Would even go as far as saying Oasis were bad for British music

Would probably draw the line at euthanized but yes they're a crap band and their fans are very cringey

Vibes are really important for football teams and countries. Better to be lower in the pyramid but with a sense of improving than be higher up but having thrown it away. All encompassing sense of decline with LCFC and the country as a whole which is pretty crap.

Early 2010s was good fun. Living in Eastern Europe loads of our championship games were on terrestrial TV and would finish at 7 so I didn't have to find something to do in those crap hours between the game finishing and going out for food and drink. Plus we were a pretty entertaining team.

We're so numb to most stuff now but starving children sets off something that must be innate to us. It is grotesque.

Photos and stories coming out of Gaza really remind me of Bosnia, but perhaps even more extreme than that.

Tried shooing it out the window but I think it went behind one of the sofas in the players' communal area

I think the idea that politicians sow division and without them we'd all get along fine is quite naive. Probably because the rise of the Nazis is so prevalent in our education and media. I think history shows the opposite - a state's elite has an interest in different ethnic or religious groups getting along, but things tend to unravel anyway when the shit hits the fan, especially in times of economic hardship. The English of course are confident that these things happen only in backward countries east of Vienna.

I can't go more than a few days without their red ale mustard mayonnaise and freshly ground Ethiopia.

Have a rep point even though I was waiting all night to make a similar post

exactly and there are so many stirring pieces of music about England

are we so afraid of displays of patriotism in this country that we're now wondering why people get emotional signing their national anthem

Both bangers. I do love the unironic jauntiness of inno di mameli though.

It's pretty dull and uninspiring especially before a football match, but I'll stop derailing the thread....

Surprised there's still so many after the internet went off in Iran

That's the whole point of national anthems really. Shame ours is such a dirge.

anthems tend to be performed, yes

always a bit awkward when these two anthems go head to head

275 a year?! Wtf are people buying? I feel like I'm spending that much extra a week.

Ah English hubris, we meet again.

Went out in style. R.I.P.

well we'd be the south West border of fortress Europe I suppose. So it'd be contentious in Europe to let us in, considering we can't even stop dinghies turning up on our shores

No VAT on private school fees, lower immigration, less woke politics. Rejoin the EU as the sensible, conservative choice!

Euro and especially Schengen would be great imo.
