Let's all laugh at England

Actually I love me a Cinderella story so give it a few days and I’ll be Moroccan and Croatian.

All jokes aside I think that would be the most unexpected final ever
Why are you not supporting Argentina. Croatia have had much more success recently and are a richer nation.
 
Weird that what should be a lighthearted thread never fails to descend into jibes about imperialism and unrelated YouGov polls from 8 years ago. Some seem to have a real chip on their shoulder. I don't mind the good nature banter at all...we are serial bottle jobs despite being a nation of football fanatics, but some of the usual suspects, as ever, find a way to give their own prejudices an airing (@Ramshock I'm looking at you).

Oh, Im so scared. :lol:
 
I can’t post on the general forum and since I posted my message earlier on here it’s probably the best place to put it. I’m sorry for worrying anyone with my earlier post. I was and still am in a way in a desperate place. I had nobody to talk to so reached out on here. I have been in contact with the police and my family are with me. I’m going to get the help I need. If it wasn’t for the people on here who reached out things may have ended differently. Thank you.

Say what you want about abuse but the difference between Kane and what Rashford etc got two years ago tell s a story

It's good to hear that you're getting the help you need. There's always a better way than ending it all no matter what.
 
I really don't mind piss taking. It's part of the sport. One thing I do think opposition fans get wrong, though is when they harp on about the state of english media. As if, it's some special english trait!

All countries media is one eyed and jingoistic! It's stupid, but it's the nature of the beast.

Yeah i'm the same. it seems "No I don't mind England/English people, it's just the media are shite and wouldn't shut up about it if they won anything" is the party line for people who like seeing England lose but don't want any flak for admitting it.
They should just admit they don't like England/English people and be done with it

They all do it. The only difference is the Scots, Irish and Welsh are never at many world cup's so they don't get to see it. It's not our fault thier shite.

I don't know of any other country that has a media like the UK. It's not just one or two nutjobs.

Thank you for this update my friend. Lots of love!

Yeah, I would like to see welsh press when they were doing well!

But how many other countries press do you or I see? You can speak to france and I can't, but I'm taking a pretty good guess that most have their rags like the scum and mail.

That's great pal, always here if you fancy a chat. Hope you resolve what's going on. Sure you will.

Tbf, I think it's mostly banter from fellow brits. I don't think it's some deep-seated thing.

And yeah, you do here that line a lot about the media.
 
England's record is almost comically bad in tournaments, though :lol: So much piss taking to be had.

I do fear for the sanity of some if england do ever win a WC or Euro*

*let's be honest, never happening!

Most of Europe. Of course there's the odd one in different countries but the number the UK has like the Mail, the Sun, the Express, the Star, the Telegraph , the Times and so on. It's not the same feeling.

Almost?


How often have they won it actually? Thrice?

edit:
"it" being a quarter final in this case

To be fair, it's going to be glorious. They will celebrate like nobody before. :lol:

Reach out and talk to people anywhere, any time. All that matters is you talk to people and don't stay silent when feeling in a hopeless place

the Sun & co are as bad as gets anywhere in the world

Goes far beyond pathetic crap banter like paddy power & co

Genuine evil media that obviously draws distain from rest of the world & most sane English

most of us like English people
most English people aren’t little englander small town bigots
Sadly the English national team often attracted these fans but it’s improved

I remember the days when they used Blame United players every time they lost
 
Can't even begin to forget about it while the damn competition is still on,then got those three days until league Cup tie to cope with as well

Now you are making me depressed. If we lose that game it is going to be terrible.

Honestly, that’s so good to hear mate. We might be strangers to each other on a football forum but rest assured posters here were genuinely worried for you. You are not alone, we are all bound by caf anyway. So please reach out whenever you want, would be happy to help.

I wouldn't say they are as bad as anywhere in the world.

But yeah, they're distasteful rags.

Dude, literally send anyone a DM, you've got so many people on here to talk to. You are a champ and you will without a doubt come out your battle a winner. You are worth more than you think.

Careful sonny. You're not on bluemoon now and should be more respectful.
