Saves putting them through university. And Tam worked at the I.R offices. Another transfer of jobs from London to Scotland. My kids were shocked that the shop in the old high street was known as "The Pakis" Broad Glaswegian Accents they had too. Oh yes, talking of Scotland, my son bought me a bottle of GLENMORANGIE Quinta Ruban for fathers day. Allow me to describe it. The finest golden barley and mineral rich water from the Glenmorangie distillery's own Tarlogie springs come together in the tallest whiskey stills in Scotland to produce a spirit of finess

It 'ain't ad bad as you might think. When my family first went to Scotland to stay at our friends house in East Kilbride, Glasgow. They were worried about how their Brother In Law Tam, was going to react. He hated the English with a vengence. We had no idea how he felt about us. It was at our friends 40th birthday Barbie' in June, while I was sheltering from the rain with Tam in the garage, that he told me how the entire family was worried about us meeting him. After spending a weekend with us- playing footie with my nipper in the garden, me singing 'my song' at the family gather

Just adopt the Millwall anthem " Nobody likes us -we don't care ! " Now the other Brit's toy has been broken by the Gerries, what are they going to play with now ? The World Cup has turned into Wimbledon. Us watching a bunch of foreigners win a game we invented. No local interest for us to cheer- or boo ! Oh I don't know tho' ( A. Murray ). Another sport in England run by the 'Old Boys' in Blazers, who would hate to have an English player that drops his H's or swears. No. Theyt want people who spell Fuck- Phuq, get out of the bath to have a Jimmy Riddle and

Kate Moss ???? That skinny, coke snorting tart, would fit right in the T.V's 'Shameless' You like Kate moss ?? If you think that is a good English person, I'd rather you hated us all !!! Ireland is the sidecar and the main land the motorbike- without us, you are going nowhere mate. Kate Moss ?????? FFS !

You are forgiven. I expected little else from a Gooner, who doesn't support a team with Englishmen in it. You lot lost your Englishness yonks ago. Give that young Szczesny a go in goal next season, or we'll have him back at G. Park.

Okay, nid's last word- unless provoked ! Sorry I will bore you with my point about no country ever winning the world cup, under a foreign manager. Our problem as far as I can see is an English problem. Previous WC winners, have been the top teams in the world, with ex player Managers from their own country to take charge. England has some who qualify for the post, but the Suits/ Blazers of the FA, seem to have a mentality that swerves from the obvious choices. Remember Brian Clough- the best manager England never had ? In fact their initials are the most apt in the worl

I got a txt from my mate, telling me that England want a hero's welcome, so they are landing at Glasgow airport ! That's not funny ! I'll spit in his beer tonight.

Win or lose, we are on the booze ! Today's goal was not nearly as close a call as Geoff Hursts. We had a spare one at the end anyway (4-2 ) The only bloke refusing goal line technology in football, was watching today. I hope he chokes on his free dinner. Er, we have beaten Germany since 1966. 1-5 in one game a young lad named Owen got a hat trick.

Joe has a point When Alf Ramsey was asked why he picked a team, that did not include the likes of Jimmy Greaves, he said he wanted team players, not gifted individuals. As for today's game, those who haven't played well in the previous games, kept the same form. Rooney should have been subbed, Joe Cole on earlier- not in the game- in the competition. You can pontificate for ever.... Luckily for fans like myself from the lower leagues, we are used to dissapointment in our football.

Win or lose today- England as a country is partying. Blue sky, 28c+ everyone is out in the garden, smell of barbies. Crates of beer and cider being carted out of Tesco, while a guy drives by with "Vindaloo" playing at full blast on his stereo..... houses, cars, pubs, shops, decked with the St. Georges flag. It is quite a day on our tiny island. you can feel the atmosphere- it's great ! Enger-land !- Enger-land ! " God save our Football team- long live our football team- god save our team. Send them victorious- happy and glorious, long to reign over us- long live our

I thought the younger Africans had blown it early in the second half. The US came out firing on all cylinders and it seemed a win for them was on the cards. Credit to both teams for their sportsmanship and commitment. Neither side were trying to rile an opponent to get them a red card. The Ref' seamed to understand the tension in all the players and made some allowance for it, but kept control. The early goal, made it interesting to watch- America pushing for their equalizer Ghana, very aware of the opponents ability to score. The saves by the African goalie, the breakaways by

Go America tonight, we will have you lot chanting robust football anthems at the opposition supporters in no time. " Who are ya ? Who are ya ?...... " " Your support is Fuxhg shit ! Your support is fuxng shit !.... Sung to the tune of Men of Harlech. I know it all sounds a bit crude, but it is fun at the time ! American football ( soccer) will get the coverage it deserves and a lot of your supporters will get geography lessons at the same time. Rob' Green should get some sort of award from Mr Obama. It was him who gave you that first vital point. O.K Heskey

This world cup is a re run of WWII The French surrendered early. The Americans joined in at the last moment and England have to face the Germans alone ! Oh and the Italians gave up with little resistance !

I 'aint putting any sport down. Show me where I have said American sport in inferior. I am just pointing out that some of you lot in America, are sooooo happy to knock the English at any given opportunity. Sporting or otherwise. You personally, in your bigotry. immaturity, arrogance and particularly ignorance want to separate the English from the other Brit's, so you can critisize the 'Brit''s in the World cup, while excluding the non English. For example- "Scots, welsh and Irish and Celts are not Brit's ! "- Such ignorance is absolutely staggering. What you are inferring is

It's just a Scots attempt at diverting attention from the fact England have won ! The team we beat today scored twice against the US !

If England lose today, my greatest sympathy will be for the traveling fans, who have spent thousands to be there for our team. They played their part, so far the team hasn't. As I have said before, the large majority of England's away support, is drawn from lower clubs. These supporters never get to see the Premiership players live, unless their club has a lucky F.A cup draw against them. I have not watched a 'first division' side play for over 40 years. Tickets for England games at Wembley are a joke. In their season, they don't get to watch games at Old Trafford, Emirates, Stan

I think he is holding fire about Liverpool, in the hope of the England job. He wants to check the security around his house up there too. If he gets the Liverpool job, Kenny Dalgleish will leave the club in protest. Perhaps he read your post, stating that no team has won the Premiership, under an English manager ! It has been won under a Scot- but they don't count as a Brit'

Joe how many countries compete to play in the Ice Hockey/ Baseball World Cup ? How many from African- Middle East- West Indies........ ? Indians are/ have been world champions at our Hockey, but not your one. They are not suited to football. There are very few players at professional level. Their disinterest to the England's W.C. performance is no surprise or concern to me. I suppose I am to American sports what India is to Football. All I am pointing out is, that our sporting short comings are on a world stage- America's aren't. Ask a cross section of the wor

Might as well. They are pretty close personality wise.- (I get the humour ) If Fulham come to Griffin Park next month, there will be a chant from the Terraces of " Hodgson for England ! " I will be the one to start it ! I suggested to a Millwall fan that England should adopt their chant " No one likes us- we don't care ! " His reply was; " After watching Englands first two games. Give me an away match at Griffin Park on a rainy Tuesday evening, any time ! "

Just when you think these posts can't get any stupider- along comes another one ! Yes you have all those minor sports. It is your major sports, on par with our Football, cricket, rugby that you don't compete in and risk getting beaten, at international level. I will repeat. There is a World Cup in all three English sports mentioned. We are willing to play against the best in the world at them. Because the competition is so great at World Cup level, to win it on the rare occasion, is a great accomplishment. It gives the whole country a lift. joeK, says i know nothing a

This post has to be on par with the midlife's- " Scots, Irish and Welsh are not Brit's ! " This is the point I am making. It is our national sport and other countries have beaten us at it. We can live with that. The fact others find our sport challenging and entertaining enough to put a team forward to represent their country in a World cup, is a great compliment. Your 'better athletes' play sports that no one else in the world will challenge them at, because they find them so bloody dull. When there is a Baseball- Basketball- American Football World Cup, tha

Well if Rooney wanted to play along side Heskey, to make him look good- it hasn't worked ! Bring on 'Arry. A London boy, with the Blitz Spirit about him, like Terry and Beck's..... A bit of Geordie like Shearer helps, he can be number two.

You know what ? Now I know why America doesn't play it's top sports on a world stage. It would give others the chance to take the piss out of them, like they do. Keep Baseball, Basketball, NHL within the silver seas- that way we won't look bad at our 'own game' to outsiders, should we lose. Not to mention the shock to the entire nation, with the realization that there may be people living elsewhere in the world, who can beat them at something. Hollywood will have to rewrite the final (losing) score. And we are English ! ! !

I wouldn't mind so much, but his job is to teach Thais English- not British ! Unless they are learning to speak with a Scots- Welsh, or Irish accent ? Any Thai who approaches you with " See you Jimmy ! " or " Top o' the mornin to ya !" will be Vic taught .
