Come on England!!

[nimnom]

Who watched the fantastic win by the England Rugby team last night.
Can't wait for next weekend. We're on our way on holiday and will be staying in Paris Saturday night so we're really looking forward to the party. DS1 (age5) is very excited because we have flags for the car!!
Anyone else got big plans for the final?

ditto mosschops!

Ok, let's not argue about this - just accept the fact that S.A. are going to win the World Cup on Saturday and be done with it!

We'll agree to disagree shall we mishymoo

i reckon sa will win
but i will still be cheering on england

after all, i know you would have been cheering on ireland (if they hadnt been so crap)

now wouldnt you

But I shouldn't have to mention it should I? It should be irrelevant why I support one team and not another, people shouldn't jump to conclusions.
Some people assumed I was being "narrow minded and can't let go of tthe past" or had the "we hate England attitude of Welsh irish and Scots fans".
Not once have I posted on here that I hate England

saltire, I would like to point out that you could have read my post in that way, but it certainly wasn't intended to be a Scots bashing England post

I have never seen you post anything anti-English on here.

(and if we were to be talking about football instead of rugby, I would like everyone to know that I would support anyone before I would support Man United. Call me narrow minded all you like, I don't care. I 'ate Man United. So there)

saltire - don't take it so personally.
My FIL is Scottish and would rather stick needles in his eyes than support the English, despite having English Wife, sons, grandchildren and also he's lived here for years, i was just reacting because i have first-hand experience!

bossybritches - who'd have guessed that our chat would turn into such a fight!!

lol doctor squonlk

saltire I'm not going to enter into this. Mind games are beyond me at this time of day.
Good for you and whoever you support, it is entirely up to you, youre right. Enjoy the match on saturday

My Scots husband supports England if Scotland aren't playing.

I know nimnom- sports,religion & politics -always good for a punch-up!!

Are you packed yet?

Squonk. You ARE narrow-minded, FWIW.

bossybritches,
just starting to think about it.
ds2 only just starting to feel better this morning, so he's been a clingon all week - not good for holiday preparations!!

Oh dear no let's hope he perks up before you leave. Are the travel strikes going to affect you?

I'm sure the French boogers chose this w/e just to annoy the English AND le president at the same time in revenge for last week!

nimmom - have a fab time Are you going today?

pan -

We're going v.early Sat am by Eurotunnel so hopefully strike won't affect us

from what I hear, the strike will be over by then.

Twill probably be a train full of rugby fans though is it too late for you to squeeze me in to your suitcase?

Sorry, i've already had to stop dh from trying to pack in the whole rugby club!!!

oooh am in NZ, dh sporting black arm band and me and boys banned from watching any matches. Just try to stop us - go Ingerland Last w/e was doing 10k run (1st ever) at last 2 k mark sw car with flags hanging out, although didn;t knwo score until saw replay that evening had a fair idea [gron]

as for dh, decide was a league fan - nutknow they got trashed too - is now into netball

ok, hope you got that last post tiredness and too excited at thought sent typing fingers hay wire

Not so much "come on England" as "piss on England".

Blimey. if that bunch of preening overpaid gits can't even beat Russia they really are in trouble. Let's all look to the other game - the one with the funny-shaped balls - for how real men play!

UD - that's the one we're talking about

I know (now)! Sorry.

let's hope that the rugby boys can do better than the footy lads eh?

Can't do much worse can they Squonk!

Noooooooooooooo now there's tempting fate
