ok i realise im going against the norm here, but ive had it with the whole patriotism/false hope bullshit that my country is so renowned for. i am not a football fan, but, i appreciate the fact that there are millions of them around me, and i do like seeing people become enthusiastic about something. but for fvcks sake, enough of the houses plastered with novelty england flags. enough of the cheap, tacky, worthless and downright horrible novelty world cup songs that get released by groups that over-exaggerate the southern english accent. enough of all the pissed-up scum that comes out of the pubs, and stagger home at 5pm in broad daylight, infront of their kids, singing shitty football chants whilst showing attitude to anybody they come into contact with, and enough of the illegal immigrants and/or foreigners that barely speak the language going over the top with their celebrations and superficial patriotism as if their citizenship depends on it! fetch me a damn bucket. AAAHHHH, that felt better!
