What happened to it? We used to run ting in Europe now our top teams can't beat SKA Moscow or NK Maribor. Is dago money ruining the game?
It's a tough one isn't it. I hate to see those Ruskies and other Johnny Foreigners run rings round our upstanding Brits like Toure and Aguerro, Hazzard and Costa. Bastards! We should enlist some of those aforementioned JFs, else we're doomed.
Maybe he means the seventies, when Englishmen were Englishmen, and foreigners were ****. I'm only guessing.
I was starting to fall in love with England, then this whole UKIP nonsense starting taking off and now I'm quite frankly out.
You realise how much all this insular nationalist nonsense affects us non-Brits, huh, huh? We loved you man, you brought Liberalism to the world, now you're going all us-against-them. You used to be cool, man.
I'm only asking why our football teams are struggling these last few years when only a few years back they were cruising into the quarters/semis/finals. Cleary the sausage-munching krauts have got better and the lazy, greasy dagos continue to buy all the best players but who the f** are Maribor etc?
At least we can all enjoy sitting down to a traditional Christmas dinner watching Canada v Ghana in the World cup in Qatar.
Do we think England will bring home the bacon* in 2022 given that Christmas season is our "meat and two veg" football wise? *Not that there's any bacon
Just do a Qatar make a purpose buillt mountain and dig a **** off great river and hold it at 3am under flooflights too capture a wider international audience.
No matter how bad the English teams perform in Europe, we'll still never be as bad as the Scots. One European Cup win, and that was in 1967. And you knock the English..? Sheesh. I don't think we've ever claimed that the English were the best in Europe, merely that our league boasted some of the best PLAYERS money could buy.... which it certainly did. It's a shame the old representative matches don't take place any more. There used to be an annual match between an English League XI and a Scottish League XI. It ran until 1976 and when the last one was played the head to head stood at 75 matches with 42 wins for the Football League and 19 wins for the Scots with 14 draws. I wonder what the result of a match between the two leagues would be if the match was played today, with both leagues putting out their best teams. I can't see it happening of course, but if it did, methinks the result would be a bigger rout than Culloden or possibly even the "no" vote in the referendum.
