I am an England fan, I come from Engerland

Anyone see this on The Hits’ post-match comedown? Anyway, it’s available to download here (and guess what, Tim Ireland from Bloggerheads is involved).

    You actually support a football team that has two adulterers (Beckham and James) and a cheat (Owen) in it’s ranks?

    It seems so, the same way people support political parties regardless of what individual MPs/Ministers get up to because it is the group/team you support not the individuals.

    Oh my golly gosh, adultery! How awful! We must surely put them to death…

    I think C4 was trying to be clever and accuse Antonia of hypocricy.
    Of course we can’t all lead as exemplary and perfect lives as him! ;)

    I like the cut of your gib young Burgin.

    Seriously though, I cannot stand most of the England football team. Selfish, overpaid, overrated, underachieving… and thats just Sven! Most of them are spoilt, numbskulls and bad role models out of touch with reality. Rooney will almost certainly go off the rails and/or be bankrupt before he’s 40.

    Theo Walcott seems to be a good lad, but I do worry about how mixing with the likes of the Beckhams, Wayne, Coleen, Sven, Nancy, Gerrard and Curran might warp his and his girlfriend’s morals and ethics.

    I consider being a professional footballer to be one of the lowest professions in society along with ‘glamour’ modelling, being a Blairite and ‘pop’ singing.

    I don’t believe in capital punishment Jo, although I might make expections with both Tony Blair and Helen Watters for the greater good of civilisation.

    The England football team aren’t employed to be role models, they’re employed to be good at football.

    Each individual footballer, just like the rest of us, must take responsibility for his own actions and morals. If people disapprove of the behaviour of Mr. Beckham, Mr. Rooney or anyone else, they need to stop buying Beckham or Rooney-branded merchandise, stop buying tablod newspapers and magazines with Rooney / Beckham stories, and stop watching football matches featuring Rooney or Beckham.

    Money talks.

    I know that Becks is an adulterer because it says so in the Sun (not that it’s anyone’s business but him and his wife’s), but why call Owen a cheat? Mind you, you say “the likes of…” so I’m assuming you know all these people really well.

    He dived to win a penalty against Argentina in 1998, that makes him a cheat, though I’m not sure if that was what c4 meant???

  10. C4 | 22 June 2006 3:52 pm

    Diving against Argentina is only just one of his crimes. I fouled an Argie defender in that same match with his elbow when his scored that ‘wonder’ goal and who can forget Good Friday 1998.

    C4… Are you an egg chaser by any chance?

    Egg chaser?
