The difference is that the Irish fans support Ireland and all the Irish players. The English fans are City fans who support City fans and hate the rag players, the rag fans hate the City players , the Everton supporters hate the Liverpool players etc. There's no real unity. The entire of Ireland gets behind Ireland. England might if things are going well but the slightest thing goes wrong and it's the Chelsea players fault or the City players fault etc.
There's no real unity and if we could unite just a bit more we might do a bit better.
Yep that's a good point mate. Also enough people slag them off people start believing it and just jump on the Anti England bandwagon, it's a lot easier to slag them off then forget we actually play against an opposition who are playing there heart out as we're a massive scalp.
Fuck me, massive scalp???
We've won one trophy, that in 1966, stop kidding yourself, we grind results out and are piss poor.
Technically miles behind most of the worlds top sides.
I'd rather support a load of kids playing with a coach who wasn't inept and up the 'big players' arses and just fucked off the old guard (golden generation my arse), than this bunch of prima donnas.
But as a cockney you've got to be all patriotic I suppose ;0)
