[The perfect fumble]

Denmark is one of the best countries in the world to live in.
I'm glad England won but I think the hype surrounding it all is totally out of proportion partly because everything else here is so shit at the moment. It shouldn't be seen as such a huge achievement.

Yep, I've always thought understatement was one of our defining virtues.

 

[The perfect fumble]

It's a cultural trait of little Englanders who still live in the 1700s when Britain ruled the ruled the world and everyone knew their place in it.


It's a semi final win which is being treated like England have won the world cup. Getting sick of BBC News spending most of the hour taking about it and bigging them up.

In a sea of shit a single piece of toilet paper gives the illusion of relief.

Media et al all going on about the penalty. If it was any other English player they would not even be questioning it. Media are all utter wank stains and I hate every last one of the fuckers

That'll be the same media wank stains that have been lauding bent penalties awarded to rags and dippers for the past few years. They really are vomit inducing fuck-wits.

What a shame that all those running down this country and its citizens didn't get away to live in Europe or wherever. They are reduced to constant political moaning on a football forum the day after we qualify for a major final.
The Same Old Suspects are certs on many a bingo card.
I can't see them stuffed into airless container trying to get to their various utopias in the way that large numbers of desperate people do in trying to get into 'this fucked up country'.

Do you read the headlines of the Daily Mail/Express/Daily Star/*** ***


They've published worse xenophobic headlines/articles and will continue to do so. If Italy win thanks to a dodgy decision those comments in a Danish paper, no doubt posted to trigger the little Englanders will look mild In comparison.

Do you think we should be holding ourselves to the standards of the "headlines of the Daily Mail/Express/Daily Star"?

Suggesting that xenophobia is acceptable if it triggers another countries xenophobes isn't where I'd like the moral high ground to be :)

Sure - but "they have nothing else" is offensive.

There are lots of great things about Denmark, but that comment is patronising and arrogant - something we know all about from our own press.

Not forgetting the pen. awarded to the scum after the game was over.
