In Hoping Engand Lose the Footy??

[CockyPants]

Bloody hate football!
Bring on Wimbledon!

YANBU on either count

Wimbledon is better. You get to see fit blokes closer up than footy

YABVU

Yellowraincoat - you are too!

I live in Wimbledon.

Boo.

I live in England, and don't think they have a hope.

YABU - I live in Scotland, have had days of 'anti-english' comments/emails etc from neighbours, and am getting just a tad sick of it - especially when they say "I like you english but..."

My immediate neighbour is supporting any other country but England

Oh, is there football on? I hadn't noticed.

YABU - DH has a bet on them winning. He rarely bets, and we have great plans for the winnings. Cheer them on for me, at least!

I can't stand the thought of another Germany match if they win tonight.

It's very tense in our house. Dh is looking worried. and drinking beer.
I'm not really that bothered, I have downloaded a new boom onto my kindle. I've accepted that dh won't speak to me until the match is over, unless to make boring football type comments.

However, I would like us to win. Just for once. So I think you are being a teeny bit u.

book obviously!

Oh and as Wimbledon is starting the ABM (anyone but Murray) threads will start appearing. They piss me off too.

god wimbledon is the worst, even worse than football or cricket!!

no doubt they will try and hype up the scottish loser again this year - oh well time to get the cds out and turn the radio off

Yay!! Tennis tomorrow!

Spectacular cross post Nun

I don't have an anti-English attitude. I just can't stand it when they win the football. Shrug.

Trioof - "Shun us all the way" - honestly, it's really not that serious. But I don't expect people to understand. I expect it's more or less the same in every country which feels marginalised by its larger/more important neighbour (see Spain/Catalonia, Canada/US)

What's a boom, I need a boom or maybe a boomboom

Na,I don't buy the marginalised argument,I'm welsh and I've heard no one slagging the English off here.
We are much smaller than England and Scotland too.
They are playing quite well actually.

The Scottish just can't contain the insane jealousy they have about the fact that they didn't even qualify for the Euros, so the anti English bollocks is worse than usual.

Quite pathetic really, and not worth worrying about.

Some miserable miserable miserable bastards on this thread.

Are they overpaid because the are working class oiks OP, is Tennis OK because it's posh people playing with a ball.

Come on England.

Yadbu.

Doing - your posts are fab.

It probably is insane jealousy, yes.

I'm not even being sarcastic, I pretty much have no doubt in my mind that that's how it is.

@Whatevertheweather: Positively spooky

Its exhausting watching England. I need a lie down and a glass of something cold
