EURO 2012

dorrans isnt a clogger, hes pretty nifty

and yeah i was responding to sky news and their gloating at epl 3 serie a 0

after euros finishing i am bereft.

ya, i just wanna rewind my life 3 weeks and start it all again.

im realizing how im kicking english fitba a lot right now but it's just sitting blind drunk and vomitstrewn on a surrey golf course and it's just asking for a five iron's coup de grace to the temple

not gonna stop til phil jones and daniel sturridge are the only english players in the epl

yeah see i was already itching to get back into the epl swing of things even before tonight's festivities

i mean i do know in my heart of hearts it's deplorable in every way but i guess in a general sense i'm still loving da banta as it were

You guys. I feel like I've been demobbed, six weeks of respite isn't long enough.

Give it a week and I'll be agog at Terry with the rest of you.

<3 nakh

Not read thread yet, hope nobody's giving it the ”are they STILL boring now eh? Eh?” after that. Cos that's the first ambitious spanish performance i've seen this tournament.

They are incredible tho.

epl last year was great but maybe i'll follow the bundesliga next year

trouble is that everyone apart from the top six kinda bleeds into one, you don't get content like qpr or west ham

i keep watching those two through balls over and over and over they're just incalculable

^ same here

if you're talking about the first two goals, i mean

i missed the first half and watching it now, casillas' fingertips were men of the match contenders

each one of his fingertips from I to XI was different class

i just find it funny that fans of england, scotland etc can call anyone boring

― it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper)

i believe that noted ilfer 'darraghmac' tackled this very subject with aplomb in the post-wc2012 depression thread on ilx- epl fans' addiction to drama has left them bereft of patience/tolerance for the style of possession and movement that is required for consistent success in international tournaments

the wc, you will have noted, took place in 2010

nakhers man even for you ur damn near foaming at the mouth when it comes to great brit clogging lately, whats up

did a white van man draw a cock n balls on your moleskine or something

was thinking this also, but didn't want to start some row by saying it. i assumed these feelings were just more prominent due to the brief fervour about england/roy.

exorcising the zeitgeist never as U&K as when the english feel optimistic about football imo, usually means that postpub kickings are due a rise and probable invasion of a developing nation is just around the corner

think we're at capacity at the mo for finding small strategically located countries to have "wars" in

tournament football turns me into the biggest anti-english cunt in the world purely due to the coverage that you get in britain. yet i'll still be dribbling, like nakh, all over whatever monikered epl thread - which will have more posts in it than all of ilf combined - in a few weeks time.

i know that all commentating is horrible, but from the commentating that i have experienced and can understand (scottish, english, spanish, latin american), english is the most parochial and infuriating.

xp i dunno, i hear liz and philip were on a fucking scouting mission again lately

tell you what re commentating, ray fuckin houghton forced me to watch the final on itv. that's alarming.

even the picture seemed worse on ITV

I actually flicked between ITV, BBC, and RTE. Gave 'em all 15 minutes each per half. They're all shit btw

would "worst commentator on british tv for euro 2012" be a good thread, yes or no?

craig burley for me. or maybe lawro. lawro's puns were making me want to cry.

burley easily

The champion/burley combo is truly the worst. Peter Drury is up there though.

there was very little public enthusiasm tho, far fewer england flags on cars, very few supporters travelling, no reports of the usual post-exit riots in croydon and birmingham etc -- the worst patriotism queens in london this year are alas the bourgie shitheads with their union bunting tea parties (eugh)

this year it felt like the media really had to step in with the obnoxiousness -- the post group stage topofthefackinworld boosterism, chiles wishing ibrahimovic to get injured, bright doing his bit for nominative determinism, lawrenson hitting new lows of disinterest, lineker's hatefully joyless 'come on england', martin samuel saying all sorts of stupid things you didn't read cuz well good for you

lineker welcoming us in for halftime in the portugal-espana game with 'well that was boring' was kinda all-time

just warming up for the Olympics which if i gave enough of a shit about to watch more than the 100m will be fully by jingo horrendous

you've got andy murray in the wimbledon final to look forward to before then NV

like the dolts i see with union jacks waving from their cars are certainly desperate for any excuse to flaunt one

i kinda like Murray as a bloke i just hope he drops some "fuck off Englishes" funny if he gets to the final

still think he'll choke tho

yeah it's difficult not to like his surliness, lack of social skills and estrangement from home counties LTA pieties

look forward to him accidentally saying something offensive about bonnie prince charlie or margaret thatcher at some point

this used to be the No. 1 result for "i hate andy murray" but has sadly fallen off in recent times

http://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2009/06/i-hate-andy-murray/

I think Andy Murray is the most loathsome thing to represent “British” sport this guy is not “British” he is Scottish, most of the English cannot stand his conderscending and patronising swagger and mannerisms. The other thing is all of the idiots dresed up is union flag clothing (made in China) looking like the Chavs they are jumping on the badwaggon of some nasty guy. The guy is Scottish, just like David Coulthard and Colin McRae. They do not represent the English or the Welsh or the Irish. The notion of British is convoluted rubbish and Anrew Murray is the prime example of Media bandwagoning and “I think I am the best” Murray.

missing a "cockroach" or 2 but otherwise why i find Murray pretty defensible

andy murray is a cunt. just because he disgusts the english by simultaneously never winning a grand slam and not being english does not make him ok. there's no good guy in this story.

guys can we just go back to the fact the spain has basically solved football forever

does andy murray like twilight tho

these are the only questions left now

just

just imagine tho

how good would spain be

with a BIG MAN up front like

to get on the end of it

make things happen, for the weemen to run onta

new challenge -- gis a picture of andres inesta looking smug

the smuggest thing is that you know he is so smug inside but just continues looking like casper the friendly ghost so indie people who hate ronaldo and find messi too good will continue to have him as their favourite player

p sure il papa didn't f/w ghosts, tho this also shoots my vampire theory out the water too
