[Football] Why am I still not excited about England?

[hart's shirt]

I am listening to cracking music, wearing a very old 'Hart 9' Albion shirt and looking forward to tomorrow's fun and games. FCH.

You've always had sartorial elegance.

I cycled from Brighton to Bramber today with 2 mates. We went through a narrow train bridge at one point and a car sped up and hooted behind us, he then stopped the car and started threatening to kick our heads in. My first thought was, I bet his wife and kid (also in the car) will get a beating if England don't win tomorrow.

This thread won't go away! Haven't read the whole thing and I've probably missed the point. Did the thread get political? Looks like people are arguing....

Anyway, the title of the thread strikes a chord with me because I've detached myself emotionally from England for over a decade now.

Just too much heartbreak over my lifetime, as per the lyrics of 'Football's Coming Home'. I really just sort of gave up expecting or even hoping.

Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying this tournament. But it's cautious optimism, less with the heart and more with the head. A bit like dating in your 40s.

Distraught really?

What about the bad old days when we lost most weekends

I wasn't distraught,because I knew I'd be back the following Saturday and we might just win

If Brighton are ever in a final again,I'd be ecstatic

Just as I am for England

But we're not in the 3rd division now, we are in the Premier League and every point is vital. An England result isn't is it?

Well,if we do win tomorrow

Let's see how the country reacts

I guess wishing death on complete strangers on an internet forum, just because of their preferred mode of transport, isn't quite so funny anymore.

With the whole nation singing their official England track in unison it's no wonder that even the Gammonati have finally accepted this fine representation of modern Britain.

I don’t disagree, I think they are doing a great job at reducing the toxicity attached to the words N**** and N*****. I am guessing the thinking is that if they use it enough (which let me tell you those boys do), then it’s current outdated profile of being offensive is will be diminished. I will take my hat off to these boys, they even got N**** in the England team anthem..........they are certainly a clever pair of ******* that’s for sure.

MBEs must be in the post, and a performance on SPOTY later this year assured.

I can see it now, K&K shouting “ what’s up my N****s” to the enraptured audience with soaking wet Gary bouncing up and down on his Louboutin hi-tops with an oversize alarm clock around his gregory and big Clare sampling a bit of the other side by noshing down on what appears to be a stick of liquorice the size of a travel umbrella.

This is what I said in context, not out of context as Mr. Fergus has pointed out.

"It's this f*cking country itself. It's the utter shambles and bare faced hypocrisy and corruption of the people in charge of this country that has made me despise it and therefore feel very little patriotism towards my national team."

Which is partly still true. But I guess I have to ignore all that and as I have also said there are many things, more things that I do like about this country.

This is a disappointing turn of events........there is nothing taken out of context with that statement, the sentiment is very clear. I had commended your honesty in that respect, and for a while it appeared you had the balls to brass it out. 0/10 for emotional and ideological resilience.

In fact, you seem such a fan now you should probably go to a gig after lockdown. You could join in with all the words, finally allowing you to say "that one" out loud, and in the quiet bits you could tell the audience your Marcus Rashford theory.

Well now, it looks like Rashford knows K&K extremely well already, so hopefully he will be at the gig with me singing along with their lyrics........

I think I would wait awhile till we dropped another couple n***** in sync with the lyrics and then ask him was he really that upset about the emojis.

I reckon he would laugh out loud, flash his 100k watch, dangle his 250k car keys, nod over to the gaggle of bitches on their haunches waiting to have his kids piped into their mouths and say.........”don't be stupid *******, y’all know that some of the honkeys are only happy in a damp mattress”.

We’d have a right good laugh about it, then high five, do something Masonic-like with our hands and go on our ways.

A mixture of casual racism and complete idiocy that means you can have the final and its aftermath away from NSC. Maybe use the time to clean your own mattress?

Fortunately I don't understand a word of that.

Has someone been sniffing too much talcum powder again?

Give it a rest Rob.

Out of interest, is there some sort of guidance on NSC as to how many times the same poster would get banned for the same offence before that ban becomes permanent, or does it differ per poster/subject ?

Thanks

Because, deep down, loads of us are expecting it to end in abject disappointment - most have known nothing different with England in our lifetimes. Hence we aren’t getting too excited…….

 

[DumLum]

Italy were the better team but Southgate's team selection never gave us a chance to win it in 90 minutes. He obviously has an issue with Grealish. Looks a bit of a fool with the two late subs.

 

[Questions]

I am a little disappointed….. No more than that. Old age ffs

 

[Curious Orange]

It's really not like watching the Albion, is it?
