Total Bollocks as usual As to the "English" thing, Those Who Make A Profession Out Of Being Upset On Other People's Behalf, TWMAPOOBUOOPB, claim that "English" is offensive to immigrants, while "British" isn't. No, it makes no sense to me, either Curiously, this doesn't apply to "Scottish" or "Welsh". I sometimes wonder if TWMAPOOBUOOPB say these things (like "Happy Holidays") to stoke up English racism so they can denounce it from their ivory towers, but maybe that's just 60's paranoia...

And Its Smith Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Detest this rebranding by the way. two sure ways to know quickly if someone you are talking to about football knows anything about the game or not is to see if they are an armchair 'top four' fan who doesn't go to the games and/or they refer to the Premier League as the EPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
