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

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

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

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.

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

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

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
― coopflaggypost (Noodle Vague), Monday, 2 July 2012 00:06 (eleven years ago) link
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.
