So what did we learn from Wales' 0-0 draw against Northern Ireland on Tuesday night?

Not a lot is the honest answer, but here goes anyway.

1. Craig Bellamy is not a lone striker, especially when the balls are pumped aimlessly into the opposition penalty area.

2. Jason Koumas will be missed when he is suspended for the Euro 2008 qualifier against the Republic of Ireland next month although he was nowhere near as good in the game as the BBC would have you believe.

3. Without Ryan Giggs and Gareth Bale, Wales are a far less attractive and attacking proposition.

4. Wales struggle in defence without Danny Gabbidon, James Collins and Bale in the side.

5. The BBC's Matt Jones should copy from colleague Rob Phillips if he ever wants to conduct a meaningful touchline interview.

6. Oli Hides still gets over excited whenever Wales play.

7. Oli Hides wants to form, if he hasn't already, the Jason Koumas fan club with the motto "he really is special you know".

8. Oli Hides cannot help but exaggerate (see above, “he really is special you know!”)

9. Leighton James should at least remember what he said in the first half about Koumas when he changed his tune in the second.

10. Duffel coats are back in fashion.

Actually that's quite a lot isn't it.
