Mazzy Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 It's going to be depressing as fuck to see Dunk in there if Stones ends up being too sick to play. Absolutely typical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands, England, Southgate, God Save the King, the FA, beer swilling, piss slinging, chair breaking moron superfans can do one. NUFC is in wor blood. Nothing else comes close. True. Largely because you were shat out by your Ma on that patch of Earth by the Tyne (I presume). My Ma shat me out in Sydney, but I grew up in north London with a Spurs-mad Dad so it’s in my blood, and family, and community. So’s England, albeit a bit more diluted (literally in my case with an Australian mum). One of the things I love about football is that it brings a community together. The irony of course is that it also splits it up - particularly in, say, North London. One of the things I love about international football is that it brings those tribes together. My best memories of England matches involve celebrating with and hugging fans of other teams. If you don’t experience that then fair enough. I think you’re missing out, but that’s life’s rich tapestry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 Feels like there's an all time low in terms of hype for this tournament. Hearing barely any chatter about it, could just be because of the result last week I guess, or the weather being trash, the election and the economy.. Barely seen any tacky car flags.

Presumably because I moved to London when I was young and because of my Dad. Also I suspect partly because of Botham and 1981. For some reason (maybe class ) I was always a bit more ambiguous about the rugby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs is in my blood through my Dad and my childhood. England is also in my blood through my Dad and my childhood. I have some of that patriotism and national pride just as I have some of that Norf London pride. If you don’t then fair enough. A lot of England fans are cunts but every club’s fan base has cunts too - doesn’t mean we stop supporting them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 I don't understand why it's "cool" to hate on our country, we've been brow beaten into disliking anything quintessentially English, the Scottish are proud, the Welsh are too, the Irish, French, hell even the Germans and they have something to definitely not be proud of. Yes, some fans are beer swilling, "Ingeeerrrland" singing, violent neanderthals but that doesn't mean you have to associate with that, there's plenty of whoppers in the NUFC fanbase, does that deter you from the Toon? I won't be joining in with the "Muh England bad" faux moral supremacy thanks, I'll be sat with a few mates, drinking some beers and cheering on MY country, I may have been born here by luck but it won't deter me from loving the place I call home.
