And that is why the English will win nothing









World Cup Semi Finals
Euro Semi Finals

Probaly a load more if I can be bothered to trawl through sporting archives. You are clearly a RED so there is no point in debate as you have your head in the sand about the state of this country in virtually every sector at the moment.

And you are clearly a BLUE so there is no point in debating with you either is there?

If I can refer you to the following whitepaper:

Reproduction of wild Mongolian gerbils bred in the laboratory with respect to generation and season 2. Spermatogenic activity and testicular testosterone concentration

This is a well respected Cambridge Journal which can be susbcribed through a link on google- it states definitvely:

'with pubic hair shaved down and the scotum stretched thin, samples were taken to monitor not only spermatogenic activity but also the presence of conecentrated or infected tissue secretion'

Now think numbskull before you post your opinion which is both factually incorrect and irrelevant.

Well this has warmed up nicely. And I think most people will agree, the research into whether or not a gerbil has pubes has provided a very refreshing tangent.

Carry on.

That is the biggest load of f***ing crap i have ever heard in my entire life. You are generalising a whole nation.

My best mate lives in Scotland and until you have stayed there for a while you have NO idea how few of the Scots are actually of that view.

The Scots in general are one of the most welcoming friendly nations around

Ermm excuse me. I don't know why you feel the need to talk like that. Says more about the person if they're can't express yourself without feeling the need to swear.

Of course it's a generalisation, but it's very much the opinion of the majority, a lot of Scottish people don't like to be associated with England. Ok, so you're best mate lives in Scotland and maybe he doesn't think like that, but again, aren't you generalising by saying they don't based on what you've experienced? I never said they weren't friendly or welcoming, where does that come in to it?

I very much doubt he wants any ties with England at all. I guess it boils down to whether you are proud to be British or wish to disown Great Britain

Personally I think he adds something to the game and he is not a dull player to watch. No-one is forcing anyone to support him, but I find this loathing of him to be rather amusing. It does seem to border on jealousy at times.

As for him wanting England to lose, that came across as a bit of competitive banter. I wouldn't expect anything less from a Scotsman and vice versa if there was a role reversal.

Anyway, who cares? He is 21 years old, a very promising talent and is in the quarter final stage of a grand slam. I think that says alot about the views of his detractors. Long may he continue to rub the very precious up the wrong way.

I can only speak for myself, but I can never understand why people use the jealous thing. When people express a negative opinion about someone, oh they must be jealous. It is just possible to perhaps not take a liking to somebody without any other meaning. I don't have a personal vendetta towards him, and to be perfectly honest couldn't really care whether he gets knocked out or goes on to win it. He's done well so far and good luck to him. It is nothing more or less than that.

I remember Henman lost in the quarters, we lost the cricket and rugby in quick succession and the Sun ran a piece claiming that Henman and the respective captains were traitors.

I think we are a bitter nation and the tabloid press do their best to stir it up. There seem to be only a handful of top athletes that the English/British public take to. More often than not there is an overriding feeling that the person is in a privileged position and we can do or say what we like about them. The sheer bloody mindedness to make it and compete at the top level and we underestimate how much dedication, sweating blood and tears, that these guys put into their sports and dismiss them as losers if they do not reach number one. Only a small proportion of clubs/teams/athletes will ever reach the top.

Look at the witch hunt of Flintoff when he was as pissed as a newt after winning The Ashes or the sustained campaign against Beckham when he got himself sent off against Argentina.

The gutter press like success stories, but they much prefer ‘failures’.

US, I don't think mediocrity is the right word. Only a small handful of athletes will ever make it to the top. Murray will not be a failure if he falls at the quarter final stage and Henman was never a failure having been one of the most consistent players at Wimbledon for almost a decade. Unfortunately he was not in the same class as Sampras and Federer. That is not mediocrity.

It's that Whingeing Poms Thing. The Aussies have Brits bang to rights. they even have a joke about it:

Q: 'How do you tell when the British Airways flight has landed at Sydney?
A: 'The engines are switched off but the whining noise continues'

It's funny cos it's true :lol:

Get over it! it's what 6 years in the services does to you

Of course it's a generalisation, but it's very much the opinion of the majority, a lot of Scottish people don't like to be associated with England. Ok, so you're best mate lives in Scotland and maybe he doesn't think like that, but again, aren't you generalising by saying they don't based on what you've experienced? I never said they weren't friendly or welcoming, where does that come in to it?

I spent a lot of time in Scotland and i only came across a small handful who thought like that!!!

Been to 42 other countries and i would say all of them are more anti-english than the Scots

We under achieve in virtually every sport invented by Man. Mcuh smaller nations with far less money available achieve far far more, there must be a reason for that and the pc Labour world of everyone being equal , ie, average means we have a bleak future for the next generation in all sports.

The failure starts in primary schools where competitive sports days are discouraged, so as not to embarrass the physically inept. I always argued with teachers that thick kids should be allowed to copy in exams, so that they weren't embarrassed by their results.

But you are way off the mark blaming the current government. This attitude goes way back to the late 70's, early 80's, and was the result of misguided liberal thinking.

The state of sport in schools was also fatally harmed by the policy of selling off school playing fields, and we all know whose fault that was.
