A place called maioris. It's nice and quiet. Perfect for kids as there's no lairy teenagers partying all night.

The new look England struggling to look anything other than third rate.

I don't understand why that's smile worthy or good? Unless you're not English, obviously.

Me neither. While I'm very much 'meh' about England lately (well, for several years), I take no pleasure in them being crap.

You guys must have missed the memo that it's very edgy and cool to hate the national team.

Pulled through in the end. I think it's now understood that the national side isn't terribly good at this football lark.....however fans expect a bit of effort and we had that. Also well done to the Ulstermen... got a £ billion from the Tories and now heading for a WC PO, been a good summer for them. Great performance from Froggy's mob yesterday... drawing 0-0 in Paris with Juncker's boys. Not sure whether the second and third highest transfer value players of all time got a game

Don't think it's anything to do being "edgy and cool", well not for me anyway.
I'm just fed up with them. It's been a steady downhill spiral since Euro '96, the so called golden generation underachieved massively IMO, the current team is nowhere as good as they were.
It's just a case of losing interest in them from me. I wasn't annoyed in the slightest when Iceland done us in the Euros, if anything it was a bit amusing.

People have been saying 'I hope they get stuffed' and suchlike about the England team for donkey's years. I think Nick Hornby might have even talked about it in Fever Pitch.

Enjoying football is definitely something in the past for me, Swindon and England in the early to mid 90s was great fun. Last 20 years? Nah.

I'd go so far as to say England doing badly is a source of pleasure. It's not England doing badly that I enjoy, per se, more the fruits of the FA's continued greed being so visible.
I look at England as representative of everything that's bad about modern football I suppose.
And I FUCKING hate that shitcunt band.

I like it that supporting England has fallen out of favour.... in the 70's 80's it was pretty much something only done by a relatively small number.
You could happily watch an England game in a pub with a few other diehards....tournaments like the rapid fire Euros, played out in empty stadia, watched by the hardcore getting tear gassed.
Then Italia 90, put a stop to that...with its fucking opera singers and Gazza blubbing. Can you imagine Nat Lofthouse doing that? No me neither. TBF though Bobby Charlton used to get a bit lachrymose, but he had an excuse having survived Munich, but his upper lip soon stiffened.
Sadly though, the sea change of 90, paved the way for the Prem. Happily STFC, still just about operates on traditional values.

I feel similarly about England as I do about Swindon and Britain as a whole. It's all become a bit shit, I've lost a lot of my interest, retain some semblance of loyalty against my better nature, but protect my sanity by trying not to take any of it too seriously.
