Why do England fans sing 'England Til I Die' ?

[eastlondonseagull]

Just wondered. Surely you sing that about your League side, not your f***ing nationality

Utterly f***ing pointless.

with all the plastic paddys lurking all over maybe its tongue in cheek

In case anyone thinks they're going to emigrate?

You'd still be English, though, surely?

My dad emigrated from South Africa. He supports England now.

I'm glad I'm only a glory supporter when it comes to England, I only have to care about how shit we are for a short while every two years or so.

Fair enough. Out of interest, who'd he support England played South Africa?

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

England, more vociferously than normal!

He's not really a football fan, though. Only cricket.

I've noticed this too, very strange. Other countires do it too, can't really see the point though.

 

[smudge]

I'll tell you why. It's because they're the same c u n t s who sing "no surrender to the IRA" or "10 German Bombers".
They are brain dead imbeciles who make me ashamed to be English.
(Now we have a team who do that too!)
