I won't be supporting them.
Why - because I'm not a England football fan - I'm a Liverpool FC fan.

Now why am I not surprised? Confused ... yes, surprised ... not in the slightest.
Presumably you don't want any Liverpool players playing in the World Cup then.
Patriotism is a dish best served outside The People's Republic of Merseyside.


Slime.

P.S. Will you be watching it hoping that England lose?

Really, not Sir Alf Ramsey?



I was responding to another poster saying he hoped the Liverpool lads would play the same way for England, which Roy has shown that he won't set up that way. I'd say that was an observation, rather than sniping.

Doon is Scottish so likes the turnip lol.
my comment about supporting em flab wasn't aimed at you or anyone in particular. Just that the is a time where Liverpool fans don't even consider England. As Phil has shown.

Not necessarily just Liverpool fans, but maybe Scouse based ones to a point. I do cheer on England and hope they win things as do lots of Scousers, but England isn't really their "passion" and they reserve 99% of their football passion, money, attendance and support for our clubs. There are many socio-economic, political, historical and other reasons for this, but as such England are "followed" in Liverpool but not heavily "supported". I think Everton fans are quite similar also, although they have more disposable income as they have only competed in Europe maybe 7 times over 40 years, whilst LFC have probably had only 2-3 European free seasons in 50 years, so tend to use our money supporting the reds. Man U fans became very anti-England after the Beckham affair, not sure if there was a difference between Manchester based ones and non-Manchester though, ask a Man U fan.

Without this turning into a United/Liverpool argument. How many match going United fans do you know who were singing "Argentina" and such like a few years ago? Also, how many Liverpool fans do you know who do support England?

Most United fans have a similar view, I don't think its a conscious decision its just the way it is for your average match going Red.

Had the feeling that the England team was more supported by people from down south and by people who supported the smaller clubs.

Don't see many people travelling down to London just to see a England from the North

Reckon England got more support when they travelled around the country
 
Chelsea will win the League, they have points in the bag, have the easiest run-in, and Mourinho will shut up shop in games were required.
Kills me to say it, but Liverpool are frightening going forward at the moment, but the defence will let them down at some point between now and the end of the Season

Is there not something dreadfully wrong with a culture that will support a league team where very few English players play before supporting their national team.

It's very wrong. But thankfully it's only a select few. I don't personally know any one that doesn't support the national team.
Do I think we can win the World Cup? Nope. But I'll definitely be cheering them on.

Don't think dreadfully wrong at all

Spent my whole life supporting my club and have a personal connection to the club

Feel zero connection to the countries football team hence why I don't support them - they aren't my team. I'm a Liverpool FC fan
 
I defy any Englishman to say they didnt enjoy Euro 96, that has to go down as the most patriotic and feel good event ever! 9apart from the Semi obviously)

If England do well and play some decent stuff I am sure we will all embrace it, puff out our chests and sing our hearts out... One can dream :)

Now come on Manure and do City tonight plz :whoo:
