always club but it’s not either/or you can suppprt and enjoy both

i watch a lot of football in my local football club with mates I’ve known for donkeys years
normally your drinking while watching with Man Utd, Chelsea, Leeds, West Ham and in my case Cobblers and Luton fans

the difference with an England game is everyone’s supporting the same side
all together it’s makes for some memorable times and a great atmosphere

where i do differ from a lot of people is i like the people who don’t like football getting involved, I have no problem if they have little knowledge about the game I won’t see them again until the next World Cup,
 just for that moment the country comes together and that’s what I love

My wife hates Football but she’s coming with me tonight because it’s so big,
I’ve no problem with it more the merrier

It's club every time and seeing as I don't support England, it's not even a question for me at the moment.

Club for me but I’m always watching England nervously and have done for years.
I’ll be leaping around like a man possessed if we make it tonight.
But I’d swap it all for a Villa Cup win.

It is great that there’s a lot of positivity around and I’m chuffed for Southgate.

Club certainly for league and FA Cup, but if it was a choice between League Cup and World Cup it would be a toughie, i've seen Villa win the League Cup a few times, the World Cup would almost certainly be a once in a lifetime thing.

club every time

I love most Villa fans especially when Im away and I meet them , I can talk to hours with them about the Villa , Its like a weird family member .

England , nah , cant stand all these tossers getting pissed out of the skulls down the pub , singing and talking through the bloody match . They support teams I hate normally like Manure and Liverpoo and woman jumping on the bandwagon who know fuck all , yes we did win it in 66 you know.

i hope they win of course but if we go out tonight it wont feel like the play off final defeat at all.

My bug bear with England is the pseudo fans that turn up every 4 years and suddenly display emotion that belies there otherwise indifference to football as a whole - i can't stand it.


Every tournament that horrible statistic about a rise in domestic violence by quite a percentage after an England game.

Some people use this to bash football, but week in week out, there are games with far more passion taking place up and down the country. I would think a large proportion of this statistic is those you mention, coupled with a lot of alcohol.

And let's face it. An abuser will use any excuse.

Club definitely. Much as I'd like to see England win something Villa are an obsession England are a family member I only see every few months.

The World Cup and England doing well has been a very pleasant distraction from the woes of our club, but even when we're down in League 1 there will be no comparison.

I'm sat at Venice Airport and my flight leaves at 7 UK time so I will miss the whole game.  Couldn't  care less.  Villa always comes first.

I've answered club as that what concerns me most day to day. During the WC I've asked a few acquaintances (English & Scottish) if they'd rather their team won the Champion's League or country won the European Cup and each without hesitation said the former. However I would take Ireland winning the World Cup over Villa winning the Champion's League even if it's very marginal.
