What the **** was I thinking ordering lasagne in a novelty British pub in Benidorm?! Why would you ever touch the food!? If I ate, I just went to Uncle Peds and got a cheese toasty for a Euro.

decapitated Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 From the Times Quote The resurgence of the football anthem Three Lions has been an unexpected boon for its composers, who have seen it return to the charts through no effort of their own. But one of its lyricists has begun to feel irritation with the way that the song is apparently overlooked at matches by the unofficial England team band. David Baddiel, who co-wrote the lyrics with his comedy partner Frank Skinner to music by Ian Broudie, said that he disliked the band because of the way it imposed songs upon England fans rather than letting them sing spontaneously. He noted that the band preferred to play God Save the Queen and Rule, Britannia. “If I can raise a sour issue with [fans’ singing],” he said in an interview with Joel Young on Absolute Radio 90s, “I’ve noticed that the England band have started to do a thing whereby instead of the spontaneous chanting that happens at a football match, they’ve started controlling it. “And they don’t play Three Lions. I think there’s a slight enmity there.” Baddiel said that he resented the band. Asked jokingly if he wanted them to die, he agreed. “Or certainly to put their instruments down when I’m watching on the telly, because I think, ‘Oh, not Rule, Britannia again.’ The whole oompah-oompah-ness of it feels to me not very like what a football crowd does, which is this magical thing of organically coming up with songs. “[When Three Lions was first sung in 1996] it wasn’t imposed by anyone on that Wembley crowd. They just started singing it and then started chanting ‘Football’s coming home’ when we scored, or when we were about to score.” Baddiel said that the key to the success of Three Lions was that it was not triumphalist. “It’s a negative song. It’s a vulnerable song about supporting England. It says we are in the tournament and most people think we’re **** but maybe not. It’s got that magical idea that on the day we might play like we sometimes can.” He said that it was “quite hard to be English and be unqualifiedly proud of your country . . . whereas actually it’s OK to be proud in a downbeat, qualified way”. He's got a point. The band keep trying to force September by Earth, Wind and Fire onto the crowd at our games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cover for London/New York whenever they're both swanning off enjoying one, along with Asia/South America. Not beyond the realms of possibility, although it'd probably be down to each individual company. Could easily see them organising one, can't really beat that good clean PR.

gavo01 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 For me, football has already come home as we have exceeded my personal expectations of this young team. A quarter final place is an achievement considering how young and inexperienced this team is. Yes there is an argument to say we have not really played anyone decent yet, Belgium aside, call it a World Cup friendly, but the way these young players have been performing has impressed me.
