Thumbs down First year I WON'T be supporting England.

For the world cup. Saw them win it in 1966 on a TV in Spain in b&w, surrounded by Germans, in a bar. Fond memories. The Germans bought us drinks for the rest of the evening. I was only a lad and ended up sick.

Followed England and suported them every year so far since, plus in European Championships etc, through mostly thin times.

But not this year.
This year I CANNOT bring myself to support them, and risk having to watch the scum that is John Terry, or the drug-test avoiding n*bber that is Rio Ferdinand, lifting the trophy And thus being spoken of in the same sentence as the lads form 1966

Come on whoever plays England!

I'm sorry, but England is England. I suspect the team of '66 had their vices, we just didn't have the same media frenzy wanting to expose it

Exactly, the swinging 60's. I bet none of them were taking drugs or sleeping around

Although I am not a fan of some of the players they have my support.
I was minus 4 in 1966 therfore i have nowt to say about them apart from Roger Hunt was the best England player at the time and Sir Alf relied upon him heavily. Come on the proper REDS!!!!!

I DID have a word with myself. I asked how I would feel watching a drug-test avoider and a thug lift the trophy. It made me feel sick, not proud

Stop Press....Capello calls time on Englands 2010 World Cup entry after superfan alcazar revokes his support for the squad....

Get a grip man. You honestly think that all of the '66 squad (and every squad since) have been whiter than white?

NO, I don't expect that any normal person is whiter than white.

But nor do I expect any NORMAL person, and especially the England captain, as was, to lop his todger out on a disco dancefloor and p*ss everywhere, in front of all.

Scum.

The thought of him, mentioned in the same breath as the greats of 66 turns my stomach.

Come on USA..........

Why would you ask, you don't believe in the Premier Legue the same way as in I don't believe in the tooth fairy.

It's totally irrelevant

Admit what, that Utd didn't get as many points as Chelsea and thus didn't win the title. Yeah I admit that.

What I don't get is why you don't go watch Scunny when your what? 10 minutes from the stadium
