Indeed and one captained by one in the past
Wonder of trampie would be speaking to Simon Jones in these terms.
We had fireboy alluding to all cricketers as posh now this crap.
Simon Jones was not posh or even middle class and was proud to wear the shirt. |  |

You must be a sad individual to be constant attention seeking, wasn't you loved as a child and bullied at School, cause you are showing classic symptoms. | |

I have a sister in law in Austrakia right now.I feel for any British people there a this is shameful.

Also a Pom includes Welsh | |

Sport is not just about wanting your team to win but wanting a rival team to lose, BBC Wales done an advert for the six Nations years ago showing people shouting England then came the punchline - it was the name of the team they wanted to lose, not who they wanted to win, it went down like a lead balloon with the wokes, advert was pulled, complaints came in from the PC crowd.
And I always want England to lose in sport (there might have been an occasion I would rather them win but I'm struggling to think of one), I've always been the same since a boy always wanting them to lose, their reporters tend to be one eyed and arrogant, I want fair play not bias.
Anybody But England (ABE).  | |

I was brought up to believe in fair play, when you see the behaviour of some of the commentators from the other side of the Dyke it would put off any fair minded person from wanting their teams to win. | |

I used to feel like this but quite honestly as I’ve gained more life experience I’ve grown out of it.
When it comes to sport I still want Wales to beat England far more than any other fixture. When England lose to smaller teams - Iceland as an example - I revel in it as most people would in derby type situation.
However, there are other countries sports fans I find far more annoying that the English ones. South Africans and Australians to name the big two. I’ll support England against these teams (unless it’s to win a trophy of course 😉).
That advert shouldn’t have been cancelled (if it was, I remember seeing it many times) as it did point out the myth of English arrogance. All the other countries named England to lose quite understandably as they’re the big bad brother of the group. Then the England fans all names different teams, not because of arrogance but because they don’t spend all they’re time hating everybody else.
I’d even argue that ABE shows a massive lack of ambition. Small man syndrome.
Some of the nationalist stuff on here just isn’t relevant to your average middle aged English person. Blaming them for empire, stealing resources etc. is in the past for them. It’s not in their frame of reference.
Bottom line is there’s good and bad everywhere. Mostly, it’s good. [Post edited 29 Dec 2021 10:35]

Post of the year.Any year.Bravo
Tramp needs to watch a Rugby game with Saffies.I have .They are arrogant like you could not imagine.English supporters are lightweights compared with such stupendous unwarranted arrogance. Dont forget the recent history of Afrikaner arrogance that sees it hate the Welsh as much as the English as we are British. BRITISH.
As for Aussies, it is dirt by sea-say no more.
I've watched a RWC in The Hague and Kiwis are the best fans Ive come across-at least they have a sinse of humour and their sense of superiority can be excused. They dont expect to loe.Ever. They also stick together,a a nation.Imagine that. | |

You weren't sure if it was banned, it was, apparently it was an internet sensation, perhaps that is how you seen it a few times. | |

True.
Has no bearing on my other points though, hence I said your takeaway was interesting. | | | |

The hosts will look to finish the series off in an emphatic fashion having already secured the urn, while the visitors hope to consolidate their performance with their last chance to secure a Test win in Hobart. Rain delayed play at Hobart and will resume half an hour earlier on Saturday. Australia retained the Ashes by winning the first three Tests and England forced a draw in the fourth. Keep up with all the action from the fifth Test at Blundstone Arena right here.
