CleeToonFan 1 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Yeah same, and i'm not THAT bothered about it, but England fans can really wind me up. For example, the way we think we must get to the World Cup Final every time, there's so many good nations out there, surely they should just be proud nomatter what we do as long as we don't show ourselves up (2010 World Cup being the only example since 1998 where we would have a real right to be pissed off). The media building the team up just so they can knock them down, and loads of aggro people who think the minute we go 1-0 up against the United States that this means we will win the World Cup. England aren't as good as Spain, Brazil, Argentina, the Netherlands, arguably France and Italy who were even worse last year and maybe Portugal and Uruguay, so why think we should win everything, just enjoy what we have. Also, the entire "Oh my God he's not screaming the national anthem" pisses me off more than anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I don't think people's apathy is helped by some of the players involved. Downing, Barry, Parker etc etc are boring as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd all have a much better time if the media acted like we are also rans/underdogs. The Mike Ashley model, lower expectations and if any good shit happens then it feels more exciting.

Gemmill 46089 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The last World Cup was canny funny. England were fucking dismal from the word go, and there seemed to be this belief in the press and amongst fans that "We'll come good when it matters! Spirit of 66 and all that!" Â But no, as it turns out, England are nobodies in world football terms. Scraped through second after winning one group game from a group with USA, Slovenia and Algeria in, and then got absolutely murdered off the Germans. Â I mean I'd like to see England do well, but I also secretly love that these overpaid, overhyped arseholes get a nice reality check every couple of years.

Â I was thinking that like but even if the match is donated as I was saying there's bound to be massive financial opportunities for players.

Â you realise "below manchester" assuming manchester is included in that equates to 16 of the 20 top flight teams in england and that none of the 4 above (us, sunderland, blackburn and bolton) haven't been a top PL side for a good number of years, Bolton have actually got a current england starter in their team too as it happens.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Along with the massive amount of wonga he was going to get didn't Bent move to Villa to improve his England chances because he was nowhere near the england team whilst playing for Sunderland?

Guest alex Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 There's some talk amongst the mackems that he pretty much told Bent to move to improve his chances. Perhaps being a from northern Italy and an adopted Milanese, Capello is just a massive snob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Aye that's the story but apparently it was going around before Bent actually left. Â I thought you would say Milanista btw, could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 That's what I get for trying to be clever. And aye, didn't he say something about the style of football Sunderland played as well. Villa being like Barcelona of course. Probably just a shorter journey for Capello to watch him play tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
