Who is going to win the premiership title.

So a Scots guy from Ayrshire will be cheering England on in the World Cup whilst an English guy from Liverpool will not be....very strange.

Not strange - just people's choice

Just because someone is born in England doesn't mean they must support the countries football team. I prefer to have the choice. I have no connection to the England national team - my club is what matters

 

[Doon frae Troon]

What about other sports?

 

[Qwerty]

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.

I wouldn't say its a culture, Your local team is what you grow up with (in most cases) just because your then a football fan doesn't mean you have to be passionate about the national team, you can't force it.

I feel the same about the England football team as I do the England Ping Pong, Archery, Rugby and Fishing teams.

Well I don't have connections for other clubs in other sports.

I didn't grow up passionate about any other club in other sports.

I follow Barrow Rugby league results but they are crap

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

Well as there are 100+ professional clubs in the country and only Liverpool and UTD are the do mega clubs a of this country I guess you're right. It's down to us small fans to support England. That's as bad as thinking people that support smaller clubs don't understand footy as well as bigger clubs fans............

Its relevant in that I think saying that fans of smaller clubs care more about England is condescending. I support England as it's my country, much as Southampton is my city. I support england through passion just as I do the saints. I don't support England thinking I'll get to savour success with them. But as you're scouse not English i imagine you don't understand that.

When did I say fans of smaller clubs care more about England ?

I don't need to support England Football Team to be passionate about my country - I only served it for 22 years in the Military.

when you said that England was more supported by southerners and fans of smaller clubs. I wasnt aiming it at you personally, my main query is why people can support clubs in England and not really care about England? Anyways, I kicking myself for even biting as I said before we've clearly got totally different views. So I'll say good evening.

Feel free to correct any of my assumptions :thup:

It was your job,you got paid for it :thup:

 

[Deleted member 15344]

It was your job,you got paid for it :thup:

It was more than a job and done on lot less wages than I could have got outside the military

And it didn't stop me being proud and passionate about serving my country :thup:
