But a joke is aimed at being amusing is it not and you suggest we're all missing the joke. Or maybe you are just being pedantic and trying to look clever.... In other words you can't. I never suggested anyone was missing the joke either. Not doing very well are we? I won't accuse you of trying to look clever I think you implied most on this thread missed the joke, we're clearly not as clever as you😉

Yes are unswerving Britishness and wanting to not only play by the rules but also the spirit The British taxpayer gave Nissan £800 million between 1984 and 2017 so let's not start rewriting history pretending the latest grant is something only possible since Brexit. Loose change, total U.K. payments to the EU budget since 1973 add up to approximately £215 billion.

Due to previous incidents I'm assuming he doesn't particularly like the UK/England. Turning his back on the union flag tends to suggest he's not particularly enamoured with us. But hey, you don't think he dislikes the country and think his jokes are quite hilarious, fair play. Remind me where I said his jokes were hilarious. I can't remember that. I can wait though But a joke is aimed at being amusing is it not and you suggest we're all missing the joke. Or maybe you are just being pedantic and trying to look clever....

If you hate England so much why would you spend your adult life living in the country you hate, bringing your family up in the country you hate and taking a very generous salary from the country you hate? The man is a walking contradiction... and a complete and utter knob obviously... When has he ever said he hates England? remind us. There's one been doing the rounds of the Scottish team bus for sale on EBay. I guess that's ok though. Does everyone who has sent that hate Scotland and should they never visit there? What a bunch od cf babies over a bit of a joke. Due to previous incidents I'm assuming he doesn't particularly like the UK/England.

You might, I wouldn't, that's the difference between us I suppose. Rubbish, most of us having those skills would be happy to earn those wages. It would give us the opportunity to give our family security. Who are you, Jesus? You suggested I'd be laughing at the people who paid my wages. You would, I wouldn't.

He certainly is laughing at us as he pockets his million pounds a year laughing at us. I haven't laughed so long and loud in a long time. Good for him and you'd do the same if you had his skills. You might, I wouldn't, that's the difference between us I suppose.

Who's the idiot though, he does it to an extent where he gets death threats, no one who comes from the same country gets this. He makes his own bed, now he can sleep in it, oh and stop complaining all the time about the abuse he gets, it's as if he likes the attention. Let's be honest it's what he's most famous for, not his football ability unfortunately. Did I claim that he gets abuse? You are all tripping g over yourselves to complain and he's laughing at you. He certainly is laughing at us as he pockets his million pounds a year laughing at us. I haven't laughed so long and loud in a long time.

I do care. About the reaction to it. This thread. I don't care about him wearing a Germany shirt. Jesus wept. Some people. So you care as much as everyone else who commented on the thread. Glad we cleared that one up.

The man is a walking contradiction... and a complete and utter knob obviously... I mean, I'm not enthralled by the US, but I live here and will raise a family here as this is where my wife is from (and she earns a lot more in the US than she would elsewhere). I'm not going to uproot our family and move to the UK to earn 50% of the salary for the same work. It's not always so black and white. It wouldn't surprise me if he moves back to Ireland when he has finished earning. Do you have a pathological hatred of the US though?

Just looking at it from a different perspective ..... If you're Irish, it's possible that you consider England as invaders and oppressors of your homeland. As such, it could be a form of protest against centuries of English oppression. Not saying I agree with his form of "protest" and for non-woke causes (like protesting against the killing of unborn babies and unlike rioting for an end to police discrimination) one is always going to pick up a lot of flak. Don't we need to respect his viewpoint and acknowledge that there are wrongs that need to be addressed? Or is that the sole privilege of players taking the knee? And before people go berserk, I'm simply stating a different perspective. If you hate England so much why would you spend your adult life living in the country you hate, bringing your family up in the country you hate and taking a very generous salary from the country you hate? The man is a walking contradiction... and a complete and utter knob obviously...

He plays for Borussia Dortmund, spent one season in China. The point is that wen WE tried to sign him he went to China. I know he plays for Dortmund but no relevant to then. The point I'm making is we signed Joe Allen about the same time we were chasing Witsel. A case of 'this is what you could have won'

Not sure what you mean, 5 years later he's still playing defensive midfield for the top ranked football nation in the world. What does that say about him? That he prioritised international football and money over testing himself in a top league? Complicated He plays for Borussia Dortmund, spent one season in China.

We did sign Joe Allen instead though😏 And Arnautovic, Bojan and Shaqiri etc Witsel ended up going to China which said it all about him Not sure what you mean, 5 years later he's still playing defensive midfield for the top ranked football nation in the world. What does that say about him?

That result shows what a good result England got against the Czechs. I do think we'll do very well in this tournament.

The difference it makes with a full crowd in It's a fantastic atmosphere, the final should really be in Budapest, in front of a full house.

Basically the usual suspects who wanted him to be poor refusing to admit he did ok today and loving the fact they lost and ignoring everything else to suit their pre game agenda I had a forlorn hope that Allen may actually shine in these Euros and we'd get a half decent fee for him this summer. Sadly he's disappointed again. His entire Stoke career has been a disappointment really.

I thought he was Wales most effective player this afternoon. I thought he was way off the pace, players running off him, no threat going forward and playing safe ten yard passes when in acres of space. I really want to like Joe Allen because he is clearly a model pro and decent guy but he is just a whole lot of nothingness, he is neither shit nor good, just achingly average and for the money he costs us every week I'd rather he wasn't here.

The season after he left we were relegated. But hey ho we'll enjoy the endeavours of Gregory and Vokes, they don't cause a massive disruption either on the field or off it. Yes I’m aware of that, hence my point. Not sure what Gregory/Vokes have to do with anything that’s been discussed about Arnie? but hey ho… enjoy! Gregory and Vokes are good none disruptive pros, do keep up.

Players like that raise the level of players around them. Lose those players and you end with a barrow full of shit, pretty much like we have now. Shame he didn’t when he was with us, yeah sure he was our only outlet and at times a joy to watch in a team that was at the cusp of and ultimately then immediately went straight to shit. He jumped ship and wiped his hands clean as quick as he could. Never got the sense that any team mates thought or enjoyed or gained anything from him being in the dressing room. In fact, isn’t there recollection that his presence was a massive disruption to everyone and it was all about his ego? The season after he left we were relegated. But hey ho we'll enjoy the endeavours of Gregory and Vokes, they don't cause a massive disruption either on the field or off it.

Great player. Fantastic talent. Even better at whinging & throwing his arms about in disgust at his teammates, however. His head would have to go through the changing room wall at the earliest opportunity. Players like that raise the level of players around them. Lose those players and you end with a barrow full of shit, pretty much like we have now.

We will be very lucky to have someone with his ability to play for us ever again yet it didn’t stop the fuckwits around me at games home and away ( but mainly home) giving him shit when he played for us. For me he is the most exciting player that’s ever played for us. BM Yeah he was and is just bit of a dick though. To give a super extreme analogy - you could say Hitler was one of the best you’ll ever see at invading countries and mass genocide…. 😬 An interesting analogy.

Arnie, what a player. I miss seeing him in a Stoke shirt every week. May be ruled out but that was a fantastic healer. We will be very lucky to have someone with his ability to play for us ever again yet it didn’t stop the fuckwits around me at games home and away ( but mainly home) giving him shit when he played for us. For me he is the most exciting player that’s ever played for us. BM I'll always remember the guy in front of me calling for Sobhi to replace Arnie every game.

Sabitzer also a good player, as is Hinteregger at the back. Got a very old skool Stoke style side, with a bit of Arnie magic at the top end of the pitch. Good side to be fair. I think Dragovic has been one of the stand out defenders in the tournament so far. They've got some decent players Austria.

Yeah they’re gonna have to sack Neville soon. I watched their first game and he did what I’d view if I was a Miam fan a very worrying interview. Banged on about hard work and said style wasn’t important. Made him sound like a right dinosaur and definitely not what you want from a new what’s to be exciting football club. He just sounded like a stereotypical old fashioned English manager. Yes I remember that interview, I couldn't believe that a youngish coach was coming out with such outdated and limited views. There's no question Neville was appointed due to his friendship with Beckham, not sure how much longer that loyalty will last.
