I wish they would just ban international football,its a waste of time!
agree ... cant stand it
And it seems to be getting worse. This season has been interrupted three times already and we're only in October. It's ridiculous. And why do we need to trash two entire weeks of the domestic season to accommodate England games. That never used to be the case. Internationals used to be played mid week and didn't disrupt club football on anything like this scale. And international friendlies in places as far flung as Australia and Japan can't be helping. WTF are Holland doing playing a friendly in Australia, FFS? Just an absolute nonsense.

Allthough i agree about too many internationals, friendlies mid season should be abolished.

I can understand views from both sides whether to support England or not. I really liked imaculate pasta's post though and agree. I just wonder though, is there any other countries where nationals are so anti patriotic? Just wondering?

With regard to supporting or not supporting the England team, I'm afraid I can't stand them.
I was born here and have watched City all my life and can just remember the days when Colin Bell and Franny Lee played for England. That was all right but I was only 8 in 1970 and didn't know any better. Since those days though, it seemed that as long as you played for United, you were automatically selected. When United bought Smith, the Yorkshire badge-kisser, from Leeds, he was called up for England before he had kicked a ball in earnest.
I suppose that watching the side crammed full of players with no connection to City has detached us a bit.
I will admit to being a bit gutted when Bobby Robson's side missed out against Germany and I would probably love it if 'we' won the World Cup, but I also loved it yesterday when Ferdinand f**cked up and Green-sleeves got his marching orders. Why Green was playing ahead of David James is a mystery to me. I know they had already qualified but leave James in goal - he is the best English keeper.

I have just had a thought:
If they brought back the Home Internationals we would all support England. It's all the galavanting around the world for meaningless games that ruin it. All the international breaks during the season don't help the momentum.
