[Albion] St. George's Day at Wembley

[Monkey Man]

I always celebrate St George's Day. It's my birthday.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

So glad you reminded me its St Georges Day on Sunday - its my nieces birthday. Must get a card in the post....

It's my son in law's birthday too. Card already sorted.

I always celebrate St George's Day. It's my birthday.

And William Shakespeare.

Happy birthday George!

Just remember to cover your ears at 3 pm. It's going to be pretty loud round Wembley.

 

[Eeyore]

God save the King is the British anthem, not England. I say we ditch Georgie boy and go all Edmund, move Edmund's day to summer and go get pissed in the sunshine.

 

[Gabbafella]

Dragons and religion, it's all a load of bollocks.
I'll save my energy for May the 4th instead.

You went to school in high heels, suspenders and a bra?

Then home for buttered scones for tea

This is the Way

My friends and I used to make a point of celebrating St George's Day.

As I've got older, I feel less and less proud of being English so don't bother.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Meh. I don't remember ever having any celebrations for St George's Day in my entire life.

Only in the last 15 or so years I’ve seen them. It’s usually a certain “type” of person as well. It seems to have coincided with the cross replacing the Union Jack at football.

Being English does come with baggage. I have never wanted to be defined by my nationality though, I prefer people think about me in terms of my passions and interests.

What a beer loving, poncey food snob ?

If you asked me what date St George's Day was, I'd have had zero idea. Couldn't even have told you the correct month. Such does it register (or not) on my personal agenda.

 

[Fungus]

And William Shakespeare.

I’m fully expecting PotG to start an RIP thread for Shaky, who apparently died on his birthday.

 

[Shooting Star]

Won't be celebrating as St Edmund should be our patron saint.

 

[Whitechapel]

Its a real shame I have not heard any news that Wembley will be putting on some pre-match celebrations for St. George's Day. I hope at the very least the national anthem is played before KO.

Won’t somebody please think of the patron saints?

 

[Hamilton]

Celebrating your national saint's day? How provincial. Leave that to the Irish, Welsh and Scots.*

I'll be more focused on beating Man Utd on Sunday rather than anything else.

I'm as proud to be English as a Frenchman might be to be French, but I'm no nationalist. I think when you start going all nationalist and making out that you live in the greatest country on earth, then you're talking bollocks. It's the same as when Yorkshire folk bang on about Yorkshire being God's county and all that hyperbole. I've lived in Barnsley and if that's where God lives then he/she needs to take a long hard look at themselves.

*PS the bit about celebrating was a joke. I love a few warm pints of ale and some Morris dancers on the 23rd. Cracking party.



And what the hell is 'woke' anyway? If woke is about being a bit self aware and not acting like a jerk then I'm f*cking woke mate!

It has since been confirmed that sadly this was the case.
