England Fans.....

Is there even a remote part of you that would be slightly relieved if England did not qualify for the next World Cup?

A City season ticket holder on my team brought this up yesterday. I was baffled at first and said

“That would be embarrassing!"

Her response was,

“with the current state of the team would it? And at least we’d be able to enjoy the World Cup without having to get pi$$ed off at our dismal showing".


Me? I’d still rather England qualified for the tournaments even though I have fallen out of love with the international game. Sooner or later our “team" of under-performers surely have to get over that mental block that makes them freeze when they get to a major tournament?!

For me it must be some kind of mental block, because in the 2nd half against Iceland, I kept waiting for them to improve on their first half showing and if anything they were worse. Yes Roy was inept but that does not excuse the players’ showing against Iceland.

Back in the day ecstacy, speed, cannabis and booze were my drugs of choice. I tried lots of others but they didnt do it for me so much. These days a few beers is my limit and I use my experiences to teach kids that drugs are not good.

I knew loads of people who had mental breakdowns from to much ecstasy, mental health problems like paranoia and depression from cannabis, anxiety from too much speed, beaten to a pulp for getting in trouble on coke, etc. Loads diagnosed with things like PTSD, fibromyalgia and other crap like that.

Can't remember enjoying watching England since the Terry Venables Bobby Robson days. Now its endless unconvincing wins playing shiiiit football against shiiiit opposition followed by utter humiliation in the tournament proper. Would actually be a relief if they didn't qualify.

Rose tinted glasses Kamikaze. Venables was terrible until the Holland game, then slunk back to mediocrity . Robson had 4 tournaments. Failed to qualify in 84, 88 was as bad as any manager has done. 86 we done ok because Robson, Wilkins and Hateley were gone by the Poland game. 90, we was garbage until Butcher, Barnes and Robson (again) left the team. We scraped past Belgium and Cameroon then lost.

The only good team I have seen was 98 and we got robbed. Apparently 1970 was a good team too but we ballsed it up.

It's just shiiit forever.
