    Well, you can hardly blame it on the good times or moonlight can you?

    From a distance, could a duck-billed platypus look like a duck? Or will it always look more like what would be produced if a duck had drunk two too many B52s in a Yates and woken up naked next to a rabbit and a beaver?

    I like footie but only at Football League club level.

    International football is about as interesting as a rained-off cricket match. IMHO of course

    It's like the difference between a stoat and a weasel:

    A stoat is weaselly identifiable, but a weasel is stoatally different……

    Hope this helps.

    If it wasn't for this forum I wouldn't have been aware that there was a football tournament taking place..

    I had noticed the proponderance of patriotic flags on some of my neighbours cars.. but they were all being flown from the cars of my most ignorant, thuggish and racist neighbours… so I just assumed it was a political thing…

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

    Ahh the Scots never like to be told that the Scotii were an Irish tribe, the Anglo-Saxons colonised the Lowlands and the Vikings the colonised most of the rest.
    Without Edward Longshanks there'd be no Scotland we'd all be one happy British family (apart from the Welsh of course).

    i'm pretty sure we can blame this on the welsh.

    It's been mentioned in the media a couple of times.
    Even in the papers without skin.

    You misunderstand – it's cool to be able to prove you have no interest in football.

    It means that the trails will be fairly quiet, even more so the roads.
    Should be some good training to be had.

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

    I like riding bikes – it's not exactly a team sport and all that wearing a uniform and kissing each other just cos you got your ball through the two posts more times than the other person did… do me a favour.

    As for patriotism, where does it stop/start? am I a midland-er, a Southern-er, a Northern-er a Brit, English, a European, fool for taking the trolls bait (well that's a given)?

    ….The list is endless now be off with you and ask someone who can only function as part of a group on another forum on another website. I'm off up the mountains on my own on my bike where I don't need hundreds gurning thugs to argue over if I'm any good at it despite the fact that a statistical list proves quite conclusively what my achievements have been and are available for comparison with other groups.

    Nope – a random guess by a random bloke on a forum won't spoil the actual real game for me come Saturday night as I sit in the pub with my mates with a pint in hand.

    Isn't there a rather big team based cycling competition taking place soon? As for silly uniforms, cycling is certainly up there with some of the silliest.

    we live in a sh1te country, with a sh1te government, sh1tey weather, and it's full of little sh1tes that run around shooting people because the police are sh1te!

    Parctical Matt:
    I though riding bikes was a team sport? At least on the road.

    As for kissing:

    This thread is getting confusing – I've forgot who I'm blaming for what and nobody will tell me what the difference is between a Ferret and a Goose…………….

    "being patriotic can give you cancer.. says so in the Daily Mail"

    Presumably that makes me the most patriotic bastard here!

    Well yes, you may have a point on the team ethos, but playing football on your own is a lot less satisfactory compared to riding a bike and ask anyone who won the TDF and they'll say the cyclists name not the team ditto motorsport.

    I can just get up and go for a ride, if I want a game of football it has to involve at east one other person.

    As for uniform, I meant compulsory wearing of a team colours to identify yourself not sport specific clothing, I'd hardly call my ski jacket a uniform.

    Ugh, the lure of the troll… I'm being drawn in.

    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?

    Because he's the prime minister of great britain – not just england

    Matt, you forgot about the kissing:

    And surely, even though you ride alone, I bet you still identify yourself as a member of a certain subgroup:
    Fixie/singlespeed/beard/shaved legs/always in lycra, always in baggies etc…..

    As for patriotism, I think you're allowed to decide for yourself how patriotic you want to be.

    I restrain myself to tutting/smiling at the amusing habits of
    foreigners (the death penalty, lederhosen etc) and misplaced pride for a golden age that never was.

    I won't be waving any flags, but hope England win the World Cup, because I am an Englishman.
