Are You "Anyone But England"?

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Not when people keep quoting me!

What happens then?

 

[planetgeli]

Oh wow. And to think all I’ve done today is been rafting up and down the river Teifi in the sunshine while you guys (were there any gals?) were enjoying yourselves on this thread.

You have all the fun.

Life is full of misfortunes.

There was me! I popped in once or twice to marvel at the tedious lunacy whilst avoiding unpacking boxes.

I know a few countries have come back from 2 goals down in world cup games

I wonder has anybody ever come back from Three down ?

Three Down's just another word for nothing left to lose ...

Nothing ain't worth nothing when it's three.

Oh god I promised myself I would stay away from this thread. Now it is football AND numbers. I hates them both, I does. Any minute now it will include coriander or celery as well.

You are very evil, Mrs Miggins. I had not noticed it before, but you are.

[Mrs Miggins]

Mwahahahaaaaa!

not read beyond page 1 yet but here's why the ABE lot are dicks as far as I'm concerned.

Sure, the hyper and over expectation of England doing well is annoying. It has been all my adult life. I strategically ignore it. It's not been that bad this time. A does of reality has permiated over the last few years. Course, there are always a few jingoistic gobby wankers but they piss everyone off.

As for the unfriendlyness. In Euro 96, I was at college in Hereford. My mate met some German lads on the piss in town. They came back to the halls and I joined them. We watched England vs Germany together, drinking, in good humour if a few language problems...

As for the crying, Euro 2016, a Welsh bloke came into my local to watch the England Wales game. (He'd not been there before.) This isn't a Sky pub, just a normal TV. He was getting excitable when Bale scored etc. No one was causing any grief. But he walked out crying seconds after the final whistle.

 

[xenon]

Nonsense.

English pubs are gonna get smashed up if we win!

I like to smash up English pubs in the off tournament years too, just to keep the dreams alive.

I see your name pop up quite a bit on sports threads of various flavours. But you never seem to be commenting on the sport. It's rather strange.

Your name pops up on lots of threads where you have no clue on the topic
Try to remember you're not a mod or going to be one now eh

Haha, talk about missing the point by a mile!

I have my 'anyone but England' moments. I love Englandand the UK in many ways, but when I was growing up the national team was like a magnet for the worst aspects of this nation (xenophobia, arrogance, etc.). Has taken me a long while to get through that to some semblance of being able to back them. Subsequently I now flip in and out of supportiveness as I see fit. And I feel just fine about it.

and they would give the engerlund deckchairs throwers a proper pasting!!

White plastic chairs are more traditional.

Oh, she is, she's brought back all sorts from NZ - heatwave, wild-fires, earthquakes, and shortages of crisps, beer, crumpets, and even bananas.

not going to click on "show ignored content" so you're wasting your time S from down west, you may think you're clever responding to me knowing I won't bother to come back at you etc but it's a waste of your time and it honestly doesn't make you look clever, maybe stick to the snidey likes instead

Fucking funny.

 

[xenon]

For clarity, I don't give a toss if someone chooses not to support England, be they Welsh, Scots whatever. It's the gleeful support of ABE in any given match, as per thread title that's just a bit sad.

Who's S from down west?

I've no problem with ABE at all. But be funny with it or fuck off.

You have very little self-awareness, don't you?

Don't flatter yourself (again). First of all, I don't believe you when you insist you're ignoring me , and secondly, I'm not replying to you for your benefit, but for my own amusement and that of anyone who happens to be reading.

I'm not a big fan of shooting fish in a barrel. Also, I am capable of reading your posts without being reduced to a state of apoplexy. You should try it some time.

Have we had the view from the Channel Islanders and the Manx yet? Bet they loathe us.

I think he means existentialist (which, in Welsh, begins with an S), from Little England Beyond Wales.

Or maybe he means "Sais", spat out in that way only the most swivel-eyed of Welsh nationalists can manage.
