Heroes Discussion / Re: England national team« Last post by Mellin on Today at 01:19:59 AM »Southgate is the second best England manager ever by a vast, vast margin. Better squads and alleged better managers have done a lot worse over the years.Livramento being replaced by Chalobah due to injury; It's okay. Quansah and Chalobah will save the day. Incomprehensible. 3
Heroes Discussion / Re: UEFA getting the big stick out« Last post by Ads on Today at 01:13:13 AM »I like that we hate the Noses and they hate us, despite the wild disparity (and obviously because of it). We're a much more interesting club because of the minnows who surround us and very occasionally for a limited period, get to play us.
I've sang about the Noses watching us play in Europe on a Thursday/Wednesday/Tues night along with the rest of the away ends since August 2023. People are obviously entitled to think singing a catchy little ditty is cringe. I think the faux objection to pretending we're the only club above it all is silly. Because we're not and what a dull existence it would be without the B9ers or even the B71ers. I don't gove much of a hoot about Coventry, but it will be fun receiving all that hate. I doubt it will be quite Highfield Road given its so far out of town. Sport is competion, its rivalry, its having fun, especially at your neighbours expense. I cannot say that rivalry would ever energise me enough to make a flag about the supposed Gypsy's Curse that Barry Fry had to exorcise it by pissing in every corner of Mordor, but again, each to their own. 4

Going to our first European final for over 40 years and singing about another club - ANY other club - is embarrassing enough, but taking the time and effort to incorporate some slur against them in a flag design is unbelievably small-time. And people claim THEY'RE obsessed with US? I sometimes think a section of Villa fans and a section of Blues fans deserve each other.

He said he couldn't remember the phrase though, and I don't remember it at all. Somewhere in socia media I saw a post saying the offending banner related to travellers and the curse on the sty. No idea if true and no photo evidence of said banner |
