Should The England Manager Sing The National Anthem?

Jim White and Simon Jordan are joined by the former Arsenal invincible Martin Keown to look back at England's 2-0 victory over the Republic of Ireland, as the Lee Carsley era begins with a win. They discuss whether Interim Manager Carsley should get the job on a full-time basis, and debate if the England manager should always sing the National Anthem, with Carsley choosing not to do so before Saturday's game. They are also joined by Scottish Football Writer Bill Leckie to reflect on Scotland's 2-1 defeat in Portugal, with Steve Clarke's side now on a run of just 1 win in their last 14 matches. And they discuss what's going on with Chelsea's ownership, with them reportedly at loggerheads over how the club is run.
