Exactly. All these knuckle-draggers on Twitting shrieking DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY?!? I DO etc :rolleyes:
We’ve all seen those types in the pub during an England fixture.

• Face paint on
• Draped in the england flag
• Pint of Fosters in hand
• Pissed out of their heads by the time kick-off arrives

These types get furious if England so-much as concede a throw-in. And Heaven forbid if England don’t score for a ten minute period.

Then come the final whistle and the Three Lions have somehow contrived to lose, these geezers are to be found out side on a pub bench, sobbing their little eyes out as if they’ve just lost a beloved family member. Usually being consoled be a rather embarrassed looking other half.

Embarrassing behaviour for a Tuesday evening.

However, when asked why they never joined the Army, they always reply “Well, there’s nothing worth fighting for in this Country any more!”

Very patriotic. :rolleyes:

I see nothing wrong in wearing a shirt supporting either your club, whichever sport that may be, and a national team, whichever that may be.
Personally I wear a Saracens shirt, I've worn the London Welsh shirt, I wear a Wales shirty and also a Six Nations one, but I've never ever paid for one and the person who did pay never ever paid more than a fiver.
I did mention that my daughter paid 10 quid for a six nations one, but even she said that she wouldn't pay more than 20 as 'I'm not that bloody stupid' :lol:

The clubs know that people will pay over the odds to have the latest kit and so they price over the odds, and if sales aren't as expected they lower the price by a tenner and the dopes lap it up, and the club is laffing all the way to the bank.
If the London Borough of Barnet isn't in London where is it?

I'll say soccer whenever I want to soccer soccer soccer soccer bloody soccer
Sent from my Advent Monza S200 so bloody old I can't remember when I bought it
