England V Italy, Quarter Final 2012 (merged)

Re: England and Italy - quick straw poll.

No, and I want Balotelli to have a 'mare.
I don't get those wanting him to play well, it's like as if they want the world to see him do well so that they can convince themselves he's a bit good. He's a good player, and he plays his club football for us. Tonight though he plays for Italy and if he's as good as he and many others think he is, he will hopefully get sent off after Lescott has wound him up too much and we will go on and win.

because that wouldn't hurt team unity at all. ffs

Well no because this is now, pre season for City is then. The Ronaldo and Rooney incident in 2006 didn't exactly hurt United the following season did it?
Tonight is England v Italy, nothing to do with City or any other club.

Engerland, what's to like?

The founders and developers of the sport we love. The rules of the game created in the Midland Hotel in town. The fantastic Wembley Stadium (past and present), the home of football. The National Football Museum at the Urbis. The great White shirt. The great badge with Three Lions. The star above the badge showing that we are one of just eight countries to have won the World Cup. Jules Rimet. Frank Swift, Dixie Dean, Bobby Moore, Kevein Keegan, Gary Lineker, Paul Gascoigne, Joe Hart, Jack Wilshire. Italia'90. New Order "World In Motion", Keith Allen, the John Barnes rap. Euro'96. Baddiel&Skinner "Three Lions", fantasy football. "Vindaloo". Great, some of the absolute best, fans in tournament football. "...some of the people are on the pitch, they think it's all over, it is now, it's four..." and of course being proud of this great country we live in!

ENGERLAND, ENGERLAND, ENGERLAND, ENGERLAND, ENGERLAND, ENGERLAND, ENGERLAND, ENGERLAND, ENGERLAND, ENGERLAND, ENGERLAND.

Unchanged line up apparently.

Anyone who is English and wants Italy to win seriously needs a slap.

Any City fan cheering rags on needs a bigger slap.

He'll be as confused as fuck if we get Portugal in the final.

I beleive that you can leave you tribal allegiances behind when it come to the national team, it's a team representing our nation (if your English that is) we may not like the the cast but we can enjoy the play

Re: England and Italy - quick straw poll.

It ruin ruin your evening to think of someone you will never meet being happy that our country has progressed? You are very odd.

So when you see the enemy celebrating, you like it because you don't know the player personal?! This is a bizarre remark, swp. Get Scotty to beam you up,ffs.

Enemy? What are you on about? They are enemies in a footballing sense when playing against City. They are playing with our players for England though. I'm English, I support my national team. That is not bizarre in the least. In fact, looking at this thread it seems that 90% of people are on my mind set.

You do realise that Hart and Rooney are good mates don't you? They holiday together abroad in the summer. If they can get over petty club loyalties when representing the country then so can I.

SWP, you're wrong. It has nothing to do with petty club loyalties. I say it yet again. I just don't know what there is to like. Perhaps you can enlighten me.

 

[SWP's back]

So I presume you'll be wanting Spain (and Silva) to go out in the semi's along with Italy and Balo then?

????
where did you get that nonsense logic???He just wants England to win because he is English.

Any one who wants England to lose because seeing terry and Rooney on the screen hurts their little teenage-like feelings is an idiot.

Ok I'll go slowly as this may be difficult to understand.

What. the. fuck. are. you. on. about?

My post was to damocles who wants England to go out so that the City lads get home earlier. If you read the last few pages, I very much want England to progress.<br /><br />-- Sun Jun 24, 2012 5:00 pm --<br /><br />

No no, I'm the biggest blue.

Any Englishman/woman who wants England to fail because a few of the players play for the rags are not wired up right. If, hypothetically, we all ended up at war and they were in the trenches with you, you'd be glad they were there...on your fucking side. You absolute mards. Just start hating them again when we've gone out. Pathetic. Bitter cunts.
