# haha not seen that
but it represents the first world cup i remember watching. It did not make me feel sad, despite my love for Gazza.

I hope this england team are good enough to achieve such a glorious failure this year :)

Edit: oh, I understand completely, just don't share that particular viewpoint. I'm a bit bicurious regarding england... I enjoy watching them play well and win, but the possibility of a more relevant trophy win than the completely irrelevant 1966 terrifies me, so I tend to be relieved when they get beaten.

# and the flip side of that Scottish coin, I fucking hate the England team and I hope they get pumped out

# see, I don't mind your lot
and always want them to do well.

As I do with all the home nations.
And Ireland

# haha I don't mind your lot either, till they walk onto a pitch ;)
to be honest it's not really the team I hate..it's the hype around them.

# I thought you'd approve of that...
given the inevitability of the associated comedown.

# see this is how I feel
football's absolutely brilliant as long as I'm in a park and kicking the ball around with my mates, but as soon as there's any kind of professional element involved it just seems to turn people into arseholes

# I think a lot of England fans feel the same way
I know I do

# exactly, that's what i was trying to explain above
i like most of the players, I just don't like anything else about the england national team.

# The parallels were quite striking between then and now
A press who claim to want us to do well, yet scupper us at every opportunity;
An obscenely talented youngster with a temperament problem;
Several players at the last chance saloon;
Formation uncertanties;
And heavy handed local police spoiling for a fight.

It's well worth a watch, and the book is better.
Cracking soundtrack too, and Gary Oldman narrates it, which makes the hooligan scenes a little difficult to watch, as he will alwys be Bex to me
