Dave Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I don't see the issue with preferring our players to do well, England is my country but the side is full of the same horrible pricks it has for years and they play boring, insipid football. The media are detestable and the coverage and hype nauseating. Couldn't give a fuck if we go out at the earliest stage, I'd rather just watch some good football. The last World Cup was fucking disgraceful IMO and for me it was the final straw, particularly given the net result of the FA's 'root and branch investigation' was that Emile Heskey retired. It's a pity I feel this way about our national team but I do. Fuck them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Most England fans probably came out of the last World Cup admiring and applauding Germany for showing up those fools in the England set up. That takes some doing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniatmoko Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 We more likely get more France national team players rather England (cheaper cost). So support France is obvious choice to add more reputation getting more French. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Most England fans probably came out of the last World Cup admiring and applauding Germany for showing up those fools in the England set up. That takes some doing The "celebrities vs footballers" line was one of the best bits of analysis I've ever heard. Dave is exactly right. The fact that Jack Wiltshire is "our" great footballing hope for the next 10 years makes me sick, for a few reasons. If Newcastle were the club equivalent of England I'd have probably stopped liking football years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Best beer ive had is Hofbrau...unbelievable brew. Coronas are lovely on a 40 degree summers day here in oz though. Nothing beats it. Always have it at home. That and Becks Gold. Did really my one sentence make this into a beer debate? Decent. Are you living in Germany David, if so whereabouts? Easily my favourite country to visit in Europe. In Bavaria. Near Augsburg / Munich. My favourite beer anywhere in the world is a draught Aventinus at the Weisse Bräuhaus in Munich.

Cajun Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Don't have half the passion/excitement for International football that I do for Newcastle but it's sad seeing so many English people not giving a fuck/wanting us to do badly.

This is the same gormless prick who was being laughed at up and down the country when he struggled to hold down a starting place in the Liverpool team.

GoranBadlund Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I can really understand you guys if it's hard support a team with the likes of Terry, Cole, Gerrard, Young, Downing, Carroll etc... It's sad in one way...to not be able to get behind your national team to 100% but well yeah, the team is full of c***s that we all love to hate in the Premier League.

Cajun Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Again OUR? As fans we have different opinions to the media and management, we don't deserve to fail. Tbh Newcastle are my team, I want Newcastle to do well above all else. England are that other team I have a soft spot for, would love them to win something, will support them and be gutted when they lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I'd like a young, ambitious England side full of hungry players who I can really get behind. If I get that, I'll support England more I mean I watch them and want them to do well, but winning/losing doesn't affect me like it does with NUFC.

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Personally i don't like the players combined with the fact i haven't felt attached to the national team since Shearer retired means i just couldn't really give a toss. I feel that just because iam English don't mean i should have to support or care about a team which is feel of players i don't like professionally and personally. The whole not feeling attached to the team emotionally since Shearer retired is just second nature but its still a reason none the less. I would love to support them but i dont feel any reason to do so, its been the same since 2002 i just support NUFC players on international duty ( although a lot of the time the representation is scarce) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It's really hard to like any of the starting 11. I like Hart and thats about it, I'd probably like Parker as well if his time here wasn't so shit. Unlike the Euro 96 squad, Pearce, Adams, Ince, Gazza, Shearer, Sheringham were all admired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity I feel this way about our national team but I do. f*** them. I feel the same way and have done apart from when Bobby was manager and Waddle, Gazza and Beardsley were playing. For most of my time as a football supporter England have mainly been a team full of players who play for teams I can't stand during the season so why change once the season is over?
