wiggyrichard Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 People wanting France to win just because some of the England players are tossers!?!? Dear oh dear. Whats wrong with that? The fact that your English and have to ask say's it all. So do this lot represent england well then? Proud of them are you? Did you not support Villa this season? Were you proud of Collins, Delph and Herd's actions? Do you feel they represented Villa well or did you want us to lose because of them? Ridiculous. No, i stopped going last season as it was a disgrace to the club. I am very patriotic, i love chips for example, im just not into mindless pseudo patriotism. It`s the countries football team not the country itself, its not war its sport. Come to think of it i don`t support the wars we have been in lately either. Yes, its not war...so why the **** are you so bothered about whether the players are nice people?? Support the team not the individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I dont understand how when a Villa fan can boo Gerrard and give him abuse when hes in a Liverpool shirt, yet bow down to him like hes a hero in an England shirt. I hate him in both shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 People wanting France to win just because some of the England players are tossers!?!? Dear oh dear. Whats wrong with that? The fact that your English and have to ask say's it all. So do this lot represent england well then? Proud of them are you? If not and we are just supporting english people then we should all get behind gary glitter, he`s english. Its the English national football team...i just find wanting your national team to lose very sad and pathetic tbh. Not sure how you can really bring the whole Gary Glitter thing to the argument? And rapist, murderer, child sex offender et. would never be picked to play for England and would more than likely be in jail. So that argument is pretty stupid. Im English, regardless of who is in charge or playing, i want us to win. I used a silly example to make a point about mindless nationalism to try and keep it light. Just supporting anything english is silly. You said it yourself, it is the national football team, its not the nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiggyrichard Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I honestly cant see how someone can stand there and say "im English, proud & patriotic" then follow that by saying "but i want us to lose" etc..

Like Kurt said to you, there are tossers in the Villa dressing room and there always will be, so you either support them or you dont. Have you ever wanted England to do well?

I wouldn't defend this country if it was attacked and wouldn't go to war for it. Its not worth defending, Id be off to another country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that, I have bets on the French. Money is my motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
