Ooh wow, I'm the worst poster for posting facts :lol:

That's because you lot haven't the slightest fecking clue what you're on about :lol:

For point 2, the welsh and Scottish national teams are filled with English players who qualify for wales/Scotland through some stupid rule where they have a welsh/Scottish grandparent.

The Scotland squad particularly is very heavy with englishmen, the welsh have a bit more pride in themselves, even if there's one or two English players in the mix.

All the premier league home kits



I know I'll be called biased for saying this, but the Hull City kit is a real beauty. The colours really make it stand out against the usual common blues, reds and whites the majority of clubs wear.

Silverware, we don't care, we follow hull city everywhere!

Di Matteo?

:lol:

Can you hear yourself?

RDW - I think you have a point. Football culture is similar in almost all countries world wide. Everyone puts their own slant on it, which is a good thing - wouldn't it be boring if we all sung and did the same things - but from what I gather (and I hold my hand up I hardly watch any American sport so I could be completely wrong here) American style sport support is the kind of thing that football culture turns it's nose up at. Stuff like cheerleaders, goal music, face paint, foam hands and such. There are one or two clubs in England who use these methods (namely Crystal palace) and they get ridiculed for it.

I read a bit from an English journo during the World Cup who said (trying to quote from memory) "and along comes team usa in it's usual pompous bombastic fashion, strutting about with a giant eagle on it's chest". When we over here saw that "I believe we will win" it was pretty much what we all thought, it was a head in hands moment thinking "what the feck are these lot doing" not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

I think he's right that you need to be more English but less English, as ridiculous as that sounds. You need to have your own style of support, it's no good just copying us, but it should be less foam hands, face paint, army recruitment style chants, because in doing those things you'll never really fit in.

Not sure that makes a great deal of sense. Don't really know how to explain it.

And why exactly was that post 'shiting up this board'?

Do you like Greg Dyke?

There are two different sports known as simply 'football' around the world, and ones an imposter.

Or do you also call the imposter American football?

If so, I wasn't aware of that fact. Though I suspect it's not the case.

Diddums.

Europes best fans can't handle being our shadow.

Sorry, best fans in Europe?

Yeah, right!

:lol: :moon:

We currently have 23 seniors/first teamers on the books and looking to add 3 more to that. None of those are dross either, the worst of them is a top championship quality player, the calibre of which TWS could only dream of having after letting McCormack go.

On top of that we have a good number of very promising young players coming through the development squad if we ever need to dip in there for a bit of depth.

I'm sure a squad of 26 can cope just fine, don't worry about us. We'll enjoy our European adventure whilst you lot are marching on together to the dizzy heights of league one. :doublebird:

Fancy yourself as a comedian too I see.

Of course you will be.
