Whilst that's a crap analogy, because England have a far better chance of winning the euros than we did of winning the FA Cup last season, it still doesn't really make sense. I'd still want Villa to get as far as they can. Certainly if they were in the last 16! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be far more happy with a tournament like Euro 96 than World Cup 2014. We won neither, but defeat in the semis is far more enjoyable and a far better achievement. If competitions mean nothing unless you win them then why do we bother supporting Villa? Edited June 26, 2016 by Stevo985 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 You might enjoy it more, but unless you actually win a trophy, it counts for nothing. That's the problem with football these days too many too prepared to play second best, all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hopefully if we win the Championship, we decline promotion. I'd rather be in something we can actually win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like everyone who just watches Tennis for two weeks during Wimbledon and slags off Murray when he loses a semi/final to one of the greatest players of all time. Still though as much as international football is easy to slag off through the season for the two week breaks to play Andorra and friendlies international tournaments are special. I reckon any ROI fan would've got as much joy if not more from the Brady winner than anything their club team has done in last few years. Same for Wales.

Guest av1 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Most of the rags, radio and social media reporting that Sterling is going to start this evening. If true Roy shoud be sacked on the spot and dragged naked down the Champs-Élysées so fans have the opportunity to throw rotten tomatoes at him.

V01 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 It's actually a clever plan, we struggled against Slovakia because they didn't want the ball. Sterling will prevent that from happening to us tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 If England win tonight, then I think they'll go on to win the whole competition. But I've got a feeling that tonight could provide the tournament's first real memorable moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 We talk about being in the wrong side of the draw. Would playing Belgium in the quarters be easier than playing France. I don't think so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
