Supporting these two, i dont think we can be too picky
Most likely to see a Cov promotion in my lifetime (i am only 23), but cant be certain when it will happen, so sorry to the old boys on here, you might not be around to see it
and Ashley ( I won't sleep around again) Cole in the team as
Who cares what Ashley Cole does in his personal life? All I care about is seeing him perform well for England which he does consistently to a very high standard, no other England left backs are any were near the quality of Ashley Cole.
The final straw for me supporting England was Rooneyscum's outburst after the 0-0 draw with Algeria at the last World Cup. If ever you needed to have it personally confirmed the disdain these parasites hold the average supporter in, here you had it up close and personal. What really galls is the fact people will have saved up for years to fly out to South Africa to go and support that shower, spent fortunes to do so and that is the thanks they got from that overrated manchild. It certainly didn't surprise me recently when I read in the Telegraph about the guy from Coventry who is a "Top Hatter" following England, who was invited to watch the side train, and Rooney was the only one who thought he was above stopping and chatting and maybe signing an autograph. Awful man and the reason I will not support England while he wears the shirt.
Have you never heard the song "Ashley Cole, what a wanker" it's sung for a reason.
You're right , No other left backs can touch him but I pray for the day when someone can.
He is our best but he's an absolute tosser which is what makes being a pasionate England fan so hard.
In answer to the thread question myself I can't choose between club and country
Love City love England
I've supported England as long as I've been supporting Cov. 1985 or thereabouts. As I get older, I seem to care less and less about both, but that's probably a combination of me getting older and the way the modern game is now. I don't begrudge footballers getting paid massive amounts (why should they be paid any less than actors or entertainers?), but what it has done it destroy their priorities in the game. It's also destroyed the soul of football - it's now purely a global business and any sense of community is long gone. As Kuklinski points out, the players at the elite level are becoming very hard to like, the success would appear to go to their heads. But that isn't to say all modern footballers are wrong 'uns, there are still *some* great characters in the game. Jimmy Bullard for one, although even he put money ahead of his actual career.
For me, the 1990 World Cup was the highlight of supporting England. Is it nostalgia talking? Probably. But I idolised those players and Sir Bobby Robson, they seemed to care as much as we did. I cried like a loon when we lost to the Germans on penalties, I don't think I've ever cared more about a game in my life. Other than Wembley '87 and the Tottenham game to stay up in 1997 maybe.
If I had to choose, it would be Coventry every time. But I still support both, foolish as I am.
