England voted the worst team to ever get to 1/4 finals

[Dandyman]

OWEN - Welsh name
ROONEY - Irish name
FERDINAND - Spanish/ Portugese name
CROUCH - what you do when you have a crap
JAMES - Welsh surname
LAMPARD - from a Germanic personal ... Lambard, Lampert, Lamperd, Lampard, Lampart
GERRARD - Surname Origin: French. Alternate Surname Spellings: GERARD
CARRAGHER - Irish name
CAMPBELL - Scottish name
LENNON - Irish name
CARRICK - dweller on the rocky cape, Gaelic (Irish in other words)
DOWNING - corruption of O'Dinneen (Irish!)
BRIDGE - At last! Anglo saxon, from Burgh meaning fortified place (as in Bury)
COLE - Could be old english, or could be from Hen Coel (Welsh King) - Which translates as Old King Cole (We know a song about him)
BECKHAM - Jewish

Three Lions - The symbol of Richard Couer de Lion, a Frenchman who became King of England. He was so proud of England, he spent most of his life in Palestine! (Apart from the time when he was in gaol!) In fact, he couldn't even speak English, which is not unusual amongst English royalty.

...and some of the reasons I'm proud to be English rather than the product of a monocultural priest ridden envious back water.

You get the feeling if England manage to somehow grind out another three mediocre wins in this competition, there will still be people refusing to believe they are World Champions.

And with very good reason

As goes envious? Envious of what? Failing health and education system, paying for college, significantly higher unemployment, lower per-capita income, the need for armed police on the beat, members of strange Catholic cults in senior political positions (I mean, f*** it, we've never even had that), council tax, water rates, etc, etc, etc?

As goes "monocultural", I get the news in three languages (Irish, English, Polish) every day on Irish cable channels, it comes in one in England. Our state-run buses feature signage in English, Irish, Russian and Arabic. Hrm.

As goes priest-ridden... I live in the town thats meant to be the headquarters of the Catholic Church in Ireland. I can't tell you the last time I saw one of the bastards.

erm...90% of Irish schools are controlled by the kiddy fiddlers, they also control a fair amount of your health system and achieved the constitutional position that states that a geriatic former Hitler Youth member is better placed to tell Irish women what to do with their bodies than they are.

As for envy, seems to be a remarkable number of your brightest and best who can't wait to get on the first flight here.

thats what English is though isn't it, a mixture of peoples descended from thousands of years of immigration
Which makes us 90% less inbred then the welsh

I've a feeling the sum of what you know about modern Ireland has been picked up from a half-read paperback of Angela's Ashes and a Magners advert

Yeah, there's a NORTHERN Ireland too, you know. Tsk!

 

[The British National Party]

And a Northern Ireland it'll stay as well.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Blimey, this topic has not come up for a while....

 

[Porky]

England v Sweden.
First Half: Best I've seen England play.
Second Half: Worst I've seen England play.
Go figure.
I realize that it's the result that counts, but clas is praised by supporters and opponents alike.

Sol Campbell - Scottish name?

The man is called Sulzeer Jeremiah Campbell. Yup, straight outta Scotland.

 

[London Irish]

It's a bit like when Wales were beaten at rugby by Western Samoa, the joke was it was a good job Wales weren't playing the whole of Samoa. Parallels with September 7 2005?

 

[Zed Seagull]

Well hopefully we will be voted the worst team ever to win the World Cup as well.

Albion & England forever.

Gelsenkirchen BHA

You already are.

Someones living in the 1980s, I see. Or possibly the 1920s, not quite sure.

Christian Brothers and Presentation Sisters (kiddy fiddlers and kiddy bashers respectively) have both pulled out of education. I never attended anything other than a 100% state run, state controlled, state funded educational institution.

Constitution is a mess because of the xxxx who wrote it in the first place (DeVelera :spit. The current government are his party and won't do a rewrite because it would "offend his memory" (another right load of bollocks) but right now, they're gonna be humiliated in the next elections and have already lost most regional councils

Emigration to the UK close to nil, immigration from the UK somewhere in the region of 20,000 a year.

But I wouldn't expect recent stereotypes from you, to be honest.

 

[Cian]

You can have it. Don't want my taxes to be paying unemployable IRA, INLA, UVF or UDA scums dole; or subsidising its shattered economy. Paying for half its canal maintainence, road safety promotion, food safety systems and tourist board is annoying enough already..

 

[Cian]

Yeah, there's a NORTHERN Ireland too, you know. Tsk!

Which comes damn close to the religously controlled, under-developed, broke backwater Dandyman is describing, oddly enough. And yet its in the UK....

.....you've forgotten the CLINCHING argument though in favour of preserving the border - Ireland is the envy of the world in being the one place that actually possesses TWO teams that beat England, not even BRAZIL can boast that

I know you're going fishing with this post, but doesn't it just show the cardiff fans up as a bunch of petty, desperate, racist fucktards?

 

[A Melbourne Albion Supporter]

back to the subject of the post, neither the Iti's, brazilians or french have impressed me, but unlike Ukraine, we haven't been stuffed 4-0, so the poll must be utter tosh!

 

[Brovion]

Great thread!

MYOB, YOU are welcome to Northern Ireland for exactly the reasons you state. We don't want those bowler-hatted, drum-bashing, sash-wearing, orange-brained, bigoted twats. All the while there was an active IRA military campaign targetting civilians we had to keep it, but now there's no reason. Tell your gov't they can pick up the keys tomorrow.
