The real reason why England are not successful in major championships

[Paul_Stewart]

We need better team songs. I mean, since 1966, the two best performances by an England team were the 1990 World Cup and the 1996 Euros.

1990 - World in Motion by New Order.
1996 - Football's coming home - Baddiel, Skinner and the Lightning Seeds.

Fix that and the on-pitch stuff will come naturally.


And for the Scots out there, yes we all remember "Ally's Tartan Army" in 1978 which really proves the point.

I am not Scottish but I loved "We have a Dream"

 

[Aztecs27]

Can't disagree with that logic!

Still get the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end every time I hear 3 lions. That was such a great summer (until we were knocked out! ) The first proper tournament I fully remember.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Forget the songs and stop singing the British National Anthem.
Get one of your own.
Have a TV competition with whatsisface with the trousers that nearly reach his tits.

Anfield rap - Liverpool's best ever team.

'Dont come home too soon' was a classic - shame Scotland did!

Is that when you got beat by Wimbledon in the cup final.

Yes, but we won the league.

What a weird feeling that was, looking back.

 

[Paul_Stewart]

I knew Wimbledon's physio on that team, the first female physio in the league, Caroline Brouwer. She used to follow Leatherhead in the glory years of the 70s. She could drink for England.

I'm surprised Wimbledon had a physio, thought they would have had a panel beater.

Reckon the biggest common factor in those two tournaments was home advantage.

Something we are highly unlikely to have for a while yet!! :angry:

 

[Paul_Stewart]

Caroline's "unofficial profession" with Leatherhead was "Crossbar painter". She was a legend. Saw her knock seven bells of **** out of a Merthyr Tydfil fan down at Fetcham Grove in an F.A.Cup tie once.
