To say 'get over here if you want England to win'

Ardent supporters, luke warm well wishers (I'm looking at you Scotland and Wales), waistcoat appreciators, Spurs, Arsenal, northern football fans, League 2 strugglers, those whose only interest is the office sweepstake, those playing 'It's coming home' on trumpets at 1am (I still haven't forgiven you for the vuvuzelas), those quietly sipping Chateauneuf du Pape with friends and family, Brexiters, Remainers and basically, anyone and everyone in between who isn't going to use the football as an excuse to jump up and down on emergency response vehicles or piss on a foreigner. Get over here now and leave the naysayers and misery gutses to it.

Come on England!!!

I’m so emotional I’m almost crying when ‘it’s coming home’ is played on the radio Blush

Oysterbabe · 11/07/2018 09:42

My 2 year old said this morning "Is football coming home today?" All DH's attempts to brainwash her have got her so confused. I think she's waiting for a football to arrive.

Sheldonoscopy · 11/07/2018 09:42

Finally. I’ve found my people.

It’s like coming home...

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 11/07/2018 09:42

Why have you bothered posting as this thread obviously doesn’t apply to you LaContessaDiPlump. Do you normally try and spoil threads that don’t?

Come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Cheering you from Wales! Pob Lwc!

Ticcinalong · 11/07/2018 09:43

I’m so excited! Come on England!

Sheldonoscopy · 11/07/2018 09:43

My youngest screamed at the telly (highlights from France beating Belgium last night) ‘goooooallllll!’
Legend. I’m buying him a kit for that

Todamhottoday · 11/07/2018 09:43

Where I live it will not be on until 11.30, but will be watching, come on England! (in between bathroom runs......)

I was a big footie fan and have been to the world cup and was a season ticket holder for my team as well as games in other country's, then just changed and got really fed up with the whole business and have never attended a game for 4 years.

But wishing them all the very best for tonight's game.

My other half predicted a France/England final!!!!

LittleLionMansMummy · 11/07/2018 09:45

I'm feeling so positive that even of England lose tonight I'll be seeking out their team bus upon their return and beating a way to the front to wave and blow kisses.

I am more nervous than excited!! Very nervous. But excited!!! I don’t know!! Ekkkkkkkk!!!

SillyLittleBiscuit · 11/07/2018 09:46

Laughable that the first response is a negative one. Isn't there 18 I hate football threads knocking about?

Come on England!

LaContessaDiPlump · 11/07/2018 09:46

Ok then - I have previously been told it's ridiculous to lay down rules as to who's allowed to post on your thread, but clearly the rules have changed!

Enjoy your match - regrettably I will be kept up to date with every microsecond as my 6yo is obsessed with it....

Justanotherlurker · 11/07/2018 09:46

Loves got the world in motion,
And I know what we can do...

Come on england! very nervy about tonight but either way we have exceeded expectations

OftenHangry · 11/07/2018 09:47

@LittleLionMansMummy I like that!

Really hope they get to play on Sunday. Bbq and beers ready

Oysterbabe that's so cute!

I think Southgate has done a fantastic job.

Really hope we go through tonight, but even if we lose, the team has still done well. I hope everyone will still appreciate that and not be really negative about them again.

Redrunbluerun · 11/07/2018 09:50

surf I also nearly cried when 3 lions comes on the radio! I don’t know what’s wrong with me. (I also nearly cried when I watched the red arrows yesterday in the 100th raf birthday fly past over Buckingham palace...) I blame breast feeding?!

Anyway, I digress... VERY excited for tonight!!! Whatever happens how wonderful we’ve finally got a young team to feel hopeful about, after 28 years!!!! I remember euro 96, watching from behind my parents sofa, and the intervening years of sorrow..: come on England!!!!! 🦁🦁🦁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

SlartiAardvark · 11/07/2018 09:51

rules as to who's allowed to post on your thread

"Waaaa, you don't own the internet" - didn't think it'd be long before that one came out!!

Do you butt into peoples conversations in real life & disagree with them too??

SlartiAardvark · 11/07/2018 09:52

My other half predicted a France/England final!

I hope so - I'm in France that day so it should be a good one!!

Sheldonoscopy · 11/07/2018 09:52

lacontessa but why when there’s so many threads saying how annoying the football is, complaining about it, would you post on the one thread where people are excited for the match and want an England win?

Btw, your 6yr old has it right.

I love football, always have. I am so ancient that I can remember 1966. It was fantastic.
It's coming home ! And about time😁😁😀

LittleLionMansMummy · 11/07/2018 09:54

Our numbers are growing - soon we'll be able to drown out the 'hope they lose' crowd!

I think it's very sad that people wouldn't at least wish the team well, even if they don't have any interest in football.

I have absolutely no interest in football now I'm in my adult years but I'll be watching, hoping and praying for their success.

I say this also as someone who's 30th birthday is on Sunday so it may be completely sidelined! And DD is due any day now.

And I'm a massive waistcoat supporter Grin

Happypuppy · 11/07/2018 09:55

Contessa, stop showing up us Welsh people and bugger off.
