This was actually a serious question – your Prime Minister wants to hang an England flag outside No 10 for the duration of the world cup and he's getting slated for it. You have a team at the tournament, presumably you'd like them to do well, why not show your support?

Scotland would be cheering their team if they'd got through for sure 🙂

because lets be honest;

We're a small, bancrupt island nation stuck in the north atlantic with a regressive government and generaly hate everyone on all sides (the french, the germans, the ammericans, etc etc etc). However now that most people have realied our diminished global influenece is even more rapidly dwindling and no one could really give a monkeys poop about what we say we've turned that hate inwards and now just hate ourselves.

There's a fine line between success and failure.

It's called Hadrians Wall.

Troll 🙁

irrelevant. We're responsible for what we do, not what others do

i'm not responsible for what you do

I'm very patriotic, it just has nothing to do with football. 🙂

I think we need a list.

We're blaming
1. Thatcha
2. Thatchers Cide
3. Vlad the impaler
4. Nelson Mandella

I'm going to add James Corden, Patrick Stwewart and the Chuckle Brothers to the list.

Any more?

You have a team at the tournament, presumably you'd like them to do well, why not show your support?

it would make no difference to me if everyone forgot how to play football tomorrow. I'm just not interested in who wins stuff.

OP I'm interested in bikes, in 6 months you've shown no interest. You're on the wrong forum surely………

I'm blaming the weather. And the Welsh.

the Chuckle Brothers

to be fair to them they're good at passing;

"To me"
"To you"

And SFB
😉

English people are not unpatriotic, we just don't generally feel the need to shout about it all the time. 😉

Well sfb's to blame for everything so essentially a moot point.

I also blame God (in whichever flavour you choose) since everything is his will.

Patriotism is good, and the English should be proud of their country and flag.

It was built to keep the barbarians out. What puzzles most Scots is why the barbarians were so obliging as to build it 🙂

I'd like to say something about this, but I've been told to "give it a rest"… 😆

I hadn't realised my burden of guilt was so deep 🙁

Give it a rest, Woppit 😉

I blame Mr Woppit

I also blame Dawkins. Bl00dy atheists.

I blame the volcano

I blame Hong Kong Phooey

And most of all, I blame the Romans.

Ah no, don't hold back..

And most of all, I blame the Romans

Yeah ….

What have the Romans ever done for us ?

your Prime Minister wants to hang an England flag outside No 10 for the duration of the world cup and he's getting slated for it.

Probably in case it 'upsets' someone who's not English, & I don't mean Scottish/Welsh/Irish/American/Canadian/any European….ahh you know what I mean, I just daren't say it in case it sounds racist.

Doh, silly me.

I forgot.

I blame the electorate

I just daren't say it in case it sounds racist.

If it looks like a duck…..

I wouldn't have said the Italians are barbarians…. 😛

It could be a goose, depends on how good your eyesight is.

No, not really.

p.s. why should I be patriotic? I didn't get to choose which country I was born in.

i blame spartacus

No, I blame Spartacus!

I am Tiger Woods

I am Giselle!

It could be a goose, depends on how good your eyesight is.

And who de-regulated the UK optical retail sector?

See, see?

well hello there

why not show your support?

I am.

But I don't expect every other English-born person to – they have a choice.

And not every Scotch would support Scotland if they were in the tournament.

Maybe the people living in England at the time the Romans arrived would differ from your opinion 🙂

Swan long neck, Goose long neck, Owl short neck but swivels.

I blame it on the boogie!

I am sfbarticus

yep, I think they would. Anyway the romans had already battered the bollocks out of the scots at the battle of mons grappus. Latest thinking is they built the wall to grow vines up.

Ahh, see well what he was trying to say was that the English built the wall and were the barbarians. But the Romans (Probably aided by the British of the time, granted) built it, didn't they?

And since then the Anglo Saxons, Danish and Normans have colonised England. So it ain't diddly sqaut to do with us, chap! 😉
