This comment actually represents all that is wrong with the use of international sport by governments and dictators and corporations. From the post empire 'coming home' nonsense to the 'our boys and our country bollocks.

Suggest you delete that comment. Not on for a mod.
 
No

I’m saying you’ve deleted comments before because of your opinion. Or does your opinion matter more than other peoples?
I delete comments that are based on personal insult. I don't delete comments because I don't like the opinion.

God forbid English fans celebrating their country reaching a major international final.

What a horrible bunch we are.

You have done before. And this conversation will soon be over because you say enough and delete comments. It’s fine, I more than understand how the Tottenham Hotspur forum works after many years here.

We’ll agree to disagree over the excitement of England reaching the final and leave it there.

Have a good day

Football fans celebrating reaching a final is very different from taking on board political slogans and attaching them to the game.

You clearly do not understand the difference between an opinion and a personal insult. Accusing me of lying is a personal insult but I will leave it standing because it is towards me and is central to the argument we are having.
If anyone want's to query a mod decision you can always PM a mod or make clear your objection on the forum.
Having an opinion on the hype surrounding international sport is a mass insult not a personal one. Having watched ITV for the night I can see where this nonsense is generated. Patriotism for the wage slaves.
 
Slogans not slogan. I am referring to the whole flag waving queen and country stuff. Using football and other sport as a war substitute.
It's a game let's celebrate the game.

Literally every country does a form of flag waving. International tournaments are generally about celebrating your country and its football team. We're celebrating a bit louder than others though as we're in the final.

Most of us have been celebrating the game.

If you actually read your own comments it's you that's not been celebrating it.

I’ve told no lies. You have before deleted my comments on a thread because we disagree and you said enough and then I dared to reply.

Patriotism for the wage slaves? What sort of rubbish is that?

I don't get what Johnson and Patel's views on taking the knee has to do with the likes of King, myself or football fans in general supposedly using political slogans to celebrate England's win last night.

Far as I'm aware most of our nation were out getting ****ered because our team won a massive football match and we're still celebrating it today, albeit with sore heads. There's nothing political about it. Just fans being proud of their country and their football team.
 
AFAIK he is the first England manager to have had his team
reach at least the SFs of two consecutive international tournaments.

Some feat perhaps giving the comparative meh of the MF
creativity he has had to work with during his reign.

Alf Ramsey 66 & 68, though the Euros were different type of tournament back then.
