AppyDAZE Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 If you even have to think about putting England and the World Cup over say, City winning the Championship and getting to the Prem I would find that odd. Of course, it's all about personal preference, but City first EVERY TIME with me. That said, COME ON ENGLAND yoo can doo it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there are a large enough volume of England fans who feel the need to be dicks and think everything is "banter" when actually all it means is an excuse to be a dick and try and legitimise behaviour. Example: I don't want these people or people climbing on top of police vans and other issues to get what they want. I realise some people are absolutely fine but England fans are the worst. And it'll only be worse again should England win it. Why do you think we don't get to host the tournament? Because we're cocks. Would love a smaller nation who have never won it to take it.

I lost the passion years ago when the playing side did too and it's never come back. Since then fans seem to have some undeserved entitlement to being dicks or just constantly going on with the same jokes. It's like kids sat in the back of a car constantly asking "are we there yet?" I can't bring myself to associate with these people. It's like the sort of jokes the manager you hate in work makes and you feel like you should laugh just because they're your manager.

I don't wear a Bristol City shirt to games, doesn't mean I'm a neutral. But one is either exuberant or one isn't. There aren't really levels of exuberance. When we make it to the World Cup semi final for the first time in 28 years I doubt those who indulge and get involved in high jinks think that they had better put a brake on their feelings because it isn't as massive or commendable as winning the battle against Nazi ideology. They are ecstatic. They are elated. They see the whole country sharing their joy and get carried away. It is an unfortunate by product of happiness. The alternative is to keep everyone in the doldrums and eventually risk the outbreak of riots, looting and general disorder. I know which I prefer.

Yozzarian Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I started out a 16 year old teen falling in love with football in 89-90. This was a pretty glorious introduction to the teams of Super Bob and England in Italia 90. If you'd asked me then I would have said a second World Cup triumph would top anything else; maybe I thought that the more likely over City getting to the big time or winning a major trophy, but certainly the highs of almost winning in Turin were the most intense. Like many, my love for England was progressively weakened over the years and I'd say that since 2010 constant lows left me barely interested before Russia 2018. Something remarkable has happened during this tournament however....the weather, shared celebrations with family or friends, the AG fan village and a team coming like a breath of fresh air have all combined to reignite my love for the Three Lions like never before. If you said to me now City would go up guaranteed next season or England could win the World Cup I'd have to go with the latter. There will be season after season for City but there aren't many WCs in a lifetime. I keep imagining just how good the crest will look with 2 stars above it.
