Some fond memories of England long since gone…..Mexico 86, wearing newly purchased shirt with the tournament logo embroided on, sitting on my own in my shitty bedsit watching the Paraguay game fearing the worst, when into the team comes Steve Hodge (loved having a Villa player in the side...the 'judas' soon left us after the tournament but that didn't matter then) Peter Reid and Beardsley....bang! Lineker hatrick…..bingo! Italia 90, Platt vs Belgium…..the great Cameroon game…..England 1 West Germany 1 (Lineker's face) a brilliant piece of drama, great football and a massive depression the night before my birthday as Waddle skied that penalty. Euro 96, attended all the games, brilliant atmosphere, 3 Lions being sung by the whole of Wembley after the Holland game. Another great game vs Germany in the Semi’s. France 98…watching the Argentina game at a works do in some hotel in Blackburn, free drinks flowing…..all good times.
Now when I think of England all that comes to mind and seriously makes me feel nauseous…is;
Talksport, Adrian Durham…ADRIAN FUCKIN DURHAM, Mike Parry, Russell Brand, James Cordon, Dizzee Rascal, The Sun, Harry Redknapp, Terry Venables, Gary ‘dumbing down’ Lineker, Alan Hanson(the BBC is still thankfully great, especially Radio 5, but these two clowns bother more about crap jokes than serious football coverage), Ian 'Moose' Abrahams, Andrew McKenna and his stupid 'exclusive news' that he just read on Sky Sports News, Carlsberg, Supermarkets draping anything they can find in a flag, hundreds of X Factor inspired crap songs, John Terry, Jamie Carragher (go away you glory seeking whiney voiced idiot), Ledley King (all of a sudden can play two games a week), Shaun Wright Phillips (thankfully Walcott is brooding at home, but Wright Phillips??? dear god how bad do you have to be), the culture of ‘Stevie G’ ‘Rio’’JT’ ‘Frank’ etc, God Save The F’ing Queen (life member of the things not to ever be proud of) The FA, Wembley (now, not just a shit hole in a place no one should build a ground, but a shiny, sponsored to fuck, most expensive stadium in the world, shit hole with no pitch), Mark Lawrenson (another lazy, let's make jokes and sod the analysis, moron), Peter Drury…”dare to dream” (it's football, not some 10 year old girls bedtime book you ponce), the various whys and wherefores of our wonderful English media, Henry goody two shoes Winter (does he like everyone?), John Cross, Alan Green, Darren Gough (just simply embarrassing), white shorts? “Joe Cole..the English Messi” (obviously a nice bloke and a half decent player....but being given waaay too much attention) Ian Wright (a horrible bloke when he was a player, even worse now he's 'media darling', stupid adverts………………..
..so good luck to Milner, Warnock and even Heskey and I will enjoy the magical world of 4 weeks of great International football packed with some mouth watering games…but as for “IN-GUR-LUND” ….it’s been stolen and ruined by the chavs, sycophants and media neandethals in the crass world of England 2010.
