Tbh mate she took it better than i did and she knows what im like so got us out of there soon as we could grab a cab.
Its not something that happens much in London, not in my experience at least reason being that saying **** like that down my way wont end well for you. Not at all.
All fukin brave in some village pub surrounded by the rest of the village fukin idiots though.
That was the ****ty bit for me, all fukin nice before the brown people missed thier pens then thier true colours came out. Fake coward ****s.
Im pissed off for a few reasons but not putting a chair across one bloke in particulars face is whats actually bothering me tbh.
Ill get over it when i get a spliff down me later
A spliff will sort it dude for sure........glad you're misses is OK and glad you didn't get in **** for some ****er......you knows how it is they becthe first pressing charges and lying in statements, trying to tuck you up whist after some compo.
One love in the south Wales valleys dude....unless your a tory.....we fking hate them lot they can fk off
Top post !Good tournament for England. Easy draw, dodgy refereeing decisions, but did well to get 2nd best when they're probably about the sixth best team in Europe. The Italians are rightly champions, and I think a bit of a wake-up call for delusionists like Rio, who claimed England could beat either team after the Italy-Spain semi, and for those who reckon Sterling is world-class: not compared to Chiesa he ain't.
As for the thug fans - dunno if anyone else heard that Danish lady on Steven Nolan's show on Friday night. It's right to say that, happily, we've now developed a multi-cultural, multi-racial widespread England fanbase that we should be thrilled about. But come on, there's a hardcore, primarily Southern, tattooed, middle-aged white, entitled mob that surfaces at games, pubs and online that have been associated with Ing-urland since the 70's. The same mob of Cockney ****wits that turned Meditteranean resorts into war zones into the 80's and 90's, and even now are likely to kick into middle-aged yobbery in the Caribbean and Aisian resorts as their disposable income increases near retirement. If ever there's a drunken fight in any resort anywhere, look for the English - not Scots, Irish, Welsh or Aussies, but always the English, usually from London and the Home Counties. And not even the young English to boot.
And Jordan Pickford - I take it back, diddy-arms. Apart from the Danish goal, the best keeper in the tournament. Luke Shaw too - as a former fat but quick and skilful full back myself, I applaud you, you Manc ****. And watching Jose squirm and make innumerable re-writes of history in his newspaper column has been fantastic. Can't think of anybody else who'd get in that Italy squad though.
So here's to a third easy tournament draw in a row for Qatar. With luck, we'll make the quarters again, if not a semi.
Just looked it up, I don't know that pub. Looks like it's on the boundary of Margate, comes under the borough of Thanet (Isle of Thanet) - so lets just say I'm sadly not surprised. I think it was a UKIP stronghold.
Plenty of reports in the media over the last couple of years in the area. This just being one by the Labour Party speaking out against it...

I am an Iraqi Kurd. I came to Thanet 22 years ago when I was 17 as an asylum seeker. I became a British citizen in 2011 and a Labour councillor for Thanet and Broadstairs in 2019. I have first hand experience of the casual, everyday racism most ethnic minorities suffer in Thanet, but I will not quote my personal experiences here.
I haven't given much thought to the penalties. Just can't focus the loss on that at all.
We had the opportunity to win it in the first half when Italy looked lost and the likes of Chiesa and Insigne were losing their rag in frustration because they were under the kosh and had no answers. We could and should've pressed home the advantage then.
Mancini deserves a lot of credit. 10 mins into the 2nd half he takes off Immobile and Barella. I remember thinking at the time wtf!! He brings on Berardi and Cristante, and gives Insigne and Chiesa a completely free role to drift into every position, every pocket. The movement of the Italy side after that was just brilliant tbf and the goal was always coming.
That was the difference in mindset between the two managers imo.
Funny thing is at around 90 mins Mancini starts taking off his best players, he had little choice - Chiesa, Insigne (who didnt have a great game tbf), Verratti all going off and England start coming back into the game again. At this point Southgate had another opportunity to win it with the quality he had on the bench. Mancini showed his worth when it counted, but Southgate missed his chance to do the same.... **** happens.

Splendid analysis, as usual. I hadn't noticed Chiesa before this tourno - I have now. Hes top drawer. But he only came into it in the second half. We had them on the rack in the first 20 mins. Wonder what would have happened had we got a second.

We would've won
Big difference is that Mancini is a winner, his trophy count is nothing to scoff at. He knows finals.
As I say, not kids are they? And what are those 'stewards' there for?
I've seen Saka's penalty several times now, and looking at it, I thought the kick was ok, can't odds a decent keeper saving it, but that's not his fault. That took some balls at 19 to even achieve what he did from that spot, in front of the eyes of the UK and Italy.
Certain wont help our bid for Euro 28 and WC 30As I say, not kids are they? And what are those 'stewards' there for?
Eurpoeans getting thier heads kicked in by fat bald racist english louts.
What could go wrong

Age old problem mate. Police use to be the target of football fans, but they've been removed long since from the game, to be replaced by the yellow and orange jacket brigade - and although they are useful for peaceful supporters, they are left wanting when trouble arises. They probably not trained to the level required or have legal authority to do much anyway. The cheap option, compared to the expense of proper policing.
It also shouldn't go unmentioned that we've also generated a game that is no longer affordable for many, so I'm very careful before casting judgement on those rushing the gates. Have we learned lessons from Hillsborough, I've always argued we haven't. People in sections they shouldn't be, blocking aisles. I'd be very concerned if I was running Wembley and so should the whole of the football governing bodies.
If we got fined for booing an anthem I would expect a big hammer coming our way in staging any future events. Unless those governing bodies are as blind as they are to racism. Promise to sort these problems but never do.
Russian Ultras sort them out, the English thugs aint so brave then mate.
