These were all the best jokes after an Adam Lallana goal in added time secured a 0-1 World Cup qualification win for England against ten-man Slovakia in Sam Allardyce’s first game in charge of the side.
A winning start was secured for the new manager after a dull game, one which featured a remarkably familiar starting lineup for a new coach, finally saw a goal in the 95th minute despite England facing ten men for over half an hour following Martin Škrtel’s red card.
Has much changed from Roy’s reign? Here are the best jokes from Slovakia 0-1 England as Sam Allardyce takes over:

Not saying this match is dull, but I've just compiled and laminated a list of my Top 20 granary loaves. #SLOENG

Shall I watch the 2nd half of England or just punch myself in the face! #BoringHell

Raheem Sterling comes off, to be replaced by promising young England hopeful… Theo Walcott.

The only thing that's changed with #England is Sam is fatter than Roy. #SLOENG

How can there still be 25 mins to go? This game has been going on for 3 weeks #SLOENG

Christ.
Haven't seen England play this poorly since the last time I saw England play.

Raheem Sterling plays like he's walked into Tescos 5 minutes before closing time and realised he has a full shop to do…#SLOENG

Hard to know if "Dier" is the man in possession, or just a general commentary on the performance. #SLOENG

Haven't seen England play this poorly since they lost 5-1 to Newcastle on the last day of the season.

English player dives: clever play, felt a touch.

I'm sure ITV have just put the same game from the Euros on and gone down the pub #SLOENG

I fell asleep before the #England game and woke up at 86minutes played.. safe to say that was a genius move #SLOENG

Final whistle. Well, that really was 90 seconds of pulsating football #SLOENG

Based on that, England's next two years are going look pretty similar to the last two. And not remarkably different to the two before.

Massive step forward for England. After losing to Iceland we've now beaten a country with 15 times their population. We're back!
