I reckon Wonderwall would make a great National anthem instead of the current dirge of God Save----.I can't stand football and watched the fans singing it and they were so passionate.

God Save the Queen by the Sex Pistols.

Ok would need a bit of rework now Chaz is on the throne.

Yes for England. I think it’s a shame that the other nations that make up the U.K. get to have rousing anthems but any patriotism from England seems to have racist/ coloniser overtones so instead it’s a bit of a pisstake.

I agree - I have always said it's unfair on England to not be able to be patriotic. And I'm Welsh and have lots of reasons to be pissed off!

Can see the argument for Jerusalem. Perfectly happy to have a RF but think the anthem should celebrate more than just them.

but Wonderwall, really. Sure it’ll go down a blast at ceremonial occasions!

I like the song, but not for a National anthem.

This.

I think it should be Jerusalem.

Ugh, no, Wonderwall speaks to no one and is a terrible song!

How naff!!

Nah, let’s really go for it and pick “Vindaloo” instead!

I think that we should adopt the Welsh one. It's bloody lovely
