit like you are getting your excuses in if you lose.

I watched the intensity of Gerrard and his team mates playing in the Liverpool/Celtic friendly.
They are proud professionals and were trying their hardest to win that game.
