The England Thread


Pilko

Recommended Posts

I changed my opinion on Italians recently. Met loads in Oz and they were the soundest guys I'd met. One of them thought Hatem Ben Arfa is one of the best footballers in the world.

 

He knows.

 

Apparently Juventus fans like us because of the colours, quite a lot.

Had a thought about going to the friendly tonight. The dismissed it like, it'll be shit.

 

How much does it cost to go and watch England these days?

 

If watching England didn't include taking a day (or two) off work and an overnight stay I'd be tempted to go down sometime.

Ticket Prices: £40, £35, £30, £25 (Family Enclosure - £20 Adults/£10 Children U16)

 

Thats for tonight. Was about £20 more for the qualifiers i think.

1998 (February 11) England 0-Chile 2 (Friendly).avi

 

on the Yoochoobz if anyone's feeling nostalgic.  Royston Hodgson in the studio anarl.

 

Hoddle's last game iirc, it was blatantly apparent he'd lost the dressing room, due to his odd reincarnation comments and Eilean Drewery's participation in his ethos, like.

Hoddles last was 1999. His ED comments were around the 1998 WC

Obviously I don't remember correctly :) but I do remember an abject England performance which was unusual for Hoddle's England. Looking at his team selection though I can see why. We were missing a few and both Phil Neville and Andy Hinchcliffe started.

Ours is the worst of the worst.

 

:lol:  Moderate in your opinions as always.

 

Our national anthem may be unexciting, but it has a beginning, a middle and an end and flows fairly naturally in between. That Chilean one - like several others - just wanders all over the place and is too strident.

 

Personally I wish we could nick the Welsh anthem. Honourable mention to the French too.

This is true, i know quite a lot of Juventus fans through my college days and they absolutely adored the fact i supported Newcastle :lol:

Chile were superb that night.  Mind you, we did give Dion Dublin a cap.  :anguish:

 

Owen's debut?

 

Aye.

 

I well remember around these parts being slated for saying that Dion Dumpling wouldn't go to France. Cov fans still tell me to this day that he was a better striker than Sir Les. :lol:

What? :lol:

 

If you want a response, you need to expand on that.

 

And a yellow card for selective quoting.

I'm going to the Jormany game, not sure if they'll be any tempo or if it'll be pre-seasonish as they try and avoid injuries :dontknow:
