Get the England mug.Related Words
Enough of this bullshit irony.
In Euro 2004, the only person Sol Campbell fouled to score his perfectly legitimate winning goal against Portugual (which was subsequently disallowed) was *his own team-mate* - i.e. John Terry.
Urs Meier the referee deserved everything he got after that.

The so-called "England Header Rule" is a cynical attempt to deny the achievements of our Football team.

Get the England Header Rule mug.When Americans (or "yanks" what ever you prefer) say they aren't English but when someone says something in a foreign language they say " in English?" or "Speak English!" Just want to point that out by the way.
And the English is NOT eastern. We are western. Correction, Japan is the east. And I'm English so I would no if England is Japanese.
One last thing, England/Britain or the brits is NOT posh, snobby, clean, and drink tea all day and make horrible remarks sort of people, it is told that london, nottingham and scotland, wales are more dangerous then america like new york or something. Also we do NOT use long intellectual words or what ever, or write like it, example. Whatever- Wat ever, Here- ere, No- Na, Yes- yhh so on...And we do NOT have big teeth!!!
So ive cleared that up I just like to say I AM SICK OF PEOPLE TAKING THE PISS OUT BRITAIN AND CALLING US ARSEHOLES!!!
(yes i put arse not ass cause ass means a donkey.)

Get the England vs America mug.see: cheaters, entitled, ignorant, classless.
Their ignorant fans claim that every team cheats but SOMEHOW only they got caught doing it. Not only is this NOT true, but the Patriots are such a classless team that they need to cheat to actually win a game. Patriots fans are the biggest pansies to ever grace this earth. If you don't believe me, listen to them whine about everything, including every time they win OR lose.
Boston d-bags...

Hmmm isn't it funny how the New England Patriots haven't won a Super Bowl since they were caught SPYING on another team...
I know and they only won the other Super Bowls in their "dynasty" by getting lucky. Probably cheated on those too.

Get the New England Patriots mug.Amazing place that the british non-english people hate for no other reason but holding a grudge about something that no-one alive can even remember. Oh and they're jealous because we are bigger/ more powerful than them and when people say 'british' they really mean 'english'.
The non-english british also like to complain about how they are discriminated against by the english when really the english don't even think about them and the only thing that'd come in to their mind if you spoke to them was 'cool accent'.
I love you all really but LET IT GO! I haven't done anything to you! Sorry I was born in England!
Oh I'm excluding the Welsh btw, I'n not even sure they speak.

Get the England mug.Clearly the majority of these people haven't been to England! For a start it's a country where the major majority of the population don't have bad teeth...you're talking about a country where most of the dentistry is FREE! Idiots. English people don't sit around drinking tea or talking like an imbecile "Golly gosh that was truly spiffing!" I think not. There isn't loads of chavs that spit and swear in fact there's more emo's and scene kids. We don't fuck sheep...much ;P and unlike america we're not a counrty full of pussies! American football is like rugby with padding. Grow some balls! We also have better fashion sense than americans and don't act like five year olds on crack. I don't know how any person who is american can call our accents at least we don't act like we're buzzing off life all the damn time! And we don't have a president called Bush...eyes out for you! I don't actually have anything against americans but this pissed me off!
Random american: Dude, like oh my God that was like totally awesome!!!!!
Random england person: I'm buzzing for you.
Random england person: I'm buzzing for you.
