Im sure Wales qualification has nothing to do with UEFA expanding the number of teams that qualify for the finals

Truth is mate I love Wales and Scotland as places . Beautiful scenery and proud parts of Britain but every one has a bee in their bonnet where England is concerned which creates a seige mentality and that's why Wales and the rest of the home nations can get knotted unless they are the "proud to be British" types Did you see Question time from Cardiff a week last Thursday? There was next to no support for Plaid Cymru and they hardly registered in the General election here. Just 3% of Welsh want independence. More Welsh people voted for Ukip than Plaid, so this nonsense about Wales being as disdainful toward Britain as Scotland is just that - nonsense. I know it's daft to bring something like war into sport but on a wider level, it's accurate in making the point that there wouldn't be so many loyal and proud Welsh servicemen and women if they were fundamentally against the union. Welsh and British yes My wife is Welsh . Caphillay born n bread and her family are proud Welsh but they are also proud Brits and Stoke/ Swansea fans and they all supported England in the Rugby world cup after Wales . I served in the army with many a proud Welsh and Scottish rangers fan so I fully agree . Trouble is the gob shites are the ones that get the most media attention. For me it's banter and a piss take . In reality I take folk as I find them

Like fuck well done Not from me My dad was Welsh, Wezzer, so I don't share your antipathy towards them. I think it will be good to have more home nations in the Euros. I would even have liked Scotland to get there!

And Werringotn - when they taunt us with Argentina - all it does is illustrate they are followed by the same small minority groups of dimwitted fuckwitts that follow our English teams around also
whose next ? Scotland ?
Northern Ireland perhaps ?
Im not a big fan of international football these-days but, it would be very very interesting next summer if all our adjacent island and bordering countries had
qualified = including ROI
and so - good luck to SJW, Marc and Glenn tonight too !

Living in Wales, I obviously have a good many Welsh friends, but when it comes to Sport they are all on a par with the sweaty socks in terms of "Hating the English". So don't expect me to support the bleating bastards at any level...............

Have you walked around our so called city centre lately and taken a good look around. I'm guessing you don't live in Stoke then, given how much of a shit hole you think it is. Born and bred mate, but that doesn't take away the fact that WE DO HAVE a terrible run down looking city centre does it? And that new bus station at the top of Lichfield street, what a joke that is.

absolutely Nothing wrong with the Welsh THEY ONLY BEHAVE LIKE WE WOULD GIVEN THEIR GEOGRAPHY better pouring out your bile against the likes of :- Wigan / Walsall / Crewe / Port vale all of whom come from backward shit holes and have had delusions of grandeur in recent times (especially against us) and, look where they are now As for the Welsh - proud race - Rugby union is their game - hard as fuck if you've not tried it - in the main, they're still as hard as the coal they used to mine and, always good to have alongside you in a real fght And as regard 'giving support' a boat load of them literally burned for us in the Falklands - SO dont you whiny keyboard fuckers EVER dare forget that ! AND, to some of you stop talking total shyte ! Well said sir.. Although Austrailia is one of my favourite colonies within the empire, I have to say Wales is definitely one of my favourite counties in England and on that basis I will be cheering them all the way. Brilliant ????????

It's in the Grauniad so it must be true. It is true that Thatcher had the lowest rating of any prime minister ever before the intervention of the Argentinians.

It just made me laugh that he used an article from the Social Worker Daily to justify his dig at Thatcher. It's like saying 'all migrants should be burnt' and then using one of the many migrant bashing articles from the Daily Fail to justify it.

He got off lightly I could have posted this HOW DOES IT FEEL? How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand dead? Young boys rest now, cold graves in cold earth. How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand dead? Sunken eyes, lost now; empty sockets in futile death. Your arrogance has gutted these bodies of life, Your deceit fooled them that it was worth the sacrifice. Your lies persuaded people to accept the wasted blood, Your filthy pride cleansed you of the doubt you should have had. You smile in the face of the death cause you are so proud and vain, Your inhumanity stops you from realising the pain That you inflicted, you determines, you created, you ordered - It was your decision to have those young boys slaughtered. You never wanted peace or solution, From the start you lusted after war and destruction. Your blood-soaked reason ruled out other choices, Your mockery gagged more moderate voices. So keen to play your bloody part, so impatient that your war be fought. Iron Lady with your stone heart so eager that the lesson be taught That you inflicted, you determines, you created, you ordered - It was your decision to have those young boys slaughtered. How does it feel to be the mother of a thousand dead?
