Still on the bright side

Post by norm the jedi » Wed Nov 21, 2007 11:27 pm

At least we won't have to suffer the St Georges flag all over next year..

and I won't have to stand in a packed boozer in earshot of Margie and Darren from HR
who ' don't really follow football but like England ' and then take every opportunity to demonstrate
their stupidity for the duration...

and the words 'Golden generation' will not be bandied about..

True.

I don't know why, but 8 years ago my best mate and I vowed to travel to Euro 2008.

I think we still might.

I think we still might - at least there'll be no dire England performances and Michael Owen injuries to spoil the trip.

True but there's still a great danger you may run into that c*nt Alan Green and
radio 5 live who will doubtless still qualify for their license paid jolly...

Whoa, Norm, f'cough.

We don't employ Darren's in HR. Never met one in my life & never likely too. Shelf-stackers name that is !!

Exactly, perhaps we can support Stelios, Anelka, Wilhelmsson, and maybe even Dzemaili if he gets fit and playing for Switzerland.


Anyway, in other news... at least Dave Whelan's losing a few bob on this:

Did Norway qualify?

If they did, then we've got a chance of this tactic working.

No.

Might still go out there myself. Currently trying to choose a team to support. I'll keep an eye on the Dutch but I'm torn atwixt the Poles and Austrians. And as stated there'll be some Bolton players to cheer.

Yeah, it would probably be my adopted country the Netherlands for me too, even if they aren't very good and orange doesn't suit me.

They are one of the few countries that don't have a collective irrational England hatred.

They did want Russia to go through, but only because they are managed by one of their own.
