Donnelly’s thread about Moses has reminded me to recount my tale from last night.
I’ve had a great month in Poland, being surrounded by Irish supporters- who have been fantastic in terms of their attitude, friendliness, knowledge of English football, willingness to interact with other fans, ability to just get up and sing a folk song in front of a packed bar etc.; all-in-all superb. The locals have also been accommodating, and have truly adopted the Irish.
Last night, I watched the England game in a bar and after the final whistle I spotted one solitary England shirt, so I decided to go over and joke about being outnumbered.
What a mistake; the only England fan I meet in four weeks and he’s a no-nowt Arsenal pr!ck who concluded that:
1. All Wigan fans want Bruce to come back as manager. (This lad used to work in Dubai with three Wigan fans…I have my suspicions of who one of them might be)
2. Bruce made money for Wigan with his sales and Dave Whelan pocketed it.
3. Victor Moses is by far Wigan’s best player and he was the reason Wigan stayed up last season.
4. Shaun who? Maloney? No, he’s f@cking sh!t (refer to above comment)
5. Hugo Rodallega was wasted at Wigan.
6. Wigan are a tin-pot club. They can’t fill their stadium because most people in Wigan like rugby.
7. Wigan will be relegated this season.At this point an Irish lad took the offending moron to the bar for a drink and my Polish colleagues ushered me away as I was starting to twitch. The entire conversation lasted ten minutes at most and the little fat fooker had me wanting to throttle him after half that time.
Congratulations England fan(s). You really reinforced my opinions of you. (But Phil Moss, I’ll still support England!)

Standish mon, you should have replied “we wont miss Moses as much as your gonna miss Van Persie and your pies are shoite and cost a fortune”
Standish mon, you should have replied “we wont miss Moses as much as your gonna miss Van Persie and your pies are shoite and cost a fortune”I counteracted everything he said but just got ‘Nah, nah, nah. That’s not right.’
I got to the stage where I was thinking ‘I’m gonna lamp this pr!ck in a minute and then I’ll look really stupid!’
Better to walk away and vent my anger on an internet forum.
Sadly i heard some little fat sh/t from Blackburn mouthing all that before our 3-3 draw at home last season.Shouting at the top of his voice to his mates(cousins/brothers??) in that grating twang of theirs he was spouting off all the stereotypical bull that we read and hear in the gutter press and media.
“Wigerrrrrrrrrrrrns a rugby towwwwwwwwwwn thee dont get gates ere they neer will and theirrrr goint dowwwn tert Championship unlike us”
Myself and our little group were amazed that he hadnt been filled in at this point by our livelier elements(dont condone btw) we then shouted at him and his group that they were talking complete and utter bullsh/t and watched his drink sodden fat bloated little face turn white as he realised that little Wigerrrrrrn sometimes do get gates and we do have ears.
I hope he remembered this little scene when we relegated Rawverrrs from the league in May-i call it Karma!
Dont walk away and grit your teeth and clench your fists face these idiots out and give them the truthful facts.Donnelly’s thread about Moses has reminded me to recount my tale from last night.I’ve had a great month in Poland, being surrounded by Irish supporters- who have been fantastic in terms of their attitude, friendliness, knowledge of English football, willingness to interact with other fans, ability to just get up and sing a folk song in front of a packed bar etc.; all-in-all superb.

My experience of supporting england for about 10 years found most other fans hate the English, the spud pickers hate the English, although watching England beat Argentina in a bar in Tokyo at the world cup and seeing their green faces go darker by the minute was funny. But most England fans from the south, particularly the premiership breed are a**holes.

I had a 2 year phase of following England abroad in the period after the 1998 world cup. Its going back a while like but I found most of the England fans I met at the time to be the sort of real hardcore club followers. personality wise some were salt of the earth & some were absolute kn0b$ but they all knew their football
The supporters of the countries I watched England in all seemed friendly enough & not to have any great hostility to us – even many of the Jocks in & around the pubs by Hampden park for that keegan play off game.
You tend to find people dislike England for little to do with the football but more to do with a history of oppression (Irish) or the stereotypical image of the englishman abroad that comes from their encounters with us on holidays etc..
The demographic of football supporters has changed a hell of alot since I was watching them & I suspect that a large number of the ones who’ve gone to these Euro’s (as it’s so damn expensive by all accounts) are your more monied, didn’t watch football till sky/all seater stadiums/euro 96 types.I remember coming home from Japan the day England got beat by Brazil, having the pilot announce we had got beat and everyone cheered on the plane, other than the english of course. YOu are right it is politics rather than sport.
My experiences of watching England home and abroad are same as the above mentioned but I really did find that whenever a fan of the big London clubs joined in, the conversation generally went downhill rapidly.What is it about Londoners that puts a gigantic chip on their shoulders when anyone from the North is present?.The arrogance of some ive met over the years is astonishing.
