[Star Lizard]

No ABE thread this season ?

 

Hope Kane is top scorer of the tournament and still does not lift a trophy 😎

[Mikey1874]

They are shite

 

 

[Malinga the Swinga]

I'll trust that their keeper and defence will let them down when it really matters and their manager will continue to fail to get the best out of midfield and forwards.

Agree though, if Scotland don't win it, that's highly unlikely I admit then anyone apart from them.

[Braminho]

Il be wearing my ABE t shirt this summer 👌

[Penrices left boot]

Don't care if England win it, if they do then fair doos.

 

If they get pumped out then it will be funny and I can laugh at the media meltdown but I think age has made me less hateful against the English national sides in most sports.

It's also made me hate Westminster more, tbh I think there is a correlation between the hate levels.

Every % point dropped in hate for the sports team has resulted in the same % increase in hate for Westminster. 

 

 

[Star Lizard]

Who is going to be the first wailing Daily Mail and GB News enthusiast to start firing of the “ racism “ claims ?  

[Mikey1874]

One point being made is they've suddenly gone from a settled side to players not familiar with each other. 

 

But they are very vulnerable to being attacked through the middle. Might need to put in someone like Wharton to protect the midfield. But that's another late change.

Nothing against England the country, other than their right wing proclivities, but the England football team and all who sail in her can feck right off. 

 

I even support England at cricket. 

[Pasquale for King]

I would rather Shankland was top scorer but that will be Mbappe who will lift the trophy and be the player of the tournament. 

[JWL]

It's a win/win as far as I'm concerned. If they don't win it then the English MSM will be all over Southgate after bigging themselves up again as some sort of 1970 Brazil incarnation, and the seethe from Linekar, Shearer, Wrighty and co will be most pleasing. If, on the other hand, they do win the thing, which is perfectly possible, the Tam O'Shanter, feather hatted, I'm more Scottish than you brigade, will be totally apoplectic and no doubt blame some dodgy foreign linesman for the winner in the final. Not sure which of these I would prefer, the tears from the English pundits, or the avalanche of snotters from the Tartan Army hordes. It's a tough one.

Also England go out, Southgate is the new Man Utd manager.

It is glaringly obvious which of those scenarios you are happier with  

 

Tammy hats and shortbread blah blah blah 

 

Bowler hats and fat ugly gammon wankers shitting through their England shorts as a German Shepherd filets his leg

The tears and snotters by both groups when they’re both home before their court summons will be funny. 

[Mikey1874]

While maybe sometimes mentioning France they are ignoring Portugal, Germany as well as Spain.

Kind of over-egged the pudding there a bit. Really don't want England to win it, the fall out on every news outlet would be unimaginable. However, I've absolutely no time for those Tartan Army wankers and their hatred of all things English, so the thought of them burying their collective heads in their haggis and neeps would offset any pissed off feeling I would have if England do win it. Just have to watch Netflix for a while.

[davemclaren]

It's like when Hibs are still in the cup.  I can always relax a bit more when they are out. 😎

[Hømme]

I don't think their defence is good enough to win this tournament.

Said the same to my English work colleague.

I have been thinking for 6 years that they are definitely in with a chance. Blew one huge chance v Italy.

Southgate and their defence are not good enough.

[Fire_At_The_Disco]

For England see Belgium. Full of great individuals but no togetherness. 

[Bill Sikes]

Stuck my usual bet on England to win it.

 

Money well spent over the years.

“ABE”

 

(I shall not be taking any questions on this matter 😀)

[JudyJudyJudy]

I tend to be quite neutral when a  tournament starts  and not minding if England win or not ! However the media then start the bullshit and it pisses me off and I’m willing that England get to the semi or final and lose on penalties …. Again !! 👍

This is very much how I feel. 

Any tournament is better without hibs or ingerlund 

[Morgan]

If England do well then that’s fair enough - it’ll mean they’ve deserved it.

Gives a flying **** about the tartan army ? Football ( like almost all competitive sport ) is about rivalry . I hope Scotland win every game and I hope England lose every game . Same as I feel about Hearts and Hibs

I grew up in a time when playing England ( and hopefully beating them ) was an annual event. They will always be our biggest international rivals in my mind.

There is now an element of people waiting to be offended by the media.

They're nowhere near as bad as they used to be.

The Tartan Army are dicks though.

It should not even be up for debate in all honesty . This modern phenomenon of Scottish bellends supporting England instead of Scotland is a massive cringe . I think I am younger than you , but when I grew up everyone watched and supported Scotland and their club side . Nobody had an English side and everyone wanted their rivals to get absolutely tanked 

 

Now we have total weirdos trying to sniff Harry Kanes arse and such like

 

Independence could have solved a lot of this shit 🤮

I admit I cant stand the ****ers.

From their smarmy manager and his overhyped 'superstars'

To their smug media that we unfortunately have to share TV coverage with

Not forgetting their creepy politicians who forget their wonderful England are not the only UK side in the competition.

If I do watch an England match I switch the sound down only turning up when the opposition score.

The greatest sound on the TV is hearing the 'experts' whining about lucky France, Germany, Italy etc

[Gambo]

Thanks to Clarke I have more interest in England failing than Scotland doing well.

As someone who has spent most of their life in England, married an English woman and has 2 kids who were born down here I find the whole ABE thing quite petty if I’m honest…

 

Do I ****. I hope those morris dancing b******s lose every game they play, their fans riot and embarrass themselves and the bi-annual argument with my wife ensues when I laugh at a crying child following them going out.

Fair enough, you’re entitled to that opinion.
